Pokemon - A Mystical Journey

His father said," He forget that in his work so cut him some slack."

" Indeed with how he is I am sure he even forgets current date in his journey. Except for month he won"t remember a thing.

It is common to forget the details out there and only knowing it on reaching a town

I remember when I was young, I spent two months out in forest thinking only one and half months pa.s.sed and when I returned I was told it is two months.

Boy was your mother angry at me that day Arthur. Arceus bless her soul." He reminded of his past and said the last sentence softly in remembrance of his pa.s.sed away wife.

Seeing this Arthur changed the topic by saying," Alex you really don"t remember what day is today?"

" No dad I don"t have a clue just say it" He said agitated. He arrived home in hurry full of strange thoughts about what happened and now his family was playing guessing game with him.

" Alex dear today is your..." His mother trailed

Alex, Haunter and Espeon edged forward to.hear what special day it was...

" Your birthday . Happy birthday" *5

" What" Alex shouted," You all acted like that just for that. and here I was so afraid and all. You almost gave me. heart Attack."

Alex dismissal of his birthday and acting like this wasn"t appreciated by his mother and she put her hands on her hip and gave Alex a critical eye and said," Now listen here young man just because you think your birthday is nothing special doesn"t mean it isn"t to us.

This probably will be the last birthday you would celebrate with us. You will be out there at this time and who knows if you could reach home. And since you were just in pallet town so we thought you could fly over with Pidgeot.

We worked so hard just for your birthday surprise and even got Professor Oak to agree with us and look how you are behaving like a spoiled kid. I didn"t raise you like that, young man"

" But mom..."

" Hush.."

" But.."

" No more comments now join us to celebrate your birthday."

Alex looked around to see his father and grandpa avoiding his eyes and request for help. His siblings were giggling behind his mother"s back at him being scolded. He could also hear Haunter laughter in the shadows. And though Espeon didn"t outright laugh at him she too agreed with his mother.

And Alex helplessly followed his mother"s order.

" Fine."

Then she motioned him towards the dining table where a cake with candles was kept. He headed for it and his father lit the candles. "Now young man blow the candles and cut the cake your brother and sister are very eager to eat the cake " she said sternly

His siblings were looking intently at the cake as if waiting to jump at it. Alex thought," Today is my birthday and I am ordered like that. And none of them , looked at his grandpa and father," help me. The moment she spoke they just turned around and stood quietly . Cowards"

He glared at them for not helping him. They just smiled helplessly. No one wants to stand in front of an angry mother whether they be human or pokemons.

Alex blew the candle and cut the cake and rest Sang the birthday song for him . He first gave the first slice to his grandpa, then father and mother but just as he was giving it to his siblings he ate it himself saying," Do you really think I will let you go after you laughed at me."

" What I did not laugh , it was Clara she did"

" Nuuh it wasn"t me. it was you stupid Ben"

" it was you, stupid"

" you stupid"

And they started pus.h.i.+ng watch other and before it could escalate Alex intervenes and said," I know you both laughed and quickly apologize or else I will eat the entire cake on my own."

" Sorry Alex. We won"t laugh at you again." They said dropping their heads down.

He just looked at them severely for sometime and then said softly," Fine but next time I won"t let you go."

Alex gave them each of them a slice of cake to eat. They too took a slice to feed Alex but smashed it on his face and covered his face with it. His face was covered in cake and noone could ident.i.ty his face due to it.

They then both laughed at his face and said," Who made you act like that with us ?"

" Yeah how can you share us with cake"

" Next time we would smash whole cake on your Face."

They both acted high and mighty with Alex..

All the people and pokemons including Espeon were laughing at Alex and his cake covered face. Haunter laughed merrily and even came out of his shadows.

They were surprised by sudden arrival of haunter but his grandpa asked," Is this the ghastly you got as starter?"

" Yeah he is now Haunter "

" Good you raised him well"

Gwen then asked them to wait so she could bring food and Arthur followed to help.

Suddenly a knock came from the door and Alex head out to see what it was. He forgot about the cake and headed to the door.

When he opened the door, there were three people standing at the doorstep. They wore brown and green uniform and had pokemon league symbol sketch on their uniforms.

This was the uniform if Garrison unit of floral town.

Alex just arrived at his home and soon Garrison unit too arrived. What will happen next. Stay tuned.
