Chapitre 34: Route 5
After passing through the pokemon center and resting for a bit, Touya headed towards Route 5 with Dewott following him.
"De Dewott" Dewott said with annoyance.
"Yes, I know, you wanted to participate, but you had a disadvantage against the electric types, or what?, You wanted to be a fried seal?" Touya said sarcastically.
"De Dewott" Dewott said crossing his arms and looking away.
"Haaaahhhh!, Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Touya said covering his mouth with his hand in an indignant tone.
"De Dewott" Dewott said still angry.
"So you're going through your rebellious stage huh?, you grow up too fast" Touya said dramatically making Dewott unable to take this conversation seriously and going back to his pokeball defeated.
After passing through the stop, Touya met Cheren on Route 5 with his back turned to him.
Touya approached him and slapped him hard on the back scaring him, then said.
"How are you friend?" Touya said with a smile.
"Haaaa, it's you Touya, for a moment I thought he was a guy from the team plasma or a thief" Cheren said with a sigh of relief.
"It is not good to greet people like that, you could kill an elderly man with a heart attack" Cheren said with a warning tone.
"Why would I greet an old man?, Besides, if you didn't die that's fine right?" Touya said as if it was obvious.
"It's just-, you know what, forget it" Cheren said giving up.
"And how is your mission to be the strongest?" Touya asked curiously.
"I already got the bolt badge and my pokemon team and I are very strong" Cheren said confidently.
"Ohhh, not bad sir straight" Touya said impressed.
"Do you want to have a match?" Cheren asked defiantly.
"I think it would be best to wait until we get the 8 badges, if we had a match all the time it would be very predictable" Touya said thoughtfully.
"You're right, it actually sounds like something I'd say" Cheren said surprised.
"Oh no!, you infected me with your righteousness and thoughts, everything went to hell!" Touya said in a desperate tone and holding his head with both hands.
Cheren could only look at him with blank eyes and a vein on his forehead.
Right at that moment, Camila suddenly appeared.
"So you are rivals and friends huh?" Camila said with a smile.
"You are right, and where do we have to go?" Touya asked curiously.
"Follow me, I have to introduce you to someone very important" Camila said and then started walking.
Touya and Cheren looked at each other in confusion and then followed Camila.
But at that moment Touya felt that someone was looking at him and he suddenly turned towards a tree, but found nothing.
'How strange' Touya thought, putting it aside and then following Cheren.
After walking a bit, they found themselves on a street full of all kinds of people, in front of a motor home.
There was also a man with red hair like fire, who looked quite imposing.
Touya and Cheren sweated a bit due to his presence, and Cheren asked.
"Who is he?" Cheren asked curiously.
"he's Mirto, the champion of the pokemon league" Camila said throwing the bomb.
"The champion?!" Touya and Cheren said surprised.
Mirto crossed his arms and looked at both of them intensely making the atmosphere a bit heavy.
After a few seconds his expression suddenly changed.
"Hahaha!, I can see the talent coming out of you two, these young people are very promising" said Mirto with a big smile, full of energy and with an imposing tone.
"I introduce myself, I am Mirto, the champion of the pokemon league, and I am currently traveling" said Mirto still with a big smile and hitting his chest.
"My name is Cheren, and I am traveling to be the champion of the league" said Cheren with determination and confidence.
"A clear and concise objective, great!" Mirto said with an imposing tone.
"But what do you plan to do after you become the champion?" Mirto asked seriously.
"Can you aspire to something beyond?" Cheren asked confused.
"Do you think it is good that being strong is your only goal?, Over the years I realized that it is also important to strengthen your friendship with the pokemon, after all they are the ones that make a strong trainer" Mirto said with a wise tone.
Cheren seemed to consider Mirto's words seriously, striking a thoughtful pose.
"And what about you young brown hair, what is your goal?" Mirto asked pointing at Touya.
"My name is Touya, my goal is to discover if there is something I am missing, to discover if there is a truth that escapes me" Touya said calmly.
"Don't you want to capture them all or be the strongest?" Mirto asked surprised.
"No, I don't like taking pokemon away from their families or homes, and I don't want to be the strongest either, although I do want to be strong enough to be able to protect others" Touya said with determination.
'The truth, and such a humble thought, is he?' Mirto thought in surprise.
"Hahaha!, You are very interesting young trainer, you have a very promising future ahead of you" said Mirto with a big smile.
"There is nothing wrong with your goal, in fact it is very similar to mine about knowing myself more" said Mirto with a lot of energy.
"Thank you sir" Touya said with a little bow.
"No need young Touya" Mirto said calmly.
"I'll tell you something else, in the world there are people who only seek strength and people who are only happy with the company of their pokemon, the world is full of grays and shades, never forget that not everything is just black and white" said Mirto with wisdom and imposing tone.
"The best thing will be to go, let's go to the bridge" Camila said calmly and then walk towards the bridge.
"I have a lot to think about, thanks for all champion Mirto" Cheren said with a little bow and then left.
"Bye Mirto" Touya said saying goodbye with a calm tone.
"I hope you fulfill your peculiar goal young Touya, I'm sure the result will be very interesting" Mirto said, crossing his arms again with a smile.
Then, Touya followed Cheren and Camila towards the bridge.
