Chapter 44 - The Incident (Part 1)

IN ALEX'S ROOM

" Alex did you pack everything ?"

" Yes mom I packed everything."

" What about your pants, shirt , u_n_d_e_r_w_e_a_r, your first aid kit, ropes, staff, tent, disposable matches..".Alex mother went on and on listing the things he may need out there.

"Mom, I took everything. I cross checked it three times and you too checked it twice. Don't worry mom I will be fine." Alice tried to console his mother.

" What you don't even listen to me and now you don't even let me worry about you." She cried after that.

Seeing his mother like that he didn't know what to do. He is similar to most scientist having high IQ bit low EQ. He looked around to look if his father is nearby bit couldn't find him. He just stood like a statue not knowing what to do.

Then suddenly his mother took him into a tight hug. She was so tight that he seem to be having breathing problem. Seeing this she released him.

Then she just told him," No matter what you will listen to your grandpa. Will not run around alone. Always be aware of your surroundings. You will behave yourself .ok ."she said while still weeping softly.

Alex just said that he would randomly. Seeing that he wasn't taking her words seriously she turned angry and twisted his ears.

He cried in pain and quickly begged his mother," Sorry mom. Don't worry mom. I will listen to gramps. Can you please release my ears. Aaargh it hurts . AAA" He pleaded her.

Seeing him act like a kid made her smile softly because most of the time he is a m_a_t_u_r_e man in child form. She treasured his childish moments dearly.

"Now we should head down your grandpa is waiting with your father." She told him.

Hearing it he took his backpack and quickly ran downstairs ignoring his mother's loud" careful " and "don't run down the stairs".

DOWNSTAIRS

Here his father and grandfather awaited his arrival. " Grandpa what are you waiting for? let's get going."

Seeing him so energetic and impatient, both the elders laughed to which he cutely pouted.

" Where is your mother,Alex?" his father inquired.

" Mom. Isn't she with me?" he turned around and didn't see her then grumpily said," She always tell me to hurry up and look how slow she is."

As soon as he completed, his mother's voice rang," Are you complaining about me, Alex?"

Hearing her voice he froze then as a robot he turned his neck to see his mother smiling softly.

Seeing this smile sent their danger senses haywire and Alex quickly told," No mom. I was just telling dad is delaying it. Isn't that right mom."

Seeing him dragging in this , he grumbled," Why you brat ? " but seeing his wife he said," Aren't you going late? ' And he once again said all the precaution but Alex was too excited to listen.

Seeing this his grampa stood up from his seat and told Alex to follow him and told his son and daughter-in-law that he will take care if Alex.

Both his parents stood by the door to say goodbye and the two grandpa and grandson went out of the city to the forest surroundings the town.

Floral town is a small town and to prevent from the invasion of wild Pokemon is surrounded by barrier made of thick wood and platform at the periphery to monitor the area.

An intermediate level trainer always survey the area once every six hours and there are still some guard placed around the town.

But this doesn't make it any less danger in the wild. The elder Waterflower had just taken out the clans which he think are dangerous to the people around but there are still enough clans which may endanger the travelling adventurer and the Trainers.

Alex had roamed the town many times. He often went to the market with his mother, the power station with his father and also to the library. the only place didn't went in the town is the town gate.

After walking for an hour they reached the periphery of the town. His grandpa asked," Are you tired, Alex? We can go back and return when you have developed a better stamina."

but Alex wasn't tired and was very excited about his first world adventure.

Let's stay tuned to watch how his first world adventure goes?
