289 Chapter 24 Daisys starter (1/2)
Next day,
A very talkative Gary Oak grabbed hold of Alex and have been mentioning everything that happened when he was away to Alex in his baby gurgles voice.
” He likes you more than he likes me. First you took my princess from me and now even my son likes you more. What did I do to experience things like this. ” Blue said while feeling down.
At Alex's side are Elsa, Cynthia and Daisy. They haven't left his side since he recovered. The only time, they parted ways was to sleep.
Elsa and Cynthia both tried to get Gary in their hands, but all of that was for nothing. Whenever anyone, except his mother Green tried to pull him off Alex, he would start crying loudly and won't calm down until his mother or Alex acted.
” How can you hold him but if we do it, he starts crying?” Cynthia complains about Gary not liking them.
” He knows I am awesome, that's why. Isn't it so, Gary?” He nudges his nose with his nose.
Gary used his baby hands to pat on Alex's cheeks.
” You are going to make him an idiot like yourself.” Elsa mumbles by the side.
” Hey, I am not an idiot.” He retorts.
” Is that so? Then what about that time in the sea cruise pool? What about that shopping extravaganza? What about that ...” Elsa starts to narrate the times when he acted like an idiot.
” So what did he do at those times?” Cynthia asks about the past incident when Alex acted like an idiot and what dirts she can get about him.
” Hey now wait,...” He tried to stop Elsa but she has already started to narrate those incidents. Cynthia looks at Alex in amazement from time to time and laughs loudly on other occasions.
Gary doesn't really understand why they are laughing but he joins them in laughing, making Alex feel even more miserable.
Around the group, Gengar and Espeon are telling their newest recruit Togepi about their team. Espeon also mentioned the does and don't of the team.
While they played with Gary in Alex's resting room, Bill, Lucian and Julius are left to deal with the over curious Daisy. They serve as a guard and guide during this course of the time.
” So Daisy, is it true that Alex is your teacher?” Bill asked the young Oak girl.
She has mentioned earlier that she has learned a lot since they last met and even mentioned something about Alex teaching her.
She nodded vigorously.
” Yes, he has taught me many things. Although he doesn't have much time to spend with me and teach me different things, he do it whenever he has time. ” She replied without looking at them and seem more focused on the new pokemons and the new place she was in.
She tries to grasp everything she saw in her mind.
” Who asked him to be your teacher, Daisy?” Lucian asked, curious who asked a young boy to be the teacher when you can have any trainer much stronger than the chosen person.
” That? It was grandpa. He told me that Alex will help me in my first six months of travelling, so I can get familiar with it. In this time, he will teach me as much as possible.
But, after six months I have to travel alone. I don't like being alone, at least I will have my pokemons with me to give me company.” Her face fell on being alone then brightened at having Pokemons to give her company.
To think that professor Oak himself let Alex be her guide meant he saw his potential and this way a protection is given to Alex should anyone threaten him.
Lucius asked a different question, ”Daisy, did you get your starter yet?”
Daisy was excited on hearing it, and nodded enthusiastically, she said,”Yes, I have a beedrill. It was a Weedle when I got him first. She is such a softy. I don't know why most people are afraid of him.
He doesn't like dad or grandpa though. Whenever they approach him he attack them. But, he is a softly when I, mom, Gary or Alex are around.
There is also aunt Delia and Ash who play with him from time to time. But, uncle Red got this big bruise in his back when he tried to touch him.” She started telling them about the exploits of their past.
” Why beedrill? You can get any Pokemon you wished for, if you asked your father or grandfather?” Julius inquires, shocked that she will use such a commonly found Pokemon as her starter when with her family's connection getting a pseudo legendary Pokemon is as easy as waving the hands.
” Why did you choose a Weedle?” Bill asked feeling that Alex may have a hand in this.
” Alex told me that they grow faster and if trained well they can defeat Pokemons stronger than them with their stingers.
Also I can always fly on his back. Other Pokemons will take time to grow to the height needed, on which I can climb and fly around.
