Chapter 41: Chapteer 41: Hearthome City
After arriving at the house, the trio were immediately escorted to private rooms where they could take a hot bath and a short nap. The trip was very tiring so everyone was grateful for that.
When Xander was done with his bath, he summoned his Pokemon and let them take turns in the bath as well. Mothra went with C.C. while Tamamo and Fenris refused. Tamamo preferred to clean herself if Xander wasn't the one doing it while Fenris simply didn't care. He spent the least amount of time in the storm and his shell prevented anything from truly messing with him.
So while the two smaller Pokemon were in the bath, Xander was sitting on his bed with Tamamo laying her head in his lap while he continued to practice his psychic abilities. He had increased the amount that he shifted the head of the spoon to 45 degrees but was struggling to move it past that point.
'Doing alright, Xander?' Tamamo asked, noticing his frustration
"Not really. Trying to copy you and C.C. with how you use psychic abilities isn't working as well as I thought it would," Xander sighed. He figured that when they were able to use Psychic moves, he could try to mimic them. But it seemed like there was an issue with his method, he just couldn't tell what it was.
What Xander had forgotten was that even the (arguably) strongest psychic in the series still had a teacher in the beginning. He was trying to learn it all on his own which meant that his path was filled with obstacles.
'Perhaps we need to find a teacher for you. Are there any notable psychics among humans?' Tamamo suggested. 'You have had the more experienced of us help the others when we are skilled with a certain Type Energy, wouldn't it make sense to do the same?'
"Great idea!" Xander was immediately pumped when he heard Tamamo's suggestion but soon became deflated. "I only know two psychics that could teach me. One should be about the same age as me but she doesn't have the best personality," Xander downplayed just how awful he remembered Sabrina and the nightmares her episodes gave him as a child. "As for the other, I'm not sure where she currently is."
The other person he was thinking of was Olympia. She was an incredibly powerful and popular psychic. Many people would come from all over to try and get her to see their future which she was able to do with nearly guaranteed accuracy. Not only that, she was also a Gym Leader as well as the leader of a school of psychics at her gym.
The only issue was that Xander wasn't sure if she was active yet. Several of the popular characters in the Sinnoh games and anime hadn't debuted yet such as Crasher Wake who would take over the Pastoria Gym. There was no telling if Olympia was at her gym or not which meant that even if he wanted to go there, he may be wasting valuable time he needed.
'Then there is little you can do besides practice on your own. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it,' Tamamo comforted her trainer. Having been with Xander for over 2 years, she had seen how fast he and Cynthia improved. If anyone could become a master psychic without a teacher, it was surely Xander.
"Thanks, Tamamo," Xander pulled out her brush from his bag and began to groom her tails in appreciation. Just as he got to the 3rd tail, he heard a scream come from the bathroom before C.C. rushed out with a flying and angry Mothra behind her.
Fenris huffed at Mothra, causing him to freeze in his tracks while C.C. floated onto the bed and rushed into Xander's lap, next to Tamamo's tail. The fox looked at C.C. and huffed before curling her tail around the smaller Pokemon to dry her off and then freezing the water into shards of ice. Once she did, she threw them at Mothra who caused the whole incident.
"Hahahaha," Xander couldn't help but laugh at his Pokemon. Each of them had their own personality and he enjoyed every last one of them. From the shy and reserved C.C. to the reclusive Fenris with the bully Mothra and the arrogant yet noble Tamamo. Each one of his Pokemon was cute in their own way in Xander's eyes.
'Although that asshole Truck sent me here, I am grateful that I got to make so many good friends,' Xander no longer hated Truck-sama (I'm not risking him coming after me after I just had an accident) since he had his new family that he loved.
After enjoying some time with his Pokemon, he brought them out of the room to enjoy a warm dinner. At the dinner table, he spoke with Mr. Backlot who owned the mansion and he was similar to how he was in the anime. Polite but loved to brag about his wealth. While Xander was dealing with him, Cynthia was speaking with Celeste, leaving Marley alone since she was shy around so many people and Liam alone since he was a bit of a prat.
Xander went along with the conversation politely on behalf of his two companions since he was used to dealing with people like this from his previous life. After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest but barely an hour after he got back to his, Cynthia and Marley joined him in his with their Pokemon so it turned into a huge sleepover.
The next morning, the storm was still going strong but Mr. Backlot offered to give the trio a ride to Hearthome's City Pokemon Center. After asking everyone for their opinion, the trio decided to go since they were on a tight timetable.
Saying their goodbyes, the group boarded one of the cars with a maid taking the role of the chauffer before they took off and headed to the most beautiful city in all of Sinnoh.
