Chapitre 118: Chapter 118: A Gift from Grandpa
---
After defeating the three members of Team Rocket who attempted to seize the six Pokémon, Dr. Birch invited everyone to stay at his laboratory.
This included Gary, Rosa, Hilda, Professor Oak, Ash, and others who had just arrived. Fortunately, Dr. Birch's laboratory was spacious enough with plenty of vacant rooms, so there was no issue accommodating everyone overnight.
After dinner that night, Professor Oak stopped Gary, who was about to return to the room with Rosa and the others.
After being stopped by his grandfather, Gary wasn't sure what Professor Oak wanted, but he said something to Rosa and the others and then followed Professor Oak out of the laboratory.
As for Rosa and Hilda, although they were curious about Professor Oak's conversation with Gary, they understood it was a matter between grandfather and grandson, so they didn't intrude.
Once outside in the courtyard, Professor Oak suddenly stopped, and Gary, who was following him, almost bumped into him.
"Grandpa, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Looking at Professor Oak who had stopped, Gary couldn't contain his curiosity and asked his grandfather.
"Gary, try to guess."
Professor Oak didn't answer Gary's question immediately but smiled, keeping it a secret.
"Let me guess?"
Seeing his grandfather's silence, Gary immediately lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
"What could Grandpa want to talk to me about?"
After thinking for a while, Gary suddenly remembered what his grandfather had mentioned a few days ago. He felt that this time his grandfather might be looking for him regarding that matter.
"Could it be the gift you mentioned before, Grandpa?"
Since he recalled what his grandfather had said on the phone earlier, Gary raised his head and shared his guess.
"Yes, it's the gift I promised to give you, Gary!"
Professor Oak wasn't surprised that Gary could guess it, as he had expected it. After all, Gary is his grandson!
"Then try to guess what this gift is."
After Gary guessed it was a gift, Professor Oak continued to keep it a secret.
"I really can't guess this."
As for what gift his grandfather would give, Gary wasn't a mind reader, so he couldn't know his grandfather's thoughts. Isn't this a typical way to stump me?
So, Gary spread his hands to his grandfather, indicating that he couldn't guess it.
"Hahaha."
When Professor Oak saw Gary's performance, he laughed.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
After laughing, Professor Oak didn't make Gary guess any longer. Instead, he took out a black box from his bag and handed it to Gary.
"Here, this is the gift for you."
"What is this?"
While Gary took the black box handed over by his grandfather, he looked at him with an inquiring look.
"You'll know after you open it."
Professor Oak didn't explain Gary's inquiring look but smiled mysteriously.
"Okay."
Seeing the mystery maintained by his grandfather, Gary didn't say anything further but focused his eyes on the black box in his hand.
When Gary opened the black box and saw the neatly arranged items inside, he immediately widened his eyes and showed an incredulous expression.
"Grandpa, this is... the Mega Stones!"
After seeing what was in the black box, Gary looked at his grandfather with a shocked face.
"Yes, these Mega Stones and Key Stones are what I have collected during this period."
Professor Oak looked at Gary's performance and nodded.
Indeed, just as Gary and Professor Oak said, the black box he gave Gary contained five Mega Stones and two Key Stones.
"Since you told me about Mega Evolution, I started to pay attention to it. But so far, I have only collected these few."
After saying that, Professor Oak still felt a little regretful that he only collected so few.
"It's already amazing to be able to collect these Key Stones and Mega Stones."
Seeing the regretful mood of his grandfather, Gary also comforted him: "We still have a long time to go, enough for us to collect more."
Currently, the concept of Mega Evolution is only known to a small group, and Professor Sycamore's paper hasn't been published yet, so not many people know about it. Collecting Mega Stones and Key Stones is just a matter of time and effort.
"This is the only way for now."
Professor Oak nodded after listening, agreeing with Gary's opinion.
"By the way, Grandpa, which Pokémon do these five Mega Stones correspond to?"
At this time, Gary also focused on the five Mega Stones in his hand.
"Professor Sycamore and I have confirmed that these five Mega Stones should belong to Gyarados, Charizard, Metagross, Aggron, and Steelix!"
Professor Oak pointed to the five Mega Stones one by one and introduced them to Gary.
"It's the Mega Stones of these five Pokémon!"
After listening to what Professor Oak said, Gary immediately understood.
At the same time, Gary also made corresponding plans for these five Mega Stones and two Key Stones.
Among them, Gary plans to keep the Mega Stones of Gyarados, Charizard, and Metagross for himself. Although Gary doesn't have Charizard now, he can still capture it later.
Gary plans to leave a Key Stone and a Mega Stone of Aggron to Rosa, as this is what she has always wanted.
Gary gave the other Key Stone and Steelix Mega Stone to Hilda, because she happened to capture a Steelix.
Looking at Gary's head down in thought, Professor Oak continued: "From your appearance, I guess you have already come up with a corresponding solution!"
"Yeah."
After Gary nodded, he told his grandfather about his plan.
"Give it to Rosa and Hilda?"
After hearing Gary's plan, Professor Oak did not refuse: "These two girls are good children, you must not let them down!"
"I will."
Gary nodded solemnly.
Professor Oak was also relieved by Gary's nod.
Then the grandfather and grandson chatted under the moonlight and starlight, and stopped reluctantly when it was time to go to bed.
