Here we are switching up the POV once again; this one is from Professor Oak. Thanks to everyone for the reviews last chapter, we reached a new high!
Disclaimer: I wish I had a Master Ball, maybe then I could trade Satoshi for the Pokemon series, however as it stands I am not in possession of either of these things, sadness…
Professor Oak figured out pretty quickly that the longer Ash was on his journey, the more frequently he called to check up on his pokemon. They would only talk for a few minutes, usually about whichever pokemon Ash was inquiring about on that certain day.
"Is Muk eating his food again?"
"Has Krabby mastered his bubblebeam yet?"
"How are my Tauros doing?"
Oak always answers the young trainer's eager questions. Then, when the conversation starts to lull he waits patiently for the five words that always seem to slip through Ash's lips.
"Have you heard from Gary?" Ash's eyes shine as he asks the question, and you can feel your lips curve up into a smile.
"Why yes I have, I spoke to him yesterday; he seems to be doing well on his journey." Oak watches as Ash's smile grows even large if that's even possible. Then he drops the topic, almost as if he never asked in the first place.
"Alright, well I've gotta take off Professor, talk to you later."
As Oak hangs up the phone with the future pokemon master, he can't help but to think about the one thing he forgot to mention to the young hat wearer.
"Hey Gramps, how is my Muk doing?"
"Is my Machop still growing stronger by the day?"
"Have you heard from Ash?"
This was fun, I'm glad I wrote this!
