Chapter 108: Fooling Professor Elm - Kai’s Essence!
Petyr stepped forward and shook Professor's hand.
"I am Simon, an ancient-Pokemon enthusiast," the Character told Elm. "This here is my good friend, Desmond Jones, a great, yet quite a humble explorer of the ancient ruins and histories. On his side is Priestess Shae of the Ancient Temple of White Snake.
"We have made quite a discovery on an island, hidden far away in the ocean, and have come right away to you. If it wasn't for saving Pokeball Expert Kurt's granddaughter from some evil people who had kidnapped her, we would have arrived here sooner. Quite a grateful man, Kurt. See, he even gifted Desmond a set of custom-made Pokeballs."
Professor Elm didn't give a damn if they had arrived late, Kai could tell. But the mention of saving Kurt's granddaughter did bring some change to his youthful face. Professor Elm's eyes went to the belt on Kai's waist (-the butler was already looking at them-) and exclaimed. "Oh! Are these the Pokeballs made from the Apricorns?"
Kai smiled and nodded.
"May I see the Pokemon now?" Professor Elm suddenly snapped back to the topic. It seemed nothing other than his research could occupy him for long.
Kai admired this attitude from his heart.
The smile on Petyr's face vanished. "The Pokemon's state is quite grievous, Professor," Petyr said gravely. "I don't think it's a good idea for us to take it out here in the open."
"Oh, yes," Professor Elm agreed. "Come to my lab. Burt, don't let anyone in, and shift all appointments to tomorrow."
The Butler didn't seem happy about it but bowed and left the group.
Meg let out an audible sigh in Kai's ears.
