Chapter 6 - Family Visiting

I felt something wet on my cheek and I let out a small moan before opening my eyes slowly to meet none other than Pikachu's own eyes. "Pikachu," she said cutely. I smiled, "Morning, Pikachu," I muttered before slowly sitting on my bed. I stretched my arms up and let out a small yawn.

"Man, we shouldn't stay up so late, huh?" I said and Pikachu smiled, "Pikachu." I got up and changed my clothing before heading downstairs with my yellow Pokémon. We headed to the kitchen to see Hanna placing the breakfast at the dinning table with her back facing us.

"Morning, Hanna."

The woman jumped slightly and turned around quickly, holding her hand on her chest. "Miss Emma," She breathed out. "Are you okay? I didn't mean to scare you," I said. "Oh no, sweetheart," She said. "I'm fine. I just thought you were Marina."

My eyes grew wide while Pikachu froze. "Pika?!" she asked, quickly looking around. "Uncle John's wife?" I asked, looking around as well. "Where is she? Is she and the kids are here?"

"Well yes," She informed. "Why I didn't know this?" I asked, looking back up at the woman. "I don't know, Miss. I'm sorry," She said. I let out a sigh and shook my head, "It's okay," I said.

I heard footsteps approaching the room and I turned around to see Mom, Dad, Aunt Marina and her daughters; Annette and Lena. "Emma!" Lena called happily and rushed to me as Pikachu quickly hid behind me.

The girl hugged me tightly and I let out a breath as I wrapped my arms around her. Don't get me wrong, I love her and her sister, they family, but they very spoiled - well Lena is more spoiled then Annette.

"Good morning, baby," Mom greeted with a smile. "Morning," I said as Lena finally released me. She spotted my Pikachu hiding behind me and she grinned, "Pikachu!" The yellow Pokémon's eyes grew wide as she made eye contact with my cousin. Before Pikachu had the chance to ran away, Lena grabbed her and pulled her to her arms, hugging my Pokémon tightly. "I've missed you, did you missed me?"

"Pika!" Pikachu cried, trying to pull herself from Lena's arms. "Lena, it think it's enough hugging," Dad said. Lena looked at my Dad and suddenly, Pikachu managed to get out of her arms and she jumped to mine. She let out a sigh in relief as I send her a soft smile before looking at the others, "Pikachu and I gonna head off to Gary."

"How about later? We haven't seeing you for two weeks," Aunt Marina pointed out. I glanced down at Pikachu before back up, "I kind'a promised Gary I'll come over and I didn't knew you guys gonna come. Sorry, I'll be back later."

With that I rushed out of the room. "Miss Emma, what about breakfast?" Hanna called. "I'll eat at Gary's," I called back before walking out of the house. Pikachu and I sighed in relief and then I looked down at her, "Let's go."

"Pikachu," she nodded with a smile before jumping out of the arms and we headed off to Gary's place.

It didn't took us long to reach to the Oak residence and when we did, I knocked on the door and waited. A few seconds after, the door opened, reveling Gary. He smiled at me, "Hey, Em, what you doing here?"

I smiled shyly, "Hey, I um, told my family that I promised you that I'll come over to you house." He frowned, "Why's that?" He asked. "Aunt and cousins are at the house," I replied simply. "Oh," He said. "I see... Aunt Marina and the girls came to visit."

"Yep," I said before he took a step a side and Pikachu and I walked in. "Did you and Pikachu eat something?" Gary asked. "No. Kind'a wanted to get away," I replied. "Pikachu," Pikachu said, nodding her head.

"Well, I didn't eat breakfast yet so let's eat together. I think Gramps have some Pokémon food so I'll go check for that," He informed before heading to the kitchen.

I dropped myself to the couch and sighed. "Don't make yourself comfortable," Gary called. "Very funny," I called back and got a laugh as a response. "Pikachu," My Pikachu said with a smile and hopped to the couch, sitting beside me.

I groaned as I set up before the front door opened and Professor Oak walked in. He spotted me and gave a smile, "Emma, good morning. What are you doing here at this hour?"

"Morning, Professor Oak," I greeted the nice old man. "Just wanted to come by early."

Gary walked back in and looked at his grandfather, "Hey, Gramps. Do you still have some Pokémon food?"

"Of course," Professor Oak replied with a smile. "I'll make you kids something to eat as well." With that he walked to the kitchen and Gary walked over to me and sat down on the couch.

"So, what about Uncle John?" He suddenly asked. "Was he at your house?"

I shook my head, "Uncle John told me he was too busy so I guess that's why only Aunt Marina and their daughters came alone." I then let out a sigh as I petted Pikachu's head. "Was it really been four weeks since we saw him?"

"What about your other Uncles?" He asked. "Did David and Norman came to visit?"

I shook my head again, "They live at different places, you know. It's not easy."

"Yeah," He muttered. "Your family is really busy."

"You telling me?" I muttered, letting out a sigh.

...................

After eating with Gary and Professor Oak and hanging out with Gary, I decided I should go back home. "I'm home," I called as Pikachu and I walked inside.

"Great, you back."

I looked up the stairs to see Dad, "Can we talk at my office?" He asked. I glanced down at Pikachu before back at my Dad, "Sure..." I followed him upstairs to his office with Pikachu.

We walked into the room and Dad closed the door. He turned back to me and sighed, "Emma, what you did this morning wasn't very nice," He stated. I crossed my arms across my chest, "What did I do now? I didn't know they were coming."

"If you would have been at dinner yesterday you could have," He said. "Yesterday," I repeated. "It's a short time for this."

He sighed, placing a hand on my shoulder, "I know you don't like your Aunt Marina and the girls but can you--"

"Then why are you making me be nice to them?" I cut him off. "I know they are family. It's Uncle John's fault for that."

"Oh, I know," He said, making a small smile escape from my lips. "But hey, if I have to be nice so do you."

I rolled my eyes, "I'm trying," I muttered. "Try harder," He comment, smirking. "Now go."

"I'm going, I'm going," I said and he let me out of the room with Pikachu. We headed to my room and I closed the door after. "I can't wait for us to go to our journey, Pikachu," I said as I walked to my wall that had all the pictures from over the world that Uncle John gave me every time he came to visit.

"I can't wait for us to travel in all those places," I said. "Pikachu," Pikachu agreed, hopping on my shoulder. "We could met new people and Pokémon. How great is that?" I asked my yellow best friend. "Just imagine all the things we can see."

"Pika!" she said, smiling. I giggled and smiled at her before looking back at pictures, "Just one more year."
