The next day brought even more of a suprise than the first, but one thing
remained the same.... every single ham had that dream again. "Okay, I'm
totally confused now." Sandy began. "Why is this dream haunting us like it
is?"
"I wish I knew." answered Maxwell while shrugging. "If I had some sort of clue on what was going on here, I'd make a clean assumption, but I don't, let alone can't."
"Maybe Elder Ham will know." said Hamtaro.
"Heke?" the other hams were confused.
Hamtaro went on. "We're all having the same dreams now, right? Elder Ham is probably doing the same thing, so we might as well tell him about it and see what he has to say."
"Not a bad idea." Boss said. "All in favor..."
"Aye."
"Then it's settled. Off to Elder Ham we go."
The hams went to see Elder Ham, hoping he could clear things up for the hams. "Do you think that Elder Ham will know something about this, Hamtaro?" asked Cappy.
"He should." Hamtaro answered. "If there's any ham that knows about this, it's Elder Ham."
"I sure hope so." said Dexter.
"Don't you worry my precious-mina," said Howdy. "If he has no clue, or if he does, and it scares you in any way, I'll be here to protect you."
"You doofus, you can't protect yourself, let alone her. She's better off-"
"On my own." Pashmina said, throwing her loosened scarf around her neck. "Come on Penelope, let's go."
It wasn't long before the hams ran into a familiar face... "Jingle, is that you?"
"One and only that I know of." Jingle answered. "Are you off to see Elder Ham too?"
"Oui." answered Bijou. "We have been having very strange dreams as of lately."
"They wouldn't be involving some strange hamster girl, have they?"
"So the hamster's a girl huh?" said Hamtaro. "We only get the shadow of her."
"You mean silhouette. Well, let's get going."
It took longer than usual to reach elder Ham and when they got there, Hamtaro explained the whole story to him. "Interesting." said the elder. "Do any of you know what this ham looks like?"
"I can help with that one." Jingle answered. The lonerham began to draw the hamster. After he was done, Jingle showed Elder Ham the picture.
"Hmmm..."
"So can you help us, Elder Ham?" asked Cappy.
"A Pureham." Elder Ham answered.
"What's a Pureham?"
"Purehams are hams with much knowledge. The ankhs on their backs are proof of their truthful ways."
"So they're honest?" asked Maxwell.
"Yes. But that's all I know about them."
"Nothing more?" asked Hamtaro.
"Nothing more. I hope that helps you young-ins. Well, I grow tired, I must sleep now. I know you all can see yourselves out, good day."

On the way back, the hams were down. Elder Ham didn't tell them much, and Jingle went his seperate way as usual. "Well, that was a lot of help." said Stan. "Elder Ham didn't have a clue at all."
"I disagree." said Maxwell. "But at least we know it's a pureham, and this pureham is a girl."
"It still doesn't help us."
"Don't you have a book of all kinds of hamster breeds, Maxwell?" asked a puppy-eyed Sandy.
"Yes," Maxwell answered, "but Purehams aren't in it."
"Like I said, it dun help us at all." said Stan.
"So who's ready to call it quits?" asked Oxnard.
"You must be hungry again, Oxnard." said Boss, a bit agitated. "Just what do you plan to gain if we have no clue about this Pureham?"
"Did somebody say Pure ham?"
As if on cue, Jam gigs his way to his friends. "Man, how have you guys been?" he asked.
"Cool." answered Stan. "Do you know anything about Purehams, dude?"
"Plenty, plenty."
"Good, 'cause we have some questions to ask you."s
"I wish I knew." answered Maxwell while shrugging. "If I had some sort of clue on what was going on here, I'd make a clean assumption, but I don't, let alone can't."
