14 Lake (2/2)
”Well young man. Why don't you introduce yourself?”
”Oh, I apologize for my lack of manners. I should have introduced myself a lot sooner. I am Saad a Pokemon Trainer from Sandgem Town.”
”Hm, A Pokemon trainer….So, you must be going towards Oreburgh City to get yourself a gym battle, right? ”
”Yes sir, you are right. I am planning to get my first badge from there.”
The pair continued the talk as they began to get familiarize with each other. The old man was named Veteran Grant, he was a retired Pokemon Trainer who is in the forest to train his Pokemon. He lives near Oreburgh City with his son and his family.
”Sir, If you are retired then why are you still training your Pokemon?”
”Well, just because I am retired does not mean that I can't train my Pokemon. I just don't travel around challenging other Trainers anymore.”
”...I apologize, that's was a stupid question from me.”
”Nah, it's okay.”
”But still sir, why train in this forest away from the city?”
”Hm, that's a good question. You see I am trying to catch a new Pokemon around here with the help of my Staravia”, the old man answered as he pointed to the bird Pokemon who was eating together with Saad's Pokemon.
Saad stared at the Pokemon and smiled in adoration,
”It's so beautiful..”
The old man stared at Saad and smiled fondly as he began to remember his grandchild.
After admiring the beautiful Staravia, Saad turned his face to Veteran Grant and continued asking his questions,
”What kind of Pokemon are you trying to catch, sir?”
”It's a Pysduck. My grandchild loves this Pokemon so I decided to gift it to him on his birthday.”
......
After Saad and the old man continued talking for a while, they decided to pack up. The old man was going towards the lake which was east of where they were right now, to try and find a Psyduck. According to the old man, the lake is full of water type Pokemon and is a popular site among travelers who wish to get a water type Pokemon. Saad was excited when he heard the old man, he was also thinking of getting a water type Pokemon of his own. So, he asked the old man and asked him if he can join him.
The old man agreed smilingly and so, the excited young Trainer began to move towards the Lake in order to get himself a new Pokemon.
