Chapter 4 The adventure begins.

I had a dream last night, I dreamt that I was standing near a ring, People were surrounding us in stands and were all cheering. My brothers and Evan were there...as well as a sixth, it was another flareon, and all of them were all watching tensely at what was in the ring...I couldn't tell what they were. They were surounded by shadows, both looked like humans, but that can't be right! Humans never fight each other personally...do they? they leapt at each other and hit together these items that looked like syther arms, and in a bright flash...everything went white, and then I woke up. I had no idea if my dream meant anything. What I did know is that Jenna still had her arm wrapped around me from last night...Jenna, she wasn't in my dream, i was very confused about it, who was that flareon? and who were those figures?...I just decided to forget about it, no point in worrying over a dream. I managed to get loose of Jenna's arm without waking her up. I was aparently the third one to wake up. Greg and Jared were already awake, Jared was on the window sill watching the sunrise and, remembering what dad said, umbreons don't need much sleep.

"Morning guys" I gave my usual greeting

"Morning..." Jared said without even looking away, he was so wrapped up in his sunrise that he didn't even look away. Greg was pacing around, already looking bored and unattentive.

"I said good morning!" I whispered to Greg while tackling and pinning him. He growled playfully at me and pushed me off, when I rolled off though i bumped into Kevin and woke him up.

"Time to get up already?" he asked in a sleepy voice, standing then stretching.

"Sorry Kev"

"No that's ok, I actually wasn't asleep actually" He gave a yawn, I looked over at Jean-Paul who was still asleep, he's such a heavy sleeper

"Should we wake him?" i asked

"No way we can without waking the Jenna and Evan" Greg said, he was right, the only way we can ever wake him is for me to whistle or for us to tickle him. We then heard footsteps aproaching the door and then came a knock. Jenna's mom then entered the room.

"Jenna, Evan shouldn't you two be waking up soon? I'm getting breakfast started" Jenna got up and ran her hand down her face and yawned. She started to nugde Evan but he just rolled the other way

"Evan, it's time to wake to up" she said to him, he just groaned "Come on Evan!" she started sounding impatient. Evan once again ignored it, she gave a deep sigh, put her fingers in mouth, and gave a whistle louder than mine. this caused both Evan and JP to jump. the rest of us started laughing

"What the hell!?" they shouted in unison then looked at eachother with odd looks

"Hey, that's what you get for not waking up" Jenna said to the two

"Alright I'm awake" Evan said and got up

"Shut up guys!" JP yelled at us, we just continued laughing, he growled and headbutted me on the side.

"OK, ok calm down" I said, we stopped laughing and followed Jenna to the kitchen, there I smelled something, It smelled like spicy apple "Hey what smells so good?" I had to ask

"My mom's oatmeal, she adds the flavoring of apples and cinnamon"

"Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes" Jenna's mom called out, Jenna and Evan went to the table and Jenna's mom came with a few bowls for us she handed a one to each of us. the food was pretty good, but not as good as what we had last night. after breakfast Evan went home to pack up and get ready, Jared and Greg went with him. Jenna went into her room to do the same. while waiting we got bored and started playing our usual games.

"Do you guys do that alot?" Jenna asked, seeing us play together.

"Yeah, pretty Much" Kevin said

"Well, I'm done packing. So that means we're ready to start!" she pulled out JP's and Kevin's pokeballs and they withdrew to them. Jenna's mom began to hug her,

"We Jenna, I guess your finally heading" Jenna's mom said

"Yeah, finally going out to see the different lands," Jenna said

"I'm gonna miss you" Jenna's mom said embarcing Jenna, she handed her a few things she called pokedollars and we headed to Evan's house, "Good luck" we heard her mom shout before leaving, Evan's house looked a little flashy, probably because his sister was a gym leader. We met him outside with Eos.

"So you two are finally going to start your jorney, well if you make it far then I'll be seeing you in the ring later on." Eos said

"Hopefully one day we will test who is the better eon master" Evan said, Eos nodded and they said thier goodbyes and we headed to what Jenna called the docks. there we saw these "ships" as Evan called them. We got aboard one and it took off into the water. we were allowed to explore around. Although it seems Greg wasn't exactly in an exploring mood

"Ohh, why won't the ship stop shaking" he groaned, stumbling around

"You ok bro?" Kevin asked

"I don't feel very good"

"Greg must be getting seasick" Evan said, he picked him up and brought him into a room. I continued exploring the ship

"Your surprisingly calm about all this" I heard Jenna say

"What do you mean?"

"I expected an inexperinced fire type to be a little more tense around water. You see, your actually right to be calm, water can't truly hurt you unless you have your fire organ active."

"My...fire organ?"

"Yes, you see, all flareons have a special organ that lets them breathe fire, unless they activate this organ ,usually when in combat, they can safely touch water"

"Well that's some useful information!" I said, I had no idea how it worked, I saw Evan come out of the room he took Greg in

"Hey Andrew can I see you for a moment?" Wondering what was going on I followed him into the room. Inside I saw Greg lying down still not looking too good. "Andrew can you lie down on this table?" Evan asked me.

"Whatcha got in mind?" I asked back

"I'm just gonna groom your fur" He pulled out a thing with many little spikes,I trusted him so I jumped up on the Table and lied down, he walked over to me and started running the object through my fur. it actually felt pretty good so I just relaxed and let him "groom" me

"What is that thing anyway?" I asked as he ran it through my fur

"It's called a brush, we use these to get the junk like dirt and twigs out of fur and make them look nicer" He continued to brush me for a little while longer. when he was done he pulled out this case and removed what looked like some piece of bread from it

"What's that?" I asked

"It's a type of candy, here catch!" he threw it to me and I jumped up and ate it, it was a nice dry flavor, one of my favorites

"Thank you, that was tasty!" he chuckled while pulling out a different brush, it looked more like a thick gel with small bumps on it

"Get Kevin for me please, it's his turn" I nodded walked out to find Kevin, I figured he had a brush designed for each of us, kevins brush look more for his gelled fur. I found Kevin watching the waves go by.

"Hey Kev!" I shouted to him

"Hey Andrew, your looking nice" he said noticing my newly groomed fur

"Thanks, actually Evan wanted to see you in the room, he said it was your turn" He nodded and headed to the room, after a while i began to get bored, I went over to where Jenna was.

"Hey Jenna, how much longer is it gonna take?" i asked

"Not too much longer now, look out there..see that?" I looked out and saw a city on an island "That's Karst City, that's our destination, we'll be getting there in a few minutes" I watched as the island came more into view and in a few minutes we were at the docks. we got off and were in Karst City "Ok lets got get something to eat first then head to the gym" Jenna was obviosly eager to start battling, I must admit I was excited too!
