Chapter 23: Pewter Museum

Brock: Responsibility

It is my dream to become a top-class Pokemon breeder and Groomer. I also want a harem of beautiful ladies but that would come after that.

I realized my dreams and desires when I was 10 years old. Everything was going well until when I turned 12, he disappeared leaving behind everything.

I had to take up the role of my father to raise my other siblings sacrificing my time. At first, I hated it but I got used to it.

My mother was a good and kind person but not a very good parent because she could not correct any mistakes my siblings made and spoiled them. I had to make them realize what was wrong and right.

More so for the fact that my mother would be out most of the time as she had to take up the role of the gym leader. My father had other gym apprentices that were pretty helpful when she was not present.

In spite of having a hard time, my love for my family never decreased. They mean the world to me. My mother knew what she lacked as a parent so she slowly started acting like a parent which reduced some weight off my shoulders.

Along all of these, I never stopped studying for my dreams. I took several classes in Pokemon breeding and grooming to create a path for myself.

When I turned 16, I decided to take over the gym as the gym leader while my mother stayed home taking care of the siblings.

That is when I realized, the task of gym leader was very taxing and tiring. No wonder mother could not focus properly at home.

A gym leader had to make sure to retain the reputation of an official gym. They had to assert their strength based on the fact that the trainer was a newbie or experienced.

They had to sign a large number of papers and do various inspections.

Like this three years had passed and I turned nineteen. I was ready to take my first breeder and groomer exam, all that was left was to convince myself to leave behind my family that I was with me for 19 years.

Fortunately, something good happened that made me solidify my road ahead.

***********

The next day Misty too registered herself for the gym battle and got to fight on the next afternoon.

In the Pokemon Center Aoki listened to some trainers say how terribly they lost to Brock and that the league should lower the difficulty of the gym battle.

Aoki ignored them and video called his parents. He could message them with the Pokedex but talking with them was different.

His father was busy, it was her mother who picked him up.

She immediately hammered him with questions like if Aoki was eating property, if he changed his clothes regularly, etc.

Aoki showed her his Boulder badge, making her very happy. Aoki introduced Misty to which his mom gave him an all-knowing face.

Misty had decided to train her Pokemon the rest of the day leaving Aoki alone. He could train too but decided to give his Pokemon a break from training.

After thinking for a while, Aoki decided to visit the Pewter Museum 

The Museum was the largest building in the entire town surpassing even the Gym.

The Pewter Museum was famous all over the Kanto region for its wide display of prehistoric Pokemon fossils and renders.

Aoki paid an entrance fee and entered the Museum.

There were replicated fossils of Kabuto, Omanyte, Aerodactyl, etc on display for people to see along with a lot of information on them.

There were fossils from other regions too which were imported from other regions like Lileep, Bastiodon, etc.

Aoki moved ahead and saw different pictures like the one where a man was holding a living Kabuto.

And yes, the researchers have found a way to revive pokemon from their fossils but only if the fossil was complete, or else the Pokemon would die as soon as it is revived.

There were some excavated fossils on display that were found on mount Moon which was heavily guarded.

The fossils that can be revived were in the deepest part of the museum with top-class security.

Talking about Mt. Moon, people avoided going to Mt. Moon.

This place was infested with blood-sucking Zubats, Gravelar, Onix, Sandslash, etc. It is called one of the most dangerous places in Kanto for a reason.

This place is suicide for normal people and possess an immense threat to trainers too.

Mt.Moon has several floors both towards the peak and underground filled with wild Pokemon. These floors are carved by wild Pokemons for centuries.

Many people went in the search of rumored Clefairy and 'moon stone' reserve but not everyone comes back uninjured.

This was one of the places where wild Pokemon generally do not come out of their habitat so the league doesn't take any steps.

Anyone who ventures is given a map of accessible and forbidden areas for them to travel. The map only covers two floors beyond which is called the death zone.

Some say that even elite-level Pokemon can be found on the topmost and deepest floors of mount moon but no one tried to find out if it was true or not as it was not worth risking their life.

The pokemon there have developed a natural ability to see in the dark and have very good knowledge about their surrounding.

So even trainers with strong Pokemons fall under the attack of such Pokemons. The mountain has its own ecosystem inside with plants that are only native to that place.

The League and insurance companies would not be responsible for their deaths if they venture into mount moon.

Mount Moon attracts archaeologists more than trainers because of its large fossil reserves.

Each year many people come from different regions to research about Mount Moon.

Leaving that aside Aoki entered a small room where a battle simulation between an Aerodactle and a Dragonite was shown with a 3D projector making Children yell in delight.

Currently, only a few people were known to own an Aerodactle and the two Pokemon in the simulation belonged to the same person.

The simulation was of the time when Aerodactyl was first revived and went berserk so Dragon Master lance had to step in to stop the rampage.

Dragon master Lance, the champion of the Kanto region.

There were key chains of fossil Pokemons for selling so Aoki bought two Kabuto key chains.

Moving ahead, there were recordings of the excavation process in time laps for people to see. In another section, there were books for people who were interested in that profession.

Aoki read that there was an institute being built in Pewter City for training young archaeologists and researchers.

Finally, Aoki entered the last section where everything that was for sale was displayed.

That included complete and incomplete fossils of Pokemons like Onix, Golem, etc.

The prices of fossils were way beyond Aoki's expectations. So far the most preserved fossil was of a Charizard and Golem fighting with a price of 2 million Pokedollars.

Aoki looked more and found that someone was selling moonstones at a very high price but they were of low quality so he ignored it.

As Aoki was looking, his vision caught the sight of an old man selling a lot of small stones.

Out of those stones, he found a stone that was special. It was dark yellow stone with a black-red pattern inside.

'Is that what I think it is !!'

"How much for these stones? "  Aoki asked

"1000 Pokedollar for each "

Aoki acted like he looked through and bought three stones along with the special stone.

"Where did you get these stones?"

"They were along with some Golem fossils I found in Mount Moon" replied the old man.

Aoki didn't ask much and left the museum.

"Seems like I hit a jackpot. I am sure this is a mega stone but the problem is I don't know which Pokemon it belongs to"

Aoki called out three of his Pokemons and told them if they could find anything interesting about the stone but none of them had any connection to it.

"Well doesn't matter, I can find it someday "
