CHAPTER 122 – PROFESSOR BURNET

In the previous chapter we see how Ash, Molly, Latias, Pikachu and Selene arrive to Alola where Professor Kukui was waiting for them, who after a conversation with Selene's mother, takes them to his house so they could see their new home, there they meet Lillie with whom Ash is enraptured and vice versa, they also take a look at their rooms then Molly and Latias decided to sleep in the same room as Ash and Selene in a separate room.

...

With Ash.

"Do you like it? I gave it my personal touch" - Lillie said shyly.

Selene looked at the room puzzled, and then looked at Lillie who was looking at her expectantly.

"It's beautiful! Did you really decorate it by yourself?" - asked Selene in surprise.

"Yes" – she nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

"Well, let me tell you, you're talented for this, it's awesome, isn't it guys?" – said Selene looking at us.

"Yes, I love it plus pink is one of my favorite colors and I must say that it looks great on the room" – I nodded.

"Yes, it's amazing, it's like the room of the princess of stories!" – Molly said with a big smile on her face.

"Pika pi" – Pikachu nodded.

Latias also nodded.

"I'm glad you like it..." – Lillie said shyly.

"Yes, Lillie has a great talent... well, what do you think if we go to the dining room to watch television for a while until my wife comes?, I have hired Nesflis so we can see all the movies and series we want" - said the professor.

Yes, in this world there is also the platform that we all know only that this is called Nesflis instead of the other name that I will not say the name.

"Looks good to me" - I nodded.

"Yes, I'm pretty tired" – Selene nodded.

"Yes, I feel like watching a movie" - Molly nodded.

"Pika pi" – and Pikachu.

And Latias too.

"Well, let's not waste any more time, my wife will be here in about 4 or 5 hours we have time to watch many movies and also, what do you think if we order some pizzas to eat?" – suggested the professor.

"But professor, I can make some food for everyone" - Lillie said.

"Nonsense, today we will enjoy some delicious pizzas" – said the professor.

Then we all went to the living room but not before indicating the bathrooms that there were, which by the way were 3, two of them were outside the rooms while the third was in the room of the professor and his wife.

On the couch.

"By the way, we haven't talked about renting" – I said before starting the film.

"What are you talking about?" – asked the professor in confusion.

"I mean, you've given me work with pay and accommodation, how can I stay here for free?" – I answered.

"I think I already said it to Selene's mother but here nobody has to pay rent for anything, I will not accept money, if you want you can invite us to a meal and we will be in peace" – said the professor.

Seriously, he's going to give me a paid job and on top of that he gives me free accommodation, not that I'm complaining but I don't feel good living here without paying anything.

"But... At least let me help with light or water" - I insisted.

"Of course not, since I was the one who offered it to you naturally you will not pay anything at all, my wife also agrees on this, so there is nothing to talk about, I will not accept your money" – denied the professor.

How altruistic can this man and his wife be?

"Okay, but from time to time I'll invite you to a fancy dinner and i won't accept a 'no' for answer" - I nodded.

"We have a deal but it doesn't have to be luxurious, I love fast food" - said the professor.

Is it serious? Well, now that I remember him in the anime it was not shown that Ash paid anything, so in that sense it is the same as the anime, although I must say that I like this man very much.

...

A few hours later.

After this little talk we started watching a movie while to eat we ordered some pizzas and so, she spent the whole afternoon watching movies, by the way, Molly sat between my legs while Selene and Latias on the other side, Lillie on the other hand sat as far apart as she could from Pikachu, I could notice that the Pokémon give her some fear as it happened in the original story.

It was not necessary to assume much because Lillie herself confessed that so that there would be no misunderstandings in the future.

And so the hours passed until finally someone opened the doors of the house and entered directly into the living room.

"I've already arrived honey... You don't know how tired I am" - the woman said.

Basically for anime connoisseurs, his wife was Professor Burnet, I won't bother describing her since you already know who she is.

"Welcome home, don't you guess who I brought today?" – said the professor.

The professor looked around and when she saw us she smiled.

"Wow, the house is lively, that girl must be Selene and that boy must be Ash with his Pikachu, but who are the other two?" – asked the professor Burnet as she left her briefcase on the table.

"They are Ash's little sister, Molly and her friend Bianca, apparently they came with him to Alola" - the professor replied.

"I love them, just look at them, they are both beautiful! Don't you think that the more we are, the better? I think it's going to be a very fun from now on" - said the professor Burnet.

Surprisingly she did not react as he thought, it seems that they are two of a kind.

After this, she went to her room to get changed and returned in a blue pajama.

"Well, it's time to make dinner, does anyone have any preference for anything?" – asked the professor Burnet.

"Wait, we are so many, how about ordering something for dinner for today at least?" – asked the professor.

"Nonsense, are we going to eat fast foos every day? I don't mind cooking something for us" - said the professor Burnet.

"The professor is right, besides, I will help her" – Lillie nodded.

"I will also help I know something about cooking and if not, I can always help with the ingredients" – I said getting up from the sofa.

"I don't know how to cook but I can set the table" - Selene said.

"I will also help with the table, at home I always do" – Molly also said.

Latias and Pikachu also nodded.

"See? We can't eat fast food every day plus these kids will help me cook, problem solved" - said the professor Burnet.

"Okay, then I'll wash the dishes after the meal" - the professor nodded.

After all I am staying in this house for free without paying anything, the least I can do is help with the housework.

After this, we all started doing homework, the professor and Lillie cooked while I helped them with a sauce they were making, cutting ingredients, etc.

Molly, Selene and Latias helped set the table while Pikachu and the teacher were watching us to see if they could help with anything.

"I must say that I am surprised that you know how to cook so well, not many people can make that sauce as good as you in the first time" - said the teacher.

"It flatters me, I only have basic knowledge, actually who is good at cooking is my friend Nancy and Koharu, you will see, she will come with two friends in 3 weeks" – I said.

That's right, what I know about cooking I learned from the two of them, Verity was not good at cooking.

"Don't tell me... are they going to stay here too?" – asked the teacher.

"This... If you don't want to, I can look for a rental apartment" – I said somewhat embarrassedly.

"No, I already said it, this house is very empty, I love that they come here, I will not let you rent anything, they will stay here and there is no more to talk!" – denied the teacher.

Wow, both are two of a kind, I'm glad, so at least I don't have to look for a flat for them.

"Thank you very much, if there is anything I can do to thank you then only say me" – I said with a grateful tone.

"Nonsense, the fact that you are here is enough reward as I said I like that, now the house is lively" – said the teacher.

After this little talk we continued cooking until everything was ready so we sat on the chairs.

"By the way, can I know when school will start?" – I asked as I ate.

"School started about 4 days ago, so you will have to come tomorrow" – said the teacher.

"Huh, and why didn't you let me know? I could have come earlier, I had nothing to do in Pallet Town" – I said somewhat surprised.

"It's okay, it's been a very smooth few days, isn't it Lillie?" – said the professor looking at Lillie.

"Yes" - Lillie nodded.

"Are you a student too, Lillie?" – I asked, feigning ignorance.

"That's right, Lillie is one of our students, as for the rest you will meet them tomorrow, you will see, I'll asure you will like them" – nodded the professor.

"They are all good people, the first day we became friends without any problem" – Lillie nodded.

"Yes, I was there too and they are good boys" – nodded the professor Burnet.

"I'm looking forward tomorrow then, although I don't know what I should teach, I don't even know if I'll be good at that" - I said somewhat nervously.

"Don't worry, you'll take care of the Pokémon battles, that's your job as a teacher" - said Professor Kukui.

"Do you want you to teach them how to battle?" – I asked in confusion.

"That's right, although not everyone wants to be a trainer, the school teaches them to battle in case they need" - the professor agreed.

"But I thought Lillie was afraid of Pokémon" - I said, looking at Lillie.

This one just bowed her head in embarrassment.

"That will be your second job, to get Lillie to stop being afraid of Pokémon" - said the professor.

"Well..." – that was me trying to say something.

But Lillie interrupted me at that moment.

"I know it's irrational but I want to stop being afraid of them, can you help me please?" – asked Lillie hopefully.

"Brother help her... poor thing" – Molly said somewhat sadly.

Obviously I'm going to help her, I still don't know how but this will be decisive for her to fall in love with me, now here is a dilemma, the reason why Lillie left home is something because of her mother, however, about the end of the anime they reconcile and together with her brother Gladion they embark on a journey to find their father, which I already know where he is but I can't find a valid excuse for it.

I can only think of an idea to try to go to Crown Tundra, I will think of a way to go without looking suspicious and pass in front of his father's house to have the perfect excuse and the only way to do that would be with the help of Roxy and Gloria, first I will inform myself about the Crown Tundra to see if there is anything worth to see there and then I will look for the key moment to tell Lillie, I think when she reconcile with her mother will be the best time.

"Of course I will help you, you'll see, you'll stop being afraid of Pokémon in a flash" – nodded with a smile.

"Thank you!" - exclaimed Lillie gratefully.

Okay, first step completed.

"Anyway, now that you know your role, how about letting your Pokémon enjoy Alola? We have a very large garden so you can let them to sleep and live in there if they want" - said the professor.

True, everyone deserves to enjoy the warm climate of Alola.

"Okay with me, I'll go to the garden" – I nodded.

"Do you mind if we go with you? I saw your battles in the Indigo League and since then I wanted to see your Pokémon up close" - said the professor.

"Obviously, come with me" – I nodded.

We all went out into the garden which was quite dark but luckily a strong light illuminated enough for us to see what was in front of us.

"Isn't that light ideal? We often eat out to enjoy the pleasant weather, that's why we buy it" - said the professor.

Well, it's a good idea really.

After this I took out my Pokéball.

"Come out guys, it's time to enjoy of this wonderful region!" – I exclaimed throwing the Pokéball in the air.

And then all my Pokémon came out.
