CHAPTER 15: INFORMATION

Several ideas circulated through Professor Kukui's mind, it was only after a moment that the professor decided to ask:

"Alec, by uncle Alder you mean..."

Hearing the professor's tone, Alec nodded to himself, this was exactly the reaction he wanted to elicit.

"It's not easy to convince a professor to help you get the pokemon you want, aside from the issue of the professor's trust, it's more the concern if you're fit enough to breed pokemon."

Alec knew that it was more likely that the professor would tell him one thing than another about the pokemon he was looking for and wanted, but if he expected the professor to make an effort to help him, it was dream, but everything changes if you have a champion as a backup.

If even the champion himself thought that Alec was fit to breed a dragon pokemon, which was one of the most troublesome species to breed, then Professor Kukui would have no reason to reject Alec, moreover, he could perhaps even give him a hand.

So, thinking of this, Alec nodded towards Professor Kukui, saying:

"It's just what you imagine professor, in reality, uncle Alder is my adoptive father, but I got used to calling him Uncle Alder, and he was also the one who introduced me to Professor Aurea."

Hearing this, a strange expression appeared on Professor Kukui's face, which was a mix of astonishment and stupefaction, but then a helpless smile appeared on his face as he thought:

"It seems like he is serious about getting some pokemon from the region, not only did he show me his background to show me that he has the qualifications to train pokemon, but he even showed me that he has the capital to give them the best training conditions."

As a pokemon professor and researcher, how could he not recognize the blue liquid as the liquid to improve the pokemon's rating?

"If even Professor Juniper managed to get her that, it's obvious how much trust she has in this boy... well, why not help him?"

Also, remembering what had happened this morning with the rockruff and the rotom, the professor already knew that Alec seemed to have a natural affinity for pokemon, so feeling Alec's insistence and willingness, he decided to lend him a hand, so who decided to say:

"I didn't expect Unova's champion to be your adoptive father, also if I'm not mistaken the liquid your pokemon egg is submerged in must be a rare potential amplifying liquid, so it shows Professor Juniper's trust in you, so given this, i will also trust you to take excellent care of the pokemon you choose."

Hearing this, Alec breathed a sigh of relief, although perhaps he was able to get Professor Kukui's help without having to tell him all this, Alec didn't want to miss any opportunity, so he decided to use this method to convince him.

"It seems that he caught on to my intentions, luckily for me, it seems that they didn't bother him, *sigh*, with his help, although I may not necessarily be able to locate and obtain any Alolan pokemon, I will have access to some."

Weighing in this way, Alec asked him about some pokemon that he already had in mind, as well as his preference for pokemon eggs while Professor Kukui listened carefully.

After Abel told him about his ideal pokemon, Professor Kukui gave him a meaningful look as he touched his chin with one hand.

"I see you did your homework researching the pokemon in this region Alec, though I thought you'd mention Janmo-o as well."

Hearing the name of Alola's pseudo-legendary pokemon, Alec smiled helplessly at Professor Kukui saying:

"Of course, I know the strength of a pseudo-legendary dragon pokemon like Jangmo-o, but for now, keeping another dragon pokemon is already beyond my current limit, so I didn't mention it."

Hearing this, Professor Kukui nodded to himself, acknowledging Alec's words.

"Looks like I can rest easy, Alec seems to care a lot about his pokemon, and even knows his own limits, plus with the support of the former Unova champion, I have no doubt what a great trainer he will become."

Thinking so, Professor Kukui decided to tell Alec:

"Well then, I have heard about your requests, and I must tell you that you are quite lucky, due to the influence of the other pokemon leagues, Alola has also started to encourage new children to take the "island tour", our traditional way of what for you is to get the 8 gym medals, so the need for new pokemon is always high, so we started to breed some pokemon, and among some of the ones you ask me for, are these.

So far, the professor paused for a moment reflecting before saying:

"Now that I remember, the Aether foundation also takes care of protecting abandoned, wild or injured pokemon and even occasionally get pokemon eggs, so maybe you can stop by too."

Hearing the first, Alec looked happy, it seemed that finding a suitable pokemon for him would not be that difficult, until he heard the name of the Aether foundation, which unconsciously made him frown while thinking.

"Aether Foundation huh, from what I know from games and anime, Lusamine is the president, she also has a pretty sick obsession with ultra beast, especially Nihilego, but here comes a problem, in this world, will it be Lusamine? from the games or the anime? Also, as far as I know, the relationship between the pokemon leagues and the Aether foundation is not the best."

As far as Alec knew, it was due to the appearance of the Aether foundation and the rise of the Skull team, negotiations and relations with Alola cooled off, while the discovery of Galar caused many researchers to leave Alola aside, worsening this relationship.

"Well, that is the information of public knowledge, as for the ideas that the upper echelons of the different leagues really have, I have no idea."

Thinking this far, Alec hoped he could find a pokemon egg of some pokemon he was interested in, or find a pokemon with good potential and willing to follow him.

"It seems easy enough since my affinity for pokemon is quite high, but I think it is precisely because it is so high that pokemon transmit their true emotions to me that is what makes it hard for me and them to truly follow me. "

Alec didn't worry that his future dragon pokemon didn't like combat, since fighting and getting stronger was in the blood of all dragon-type pokemon, just look at Bagon, the one whose eagerness to fly made him even jump off cliffs .

The problem was that until now, Alec had met many pokemon due to his work as Professor Aurea's assistant, but, although he got along with all of them, none in particular decided to follow him, and the clearest and most depressing example was that of his little dizzy.

"I hope that situation changes with Alolan pokemon."

Sighing inwardly, Alec and Professor Kukui decided that they would visit Alola's special nursery, hoping that Alec would find a good mate, but if they still didn't find one after that, they would go visit the Aether Foundation.

Having decided this, they both had a quick dinner before Professor Kukui shows him the place where Alec would sleep today.

"Well Alec, I usually don't have visitors, besides your appearance was quite sudden, so the only place I have available is the roof where I'm preparing a small room."

When he heard this, Alec had a feeling, and it was only when he saw the place the professor showed him that he recognized where he would sleep for today.

"This is the rooftop where Lillie lived in the games."

Although somewhat surprised, Alec didn't think about it anymore, he thanked the professor for his hospitality and went up to the roof where he left the incubator aside and directed his gaze towards the rotomdex that was still following him closely.

"Tomorrow we will go to find an adventure partner for me, I really hope your help to search for different pokemon among which we are going to see, also, I hope you can keep an eye on the pokemon egg, let me know if there is any change in it."

Hearing this, the rotomdex flickered off the screen and fluttered around Alec, as if to indicate that she could fully trust him.

At this, Alec just smiled before going to bed and going to sleep, tomorrow would be quite a hectic day, so he needed to be fresh and lively.

The next morning, Professor Kukui, Alec, who was carrying his black backpack and the rotomdex, went out in the direction of the pokemon nursery, which was located in another island of Alola, the island of Akala.

Of course, prior to this, Alec had taken it upon himself to report this to Professor Aurea, who after speaking with Professor Kukui for a moment readily accepted her arrangement, so there was no further inconvenience.

Alola itself was made up of 4 islands that were close to each other, and Akala Island was the closest to Melemele, so it didn't take them long to get there using Professor Kukui's sailboat.

Exactly, the nursery was in the Paniola Ranch, an area of ​​Alola very similar to the farm where Alec lived in Floccesy town, so the atmosphere of the place brought back many memories.

Soon, they arrived at a rather special area of ​​the ranch, where there was a rustic-looking house, but quite large, it was here that the pokemon nursery was located.

The local breeders were surprised to see Professor Kukui, but they rushed to meet him and greeted him respectfully, apparently Professor Kukui was quite respected in the nursery.

Professor Kukui said a few words to the breeders before they nodded, then turned to Alec saying:

"Welcome to the Pokemon nursery, here we take care of raising different species of pokemon, and we even take in some homeless pokemon, please go ahead."

Thus, Alec wasted no more time, entering the pokemon nursery along with the rotomdex, who, from her erratic movements, seemed more excited than Alec.
