16 Unearthed History (1/2)
”Dad, it's fur, look at it!”
Arthur and Khali were also curious and took a look at the Pikachu again but they didn't see anything amiss. Instead they were more relaxed when seeing that the Pikachu became quite and calm now. It frightened them both by several notches earlier.
Blue observed the Pikachu intensely and even the patted its fur carefully. Then a sudden gleam in his eyes revealed enlightment and amazement:
”Hmmm! You are right! My girl, you also have very sharp eyes!”, he praised her under his breath.
”Sir, what's wrong with it?”, Khali asked, as he couldn't stand the silent tension anymore.
”This ...”, he stopped talking for a couple of seconds, starring through the boy's bodies. His mind somewhere completely else. Then he returned:
”This, I can't tell you for now. Arthur, I ... think it might not be the best time to receive the Pokemon. I mean, it's from the wilderness and it would be the best to tdo some tests first you know? To make sure everything is really really alright, right?”, he asked him.
Arthur suddenly got strange vibes from Blue, as if something had happened and he tried concealing something. Very badly. But it didn't matter as Arthur fully trusted Blue. He saved his life after all:
”Sure, if it doesn't cause you any troubles I would be happy.!”
”Hahaha, good to hear that. Don't worry, it won't take long. It's actually common to do tests with wild Pokemon first. Who knows what they came into contact with otherwise. It might endanger the people even.”
”Sir, I-I have another question. Earlier right before the Pikachu went unconscious. I-I was sure that I had seen you behind the desk, but then suddenly you just appeared in front of Arthur, how ...?”, Khali remembered the incident from before and the shock reappeared when seeing the memories flash in his mind.
”How that was possible, you mean to ask me?”
”Yes!”, Khali said promptly,
”Please say superpowers, please say superpowers, please say superpowers!”, he thought intently.
”Sorry, but I don't have superpowers if that's what you thought boy.”
”Oh ...”, disappointment was written on his face, similar to when Blue talked about his missing arm.
”Hahaha! Your face, haha, sorry but that's how it is. Actually, it's more about ... Martial Arts!”

”Yes! Martial ... Arts ...”, Blue was about to continue his explanation when a sudden thought came to him and made him dazed for a moment. His eyes lit up and he grinned broadly.
”Sir? Is everything ok?”, Arthur asked concerned, expecting that Blue might experience another traumatic memory.
”Me? I am fine! Don't worry, haha! But there is something I just remembered. Hehe, Arthur you see, there are some important procedures that I can't really take care of at the moment for our Pikachu issue to work out. There is someone I know very well though who could help you out but he usually resides in Pallet City. The thing is, I remembered that he is regularly visiting the Martial Arts Center in Viridian City! So Arthur, if possible I would like you to see him and just talk to him about it. Don't worry, I will give him a heads-up about everything that happened so far so that he isn't completely unprepared when you meet up with him.”, Blue explained with a mysterious smile hanging on his face.
”Pallet City? Shouldn't it be ... Pallet Town?”, Arthur thought inwardly and asked him,
”Who is that person Sir?”, no matter what he had to do, he would get this job done so that his mother and his sibling could finally live a better life. His goal seemed so close, only one small task away.
”Hahaha, you should know him. He is always in the media doing commercials or competing or whatever. It's my little brother!”
Khali's eyes widened in shock at these news and he exclaimed:
”Wait ... Blue Oak's little brother ... do you mean ...?! Do you mean Gary Oak?!”, Khali asked doubtfully.
