Ch 3 Work

Professor Oak and Jack walked into Oaks laboratory. "Gary you here there is someone I want you to meet" Oak said as he closed the door.

Gary came running over and stopped as his jaw dropped seeing Jack. Jack gave a smirk "Hi Gary nice to meet you Im Jack."

Gary a little frustrated turns to Oak "Grandpa what is Jack doing here."

"Oh he is my new assistant and will be living here for about a year." Oak explains.

"It's going to be nice living with you." Jack says. As Froakie let's out a "Froakieee"

Gary was upset then he saw Jacks Pokémon again and got over it. Oak starts to give Jack a tour of his facilities. There is his lab the bedrooms for his family, the assistant bedroom which is in the lab on the second floor and the outside area for Pokémon. "So what do you think" Oak asks Jack.

"This place is amazing professor. I can't wait to learn while helping you." Jack says as he notices someone walk in.

"Oh Hi I'm Daisy professor Oaks granddaughter. Who are you?" Daisy said as she walk towards the two.

"Oh Hi I'm Jack Soul nice to meet you." He said this while staring at her eyes that were an emerald green. Jack thought she was really cute.

Daisy has a bit of a blush on her face because of Jack and how handsome he was. "Nice to meet why are you here?"

Jack explained that he is going to be helping the professor for a year and then go on his journey. Oak then showed Jack to his room. As Jack couldn't help but think that he wants to talk to her more. Jack looked at his room it was nice it had a bookcase oh Pokémon from breeding to simple day to day care of Pokémon. He had a desk with a chair where he could study and take notes. He also had a TV. Jack was happy about this as he could watch more battles. He then had a nice bed that was made for him. Jack looked at Froakie and was happy with how things were going. "Well Froakie let's work hard for a year and become the strongest." Froakie let out a loud "froakieee" while jumping around. Since it was late Jack headed to bed as it was getting late.

Jack woke up the next morning with Froakie on his shoulder they headed to the lab. He saw Professor Oak with a cup of coffee and asked if he could have some. Oak said "of course".

Oak then continued "So here is the plan so let me know if you think it is fair. You work as my assistant for a year and you don't have to pay for anything. Since you are working for me you can stay here and the money I give you can be for your weekly food and other necessities."

Jack hearing this offer was very happy. "Yeah that would be great. I enjoy learning more about Pokémon as well as interacting with them as well so I'm super excited."

Oak smiled "Good good well I can certainly use the help." He then laughed as they continued on with their day.

"So Jack where did you get that Pokémon?" Oak asked.

Jack already thought of a story to tell Oak he didn't want to lie to him but felt it was necessary. "Well you see Professor I woke up under a tree forgetting most of my memories with only this Froakie here with me. Also from what I understand Froakie lost its memories as well. We both only recognized that we had a strong connection and that was it. (To which Froakie nodded.) The only thing I seem to remember is my name and that I have no family as my parents died years ago."

Hearing this Oak felt sorry for the young man in front of him. "Well I can tell from your Froakie that it's possible Professor Sycamore might know you since that is usually a starter Pokémon that he gives people. But he has been rather busy with his new research on evolution. Well we can always talk more about it later."

Jack gave a nod and they continued on with their day.

As Professor Oak and Jack were working outside with the Pokémon. They both heard a pair of two kids yelling. Oak then said "Well looks like your about to meet one of my grandsons friends." As they started to head over to the noise.

When they arrived they saw Gary yelling at a kid with spiky hair. Jack knowing who the kid was mentally sighed. As Froakie was still on his shoulder the kids stopped yelling and looked at the Pokémon.

Jacks life for awhile was a lot of fun he would wake up early and take care of the Pokémon. The boy who was obviously Ash tried to reach up and touch Froakie. Doing this Froakie used bubble at his face. Jack then said "You know kid you should ask to touch peoples Pokémon."

Ash looked at Jack and said "Sorry your Pokémon just looked so cool." Ash said with stars in his eyes.

"Well just think before you act next time alright." Jack said with a sigh. After that Jack left as he didn't want to deal with the kids anymore. Gary would later tell Ash that is Jack a new assistant of the professor.

A couple months went by and Jack was happy with his life right now. In the morning and during the day he would help take care of the Pokémon sometimes with Daisy and too his surprise Gary started to grow on him a bit. Then at night he would study the books that he had. Then whenever he had free time he would train Froakie and watch battles on TV. Jack also found out if he made Pokéfood sweet fro Froakie he would like it more.

Then one day it was raining hard and Jack decided to let Froakie go outside and play in the pond as he loved the rain. Jack and Oak were talking and relaxing discussing different ways to take care and raise Pokémon. Then all of a sudden Froakie came rushing back in. Seeing the worry on Froakies face he knew something was wrong.

"Is something wrong Froakie?" Jack asked quickly Froakie nodded and gestures his hand for Jack to follow him.
