CHAPTER 21: TEACHER AND POKEMON CENTER

Thinking this far, Alec decided to say:

"I don't have a problem being a temporary teacher at the school, but since I'm here in Alola, I was wondering if I could go on some field trips with the students, after all, nothing beats watching pokemon in their environment, though." obviously with the supervision of a trainer."

At first, when he heard that he agreed, Professor Samson smiled in agreement, but when he heard the rest, he was stunned for a moment as he pondered it over.

Professor Aurea didn't expect Alec to say something like that either, so she looked at him for a moment before sighing.

"This brat."

So, after a somewhat awkward silence, Professor Samuel turned his gaze from him to Alec saying:

"Although I understand what you want to do, at least the first week, it may not be the case, wait at least until the conference is over so that I or the professor Juniper can guarantee your safety in special cases."

Alec nodded acknowledging this, after all, he was asking just to test the waters, even he himself hadn't done field exploring with Professor Aurea yet, plus even in an accident, he wouldn't have the means to defend himself, at least not until for his mareep to arrive.

"Now that I think about mareep, it's been 1 year since the last time I saw him, maybe he's about to evolve, luckily, his qualification fluid is already ready."

Although mareep decided to stay on the farm to take care of grandpa Tokuzo and Ellie, for Alec, it will always be his first trained pokemon, also mareep himself might not like fighting, but that doesn't mean he isn't strong and doesn't fight when necessary.

So, after Professor Samson gave him a few more guidelines about the topics to be covered and what he should teach as a teacher, Alec and Professor Aurea said goodbye to Professor Samson while Alec headed to the staff room and Professor Aurea He was going back to the apartment to prepare for the conference that afternoon.

After some recommendations and precautions that the professor Aurea gave Alec, he arrived at the teachers' room, where there was a group of 4 teachers, 3 men and 1 woman, who were surprised to see him.

Alec, before being mistaken for a new student, decided to speak first:

"Hello seniors, at the request of Professor Samson, I will be teaching classes during this month, so please bear with me."

Alec's words only made the teachers even more astonished, as they looked at each other, shortly after, it was the lady in her mid-twenties who smiled warmly at him and said:

"Sorry if we bothered you, we knew there would be a new temporary teacher for the class that Professor Samson was leading, but we didn't expect it to be you, but if you come to ask about the classroom, it's still early, Professor Samson's class is for the late."

Hearing this, Alec was surprised, as a helpless smile appeared on his face as he thought:

"Looks like I was so excited that I forgot classes are in the afternoon... well that gives me time to go to the pokemon center and make the call."

Thinking this far, Alec greeted and said goodbye to the rest of the teachers before leaving the school in the direction of the pokemon center.

Meanwhile, awkward smiles could be seen on the teachers' faces as they commented on Alec amongst themselves.

"Too young, I don't know what the director is thinking."

One of the teachers commented on this, causing the other to nod as he said:

"Can even a 10-year-old brat act as a teacher?"

Hearing this, the lady couldn't help but refute:

"Don't forget that, according to the laws of the league, the age of 10 is already considered an adult and they can already travel through the different regions."

Hearing this caused a disgusted look to appear on one of the teachers while the other was deep in thought.

Until now, all the teachers believed that Alec was 10 years old, which could not be blamed since with the size and temperament that he gave off, anyone would mistake him for that age.

It was at that time that the teacher he thought deeply commented after lightly sighing:

"I think classmates have forgotten that a new student was about to join Professor Samson's class."

Hearing this, both teachers had enlightened looks, then deep frowns.

"If her mother finds out that a 10-year-old boy is the one teaching her daughter, I don't know how she's going to take it."

"For my part, I think Professor Samson forgot that the new student was joining today."

As they discussed this, the teacher could only shake her head as she told them:

"Stop the 2, although it is true that it is quite surprising that a 10 year old boy was chosen by Professor Samson, it is precisely for this reason that we should not underestimate the boy, in addition, in the worst case, he is Professor Samson who would apologize to his mother, has nothing to do with us."

Hearing this, neither of the other 2 teachers said anything else as they went back to their usual work.

Meanwhile, Alec who was heading towards the pokemon center couldn't help but sneeze, wondering who was talking about him behind his back.

Thus, Alec arrived at the pokemon center without knowing that his decision to accept being a teacher could bring him great headaches.

The pokemon center was a fairly large building where the first floor was very similar to the distribution that was in the games, while the other floors functioned as rooms so that the trainers affiliated with the league who came to a city had a place to eat and eat. sleep.

But maybe due to the little influence of the league in Alola, the pokemon center here only had 2 floors, the first floor had the normal layout and the 2nd floor had some free rooms.

Alec didn't waste much time going to the area where the computers were and set out to make a video call to the farm.

Normally, he would be able to use his cell phone, but because rotom had made it unusable, along with him having quite an interest in the Alola pokemon center, he decided to come here.

Soon, the screen in front of Alec lit up and the image of his old home appeared in front of him filling him with nostalgia, but it was a scream that woke him up from the memories of him.

"Grandpa, grandpa, foolish Alec finally deigned to call us."

Hearing this voice, as well as the tone of the person with which he said that sentence, a vein in Alec's forehead wanted to burst, after all, although not often, he was in charge of calling or writing letters once a month.

Before Alec could argue, an older man's voice answered.

"Come on Ellie don't say that, did you forget the clothes he sent you for your birthday last time? You looked so happy when you received them..."

"!GRANDPA!"

"Hahaha, okay, I won't bother you anymore, on the other hand, Alec, I see you've grown a lot, how are your studies with Professor Juniper going?"

On the screen in front of Alec, appeared the image of a grandfather dressed in farm clothes and a girl with a ponytail hairstyle to the side that highlighted her pink hair, who by her face seemed somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing them both made a big smile appear on Alec's face, who didn't take long to answer:

"Grandpa, Ellie, it's nice to see you again, I had planned to visit you, but a mishap arose and in the end I ended up coming to Alola together with Professor Aurea."

Ellie was about to scold him when she heard that she was in Alola, which made her eyes widen before she started bombarding Alec with questions.

"Ehhh, are you in Alola? The strange paradise island region? It can't be, what's it like? Is the weather quite nice as they say?"

Being bombarded with so many questions, Alec didn't know how to respond, but luckily for him, Grandpa Tokuzo saved him in time.

"Ellie, you're overwhelming Alec, he'll tell us about his trip when he comes back, plus I'm sure he'll bring back some memories, for now, there must be some reason why you called right now, right Alec?"

Hearing this, Alec was a little embarrassed, but he didn't deny this and nodded seriously.

Ellie seeing this stopped her questions and pouted, but the look on her face said that she expected a memory from Alec.

Alec wasted no more asking:

"How's little mareep?"
