29 Chapter 28

After arriving at the all you can eat ramen place we sat down to watch Henry win everyone a free meal. It was kind of fascinating watching Henry eat four ramen bowls each the size of two grown men's heads. I should be used to this by now after knowing Henry for twelve years.

Then again back then I thought Henry would never be my friend until something amazing happened to change my mind. I pull out my locket opening it. It shows the latest photo's taken by my phone and Rotomdex displayed in a slideshow. My locket is something special given to me by my father for my journey it works as a tracker and links to any electronic devise that uses the same email address. I found out it was tracker by losing the Team Rocket grunts following me then just a few moments later those same grunts or another group is following me.

It was annoying at first especially when Rain kept pointing out the people following us. We made it into a game who could tell who is Honey's incompetent bodyguards first. The winner gets a free meal at the next pitstop on our journey. Then I look up to see that Rain has finished his fourth bowl of ramen winning free meals for himself and the rest of us.

Henry puts down the bowl that was obscuring his face. His mask is put back into its proper place over before we could see his face. I shiver at the thought of seeing Henry's face again. It is the stuff of nightmares and even though I know he has background character syndrome and it targeted his face. I still cannot look at him until his mask is on his face.

Henry waves us over to the bouffe table," Come on we better eat before they close for special meet and greet with the top Eeevee trainer Adi tonight. That reminds me Honey that me and you were going to battle when you arrived for your third gym badge. Would it be okay to battle tomorrow? Well at least my battle that is since Michio has been looking forward to battling you after watching your poketube channel."

Rain frowns after picking out what he wanted to eat," Well I thought it was going to be a double battle with me and Honey fighting you and Michio." Rain sets down his plate then goes over to the pokemon chow center. It is an area filled with dispensers that have labels of what pokemon would like best and a list of ingredients included for pokemon on special diets. These special diets are caused by training conditions or allergies caused by certain foods. That reminds me that I need to carefully read these labels just in case my pokemon are not getting enough nutrition or in the case of Minuet her refusal to eating anything spicy.

"Yeah I can battle you tomorrow Henry but what do mean by watching my battles on poketube? I have never posted any of battles on there." I put Leilani down and release the rest of the team to eat. I put down five bowls filled with food they would hopefully like from here.

Michio slams his hand down on the table," You don't know what poketube is? It is where gym leaders post their battles against challengers. It is also where the League gives challengers a chance to become famous and learn their enemies strategies. They do this by recording any battles a trainer does that includes trainer verses trainer battles. Poketube also is where if you want to learn things you just look for a video to watch."

Then Michio looks at me again rubbing his mask," Then again how can I expect a first time trainer to understand."

I look at Michio," Thank you for explaining how you know what I have been doing. Now do you still want to battle after lunch today?"

"Yes of course I want to battle you. Now hurry up and finish eating!" Michio looks at Rain," Stay here and watch Henry for me."
