As the elder, beast, & kanto boy arrived at a beach near a mansion they approached to a door & knock on to it. The door opens & reveals to be a dark tanned man with glasses & a cane with him. He greeted his welcome guests.

Hudson: Hello old friend.

Robbins: Ah. Hudson. I`m glad you came.

Bronx barked happily.

Ah. I see that you've brought Bronx with you.

The beast happily walked toward the blind man to rub his head for affection.

Ash smiled & chucked a bit.

The dark tanned man notice a unfamiliar voice of someone he has never seen before as he asks Hudson of the mysterious boy with him

Robbins: Hudson who is this young man with you?

Ash: Oh uh sorry sir um my names Ash. Ash Ketchum & Hudson invited me along.

Robbins: I see. Well come along my boy & join us for some supper.

Ash: Thank you Mr. Robbins. I'd be delighted.

Robbins: Please young man, call me Jeffrey & besides any friend of Hudson's is a friend of mine.

Ash: Ok Jeffrey. I`ll try to remember that .

Robbins: Oh i know you will. Now come our supper's not going to move by itself.

They entered the house & out of nowhere a brown German Shepard approached to Hudson as it licks his hand & barks happily at Bronx but when it spotted Ash it looks at him curiously as it approaches to him & sniffs his hand.

After it sniffed the kanto native's hand the brown dog placed it's paws on his shoulders as it begins to lick him before falling to the floor.

Ash(chuckling): Hey quit it! That tickles!

Robbins: My. I see that Gilly is showing alot of affection to your friend Hudson.

Hudson: First Bronx now Gilly. You seem to have a gift with creatures' lad.

Ash: Well I do have a way with animals in my world like showing my care for them & understanding their feelings. But sometimes it's not true when i screw it up with them

The two elders watched happily as they to see the kanto native of getting himself tackled & licked by the two animals as he gives them a joyful chuckle

But the native boy manged get himself off from the two animals as he begins to ruff them.

Ash: You two sure remind me of my pokemon every time i look at you. (Sighs) If only they were here you'd all be great friends.

The animals rubbed & licked Ash through his face as he laughs.

After the laugh Ash looked around at the bookshelf & wondered if the Mr. Robbins bought or made them.

Ash: Hey mr Robbi i mean Jeffrey have you boughten all these books in one store?

Robbins: Oh no my boy. I made them myself.

Ash: Whoa! Really!? All by yourself!?

Hudson: It's true lad. The same thing happened to me when i first learned about it. But he did told me that he bought some once as his modern success lad.

Robbins: Ok, ok. True to that.

Ash: That's so cool. Can i look into one please?

Robbins: Of course my boy, you're welcome to look into any of them.

Ash: Thank you sir.

The native boy looked into a fantasy book & opened it. But as he looked into it he sees nothing but dots with letters.

Ash: Um Jeffrey, what kind of writing is this?

Robbins: Why it's braille. It's how i can read & write. Well back when i had something to write about since then. Here's a printed version to make more sense to you my boy. (hands ash the printed book)

Ash: I don't get it. Have you written braille & printed books all your life?

Robbins(chuckled): My dear boy. I learned how to braille when i was 40. Well almost 40. And i won't be afraid to learn a new way if im 80. But if you still don't understand what it all means i could teach you about it. If you're interested

Hudson: An excellent idea Robbins. The lad could learn more about reading better. What do you think lad?

Ash: I`d love that. It'd be something i could understand better. I would like to learn about reading. Besides i never did any learning of books in my world that much.

Hudson: That's the spirit lad. You sure remind me of myself when i first learned about books.

Ash: Did you really Hudson? But aren't you to old for that?

Robbins: My boy. Nobody's too old for learning if you figured it out of course. Besides you might think of a novel of your own someday.

Ash: Really? Wow I never even thought about that. But how do i that? How will these books help me through of what im learning?

Robbins: Young man. Hear me out as i am about to tell you of what the true meaning of Books really is. They are the written word between memory & oblivion. Without them as our anchors, we are a casted rift nether teaching or learning because they are windows of the past, mirrors of the present & prison's reflecting all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected into the dark sea of time.

The kanto native was amazed by the dark tanned elder's speech. Maybe there's more to books than he'd realized. They might really guide him of what they really mean one day. Although He may yet learned of making his own book about how he became connected in the world of Gargoyles. The story of the bond between him & a group of creatures called gargoyles.

Ash: Wow Jeffrey i never even thought of that. I guess there's more to books than just reading them huh. And maybe you're right. i will one day write my own book when i return home someday. And I`m gonna call it The journey through Life & Friendship .

Hudson: The journey though Life & Friendship? Sounds very wonderful lad.

Robbins: indeed it is Hudson. Indeed it is.

(ending theme) Before the scene ends, Ash begins to read with Bronx & Gillie next to him. As Hudson & Robbins began their teaching lessons to him. But before they could, he had one last thing to say with a smile as he silently speaks within his heart

Thank you.

A/N: I want to give credit to Ms. Aoi. because she did two stories (Aura Guardian of Becan & What if) of Ash getting himself licked by two dogs(well polar dog for that matter) & a pokemon friend of his like Naga, Zwei & Charzarid. So i got interested of doing one of my own Ash getting licked moments because she started this & she deserves the credit more than anyone. From me to you. It gave me some thought into this & i owe all to you & other authors including Oathkeeper0317 for having me inspired to all your stories that made me think of my own story & i want to thank you all from bottoms of my heart. May Jesus Christ bless you all with heart of knowledge, wisdom, bonding, courage loyalty, trust & friendship. May your writing skills & creative mind be greater than ever. Do your best i believe in you!
