<--------------------Beginning of Chapter-------------------->

Narrator: Previously in the last Chapter, Matt, Ash, and Tristan had fought off Team Rocket, and successfully defeated them! Now, we join them to where the trio are sleeping to a peaceful sunrise in the Capital City of Eichen! What will happen to our heroes today? Read on to find out!

~~~~~~~~~~Eichen Gang's Journey~~~~~~~~~~

Everything was tranquil as the sun slowly rose upon the star of the Eichen Region. The serenade of the forest Pokemon grew to a close as the powerful solar rays pierced through the thick leaves of the trees.

The city, while currently quiet, would soon be filled with activity in the streets and plazas. People who woke up early were still stirring in their beds, and from there, a group known as the Eichen Gang, were no different. 

Matt had a small smile on his face as he dreamed. He was back home, celebrating something he hadn't the slightest clue about. Tristan, meanwhile, was moving in his bed, the feeling of exhaustion no longer lingering.

Being an early riser, Tristan was waking up slowly while stretching and yawning. Pressing his lips together, he looked over to where Ash's bed was. To his surprise, though, Ash wasn't there. He sat up and scanned the room to find him, and his eyes landed on someone who was in the corner of the room.

What time is it..?" The person in the far side of the room murmured, searching through a bag.

Tristan sighed in relief when he realized it was just Ash, but that relief would be short-lived.

"AHHHHHHHH!!! IT'S ALREADY 6 AM??!!" Ash shouted, putting Tristan on alert and jolting awake everyone else in the room.

Matt shot up as he heard Ash yell, narrowly missing the bed's headboard. Eevee, who had been balled up on Matt's chest, was sent across the room like a projectile. "What's happening??!!" Matt asked in a panicked voice.

As he realized what Ash was causing the commotion about, Tristan looked annoyed. "Big deal, we still have an entire day to burn."

Ash's head slowly turned in Tristan's direction like a horror doll, giving off a bit of a frightening vibe. "With that attitude, we'll never leave this room," Ash said with a nervous laugh, on the verge of going crazy.

"Not like that's a bad thing anyways..." Matt responded, stuffing his face into the pillow.

"Oh yes it is. Come on!" Ash said, putting on his backpack and practically dragging Matt out of his bed.

"Why does this remind me of my sister..." Matt thought as he felt the cold air hit him.

Tristan, while he didn't seem keen on going outside, tagged along since he was a part of their group for now. "Let's just get going, then," he said, already feeling drained from Ash's outburst.

Matt and Tristan gathered their stuff as Ash waited by the door, tapping his foot impatiently. The sun was already rising above residential buildings, with some people leaving their homes for the day.
