Pokemon The Wandering Scientist - Chapter 14 Chapter 14

“Sigh, I can’t believe he just decided to call Gardevoir Fi.” Alex, whom was walking down the street shook her head slightly, with Gengar, who was on top of her head nodding in agreement.

Recalling the situation, he said, quote on quote: “Phi is a good name, it resembles the golden ratio, one of nature’s most interesting and beautiful number.”

But then decided that Phi was a bit of a weird name, so changed into something that reads similar.

That aside, Alex wanted to walk around the place, she had never been to Kanto until two months ago.

“What’s this?” Alex held her hand out to grab a piece of paper.

“Beauty contest on Moe’s?” It was apparently a flier that is about an upcoming event.

Alex quickly glanced at her surroundings, noticing that a lot of locals were also interested in the event and started heading towards the location designated in the flier.

Intrigued by the event, Alex decided to give it a visit.

“Lets go, Gerald.”

“Gen!” Gengar appeared under Alex and quickly claimed a spot on her head, sitting on her and swinging his feet around.

“Gerald. Move.” Alex held her hand up, grabbing Gengar who was on her head.

“Gen!!!” Gengar quickly gave an over exaggerated shout with a terrified face, and held its paws over to Alex’s hand.

“Sigh…”

But instead of the pull Gengar anticipated, Alex just pressed on him a little, as if she was patting Gengar.

“Gen…”

“Let’s go.”

After twenty minutes, they finally arrived at the beach, where most people crowded up at the centre of the beach, next to a restaurant named Moe’s.

“Hey! Alex! Over here!”

Hearing her name, Alex quickly focused her sight on William, who was sitting on the last row of the chairs facing towards the stage.

William started waving his hand, and Gardevoir, who was sitting next to him did the same.

Alex raised an eye as she walked towards them.

“Why are you sat here already? The event starts at 14:00.” Alex sat next to William, even though the whole sitting section is basically empty.

“Why you ask? Its of course to enjoy my day off! You on the other hand, I thought you won’t be interested in these events?” William shrugged as he explained.

“I… was just curious of this event.” Alex thought for a bit before she answered.

“To be honest, I was just interested in how the back stage works, you see the curtains there?” William pointed at the red curtain.

“Turns out, they used two pulleys on the opposite side to open and close their curtains, with rings and hooks that keep the curtain connected to the rope!” William shared what he discovered with Alex excitedly, as if he was trying to show off a toy he just got.

“Really? That’s the reason you were here?” Alex mentally facepalmed herself, she at least thought William was here to watch the event.

“Huh? What else could I be doing here?” William answered with a question, as if Alex was asking some absurd questions.

“To watch the event, you know, the beauty contest that is coming up?”

“Huh? Oh, so that’s what the stage is set for?” William somehow didn’t knew why the stage was set in the first place.

“Gard… oh sorry, Fi, how long was William here?” Alex turned to Gardevoir.

“(2 hour ago, he was studying the stage set up the whole time.)”

“That… explains.”

“Wait, are you going to participate?” William suddenly asked, with the moments of Alex battling along him in St.Anne in mind. “You should participate, there’s a 95% likelyhood that you’ll win the competition.”

“(William, did you really think that Alex would be able to wear a bikini?)” Just as Gardevoir transmitted her thoughts, Alex’s whole body, especially the mask and beanie started glowing with a purple outline.

“Yeah… probably not. Quite a shame.”

“Do you really want me to participate? I might go if you want me to.” Alex thought for a moment before speaking.

“Nah, I’m kidding, but I’ll stay for the contest. Are you going to sit with me until it starts?”

“No, I’ll go around for a while, I’ll come back before the event starts. Oh, and Fi, can you come along with me for a while?”

“(Sure.)” Gardevoir said as she handed William a piece of purple crystal.

William took it naturally, as if he knew she would hand him the crystal. After that, he watched as they left, leaving him alone.

“Traitors.” William rolled his eyes, but was also smiling slightly.

Around 13:55, William saw Alex and Gardevoir return, with some food and drinks on their hands.

“Oh, thanks.” Noticing the extra drinks, he immediately realised they bought his portion as well.

The seats were almost fully occupied by this time. Its was just thanks to William helping to take over three seats that they had a place to sit.

“Need a hand?” William noticed how it hard it would be to move into the seats with food and drinks in their hands and people that filled in the seats next to them.

Alex nodded. And handed the things to William. After Alex, Gardevoir handed him the things on her hand.

They then got in by moving the chair out of the line and back into the line. Which was one of the privileges of sitting in the back.

But as they sat down, there was no sound, such as the creeking sound that usually appear when you sit on metallic chairs. Yet William didn’t notice it with all the people talking around him.

“Say, what did you guys do?” William grabbed a popcorn and asked.

“(We went to some nearby shops, there was some interesting stuff to look at.)” Gardevoir replied.

“Huh. So did you guys buy anything?”

“(Nope.)”

“Alex?” William turned to Alex, who was silent the whole time.

Alex shook her head.

“Hm…” William stared at her for a few seconds before turning back to Gardevoir. Also signalling a Gardevoir to establish psychic communication.

“(Fi, did something happen? Alex doesn’t feel right.)”

“(I don’t think so.)”

“(She’s eerily quiet, she’s like back to when she first met us.)”

“(Well… I’ll tell you later.)”

“(Alright…)” William turned away with a fishy feeling.

“Let us thank our first participant!” Just as William refocused on the stage he saw the Cerulean Gym Leader Misty on the stage, He must admit, Misty does look nice, but not so well fit to the theme of sexual appeal that the bikini tries to bring out. Her sisters might be better suited for that.

“We now welcome our fourth contestant!”

Just as Brock announced and the curtains opened, William spitted out his mouthful of drink.

“This is Alexandra, a trainer from the faraway region of Alola!”

On stage was Alex, who was wearing a bikini.

“What the actual fu…” Just as William was thinking, he quickly turned around to see the Alex who was supposed to be seated slowly turn purple and fade away.

He then noticed Gardevoir behind Alex, who was looking at him the whole time and giggling.

“(Enjoying? Look in front of you.)”

“Oh s*#%! Sorry! My bad.” He quickly noticed he accidentally spitted the soda onto the guy in front of him. But he quickly realised how the guy in front was still stunned at the beauty of Alex.

Alex, who was on the stage, seemed like she was recalling something, then started to catwalk the stage in a very mechanical way, obvious that she never tried it before.

“And to partner her is her pokemon! Gardevoir and Gengar!”

As Brock announced, Gengar and Gardevoir together pointed upwards, with a little psychic power and poison energy, black and white orbs started coming out, surrounding Alex, where they would crash into each other and annihilate each other, while the process creates more small orbs of the black and white. Until they the process got too fast that a light barrier formed and disappeared. By the time they finished, Alex was already besides Misty and had her eyesight straight at William.

“Wow! Marvellous light show by Gardevoir and Gengar!” Brocked shouted, along with the cheering of the crowds.

Alex slightly bowed a little as if she was a magician, and gave William a slight smile before she suddenly teleported away from the stage along with Gardevoir and Gengar.

“Now! Let us continue our show! Coming up is..”

William couldn’t sit anymore, he already stood up and headed to the backstage.
