Joseph entered the store and opened the shop again then he sat on his favorite chair while entertaining himself with social media.
A sudden thought appeared on his mind, he was afraid that his Pikachu would become a thug forever and Pikachu needs someone to discipline him.
Joseph thought about it and suddenly he took the three pokemons that maybe can help him to "rehabilitate" his pikachu.
Pikachu walked like a thug as usual and went back to the playground, Joseph saw this and sighed.
He took a regular form Raichu from the game, this Raichu is technically Pikachu's blood brother and both came from the same parent.
While Pikachu was busy on bragging his battle result like a 12 years old to bunch of 6-9 years old kids.
The little pokemons composing of Cleffa, Iglybuff, Bonsly, Petilil, Happiny, Togepi, Azurill and lastly Pichu whose listening to her big brother figure with sparkling eyes. This bragging should be stopped now because it can corrupt the innocent minds of these kids.
Quillava and Ronleek(Farfetch'd) are sparring in the training room so they didn't know what Pikachu was doing to the innocent minds of those kids.
All of a sudden, something slapped the Pikachu's nape and he staggered.
Pikachu was so irritated and raging that it activated his gangsta mode, his eyes are so scary, all of the children felt scared on their big brother's sudden change. Pikachu tuned his head with yakuza like expression that can be seen in animes.
"Pikkkaaa piiikkaa!!!" Pikachu shouted with deep voice.
"Pi?" All of a sudden his face went back to the cute looking Pikachu when he recognized the one who slapped his head.
"Raichu." Raichu's arms are crossed waiting for his brother's explanation for shouting at him.
Pikachu apologetically scratched his head while simultaneously bowing at Raichu's direction because the one who slapped the back of his head is the OG his aniki Chonkyboi!!
Raichu glanced at Pikachu with indifferent gaze then at Pichu who suddenly went in front of Pikachu attempting to protect the slapped mouse.
Raichu smiled then he signaled Pikachu and Pichu to follow him.
Joseph saw everything, at first Joseph was surprised on the sudden slap but he chose to believe his Raichu's education.
Little did he know, Joseph made his worst choice to educate the thug with another thug... no a high class thug.
...
The advertisment poster of his shop on the Viridian City Gym didn't do well. It's been a few days since he posted that advertisment but the customer flow is the same.
"Maybe the reason of this is because of the conspiracy theories in the internet about me." Joseph said with lazy expression on his face. "Well, I guess this is better that being busy in a whole day."
"And when it comes to being a gym leader, there are no challengers because the League tournament just started this year's season 2 months ago and no one won against Giovanni when he was still accepting some battles that time." Joseph stretched his arms and yawned, based on his expectations his Gym's challengers will start to grow their numbers in the last 3 months of this year so the 7 badge rule gave him the opportunity to laze around and do anything he wants in the early phase of competition while receiving salary from the league.
Right now, Joseph is eyeing on the news about Mega evolution and Mega stones while reading some articles about Professor Sycamore's researches in the internet.
Joseph knows that the Mega Evolution phenomenon is known to other people but they don't know the reasons behind it because it was discovered by the first meeting of humanity and Rayquaza who can Mega evolve without using any external help like mega stones or bond with its trainer instead it can Mega evolve by using it's exclusive move Dragon Ascent.
"Professor Sycamore is still researching about it and he doesn't have any theories yet, maybe his research will become fruitful soon." Joseph glanced at the small boxes with different kinds of mega stones inside of it, he already arranged it and added a tag what kind of mega stones is inside each box.
The day in the shop passed like any other normal day and finally he closed his shop to rest.
Joseph noticed that the attitude of pikachu became better, his Pikachu was more a Pikachu-like, cute and adorable not a thug Pikachu from the hood.
"Raichu's disciplinary actions seems effective." Joseph smiled then he went back to the master's bedroom with sleepy mew on his shoulder.
[Pokemon POV.]
'Aniki was right, our Oyabun(Joseph) seems happy when I act like this.' Pikachu thought and went back to his usual thuggish self after Joseph left the room where they are resting with the other kids.
"Look at me little shit, you just need to obey me to please the boss or else I will personally make you as big as me because of swelling from my punches." Raichu also revealed his true self, from being a jolly and adorable Raichu to a thug.
"Next time you should train Pi-chan to develop our Johnson Family, we will be our boss's hands in the underworld of this city." Raichu patted the head of his little brother.
"As expected from Aniki, you know the best for helping Oyabun." Pikachu nodded with full of respect and reverence.
"Let's take over this city first and guard this shop from the shadows, I will be acting as the main big brother in our family since other brothers aren't here but let me warn you, the administrator is already here." Raichu said then he squatted on the floor.
"What? Why I didn't know that? Aniki who's that mysterious Administrator?" Pikachu was shocked to know that he's already with the mysterious Administrator of Johnson Family.
"Don't ask too much question kid. That administrator is someone you wouldn't want to mess even I is scared to him." Raichu remembered how powerful that administrator based his inherited memories in the game.
"O-okay Aniki I won't ask about it anymore." Pikachu bowed.
"The next is the recruitment, don't recruit those kids they are too innocent and young to join our movement but Pi-chan is different I can see the huge potential in her." Raichu turned his head towards Pikachu. "Sooner or later I'm sure the higher ups will follow me here, be courteous to others specially to the oldest Big Brother RoastedPig when the time comes."
Pikachu nodded he was just a Big brother in the Family and also one of the newly promoted shatei(Lackey/Little brothers) and knew that the Johnson Family structure is filled with godlike beings specially the administrator.
"Now go to sleep and join me to survey this whole city tommorow." Raichu suddenly became bolt of lightning and arrived at the comfy couch and rested.
