Reily climbed out of bed and threw open the curtains, a rush of warm, early morning sunlight flooded the room, bathing it in a golden glow. Reily couldn't help laughing, finally she would begin her pokemon journey. Reily's Umbreon, her faithful friend and partner in crime, not literally, stirred at the end of the bed, then sat up sleepily, stretching and yawning, displaying a full set of very sharp teeth.
"Umbreon! We're finally going to get to start our pokemon journey today! Mom's letting me go with Teagan and Rogue, because she won't let me go on my own."
"Bree!" Umbreon agreed, flopping back on the bed, but now fully awake, and looking around the familiar room alertly, his ears perked.
About five minutes later, Reily appeared, fully dressed, at the foot of the stairs, with Umbreon, looking positively excited. Her mother smiled almost sadly at her as she entered the kitchen. Breakfast was unusually quiet, and as she picked up her backpack, her mother went over to her.
"I can't believe it. I just can't believe it." She kept saying, over and over again, like a broken record. Reily, meanwhile, assured her that she would keep in touch and call home constantly.
"Bye, mother, I'll call when I reach the next town. Don't worry, you'll see a lot of my face."
"Bree! Umbreee!" Umbreon called, as they continued down the path leading to the low white fence, for decoration more than anything, that marked the edge of their property. She turned back to wave for several minutes, as her mother waved back, smiling sincerely now. Then she continued on her way, her mom stood there for another minute or two before disappearing inside the house.
"Hey, there's Rogue. Rogue!" Reily called, running down the street as she spotted one of her friends. It was quite a distance to run, even for someone who running came easily and naturally to. She finally managed to reach the spot where Rogue was and by then was breathing rather heavily from her sprint. Umbreon seemed to have followed along with no trouble at all, on the other hand. "Hello, Rogue, off to get your first pokemon? Where's Teagan? I'm going with my Umbreon, what about you?" A flurry of questions pelted her friend, she didn't know why she was feeling so...upbeat and cheerful today. She kind of felt like dancing around in the middle of the street, but obviously, that went completely against her nature and she would refrain from doing that, going with her better judgement.
