"Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!" Nina said.
"Right back at you, Nini!" Kat said, draping her arms around her shoulder.
"It was sweet of Elise to invite us to Thanksgiving dinner." Eric said.
"Yeah," I said, "A couple of her friends she considers family will be over soon."
It was Thanksgiving Day, and Grandma Eli invited us to dinner. Her food is incredible!
"Jet and Charcoal! Come on out!" I cried.
At my command, my Garchomp and Charizard appeared.
"Think you can fly us to my grandmother's house?" I asked.
The pair nodded and ducked down. The four of us hopped on my Pokémon's backs, and they took the skies in a heartbeat.
"So, what does your grandmother make for Thanksgiving?" Nina asked.
"Macaroni and cheese, steamed veggies, mashed potatoes," I said, "The list goes on."
"Ooh, I'm getting hungry already!" Kat whined, placing her hand over her stomach.
I giggled and shook my head fondly.
They're going to love Grandma Eli's cooking. I can't wait to see what other dishes she has prepared!
That's when I heard a familiar roar beside us. Twisting my head, I smiled when I saw Dragonite.
"Hey, Dragonite!" I cried.
The others smiled and waved. Dragonite let out a friendly cry and started to fly ahead of us.
"Follow Dragonite, you two." I said.
Jet and Charcoal nodded before picking up speed. Once we flew past the clouds, Grandma Eli's manor was in view. When Jet and Charcoal landed, the four of us got off their backs and walked up to the estate.
"You said your grandmother's friends will be there, right?" Eric asked, "Does that mean the rest of the Elite Four will also be there?"
"She does consider them family, so yeah!" I answered.
"Awesome! I can't wait to see them again!" Kat said.
I looked upwards to see Charcoal and Jet flying around with Dragonite. I smiled as we continued up the hill. When we arrived, I knocked on the door and waited. That's when the door opened, and Klaus stood in the doorway.
"Happy Thanksgiving, Klaus!" I said happily.
"And to you, Ms. Eragona," Klaus said with a bow, "Please, come in."
He stepped to the side, and the smell of food filled the room.
Already it smells delicious in here!
Looking towards the kitchen, I saw Grandma Eli taking a pan out of the oven.
"Hi, Grandma Eli!" I said.
She looked up and smiled. When she placed down the pan, she walked up to us and embraced us.
"Welcome, kids." she said, backing away.
"Wow, Elise! You made all of that by yourself?" Kat asked, staring at the food on the counter.
Looking back, Grandma Eli chuckled fondly.
"With the help of my Pokémon, yes," she said, "However, I need some extra hands to help."
She looked back at us with a wink. The four of us glanced at one another with grins.
