290 Chapter 25 (1/2)

She asked while sniffling, ” Do you have to leave so soon, Alex?”

Alex Pat's her head gently and apologized, ” Sorry Daisy. But, we have to reach Hoenn in time, and we have already delayed the cruise ship for a day.

Also, I heard that there are legendary Pokemons in Alto Mare. How about this, I will go there to find them, and when you start travelling I will lead you to meet them.” He proposed the meeting of legendary Pokemons to her.

This did the trick and she looks at him excitedly, ” Really? Pinky promise” she raised her pinky finger up.

Alex rose his little finger to promise

” I promise ”

After that, they left August house and departed for Happy Town for their next trip forward.

This time, Lucian and Cynthia decided to join them, for they themselves are embarking for the Ruin exploration there. Hence, Elsa declared they will be travelling with them, without Alex, Bill and Julius consent, on this matter.

And they aren't brave enough or suicidal to challenge her decision which isn't even that bad to begin with.

On there way, Elsa was filling Cynthia on the things they can do in the cruise ship, which involves from ocean exploration to shopping to casino to different food,swimming, sun bathing, paragliding, and many more.

The girls have a Togepi on their arm which was their reward for passing the test. The Togepi enjoyed their trainer's embrace, on the other hand Alex's Togepi doesn't like riding on his trainer's hand.

It likes travelling on foot and if tired he would return to the pokeball to rest, but he won't ride on his trainer's hand.

Togepi is too proud to seek help or act childish in front of others.

He do have his childish moments. When Alex scratches his spikes or clean his egg shell he dies like those touches, but he never let anyone see those shameful things. He have Alex do it when no one is around, none of Alex's friends or his Pokemons are around.

But, unaware of Gengar's ability of hiding in the shadows, he has unconsciously given Gengar much material to tease this new recruit of the team for years to come by.

Alex who saw the girls talking to each other excitedly feels a sense of dread in his near future.

He turns to Bill and said, ” I am really doomed. Earlier, it was Aurea and Elsa, but after Aurea left Cynthia joins Elsa to make my life a living hell.

The cruise ship is for enjoying the journey and the luxurious life it offers, but here I become a valet to these girls and suffer.” He knows that Elsa will drag him into her mess very soon in the future.

Bill pats his friend's back to comfort him.

Alex knows his future is dark but he still thinks he better be prepared for that and learn more about Cynthia. He turns to Lucian, ” Say Lucian, dies Cynthia have any problem with shopping, ordering someone around or things like that? You know the girly stuff where they order us poor men around to do their biddings. ”

Lucian revealed it to them, ” She is just like any normal girl in these cases. But, her most iconic thing is her inability to choose the ice cream flavor she wishes to eat.

Sometimes I had to wait an hour or two before she finally makes her decision. There are times when I tell her to buy them all if she likes, but she says, ' I don't like wasting my money or anyone else on these little thing.'

So Alex of you get dragged away, I will be very happy because I will be saved. Don't worry Alex I will enjoy my time very well. Your sacrifice won't go in vain.” He joked about Alex's eminent future.

The boys laughed at his future plight. Just like Elsa took hours to choose her dress and things she liked, while not buying things even if she has money, Cynthia has her ice cream deficiency.

Something which Elsa likes a lot. And will try to visit the ice cream parlour or the restaurant at least three times a day, for her daily nourishment.

In her words, Ice cream is the secret of her soft and beautiful skin.
