Chapter 11 - Meeting Professor Oak
Serge woke early in the Viridian City Pokemon Center. Today was the day he finally got to meet Professor Oak. Serge had been waiting for this day since graduation. According to the original plan, Serge was supposed to stay with Professor Oak until his thirteenth birthday. But since the plan already fell through, Serge didn't know what he was doing.
He guessed that he should take Casey back home as soon as possible, not knowing how her parents would feel about her being gone for a week. At least they could ride in a vehicle instead of on foot. Kairyu just needed some rest from the constant battling. At least they have yet to lose. Serge couldn't afford to lose because his brother never lost until he became a Grand Master.
Serge threw on his clothes and grabbed his Pokegear. He walked up to the desk and said, "Hi, Joy. Is my Pokemon ready?"
"Yes. Here she is. I hope you don't have too much of a hard time before getting to Pallet Town."
"I hope I don't either." Serge turned around to leave with Casey close at his heels. "Hi are you doing this morning Casey?"
"I am a bit tired but that will change because we get to meet Professor Oak today."
"Yea I can't wait either."
They walked down towards Pallet Town along Route 1. They saw some pidgeys and some rattatas but none that were strong enough to handle Kairyu. Serge jumped over some hedges to try and get to Pallet soon.
Serge and Casey soon arrived at Pallet Town at noon. It was a small town except for one big building on a hill. That building was Professor Oak's lab.
"Wow. His lab is bigger than I imagined," said Casey as they were walking up the hill.
"I know. I guess most of this land that we are walking on is a Pokemon reserve."
"Yea I read it in Pokemon Weekly. On the reserve is every Pokemon that the trainers don't carry as well as a charmander, bulbasaur, and squirtle farms. On those farms he raises the starters for the next set of trainers."
"Geez Casey. You are starting to sound like an encyclopedia. Maybe you should get out more."
Serge and Casey walked towards the big double-doors.
"Does he have a big enough doors?" asked Serge.
"Yea I know. Those doors are huge," replied Casey. "Do you want to knock or do you want to just walk in?"
"I think I will knock. Who knows? A place like this might come with booby traps."
Serge walked up and knocked upon the doors. No one answered. Serge looked at Casey quizzically. "Do you think that he is home?"
"I don't know. Try again."
Serge knocked again, but this time a voice came from the right of him.
"Yes. Who are you and what do you want?"
"It's me, Serge. Lance sent me here."
"Oh yes. Serge, come right in."
Serge and Casey walked into the building and saw the vastness of his lab. The lab was huge compared to most buildings that Serge had been in. He walked around looking at all the assistants busy at their work. He didn't even see Professor Oak. Serge walked up to one of Oak's assistants and asked, "Can you tell me where Professor Oak is?"
"Oh yea he is in the back in the refuge area. We are having trouble taming one of the baby charmanders. He is such a troublesome one too. Yesterday he started a fire in the feeding area."
Serge walked towards the back of the lab and out the back door. Casey followed closely. Professor Oak was running around with his lab coat on fire. Casey acted quickly and ran inside to grab the fire extinguisher. She came running out and sprayed the fire on the coat.
"Wow, thanks. That charmander is causing trouble again. I don't think that I can give that one to any of the new trainers. They probably couldn't handle it. Oh by the way who are you?"
"Oh my name is Casey. I am one of your biggest fans. I loved the show you have on the radio. It is so informative. Oh before I forget, that boy over there is Serge."
"Good to meet you, Professor. I heard so much about you."
"Good to meet you too, Serge. How is Lance? I haven't spoken to him since he called about you."
"Yea he is good or at least I think so. He might be a little dejected after losing to both Gary and Ash within the same week. He doesn't take losing real well."
"Well how about we go inside and grab a couple of coffee and catch up," replied Oak.
They walked inside and sat down and talked about things for a long time before Oak mentioned staying overnight. Serge and Casey got up and Oak showed them their room. Serge went and started to get ready to sleep while Casey talked to Oak about other things of Pokemon.
thought Serge. Serge closed his eyes and then went into deep sleep.
