After seeing ghastly agreeing to it's trainer, the disguised person whom we know as Blaine headed towards Alex and John unnoticed.
After Arthur saw him heading towards his son, he defensively stood in front of his son and aggressively asked," Who are you? What do you want?"
Blaine just looked at him then at his son intently and said," I am just a Traveller. I just heard your children's declarations and I was curious that's all. kids, do you think you could really reach the summit which no one have ever reached ."
Alex and John looked at the stranger and vaguely felt him familiar but could not place where he saw him. As for his question he replied confidently," Of course"
Seeing this confidence he once again said, " There are many who dream big but could not complete their dream and get disappeared in waves of time and in some cases even die. Yet you are still willing to go down that path. "
After hearing these Alex and John looked pensive.
Everyone around them was also quiet looking at the drama displayed before them. After a few moments of silence, " Of I am not willing to accept the consequence of death in my journey I wouldn't have even started this at the first place. The moment I decided to become a member of the trainers association and go out on my adventure I already have arranged a place for my burial. "
"Then aren't you afraid that you will fail or what not"
" if I fail once I will try again if I fail again then I will continue to try . As long as I live I will never ever give up."
Hearing his reply, Blaine was shocked. In the place of the young trainer he saw the face of another person who changed the Pokemon world .
He saw Samuel Oak, the greatest researcher of this time who was also a champion level trainer. Blaine himself fought against him but in the end lost to his tyrannical Charizard and Dragonite.
After some second passed, Blaine in his grumpy voice replied, " Kid I am looking forward to what you will become in the future. I hope you will keep the same determination as you grow up. And since you are like this, I think this will serve you well."
Blaine pulled out a box from his bag. He said, " These are the eggs of a fire Pokemon. it will be of great use to you two when it grows up. It will hatch within half a month. The trainer who gave me this eggs told me to give it to someone who I see something. and I see that In both of you.
As for what that something is you will know in the future. Kids raise it well." After giving the egg incubator Blaine headed out.
Alex and John were stunned by this turn of events but later recovered and said, " One day both of us will come to you and beat you to show you didn't make a mistake by passing it on to me. "
Blaine just raised his hand in approval and left with without turning around. While this was happening his father Arthur was just watching it all. And suddenly said, " Alex and John it's good to be confident but you can't be over confident who knows what happen to you in this. "
Then he replied ," Dad, don't worry. I have a sense of proportion. As for what others say about me I don't care. It's the work of others to talk. "
"Well you have always been stubborn about matters . So have you decided what you want to do. will you challenge the gym now or something."
Alex and John pondered for a while after saying,"we will train Ghastly first then catch some Pokemon then we will challenge a gym or two. Now we still got much to do."
And they continued babbling about their future events . " Well since you decided to do so then let's rest and then you could head for your journey."
After this both father and son headed towards a hotel in the nearby and stayed there for the night while Alex talked to Ghastly and John talked to his ghastly. Though they could not understand him they could make out from their expression what they wants to say. So after having dinner they slept while ghastlys intently looked at the trainer thinking about the events that unfolded today.
Although it still was sceptical he believes that together they could do it and it stared at the Moon outside.
Next morning our herors woke up to the chirping of the pidgey and after seeing their Ghastly floating around them they remembered everything that happened yesterday.
They then happily asked Ghastly," Well buddy are you ready for today. We sure as hell am and ready to tackle the day . let us freshen up so we could get ready to go till till then you two talk among yourselves. "
Their father too stayed in the hotel as it was dangerous to go back late for fear of Pokemon attacks. Nowadays are not as calm as in the future where you could safely sleep in forest without fear of Pokemon attacks now if you do so you might be attacked by Spearow Caterpie or even pidgey. As for those who think Caterpie can't attack think if it sting shot you on your face can you breath . You may die of suffocation.
After freshing up and meeting their father below they went with him to the bus stop.Their father then said, " Alex and John now I am leaving so take care of yourself and look out . If you have any problem you could ask us we would try to help you as much as I can. Also do call home once in a while or your mom will become agitated. And good luck I believe you could achieve your goals." And he stepped in the bus and headed for Floral town.
While watching their father go he clenching his fingers he thought,' Don't worry dad we will be fine and take care of ourself and everyone else.'
Then to the floating Pokemon ," ghastly let's head out . For adventure awaits us . But be ready for we will train you so hard that you both would not be able to even float so are you ready."
Seeing the expression of it's trainer it was scared but after thinking of it's ambition it responded positively. " Well then it's head out. We smell the greatest adventure awaits us ." And then the trainers and pokemons started their new adventure full of uncertainty and danger.
