The salty sea breeze filtered through the cracks in the wooden house, bringing with it the constant murmur of waves gently breaking against the shore. It was early, and the sun had barely risen over the horizon, dyeing the pale walls of the small beachside retreat gold and coral. Inside, on the second floor, in the bedroom, the Vaporeon slept peacefully.

The Vaporeon lay on its back with paws spread out at its sides, resting on top of the sleeping trainer until the alarm clock on the nightstand began to ring. The Pokemon woke first, yawning with its small mouth and sharp teeth as it stretched its paws before turning around and looking at the now-awakened trainer with deep black eyes.

The Vaporeon got up on all fours from where it was lying on the trainer, walking over them until positioned on their head, wrapping its tail around it protectively, clearly not wanting the annoying alarm clock to interrupt one of the most comfortable moments of the day - a time when it could be close to the trainer without any distractions.
