224 Chapter 13 Changes in Pokemon centre (1/2)
Next morning, Alex and his two proteges left the residential rooms from the third floor and head to the first floor for their breakfast.
They took their seat in one of the many empty seats. They were here at six o clock so the place is vacant except for a few people wasn't too surprising.
They gave their order and awaited their breakfast.
Alex looked at the two rookie trainers and asked,” Did you have a nice sleep?”
Daisy answered without a hint of hesitation,” The best. I didn't know that a bed could be so good. I am really going to miss it. ”
” Don't worry. We will stay here for a few days. You both have to be prepared for the first mission too. I will not accompany you in this. It is your solid task. ” He said.
The duo simply agreed and then had their breakfast. After that, they walked towards the mission center.
They arrived at the mission counter and watched that even in the early morning it was filled with people.
Jim asked the more knowledgeable person among them, ” Alex, is this place always this crowded?”
Alex himself was surprised because the last time he visited the mission center, it was several months ago. So he himself was confused about this sudden rush going on here.
When Alex was in a daze, a familiar voice came from the side,” Alex, Daisy, Jim, good morning.”
Alex turned around to see that it was the nurse Joy he met and talked with yesterday.
” Good morning, Nurse Joy.” The trio greeted her back.
” So what are you doing so early at the mission center. Are you here to pick a task for them, Alex?” She asked looking at Alex.
” Yeah. I thought of showing the brats where they can earn some change for their living other than their victory in a Pokemon battle or the winnings from some tournament. ” Alex explained and looked around the crowded place and continued,” But things have changed since I last visit this part of the Pokemon center.”
” Changed? What has changed, Alex?” Daisy asked her young teacher and guide.
” My mom was pregnant so I had to stay at home for almost six or so months and I haven't visited this part for almost a year.
I always get my tasks through the phone or met with the client himself so I don't have to visit it normally.
But I didn't think that things would be so changed after my last visit. If a small town's mission center can be so busy then I shudder to think about how busy the one in a big city will be.” Alex said.
” You really are something different, but nothing less could be expected from you. And for the reason why it is happening, you Remember the declaration of the league about elite four qualifications.” She stopped to see if they caught onto what she was on.
Alex's eyes flashed with understanding and he said,” So all of this is due to that. I did read it once, but because of my family issues, I kinda didn't go through it. I just skimmed through the page.” Alex said sheepishly while rubbing his head in the back in embarrassment.
Both Daisy and Jim were surprised about Alex behavior, meanwhile, Nurse Joy just shook her head. She thought there may be two reasons for the normally mature Alex to act like that. One was that someone was spying or targeting them and he didn't want to alert the soy, or Alex had his childish moment too every now and then regardless of his adult-like behavior.
Nurse Joy didn't try to think what reason it might be and began to explain them,” a Few months ago, the pokemon league issued a declaration regarding the elite four qualifications.
Due to a large number of skilled trainers, the league decided to cut off the number by setting up a special test. For this test, a certain amount of contribution is needed, so trainers now rush back to complete the task and earn the contribution points.”
” Contribution points?” Jim asked curiously.
