Chapter 55

"You know Charles our pen pal from Galar that just moved to Kanto last year with his brother Magi. Because Magi is getting training at the Cerulean City gym. Remember Gran Graves took him in since Magi couldn't get a family dorm at the trainer facility at Cerulean City." We go downstairs and I see my Grand Uncle Wilton. A fisherman from the Viridian City who came to watch me at my mom, his nieces, request.

Since she couldn't be here Wilton agreed to take care of me before I go off on my journey. With the stipulation that he would leave to go back to Viridian with me on the first leg of my journey. To make sure I don't get lost in the forest like many others.

"I remember Henry but isn't Charles on probation from vandalizing Oak's lab last week." I put down Eevee and watch it scamper off to explore the house. 

Henry nervously laughs," Um Jasper, Charles is being let out early on good behavior. Do you have any eggs? I'm starving I haven't had anything to eat this morning. I've been way too nervous to eat since were getting our starters today." He helps put down the utensil's and cups.

"Well, I'm just happy you kids are starting your journey now and not next year. I heard that next year some of the gyms are changing leaders. Like the Cerulean City Gym is currently being run by Ara Cascade. I think her nieces will be taking over next year." Wilton puts down the food. Misu soup, steamed rice, grilled fish, pickles and a few side dishes.

We all say," Itadakimasu," before digging into the food. I fight Henry for the grilled fish, and he won. Wilton rolls his eyes chuckling," Kids there is plenty of food. Jasper, I see your egg hatched. You must be so excited since the egg came from your father."

My father from what I can tell from memories has been off fighting in the war for the Pokémon League. It is required by all adult men to serve three years in the army before being allowed to go home. Women are except from this if they have children otherwise, they too have to serve three years in the army.

The army goes to regions not part of the Pokémon League and confines them to join. The new region will be closed off for a few years to help the inhabitants to get used to the new rules. Like having an established gym circuit with a Champion and Chairmen as the head of it.

The first Champion is from what I remember the best solider who helped occupy the region. Sometimes it can be a person actually native to the region. This is starting to make me think is the Pokémon League evil?

Then oh no I created another thing that will give me headaches. What is my problem and creating evil organizations'. First Team Mafia now the Pokémon League what will be next evil- no don't you even finish that thought.

"Hey Jasper, are you oaky? Your uncle asked you a question and you blanked out. Oh, by the way Mister Winston can I have any more grilled fish? You make the best grilled fish in the town. You should open your own restaurant. I know I would definingly be your first costumer." Henry reaches out his empty plate to Winston.

"I'm fine just a little tired. Uncle Winston, Henry is right you should open a restaurant. Your fish is amazing." I fed Eevee a little bit of fish since I don't have Pokéfood for it. I should pick some up in the local market. They sell all kinds of products to local famers good to things that can't be gotten unless you go to Viridian City. 

Winston chuckles giving Henry more grilled fish," I could never open my own restaurant. I'm too old and busy fishing to do it."

After a few more miniutes everyone is done eating and Winston waves goodbye to me and Henry. Now we are off to Charles house.
