Old companion

It was the month of March, almost three months have passed since Aoki had left his house. Currently, he was sitting at the lunch table at Misty's house.

He was requested by David to help in cooking as he heard from Misty that Aoki was a very good cook..

Same as always everyone had the same reaction "how can you make something too tasty ".

Another thing that shocked everyone was that Misty was helping Aoki with cooking.

'What did this guy do to our sister! where did our tomboy sister go who was impatient and stayed a mile away from the kitchen? "was the reaction of Misty's sisters.

But Zenith and David had different reactions. Zenith had a broad smile while David had tears in his eyes.

"It's about time you realized David "Zenith said

"What is your full name Aoki? " David asked wiping off his tears.

"Aoki Gunhildr. Why ?"

"By chance are you son of Aoba Gunhildr? "

"Yes, do you know my father? " asked Aoki

He began laughing loudly hearing that.

Misty and her sister were surprised to see him laugh so freely.

"So I guessed correctly, I can't forget this taste. This dish was invented by your father, right? " asked David

" Yes, It was originally my father's recipe but I made some changes to enhance the taste, " said Aoki

"Your father Aoba and I were once best friends.

Both of us were born in a small town and started our journey together. I wished to be a gym leader whereas he wanted to be a top-class chef.

We traveled the entire Kanto region before deciding to settle down. "

Aoki was surprised to hear this as his parents never mentioned this.

"I became good friends with your mother when she started her journey.

Your parents, I, my husband, and Misty's biological mother Akina traveled almost the entire Kanto region before settling down. " said Zenith

David continued " But everything changed when my second wife Akina died during Misty's birth.

I cut all my connections with the outside world and focused my entire attention on grooming my four daughters with Zenith. When I tried to connect to some of my friends I realized that I couldn't contact some of my friends anymore. "

Aoki knew that his parents never used their last name in anything not even in name of the restaurant. He had heard that they opened the restaurant shortly after Aoki's birth.

Misty and her sisters listened carefully as the dad never mentioned his early life very much.

"You should try to talk to him uncle, I think he misses you too, " said Aoki handing David his father's private number.

David after completing his food dialed the number immediately

Aoba ( Aoki's father ): Hello! who is this?

David: Do you recognize my voice

Aoba: this voice …is that you David? "

David: it's been a while …old friend.

Aoki and the others left David to talk alone. Daisy handed Aoki the T.M for water pulse which he taught Nidoran. The T.M of Rock tomb obtained from Brock was also taught to Nidoran.

Earlier Charmander used to lose against Weepinbell and Pidgeotoo in a fight but after evolving to Chameleon, he tied against Piegeotto and won against Weepinbell.

Charmeleon: haha I got my revenge. I told you I will teach you two a lesson for bullying me when I was young.

Weepinbell: Don't be arrogant you just won by luck, I will win next time

Pidgeotto: it was a draw so you didn't win.

Charmeleon: You two are just jealous that I became stronger.

Weepinbell and Pidgeotto wanted to answer back but all three of them were pressed to the ground with gravity.

Clefairy: I think I mentioned you three not to quarrel.

"Sorry, It won't happen again, " said the three pokemon and started laughing.

In spite of being the youngest addition to Aoki's team, Clefairy had secured her position as the core of the team with her caring and strict nature.

After stopping the quarrel she jumped and sat on Aoki's lap asking for cuddles.

Weepinbell, Pidgeotto, and Charmeleon never failed to get amazed by the speed at which the temperament of Clefairy changed.

One moment she was like a devil who would destroy anyone who resister her wishes and the next moment became a cute being demanding cuddles from their master.

Three of them were good friends and quarreled sometimes but in the end solved the matter by laughing it out.

Nidoran began laughing but then he remembered that he was still the weakest member of the squad without Aoki's command which erased his smile.

Aoki let his Pokemon play around till the night and called them back after giving everyone a good massage.

In David's room, Aoki and David were talking to each other.

David: "Sorry for behaving rudely at the start. I am a little overprotective of my daughters. When I heard that she made a boyfriend, I had to make sure that she was not being taken advantage of. "

Aoki: "It's okay, I understand your concern "

David: "How long are you planning to stay in Cerulean City? "

Aoki: "I will stay for 10 days as I have some business with Professor Oak "

David: "That's good I didn't know you had a connection with Professor Oak too. You can ask me if you need any help "

Aoki: "There was one matter I needed help with, can you tell me the way to the black market "

David: "Why do you want to go to the black market? You are inexperienced to go there. "

Aoki: "I wish to buy a poison orb of a Vileploom and some T.Ms . It's not available in the market so I thought of trying my luck in the black market. "

A poison orb is made by compressing all the poison from the corpse of a dead Pokemon.

David: " You don't have to go there. I will buy that for you from the black market, just give me 3 days.

Don't worry about the cost. It's the least I can do for my friend's son. Moreover, I can see that Misty is very happy being with you. "

In another room, Misty and Zenith were having a discussion

"I didn't expect you to get the most handsome guy I had ever seen as your boyfriend. Well my Misty is cute after all, how can his heart not beat for you " Zenith said combing Misty's hair.

"So. how far did you two go? " Zenith asked

"Kiss and some touching "Misty said without hesitation.

"How was he? "

"Never felt something like that before " Misty admitted

"His father was a huge playboy like your father at their prime but changed later on.

While Aoba was only interested in cooking while keeping Pokemons for protection, Aoki is different.

Over the years I have seen many trainers and elite trainers and believe me boy has potential to reach elite four with his skills" said Zenith

"So when are you adding a member to his harem? After doing your deed with him? " said Zenith playfully

"Mom! "

"What! I know about you and your fetishes more than you know yourself. Moreover, your father and mother both were perverts, especially your mother was the biggest pervert I had ever seen. So did you talk to him? "

"He said it was okay. I was going to decide if the girl is worth it or not. "

"Aww..aready made him your territory huh., It's okay as long as he loves you. Don't let him fall in love with too many women okay. I don't have to tell you the difference between love and lust do I? "

"Sigh, sometimes I wonder if a mother should talk such things so her daughter "

"~Ara~ what's wrong with that. You enjoy these talks with me right?

You only said that you feel the most comfortable with me. Now that you have someone else you will not forget mommy right ?"

"Of course not. How can I forget you"

"That's good then"
