Chp 4

"Wake up sleepyhead."

Toby was jolted awake by the umbreon on top of him. He let out a unintelligible noise to show he was up. His paws came up and began to rub the sleep out of his eyes. Night gave him a lick on the muzzle.

"It's the weekend so... relax I guess. I gotta get up and make lunch though."

He opened his eyes to find the room in total darkness. Light flooded the room as the door opened and Night exited, leaving him still lying on the bed alone. As he came to consciousness, he climbed out of bed and went to take a shower.

While there, he debated what to do today. Hunting for sex with his aunts seemed disrespectful so that was out. It wasn't like he earned a rest for the weekend, he hadn't done any work. He got out and dried off, still undecided.

He opened the backdoor, planning to see if there was something to do outside today. The moment the door opened, he was hit with a blast of hot and humid air. The weather had stopped him from going outside for a while now, so he sucked it up and headed out into the harsh sun. The first place he wanted to explore was the flower garden.

Upon arriving, he found Dew the Leafeon tending to the flowers. She held a watering can in her vines, using it to sprinkle refreshment across her garden. "Hey Aunt Dew, how's it goin'?"

"Nice to see you Toby. It's a bit hot but the sun is nice. Care to help me out here?"

His nose twitched. "Sorry, but the pollen..."

"I understand. Not all pokemon can stand it. I've even known some grass types that have bad allergies."

"This place is amazing, though. It's so colorful." He admired, looking along the large circular patch of assorted flowers.

"Thank you. If you're looking for something to do, you could go swimming in the pool. It's perfect weather for it. And Breeze never stops hounding us to go swimming with her." A new vine sprouted from one limb and pointed towards a building across the way with many glass windows, some of them open.

"That does sound nice..." He thought out loud, staring towards the unfamiliar building. "I'll see you later then." He said, waving his tail as he walked towards the pool house, imagining the cooling waters.

The door outside led to a small locker room, only with three short, small cabinets and a shower. He passed through this and into the pool. The other three walls had large and clear windows, some of them cracked open, allowing the wind, and heat, to blow in. The pool was more of a gigantic bath than a full fledged pool. The shallow end was only a foot deep, coming up to most of Toby's legs. The deep end was about five feet deep. He would have guessed the thing to be around 5 yards long. As for Breeze the vaporeon, she was nowhere to be seen.

The waters were perfectly still until Toby dove into the deep end, surfacing a moment later, paddling his limbs to stay afloat. His fluffy coat was immediately saturated with cold, refreshing liquid. It weighed heavily, but it felt nice to swim again. The last time he had done it was when he was little. He swam a few short, quick laps, before he swam to the middle of the deep end. With a gulp of air, he dunked his head under, diving down to touch the bottom.

He put all four paws on the bottom. He stayed there for a moment, holding his breath as long as possible. He looked up to see the sunlight shimmering along the surface, the water itself was extremely clear. A wave of sorts flowed above him, briefly obscuring his vision, but it settled quickly, showing the crystal clear surface again. His lungs started to hurt so he kicked off and paddled to the surface. With a gasp, he broke the surface.
