Did I become a eunuch

"What a monster. With a glance, he was able to see right through Josh's plan." Exclaimed Brock as sweat covered his back. Misty nodded meekly and remembered the monstrosity of a Pokémon that to this day still have her sisters' nightmares.

"Hey guys, I lost." Interrupted ash with an awkward smile. He didn't seem the least bit down about his loss.

"it's ok Ash. We all lose some battles. Do you know someone named Rex?" asked Misty.

"Sure do. He has a super strong Machop when I was back in pallet town. I wonder how strong it is now. I really want to battle him." He said with stars in his eyes.

"Don't!" both Brock and Misty yelled at the same time which surprised Ash.

"Why not?" he asked with scratching the back of his head.

"I will put this as mildly as possible Ash. He would see through you're every move and crush you." Said Brock.

"That isn't mild Brock!" Exclaimed Misty as she punched his arm.

"How do you know that?" asked Ash with a puzzled expression.

"Because he was here when you were battling. You should have heard. He already predicted that you would lose before Rock tomb even landed." Said Misty with a hint of awe in her voice. Ash's face turned into one of shock.

"Really? He was here?" he yelled completely skipping over the first part.

"Yes, but he left. Since he guessed the result, he didn't stick around. But he was heading towards Celadon city. We might see his battle." Said Misty with a hint of excitement. Ash was excited as well.

"Yeah, let's hurry up and get there. I really want to battle him." He said.

"Ash didn't I just tell- oh never mind. It's like talking to a brick wall." Misty sighed.

The Celadon city soon came into view as Rex zoomed forward. He was not impressed with Ash's performance in the least. What ticked him off the most though, was him holding back his Pokémon's evolutions. If they didn't evolve soon, they would be stuck in that form forever. And the thought of wasting so much potential grinded his gears. He didn't even stay till the end. He had better things to do.

It seemed the Ash didn't change in this universe. He was disappointed. He hoped he would be different in this world. He wanted strong opponents and Ash should have been one. But it seemed that he would only serve as a warmup at best. The only competent Pokémon on his team is Charizard. And even he didn't respect Ash.

Ash's Charizard would only fight stronger opponents or opponents that it deemed worthy. So, he was sure that Charizard would fight if he went up against Ash in the league. Maybe that would give him some excitement. Shaking away the thoughts from his head, he entered the city and headed directly towards the nearest hotel. He was going to spend the day relaxing and taking in the view before challenging the gym tomorrow.

He also got a text a couple of hours ago telling him that his shipment of steel would be ready in 2 days' time. He was getting excited just thinking about it. with that thought in mind he alighted from his bike and walked into the hotel.

The smell of flowers assaulted his nose as he strode in. when he looked around, there were dozens of vases filled with roses and other flowers. It was pleasant at first but soon got annoying the more you smelt it.

"Good afternoon, I would like to make a reservation for the night." He said while placing his hands on the desk. The man lifted his head and nodded. "Name?"

"Rex."

"what room would you like?"

"The most expensive one." Rex said with a smile.

"Ok. All ready. Please tap your phone on here and everything will be done." He said and handed Rex a black box with a screen on it. Rex opened up the bank app and tapped his phone on it and the money was transferred. 2 thousand for the night. He really had to thank Giovanni for the free money.

He walked out of the hotel with a chuckle as he thought about that and looked to his left and right. He didn't know where to start.

Having no better option, he headed to the Pokémon centre. Since that was where trainers congregated the most, there was bound to be brochures and what not. once he arrived, he headed to the left where a massive map of the region was located. On the sides, dozens of different colour brochures decorated the wall. He soon spotted one that read 'best places to visit in Caledon city'.

After skimming through it, he left the Pokémon centre and made his way to a very expensive restaurant. The reason it was expensive was that it had dozens of private rooms with hot springs and access to unlimited food.

He wanted to treat his Pokémon and thought that this should be their first stop. Upon arrival what stood out to him was the vintage look building. It was made out of dark wood and stone. When he walked in the smell of beef wafted through making his mouth water. At the desk a beautiful receptionist was seated.

"Hello, how can I help you?" she asked as she eyed him with a wandering gaze. he tried his best to stay objective while being checked out.

"I would like to reserve a private room please."

"Sure, we have one available. Would you like an assistant to help you with anything?" she asked with a wink. But to her surprise, he calmly shook his head.

" I think I'm more than capable of feeding my own Pokémon. Is the room ready?" he asked.

"That's not what I- yes, yes, it is, room 32. It's down the corridor and to the left." She said dejectedly. Rex didn't dawdle and disappeared through the door. The receptionist doubted herself. Was she not pretty enough?

Rex was naturally attracted to her appearance but it was short-lived. His interest instantly tanked. He didn't really know why, but most women he would have slept with already were becoming unattractive in his eyes recently.

'did I become a eunuch?' he thought half jokingly. but a part of him felt unsettled and had to make sure. he only breathed out a sigh of relief after knowing everything was in order. he laughed at himself before walking into his room.
