'I see. I lost, huh. My first battle here….' Sujal thought as he ran across the road carrying his injured pokemon towards the pokemon center.
And this was being thoroughly observed by a bystander as he too followed him all the way towards the pokemon center.
Ding!
"Hello there, welcome to the pokemon center! How can I help you? Ara! It's Sujal-kun. So you finally became a trainer?" She said as she took the injured Froakie to treat him in the bed.
As the chansey took him inside to tend his wounds.
"Yes. Is it that weird?" Sujal said as he pondered, 'Of course it is weird considering how weak, pathetic, and lazy I was back in my days.'
"No, not at all. Also considering the opponent Froakie just fought it was decided in two moves. Was it a double kick?" She asked changing the subject naturally seeing the complicated face of the protagonist.
"Yes. It was my big sis's double kick." He said with a smile.
"I stuck around for a few moves. Amazing right?" Sujal said with a smile. A little cold one at that. For the first time she couldn't tell what this obvious looking kid was thinking at all.
"I-I see. That's indeed an amazing feat Sujal-kun. Anyways about Froakie, you just have to pay 300 poke credits." She said quickly returning to her professional mode.
'Wait what? Poke credits? Isn't this supposed to be free?' Sujal now was confused about all the games he played.
"Actually, only after you register for the Aethelean league as a legitimate pokemon trainer can you enjoy our free service which is paid by the pokemon league." Nurse joy then explained to him to which Sujal nodded.
After around twenty minutes. 1st pov.
Ding!
"The pokemon of the pokemon trainer Froakie has been completely healed. Please visit the main lobby to receive your pokemon. And thanks for visiting."
Came the announcement from the speaker at the he wall.
'Oh Froakie is healed. Hope his other aspect of health is fine.' Sujal thought worried that Froakie might be just overwhelmed by it's loss or something.
"Hope you didn't waited long Sujal-kun. Here is your Froakie all good to go. Also by digital or physical payment?" She said as she handed me over my Froakie and asked.
"Digital please." I said as I handed over the device I had and scanned the Qr code. Which transfered the poke credits from mine to Pokemon centers account.
"Okay thanks for visiting and have a nice day." Nurse joy said with a bright smile sending me off.
To which I nodded and grabbed my Pokéball and went outside the Pokemon center.
'Well well. I should visit my sis at the pokemon lab. But just where it is? Oh! I think I had the town map with me.' I thought as I stopped playing with my Froakie's Pokéball.
And was about to fetch the town map then suddenly I heard a familiar voice from my back.
She was someone I indeed met in my previous life. But I just couldn't catch on just who was she? Maybe one of those 363736 good online friends I made, in discord and anime groups at messenger.
"Oh. Thanks for responding. Um this is Sujal-kun right? Your battle earlier was really really good." She said to me. But wait do I know her?
Also miss you definitely know me why confirm it's me or not me.
"Got me. You are actually not here to flatter me are you? Well see ya!" I said waving a salute as I walked away. Afterall I couldn't be afford to be late for my pokedex entry, Atheleean league registration which is supposed to be Asian. And all. Also I might get some Pokéballs too. Hehe.
Anyway ignoring aside the npc girl I just met let's head on to the lab.
After analysing the map, walking walking and asking directions I finally reached the pokemon lab.
And boy.
I really didn't expect somebody to just handcuff me.
"You are underarrest for a civilian kidnapping case. Mr. Sujal." An officer with a growlithe said with a really suspicious grin as I was arrested.
"Officer, do you have a warrant? No even proof that I did something wrong…." I said looking at him with nothing but anger and a cold gaze.
Then he just glared at growlithe.
And it just tackled me all the way to the street.
"For now an suspect must keep their mouth shut." That motherfucker just spouted some nonsense. I will definitely pay back this debt you son of a–
Before I could curse all I saw was another tackle.
3rd pov.
"Well well. Your brother sure is a bad boy, Miss Geeta. You saw how coldly he was looking at me. I just had to discipline him somehow, you know. Now I hope you understand your position." The police officer who just locked up Sujal said to her with some few partying words.
"If I were you. I just wouldn't put such a meeting with the Alexon group on hold for even one day longer…. Oh by the way Mr. Alexon himself tasked me…" He paused at that for some reason.
"So just as I expected you were the one who–" Before Geeta could say anything he cut him.
"My my. I just wanted to convey that Mr. Alexon wishes to add you as his fourth wife, that's all. Well then let's meet at the court or the wedding ceremony."
"You bastard, this is pure threat." She couldn't help but curse out those words.
To which the officer just glanced at her and said, "Well all I meant was if there's someone who accused him of course all of us here will meet at the "happy" wedding ceremony. That's it."
"Tch." Geeta couldn't help but curse inwardly.
'Hahaha! I must say the new champion is so vulnerable in front of the likes of Mr. Alexon. But I must say Mr. Alexon sure chose the perfect girl for both connections and certain purposes.' The officer thought as he looked lecherously at Geeta's body.
To which Geeta couldn't help but frown very deeply.
Right now instead of herself basically being used in the name of marriage she was more worried about her younger brother. Who was completely innocent.
"I will do it…"
She couldn't help but mutter helplessly.
At the jail.
"Aa. Aargh…"
"Now I remembered. That girl who called out to me…. She was her…. Kitsune San…"
'Huh!' He then came back to his senses.
'Did I just ghost my crush like it was nothing? And there was a possibility that she knew me? Back then. Bruh! At 19 I didn't even see her face back then.'
'But first now that I am in jail for some deep unknown reasons. There is only one thing to check. If I have my pokemon.' He thought.
Then he, still pretending to be asleep, checked his pocket.
"And thank Arceus, I have my Froakie with me." I muttered.
