!READ NOTES AND CREDITS FIRST! Chapter 1: New Forest Home Evie was laying on Esbelda’s back as they were walking to their new town. Evan, her twin brother, was on Umar’s back. “Mom, I’m tired!” Gladdea complained. “We’re almost there, Gladdea.” Esbelda said. “Just a few more minutes.” Lea was jumping from tree to tree, stopping every few times to not get lost. “I quite like this!” “We’re almost there.” Umar groaned. “I’d usually be sleeping right now, so you don’t have much of an excuse, Gladdea.” The next morning, Evie woke up on a bed of soft grass and leaves, next to her brother Evan. Esbelda was making breakfast by the fire. “Good morning mama!” Evie said, jumping off of her bed and going out of the room. “Morning to you too, Evie.” Esbelda said. “Can you go wake Lea so she can help me out?” Evie nodded. “Yes mama!” She walked over to Lea and brushed her tail on her face, waking her up. “Eeevviiee!” Lea groaned. “I’m trying to sleep!” “Mama needs help!” Evie giggled. “She’s making breakfast!” Lea stood up and sighed. “I’m going to go get dressed and stuff, tell mom I’ll be there in a few minutes.” She said, walking to the bathroom. Evie walked back into the kitchen. Later, the family was all gathered around a wide stump to eat. “Umar!” Esbelda shouted. “Wake up!” “Do we have to wait for him?” Jolyon complained. “He takes forever, and I want to eat.” “Mother, why are there so many whiny people in this house? No offense, but it’s true.” Sylvia asked. Esbelda shrugged. “I don’t know, sweetie. I honestly don’t know.” “I’m ready, I’m ready.” Umar said, walking out and then sitting down. “Oran and Sitrus mash again?” “Yes, again.” Esbelda said. “It’s Evie and Evans’ favorite.” “Can we eat now?” Evan said, wagging his big, fluffy tail. Esbelda nodded and he shoved his face into his bowl. “Evan, eat properly.” Umar said. “He’s 5, Umar. Give him a break.” Esbelda said. “Fine, but he better learn some manners when he’s older.” He said. Later, Lea and Vane took Evie and Evan to a nearby park. Evie met Pia, a Pichu about her age. “Hi there!” Pia said as she sat on the swing next to Evie. “I’m Pia, you?” “I’m Evie!” She said. “Pia is a cool name.” “Thanks! And also, I’ve never seen an Eevee in person, so seeing you is kinda cool.” Pia replied. “Oh, well there were a lot of Eevee from where I came from!” Evie said. “We just moved here.” “Cool!” Pia said. “Are you going to Dragonite’s Charter School too?” Evie shrugged. “I don’t know.” “Oh, well I hope I see you there!” Pia said. “Mommy told me it’s a really good school!” Rae, Pia’s mother, walked up to them. “Pia, it’s time to go home.” “But I made a new friend!” Pia said. “Can we stay a biiiit longer, mommy?” “We have to go pick up Pichi now.” Rae said. “You’ll probably see her again.” “Okay, bye Evie…” Pia said, jumping off the swing and walking away with her mom. “Hey Evie!” Evan said, on one side of the seesaw. “Come over on the other side!” Evie jumped off of the swing and ran over to the seesaw. She loved the swings, but the seesaw was always her favorite. When they got home, Esbelda was already at work. Jolyon was laying on the couch, writing in his notebook. “Hi guys.” Jolyon said, still writing. “I’m just studying for 9th grade since I’m starting high school. Mom already left for work, and dad’s asleep as usual.” Evie and Evan ran to their room. They loved to play with leaves that have fallen from the trees that make up the outer walls of their room. A few hours later, Umar walked into their room. “I’m going to go shopping for a bit, behave for Jolyon and Gladdea.” He said. “Got it?” “Yes papa!” The two said in sync while nodding in sync. That was their best skill; doing things in sync. Umar turned around. “Good.” He walked out of the room. “Hey, Evie,” Evan said. “I wonder if we can go outside.” Evie nodded. “Gladdea is nice! She’ll let us out!” Evie and Evan ran to Gladdea’s room, where she was texting her friends on her PokéPhone. “What do you need, you two?” Glasses asked. “I’m talking with my friends.” They looked at each other and then turned back to Gladdea. “Can we play outside?” The two said together. “Not without Vane or anyone older.” She replied. “Go get him or something.”
