Chapter 47: Arriving Back Home

While Soul was heading towards his hometown, he was challenged by a trainer.

Looking at the trainer who was younger than him, Soul decided to get it over with and accepted his challenge.

Funny enough, the young trainer sent out a Rattata, which gave Soul a sort of deja-vu.

He took out a Pokeball and sent Charizard to battle.

Charizard, who also felt some sort of deja-vu when he saw the weak Rattata in front of him.

He looked over at Soul with a confused expression written on his face.

Soul just shrugged, indicating that he didn't know what was going on either.

The young trainer Rattata went to attack Charizard with Tackle.

The move didn't even do anything to him as he yawned, which sent a small flame out and hit Rattata.

Rattata fainted.

A lot more of deja-vu is hitting them as Soul got the money and flew away on Charizard instead of walking. He didn't want to be challenged since it would be a waste of time.

Arriving at his hometown, Soul went first to visit Professor Oak lab. He should be able to find his dad and the professor there.

And true enough, when he opened the door, he saw his parents talking with Professor Oak.

While they were talking about Soul, the door was opened as all of them looked over and see who it was.

Soul mom almost cried, when she saw her child as she rushed over and hugged him.

Mother: Oh you finally came back! Why didn't you tell us beforehand?

Soul: M-Mom, I can't breathe…

She let go of him as she quickly apologies to him.

Professor Oak and Fred walked over and hugged him each.

Father/Fred: Glad you're back, champ. I wonder how strong you and your Pokemons have become.

Oak: It's good to see you again Soul. I will call Gary and Daisy and tell them that you have arrived.

Soul: A-Ah, you don't have to, professor.

Oak: Hm? Why not?

Soul: Let's surprise them instead!

Oak: I guess we can do that. I would love to see their reaction, hehe.

They all talked for a while before Soul and his parents went back home for dinner.

Seeing his house again gave him a feeling of nostalgia.

Father/Fred: It been a while since you left, huh?

Soul: Yes, I'm finally home again.

They all walked into the house as Soul's mom went to cook dinner for them.

While she was doing that Soul walked upstairs and opened his old room.

Everything was like how he left them before taking the journey. There was not a lot of dust, his parents must have been taking good care of his room while he was gone.

Anubis came out of the shadow and walked around the familiar room.

He looked over at his old bed, which was too small for him now.

Soul took off his bag and put it to the side of the bed. He put his hat on top of his desk and lay down on his bed.

Soul: 'I'm finally back home.'

With that, he closed his eyes as he fell asleep after a few seconds.

Soul mom, who finished cooking her food, asked Fred to tell Soul that dinner is ready.

Fred did what she said, and walked up to Soul's room only to hear snores behind the door.

He opened the door slowly and looked over his son, who fell asleep.

Father/Fred: 'It must have been a long journey for him. He didn't even put the blanket on.'

Fred slowly walked over to Soul's bed and lay a blanket on him, before he went out and closed the door.

Soul's mom asked why he hasn't brought Soul with him, which he explained to her why.

After he finished, Soul's mom chuckles before they started eating dinner.

The next morning Soul woke up and found two sandwiches on his desk.

He holds his stomach as it started to growls for foods.

He pushes the blanket aside and stood up as he begins to yawn and stretch his body.

He took out one of the sandwiches, and look at the note beside it.

'Hope this would fill your stomach when you wake up;)'

Soul took a bite on the sandwich. When he did that, he begins to smile.

Soul: 'Nothing can beat your mother cooking, huh? No matter how good your cooking skill is.'

Taking another bite, Soul took out his phone to see what time it was.

5:43

Soul: It seems like I woke up earlier than normal.

He thought as he went to finish the two sandwiches.

He walked outside of their backyard and took out a Pokeball.

He called out Noivern as it looked around its surrounding.

It immediately recognizes the place as memories suddenly float in.

Noivern suddenly became sad as Soul pat its wing and said.

Soul: Let's visit her, after all, it's been a while.

Noivern nodded as both of them walked inside the forest.

Walking inside the forest, none of the wild Pokemons dared to come close to them.

This was due to the powerful aura that came from all three of them, that made even the strongest Pokemon in the forest to feel like air.

When they reached the place, all three of them could see an old grave that has collects moss for the past months.

Anubis came out of the shadow as all three of this begins to pray for Noivern's mother grave.

After a while, they all stood up as Soul went to clean the gravestone.

While he was doing thud Anubis and Noivern could spot someone was looking at them.

Soul, who also noticed someone was spying on them turn his eyes around and said.

Soul: You can come out now. You lost the game.

There was no response until a movement could be seen from a tree, as a pink cat-like Pokemon came out from its hiding spot with an annoying face.

Turning around Soul smiled when he saw the Pokemon.

Soul: So it was you all along, Mew?
