14 Lake (1/2)
Early morning Saad and his Pokemon packed their stuff as they decided to move on. These last few days have been very peaceful. They didn't have any encounter with a Pokemon they would have difficulty fighting with and luckily didn't have any unfortunate accident along the way. The group of four were very much at peace as they followed their everyday routine. Waking up in the morning, walking for few hours onward with the Pokemon's wearing the new weights and training whenever they get time. And after they tire their body out they would take some rest.
A little busy routine for them, but it has slowly become a part of their life. Its been nearly two months since Saad set out on his journey and the time has done nothing but strengthens the bond he has with his Pokemon. He sometimes misses his home but the promise that he made to himself and the future of his that he wants to show his parents made him a little tough.
His Pokemon have become a lot closer to each other, they would fight Pokemon individually and when they learn something new they would share it with each other. And whenever they would get time to rest, they would play among each other refreshing their mental fatigue.
Although these last few days have been tough and busy for the Pokemon, Saad has not been slacking off either. He would constantly monitor them and re-plan their training whenever he feels the need to. And when he is not busy with his Pokemon, he would be either cooking or reading some books.
…...
Right now, he was thinking of taking some rest after hours of walking but suddenly he heard voices in the forest. He turned his face towards the north and muttered,
”Hm that's sound like Pokemon battling”
Saad quickly regrouped with his Pokemon as he walked towards that direction. He walked quietly as he neared and neared towards the source of those noises. He hid behind a tree and tried to take a peep but as he was about to do so, he got the shock of his life when suddenly a face appeared in front of his face.
”....”
”.....”
Saad stared at the strange creature in front of himself. It was a humanoid creature with a long white beard and was about 5.5” feet tall. It was wearing a blue training shirt and a black trouser. It gave off a mysterious feeling like it was something from ancient times.
Saad let out a loud shriek as he fell backward after the strange creature appeared in front of him. He quickly crawled back to maintain a distance and stared wearily at the source of his shock. His Pokemon quickly jumped beside him as they also stared at the creature that suddenly appeared in front of them without them noticing.
Saad stared in horror at the creature and stammered,
”What….What are you?”
Saad looked at the creature as it stood up and replied quietly as the wind made his beard dance.
”...Well, I am...…...an old man.”
......
It was afternoon and a group of two humans and some Pokemon were busy eating as they sat around a cooking pot.
”Sorry Sir, I didn't mean to be rude back then. I was just shocked when you suddenly appeared in front of me.”
”Hahaha, It's okay, I understand your surprise. I too nearly got a heart attack when I suddenly saw a young boy appear behind the trees as I was about to take a leak hahaha”
”.....”
