Chapter 6
It remained quiet in the house for a little while. After the conversation I had with sam we returned. The armor was still sitting by the boys bed and that slightly surprised me. They must have quite the bond if one refused to leave the other, even for a moment. As soon as we came in Sam ran straight towards him and jumped into his lap. He looked surprised at first but quickly began to pet my brother. Seeing they had settled down I pulled myself onto the bed and watched as the boy's chest rose and fell in his sleep. My eyes softened as he shivered once so I pulled the blanket that had come partly off back up to his neck. Sitting down beside him I waited for him to wake. It wasn't long though until my own eyes began closing and sleep started to threaten me. I fought the exhaustion for a while until it finally overcame me and I drifted off.
I woke at the sound of a rough grunt. Opening my eyes I looked on as the armor sat up. "Brother! You're awake!" He squeaked. The blond boy looked over with his, surprisingly golden, eyes. "Hey Al. What happened?" He asked, trying to rub the sleep from his eyes. Then he spotted sam and his eyes widened. I couldn't help but snort at the surprised look on his face and he jumped before turning to me. Had we been in a cartoon or something, his jaw would have hit the floor. "W-what are those things?!" He exclaimed, pushing to get away from me. The armor, apparently named Al, tried to calm him down. "Please brother! It's ok! They're called pokemon. I've done some reading on them while you were asleep." I caught a glimpse of the stack of books beside the chair he was in and my eyes widened. That was a lot of books, especially saying he read it all in the time I'd been asleep. Then I heard the boy's stomach growl and got to my feet. Going over to the bookshelf across from the bed, I pulled of a recipe book and handed it to the boy. He looked surprised but looked through it. Seeing one meal, I noticed he licked his lips. Glancing over his shoulder I noticed it was a recipe for some kind of beef soup. I took the book from him and ignored his protest. Nodding to where Sam was in Al's arms I carried it down the hall and to the left, where the kitchen was. Setting the book up on the cabinet I quickly found the recipe and checked for the Ingredients. I also managed to find some beef roast that had not expired, in the freezer. Smiling slightly I looked at the recipe and began to cook

Okay. Weirdest day ever. One second I'm waking up to see Al and the next second I notice some weird fox dog chimera in his arms. Then I heard a sound and came face to face with a lizard, whose head had a skull on it's face, sitting indian style behind me. So I did the most logical thing I could do in that situation. I freaked out. "W-what are those things?!" I could barely recognize my own voice as I pulled back in shock. I nearly missed Al's voice through the thoughts whirling in my head but I managed to pick out that they were called pokemon. Then I kinda shut down until my stomach interrupted the awkward silence that had blanketed the room. It was then that I realized I hadn't eaten anything all day. The lizard looked amused and climbed off the bed before handing me a recipe book. I figured that meant I'd have to find something for Al to cook so I scanned through it. Suddenly I stopped at a page. On it was a stew that looked exactly like the one mom used to cook. I was about to look for something easier when the book was stolen from my hands. The lizard looked determined as it carried the book out of the room and Al and I watched on with surprise. Then I shook my head to clear my thoughts. "Where exactly are we?" I said, regaining a bit of my confidence. Al turned his helmet to look at me and handed me a book off of the stack. "We're in a place called the Kanto region. I don't know how we got here though. I guess it had something to do with that alchemist." Alchemist? Oh yeah. That's right. My mind flashed back to the strange man and the transmutation circle that was around the house. Then it hit me. "Al! If we're here doesn't that mean Winry's here too?!" The realization seemed to hit him and he straightened up in a bit of a panic, dropping the fox to the floor as It gave a surprised eep. "That means the Colonel and Lieutenant are probably here too!" Great. I'm a bit more worried about winry though. That bastard can take care of himself and he has hawkeye to back him up if anything went wrong. "We've gotta find her!" Al exclaimed and I put my head to my chin in thought. Then I jumped at a furry body in my lap. Looking down, my eyes met the oddly silver ones of the creature below me. His look seemed to say to wait so I sighed. "After we eat Al." I wasn't going to tell him but I felt a bit light headed still from being teleported here. My brain still was trying to process what was going on so I opened up the book Al had handed me and shut off the rest of the world as I began to read, discovering and learning about this new world that we are stuck in and trying to figure out how we are going to get back.
