Chapter 6

"I think we should probably take a break and eat Dinner." Will declared.

With her stomach growling "I think we definitely should."

The two set their stuff down and set up a tent for them to sleep in. Luckily for Will, Sarah could cook very well. The two gathered some sticks and leaves and piled them in to a pit.

"Growlithe use Ember, please." Will pleaded.

The orange dog spewed little balls of fire onto the pile of leaves and sticks. Before long, the fire was ablaze. Will made two makeshift chairs for himself and Sarah. Sarah began cooking a mushroom soup. She had learned to cook from her Mother who had to take care of her full time since her father wasn't around. On the other hand, Will had learned very little on how to cook from his Father. A majority of the time they would eat microwavable foods or go eat fast food restaurants. It was just another upside of Sarah.

"Dinner's ready." Sarah exclaimed as she poured the soup into six bowls and laid them out for all of the hungry adventurers.

She grabbed her own bowl and sat on the log that Will had found for her. Will grabbed his bowl of soup and dug in. To no one's surprise, Growlithe finished first.

"So I'm guessing that it was okay." Sarah joked.

"It was absolutely amazing, Sarah. You are such a good cook." Will stated.

"I try my best."

"Well your best is incredible."

Sarah blushed. She began to clean up before Will protested.

"You have done enough today. I will clean up. It is the least that I can do."

"It is fine, but if you must insist, I guess you can clean up." She jested.

Will stood up and began cleaning the bowls out. He had been so nice to her from the moment they had met each other. He was definitely the nicest guy she had ever met. She watched as he cleaned all the cooking utensils and realized she might have feelings for him. She had been feeling different ever since the time he ran into her on the way out of town. She didn't know if she should tell him about her feelings for him. She was scared that he would not be able to reciprocate those feelings. He enjoyed his Pokemon Journey so much that she thought that she would be a distraction to his goal of being the very best. She was so lost in her thought she didn't hear Will ask.

"Does anyone want the last bit of Soup?" Will asked.

Surprising to absolutely no one, Growlithe decided to finish off the dish. After the bowl was licked clean, he put the fire out and set aside all of the cooking utensils. Will climbed into the tent and lied down next to his Growlithe who curled up next to him. Sarah said she had needed to go use the bathroom and that she would be back in a minute. All of a sudden, Will heard Sarah scream. A silhouette appeared in the light of the moon into the tent. Will's heart began racing. Sarah climbed into the tent in a hurry. She began to babble about seeing a ghost and how it started chasing after her.

"I'll go see if it is still out there." Will said.

"You can not go out there. What happens if it attacks you?" Sarah pleaded with the stubborn boy.

"It is a risk that I'm going to have to take to keep you safe." Will answered "If I do not come back, do not leave the tent until morning."

She reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"Nidoran stay here and Protect, Sarah." Will demanded.

The purple rodent nodded.

"Growlithe you are coming with me to help fight this ghost." Will commanded

The orange dog jumped up and stood by his trainers side. The two were going to be together until the end. At every sound, Will jumped in fear for his life. He had heard a collection of noise from behind a tree that was about 50 feet away from the tent. Will slowly approached the tree with Growlithe on his heels. They turned the corner to see a purple ball of gas with eyes staring back at him. Will jumped back, but didn't scream. The ball floated over towards the boy and licked him with a long pink tongue. Will being surprised by this had no idea what to do. His Growlithe was growling like crazy. In a moment's notice, the ball disappeared into the night. Will still being in shock of what had just happened, stood there in silence before heading back to the tent. As he approached the tent he could hear a gasp from inside the tent.

"Will is that you?" Sarah fearfully asked.

"Yea its me." Will declared.

He climbed into the tent and was immediately hugged by Sarah.

"You are the bravest person that I have ever met." Sarah said cheerfully

All Will could do was blush.

"Did you see the ghost?" Sarah questioned.

"I did, but it disappeared before I could do anything to it." Will announced.

"So is it still out there?" Sarah asked

"Probably, but I will not let it mess with you. No matter what." Will declared

The two laid down together and Sarah curled up next to Will. Will was feeling like a hero, but he honestly hoped that the ghost did not come back. He had put his arms around her as if to protect her from anything that would possible hurt her. She had never felt so safe.
