CHAPTER 17 – JEALOUSY

*Note: I need more five star reviews, XD.

...

Hearing those words, we both broke up in embarrassment, don't blame me, in my previous life I was cheated by my ex-wife, and I never ever interacted with another girl, so technically I'm new to this.

"Thank you very much" – I thanked.

"You're welcome, you deserve it, you battle great, are you sure this was your first gym battle?" – Roxanne asked.

The prowess that Ash showed in the battle was not typical of a rookie, but rather of someone experienced, even she, as an experienced gym leader, had only seen a few trainers with this talent.

"Yes, it's my first gym battle, in fact, I was extremely nervous before coming here" – I nodded.

The truth is, if I hadn't been so tired, I probably wouldn't have slept well last night because of the nerves, but seriously, all morning until the start of the battle, I was extremely nervous, in fact, a part of me believed that I was going to lose the fight, but then I said to myself, if the original Ash won the battle, how could I lose? It was totally impossible and I refer to the facts.

"By the way, what about the badge?" - asked Celeste.

True, they haven't given me the badge yet!

"Ehem, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that this isn't my gym, so we'll have to wait for the receptionist to bring it to us from wherever Brock keeps them" - Roxanne said.

She was just a stand-in, how was she to know where Brock kept the badges?

"Here I have it!" – said the receptionist suddenly.

The gym badges were kept in a safe, because believe it or not, there were many thieves who were dedicated to stealing gym badges and then selling them on the black market, so they need to be caotious.

When the receptionist arrived, my eyes shone, in his hand was the Boulder Badge, just like the anime, amazing... In my previous life I saw many replicas, but this is the original!

"Here, Miss Roxanne" - said the receptionist.

"Hmm, why didn't you give it to him directly?" - asked Celeste curiously.

"Miss... these are the rules of the Pokémon League, only a gym leader can give the badges to the trainers, anyone else who gives them to them... it will be considered a crime" – said the receptionist.

A somewhat strict rule, but understandable, I suppose there must be many scoundrels who steal badges.

"That's right, it's a measure imposed by the Pokémon League and not only Kanto's, but all over the world it's like that" - Roxanne nodded.

"I see, you'll never go to bed without knowing something new" – Celeste nodded.

"I agree with your words" – I nodded.

"Anyway and going back to the subject... congratulations, this Badge is yours" – said Roxanne.

Then, she gave me the Boulder Badge and I put it in the same place where Ash from Kanto used to put his badges, I always wanted to do this, what a thrill!

"Look, Pikachu, we all got the Boulder Badge together! Isn't that great?" – I said with a smile.

"Pika pi!" – Pikachu nodded.

I didn't want to take my Pokémon out of their Pokéballs because I knew they were tired, there would be time to celebrate this later, when I take them to the Pokémon Center and they are completely healed.

"By the way, what will you do now?" – Roxanne asked.

"Mmm, the truth is that I have no idea" – I said thoughtfully.

"Should we head straight to Cerulean City?" - asked Celeste.

That was the place where Ash would have to head to win his second gym badge.

"If you want, we can do it" – I nodded.

It's a bit early, I think we could get there in time.

"Haaa... now I can tell you're rookies" – Roxanne sighed.

"What do you mean by that?" - asked Celeste.

"Yes, is something wrong?" – I asked.

I was curious why she said those words.

"Miss Roxanne has said this because to arrive to Cerulean City, you will first have to go through the MT. Moon" – said the receptionist.

"That's how it is and seeing the time it is... you won't arrive in Cerulean City before nightfall, in fact, I doubt you'll arrive at the Pokémon Center at the entrance to the MT. Moon" – Roxanne explained.

"Yes, I know we have to go through the MT. Moon to arrive to Cerulean City, but... It seems to me that it is quite early, are you sure that we will not be able to get there before nightfall?" – I asked curiously.

How far is it from here to Cerulean City?

"From here to MT. Moon is more than 6 hours away and to arrive to Cerulean City it would be another 5 hours" – said Roxanne.

"So much?!" – Celeste exclaimed.

Actually, it's not far-fetched, I remember that in the video games, both Cities were very far apart, so it's not unreasonable to think that in real life they are too.

"Of course, it would take an hour by car at most, but I guess they don't want to travel by car, or am I wrong?" – Roxanne said.

"Obviously, we want to see the world around us and we don't want to go by car, we want to walk and discover the mysteries of this world" – Celeste said.

"And live a lot of adventures" – I added.

"As I guessed, then you'd better go sightseeing around the city today and leave early tomorrow, if you want, you can see the museum, there's a lot of Prehistoric Pokémon fossils there" - Roxanne said.

"It's not a bad idea, what do you think, Celeste?" – I asked.

"It's a good idea" – Celeste nodded.

"Pika pi" – Pikachu also liked the idea.

"Decided, today we will go sightseeing and visit the fossil museum" – I said.

"Good decision, then let's go!" – Roxanne said.

"Huh? Are you coming with us?" – I asked curiously.

"Obviously, I doubt that more challengers will come today and I also want to go sightseeing, so we will all go together!" – Roxanne nodded.

"Miss Roxanne..." – the receptionist tried to say.

"Just call me if another challenger comes along, but for now I want to go sightseeing with my new friends" - Roxanne said.

"Okay..." – sighed the receptionist.

When saying the word "friends", Celeste and I were surprised, but we didn't say anything, Roxanne seemed to be a good person and was very nice, as well as beautiful, I see no reason why she can't be my friend.

"Ok, then let's go" – I said.

Then, the three of us left the receptionist alone.

"Why does everyone leave me alone? Please, Arceus, I beg you not to come any other challenger today, I don't want to go through the same thing as before..." – said the receptionist.

It was clear that today was not his day of good luck...

…

At the Museum.

After sightseeing around the beautiful City and lunch at the Pokémon Center, we went straight to the Museum, although it was a bit late, it was more than two hours before the museum closed, so, according to Roxanne, we had plenty of time.

"Come on, hurry up, I want to see the fossils of the Kanto region" – Roxanne said excitedly.

As long as it was a rock-type Pokémon, Roxanne couldn't keep the excitement going, she loved those Pokémon, they were so adorable!

As you can see, everyone has their own tastes.

Anyway, we were looking at fossils for a long time, it was a nice evening with two beautiful women.

"Come, Ash, let's go see the Galar fossils, they're the last ones" – Roxanne said grabbing my arm.

When she did, I could feel her breasts sticking to my arm, ah... What an amazing feeling.

Seeing that action, Celeste frowned and grabbed Ash's other arm.

I think Celeste got jealous because she did the same thing as Roxanne.

"Come on" - Roxanne said.

Roxanne already knew that Celeste was in love with Ash and Ash seemed to feel the same way as Celeste, but... Who says she couldn't also be Ash's girlfriend? In this world it was normal for a man to have many women, if she can, Roxanne would try to conquer Ash and if she had to share him, so be it, as long as she could have him as a boyfriend, she didn't care.
