CHAPTER - 41 { Home }
Pallet Town___
Kota sat down comfortably on the sofa and looked at the people in the living room.
Professor Oak, Gary, Ash, Delia, Misty, Brock, Mr. Mime and Kota, we're together.
Mr. Mime, a psychic/fairy type pokemon. It is known as the Barrier Pokemon.
It was Ash and Gary' birthdays, and today was the birthday party.
All the decorations were completed, the foods were ready on the dining table.
A single big cake was placed on a table in the living room. Everyone except Kota surrounded it.
"Ash and Gary, hurry and make a wish!, " Delia was excited as she clapped her hands impatiently.
"But why do we have to share the same cake?, " Gary voiced with a dissatisfied mood and looked at Professor Oak.
"It was Kota's idea, " Said Professor Oak, pointing his finger at Kota on the sofa.
"Why big brother?, " Asked Gary, he stared at Kota as his eyes completely fixed.
"I forgot to bring two cakes, " Replied Kota, he looked at Gary with a sorry face.
"I am hungry! Ash make a wish fast!, " Misty held her stomach and looked at Ash.
"Okay. Okay, " Both Ash and Gary made their wishes and cut the big cake.
*Clap!*
"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday Ash and Gary! Happy Birthday to you!, " Everyone clapped their hands and smiled at the two.
On the side, Kota pulled two things from below. One was nicely packed while the other was not.
"Gift time!, " Delia pushed a gift to both Ash and Gary while showing her eagerness.
Others also took out their gifts and handed them to Ash and Gary.
"Gary, this is for you, " Kota gave the nicely packed gift to Gary while turning to look at Ash.
"And this for you, Ash, " The unpacked gift was given to Ash which made his eyes sparkle.
"A brand new watch from S.T.A.R.S.!, " Exclaimed Ash, he held the watch box and lifted it up in the air.
"Isn't that the limited edition S.T.A.R.S watch!, " Misty stared at the black coloured watch with her wide open eyes.
"Moon Stone and Fire Stone!, " Gary opened his gift given by Kota and was stunned.
It was extremely rare to find an evolution stone and even harder to get one.
No matter how rich you are, unless you have luck, you can't find a single evolution stone.
"Kota, where did you get these from? Isn't Fire Stone very hard to find and costly?, " Asked Professor Oak as he inspected the two stones and confirmed that they were real.
"I am very lucky, " Kota smiled at Professor Oak and walked to the dining room.
"As for why I didn't give one to Ash. Because he wouldn't use one in the first place and it will be only a waste, " Said Kota, everyone stared at his back with unknown emotions.
"Mr. Mime?"
Mr. Mime looked at everyone and shook his head, he then picked up a broom to clean the living room.

Walking alone at night, Kota felt the fresh air in Pallet Town.
"It sure is pleasant, " Kota squatted down and plucked a flower from the roadside.
"Gengar!"
Slowly coming up from the soil, Gengar showed his grinning face to Kota.
"Let's go home, " Kota had his lips curled up in a small smile while walking.
Soon, Kota and Gengar came in front of a huge mansion that looked luxurious.
The thing to note is that the gate was closed and no one seemed to be around.
"Gengar!"
Gengar floated past the locked gate and went inside the mansion.
"Turn the lights on!, " Kota said to Gengar, while he pulled out some keys from his pocket.
*Clank*
The gate didn't make a metallic noise but a smooth sound.
The lawn had tall grass and the middle path was made of coloured bricks.
All the lights in the mansion were turned on by Gengar when Kota reached the entrance door.
"Gengar!"
Gengar came down and laid his body on the sofa as he picked up the huge tv remote.
In the living room, there were many beautiful paintings and expensive decorations.
"GeGeGeGe!"
Gengar laughed while holding his stomach, it was the comedy show screening on the tv.
"Isn't there any other show you watch? News? Sports? Movies?, " Asked Kota, he shook his head and left Gengar in the living room.
Going up the stairs, Kota reached the first floor and went inside a room at the end of the left corridor.
It was the bathroom. Taking off his clothes, Kota took a warm bath to fresh himself after the party.
"What should I do until the Indigo League?, " Said Kota, he was inside the bathtub with neck water.

Living room___
Sitting beside Gengar, Kota opened his social media account.
MediaWorld, the biggest social media platform in the world.
There were more than two billion people on this platform and about five thousand marked accounts.
[@Skotadi_Zaiaku]
[Followers- 23k]
[Following- 16]
On his account, there are more than twenty thousand followers.
Kota created this social media account because of the demands of Ferry and Mera.
They urged him to open an account and follow them.
And one of the following was his own fan club with more than ten thousand followers.
"I could never achieve this in my past life, " Muttered Kota, he scrolled down the home page.
"Gengar?"
Gengar looked at Kota in confusion, but then the jokes from the comedy show caught his attention again.
"Is it already starting?, " Kota looked at one of the posts by a very famous professor in the world.

[Post- There might be a next evolution of a fully evolved pokemon. What's missing is that there is no way to find it until a second energy source]
Kota read the message and understood that the Mega Stone research was half completed.
As for how they found that there is a next evolution without a Key Stone, Kota doesn't know it.
"Idiot! Don't dirty the sofa!, " Shouted Kota, Gengar had his tears fall on the dry sofa making it wet.
"If you can't even handle a joke then why do you watch a comedy show!, " Kota pushed Gengar off the sofa and took out the sofa sheets.
