A/N: Takes in between the Meloetta Chapter.
"Come on teach, I'll just give the guys some breather before the funeral. We still have a few days before going back to Kalos." Alexander pleaded to his former boss and teacher. Alexander had a brilliant plan to have team building exercise for his group with no apparent reason. "I promise I'll report our activites in time, trust me."
Ben Spruce, or Professor Ben thought hard about the boy's idea until he agreed. "Well I suppose it can help for your team, just promise me you won't keep the schedule tight." Alexander one of the biggest smiles of his life and thanked the professor. "Say hi to your father for me for me, its been long since we've last seen each other."
"You can can count on me Spruce!"
"I TOLD YOU STOP CALLING ME THAT!"
"Come on Treetop!"
"I swear to Arceus I'll smack your brains like last time."
"Fine..." as Alexander went out of the office to break the news to his team. Ben just stared at the picture of his days as a graduate student, with a five year old Alexander, a woman in her early thirties, a young girl with blonde hair, and his former mentor Mr. Williams, wearing a bespokes suit. "I still remember this picture like it was yesterday." As he laughed at the times he tried to keep the boy out of trouble
Meanwhile, Alexander broke the news to Megan. "Good news Megs! We've got ourselves two days of team building exercises!"
"You? Lead team building? Your kidding." Megan just said with an antagonizing tone. "Come on Megs, we need this. Especially with Kell and Rita." He said and continued, "I feel something is blocking their typical friendship levels."
"Since when did you became concered? All I know is that you sleep or read that damned book all the time."
"I have reasons okay? We'll just take a day in Undella to remove those extra stress we've been penting up. The funeral is kinda making this visit more depressing. Plus with that weird kid who attacked some of the guys, we really need a vacation." as he explained with a very convincing tone.
"Okay fine, but... I have big concerns with this least stupid plan of yours."
And Alexander raised his eyebrows. "Like?" He asked.
"Well, did you even planned it?" Even though she knew Alexander can do it properly, she doesn't trust him doing this kind of work. He just laughed and said, "I've been planning this at the start of the Preparations Camp. Looks like someone wasn't paying attention." And Megan ticked off and threw stuff at Alexander, "SHUT UP YOU!" While the boy just laughed and ran around the campus.
After a few moments, he bumped at Rita, seeing her he said, "Hey Rita!"
"Oh hey Alex..."
"What seems to be the problem my dear lass?" He was really concerned with Rita right now. The Rita he knows always do the typical dark humour he loves and laughs at. But Rita just dodged the question and ran. "Rita wait!" As he followed the girl. 'Come on Rita, don't make my job that hard.' Alexander kept on chasing Rita until he lost sight of her. Feeling disappointed, he just shouted and threw a empty can in the wall. "WHY DOES EVERYONE FEELS SO EDGY AND WEIRD!" And he gave up from the chase and just sat down in a nearby bench.
'I just wish everything will go out fine. I'm very worried with Rita, even Kell is acting weird. Man this is stupid.' As he picked up his Pokégear and called Megan about the situation. "Hey Megan... Yeah Yeah... I guess we'll postpone our little thing... Yeah, break the bad news for Ben... Well I met Rita a few minutes ago... Well thanks anyway." as he cutted off the call and went back to the dorms.
As he was walking back, he bumped to the last person he just wanted to see.
"Alex?"
"Hey Myska."
