“Oh? So the drug ingredients this time are provided by Beedrill? It seems the materials can be obtained from Beedrill breeders. That's amazing, Satoshi!”
Professor Oak was also very satisfied after seeing Satoshi's new honey water formula. It not only tasted good but was also beneficial to the human body. Plus, children love sweet things, so it would be a substantial income.
“Well, I don’t know if honey from other regions can be used as a substitute. After all, it hasn't been actually tested. So, for now, we can only use Beedrill's honey.”
“I understand. Both I and the Joy family will pay attention to this matter. But I think those old geezers would prefer only Beedrill honey. After all, they rely on this to make money.”
“I don't understand you adults. Well, Professor Oak, I'm going out to play. You can drink that with some hot water, it's more comfortable that way.” After saying this, Satoshi ran out, while Professor Oak said with a smile, “This kid.”
Professor Oak wasn't worried about Satoshi's safety. You might ask why? Because Satoshi had successfully become the most welcomed person by all the Pokemon in this area, thanks to his food. They would welcome him with open arms!
And Satoshi, on his side, wasn't going out to play, but to meet an old man.
——Divider——
“Boss Sakaki, here! Here!”
When Satoshi found the old man, Boss Sakaki asked with a smile, “Satoshi, what brings you here?”
“Here, this is the new honey water I made. Beedrill will surely love it.”
Looking at the bottle Satoshi handed over, Sakaki smiled and released his Beedrill. Sakaki's Beedrill, seeing Satoshi, rubbed against him affectionately. It was even more delighted when it saw the honey water. However, it didn't snatch it but waited for Satoshi's actions.
Satoshi smiled and poured half a cup, giving one to Sakaki and one to the Beedrill. The Beedrill eagerly drank it, while Sakaki smiled and asked as he drank, “It seems there will be another product soon?”
“Yes, but Boss Sakaki, if you want a stronger version, just tell me and I’ll make it for you.”
Looking at Satoshi, Sakaki smiled and said, “Then, thank you.”
To say how Satoshi and Sakaki met was quite simple. Sakaki was the leader of an organization in Kanto called Team Rocket. But, one time, due to a traitor’s actions, Sakaki’s whereabouts were discovered by other external organizations. Although Sakaki dealt with them, he was also seriously injured.
At that time, Satoshi appeared. With the help of Pokemon, he found herbs and successfully helped Sakaki stop the bleeding. Then, with the help of the Pokemon, he took Sakaki to the hospital.
Sakaki also remembered this small but kind angel who saved him in his most dangerous moment.
After Sakaki recovered, with the joint efforts of Team Rocket and the Pokemon League, both overt and covert, the external organizations were destroyed. After everything ended, Sakaki also sent people to investigate Satoshi's information. He discovered that Satoshi was from a single-parent family and, surprisingly, had used his abilities to connect with the Oak family and the Joy family to reduce the burden on his mother. Therefore, he liked Satoshi even more. So, taking this opportunity to thank Satoshi for saving his life, he often went to see Satoshi.
Gradually, the emotional bond between Sakaki and Satoshi was no longer just the so-called life-saving grace. Their relationship became more like a father and son. However, neither of them said it out loud. It was okay this way.
“Satoshi, I heard you are going to a summer camp?”
“Yeah, my mom signed me up without telling me… Honestly, with that technique, I’d rather do something else.”
“Hahaha, It’s not bad to spend some time with your peers.”
“Nah, we wouldn’t have anything to talk about.”
Sakaki understood Satoshi very well. Geniuses are lonely, and that’s a fact. However, Sakaki didn’t want Satoshi to be like this. So, he came up with an idea.
“Satoshi, how about going to Hollywood?”
“Huh? Hollywood? What's so good about Hollywood?”
“Go relax. Trust me. And don’t you think this is a good opportunity for your mother to relax too?”
“!!!” It might be difficult to persuade Satoshi on other things, but when it came to Hanako, Satoshi was immediately motivated. After all, Satoshi was a filial child. So, he thought that their family’s money could indeed let his mother have some fun. Thus, Satoshi nodded and said, “Right! Boss Sakaki, you're right! Before going to the summer camp, I should take my mom to Hollywood to have some fun!”
Sakaki couldn’t help but smile as he looked at Satoshi. Then, he said, “In that case, I’ll take care of the ship.”
“You can?”
“Don’t underestimate your Boss Sakaki, you little rascal.”
In this way, the old man and the young boy, sipping honey water, chatted happily.
