Sewer Adventure

Next day they both (Lance and Alex ) met at the cafeteria to eat after feeding their Pokemon in their room.

While eating Alex asked," Do what is your plan for the day?"

" Well buy some food, training objects and some snacks to eat on the road."

" You are a glutton" Alex deadpanned.

" I am a glutton then what about you. Did you forget how much you are yesterday." Lance retaliated.

"I am not a glutton, but a gourmet." He justified himself.

" Oh and what is the difference between them"

" A glutton is one who just swallow whatever he feels is worth eating, while a gourmet is one who savours every bite and let himself sail in the Dreamland of food ."

"don't try to justify yourself while using flowery words to define Gourmet."

" Anyway what are you gonna do today Alex."

" Same as I did yesterday roam around the city and buy some berries from the market. and anything which interests me."

After finished eating they both parted ways and went to buy their own things. Alex too headed to the market. It was about an hour and a half walk from the center. After all every big city has a radius of a few kilometers unlike a few kilometers diameter size of his hometown.

The main city were developed with the gyms mostly at centre and other things built around and they expand outwards. The more safe the place is from Pokemon riots the more the people live there. One of the biggest problem of the league is Pokemon riot and in order to combat them, trainers were granted special privleges but they must participate in the security, protection and to combat the riot.

The better one acts during the battle the better rewards they will be awarded. These contribution also help trainer in some things they want. Heck they could also be regarded as privilege points. Some of the gym leaders today are promoted on the basis of their contribution they get awarded in these riots.

His hometown mostly had bug type Pokemon so it was relatively safe from Pokemon riots.

As he reached the market he smelt several scents of Berry and of various flowers they sold which help Pokemon power improve by integrating them. He had bought many berries pertaining to the like of his Pokemon. It costed him about 3000 coins much cheaper than his any other expenditure in the city.

Also moving around he ate a cream bun he bought. As he was passing a seemingly empty street a persian appeared in front of him then as he focused on him a pair of Meowth came from the shadows and took the packet of cream bun and ran away. Seeing it stolen then the Persian looked at him cunningly and then ran too.

Before Alex recovered from his shock of his food stolen from his hands he became angry. In his family there was a golden rule since his childhood,' NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED NEVER TAKE HIS FOOD' . When. he was a child his father took his piece of cake 🍰 and ate it and boy was he angry. The aftermath was recorded by his mother. And the result was his father's face marred with scars and bites.

Heck he won't even leave it for his siblings so where was he going to leave those stray Meowths and Persian. He immediately called his Swinub to trace them. and to make him work more deligently he even said he would reward him with berries. He was following Swinub behind as he followed the scent.

After moving crisscross in the street he stopped in front of a manhole. Normally one would give up at this point, but to anger a foodie like Alex by stealing his food won't work. He then entered the manhole. In the water there he found some grimer and magicarp. Some Rattatas which were playing hide when hearing his footsteps. He followed Swinub for half an hour and reach a big opening. There were tens of Pokemon such as Nidoran both male and female, grimer, Rattatas, Jigglypuff , zubats and Golbat, Oddish , gloom and even a rare eevee. and at the center stood the Persian who stole his food and around it those Meowth of hers.

At first glance one could see that they were leader but later we can see all the surrounding Pokemon placing their food in front of Persian and those who could not give enough was harshly attacked by it. but because of their own weak strength no one retaliated.

After some thought he arrived in front of them and said," You could have stolen anything but you shouldn't have stolen my food. Whoever stole my food pays dearly. I hope you are ready."

Persian just looked at him lazily and then raised it hands as of saying come on. Then all the Pokemon dashed at him to attack. His Swinub froze them into popsicle with powder snow and then attacked Meowth and Persian with avalanche. Since they weren't well fed and weak so they went down in one hit.

He caught Persian and it's 12 Meowth kid for selling. But seeing those pitiful Pokemon he couldn't decide what to do. As he was thinking about their crisis their ice melted and they looked meekly at him.seeing that he took down their leader.

Suddenly the eevee which got his interest stood in front of them and " eeppp" loudly as if saying before reaching them he would have to go through him. Seeing his battle spirit and resolve he decided something.

"I will leave them if you become my Pokemon. Of course if you don't then they will suffer a bit".

Hearing this eevee drooped then looked at the Pokemon behind him then slowly walked in front and angrily stared at his eyes then tapped on a Pokemon on his waist and got itself captured.

Heck he was joking when he said that but who would have thought he would take him seriously. He then brought out some of the berries he bought .

They still looked at him fearfully then a brave young nidoran came out to eat and then called out them to eat saying it was safe. as they ate he released the eevee. He looked at them eating and it's stomach grumbled. Alex gave it some food too. He then gave them some seed and asked them to plant it secretly so that no one could take their food. and also told eevee that he was joking and he doesn't need to follow him like that.

But Eevee was prideful and he decided to follow him. After saying tearful goodbye to them he left the sewer and headed to the Pokemon center to rest. and introduced Eevee to his all Pokemon.

After feeding them dinner and having his own with Lance they decided to leave the city early morning.

Meanwhile in the Viridian Forest

"How many trainers have you caught?"

"Sir we have caught 26 Trainers."

" No this number is not enough. Speed up time for the trial is coming."

" We don't want to embarrass ourselves in front of other teams. Hurry up and complete the cut."

"Sir but if we do so we will be discovered by the league."

" No. They already know by now about us and are probably going to take action against us soon. So hurry up and also start our departure plan."

"Yes sir"
