They were greeted with the sight of the fields in front of them as they finally reach Pallet town.

Dean: 'So this is pallet town it certainly looks beautiful and peaceful from the outside' he sped towards the direction pointed by prof.Oak. He looked at the lab from the distance which had a giant cylindrical-shaped red roof behind the lab there was a giant windmill. He parked the bike in front of the gate and slowly helped the professor. Both climbed the steps Dean had Prof.Oak's arm around his neck as a professor couldn't walk properly. He rang the doorbell

???: "Coming. Who is it?" came the voice of a young lady. A beautiful girl opened the door and was stunned to see a handsome man in front of her. Dean just coughed, she stopped staring and looked at her grandfather being supported by the stranger, she looked then at the leg and started to panic as there were scrapes and bit of dried blood on his pants.

Professor: "Dean meet my granddaughter Daisy, daisy this is a promising trainer Dean"

Daisy: " What happened?!" she screamed.

Dean: " First aid" he calmly asked. She looked at him for a few seconds and ran towards her room to get the first aid kit.

She watched as Dean dress the wound of her grandpa and decided to ask the questions later. Dean finished dressing and looked at her.

Dean: " Can I get a glass of water" she just went to get the water. he thought 'Such a good girl'

Prof.Oak: " Thank you, Dean" he said sincerely. Dean smiled

Dean: " Anytime professor" he wanted to ask something but was interrupted by daisy handing him the glass of water.

Daisy: " Now who will tell me what happened?" she had her hands on her hips lightly frowning. Dean just turned to the professor with 'you tell her' look.

Professor started to explain to her how he got that injury nervously when she frowned more he became more uncomfortable and averted the eye contact. Dean seeing that the great professor being afraid of his granddaughter he laughed lightly, Daisy saw from the corner of her eyes glared at him a little

Daisy: "Do you think this is a laughing matter?"

Dean: "I'm sorry but this is funny to me, Professor being afraid of his beautiful granddaughter" She blushed at his comment on her beauty and sighed

Daisy: "I'm sorry for what my grandfather did" she apologized sincerely but Dean waved his hand

Dean: "It's alright, I was thinking of coming here anyways and don't worry about the bike incident you should take care of him," told Dean and turned towards professor "I guess I'll come and get the ID another time" he was ready to leave but professor stopped him

Professor: "Dean stop" he looked back at the wounded man "Where will you go now, its already late" Dean started to think seriously

The professor seeing this: "You can stay here, I have a guest bedroom and I have a request" Dean just raise his eyebrows " I want you to be my temporary assistant"

Dean: "Why me," he was confused by his sudden request.

Professor: " It's because I trust you even though we've known for a short period besides I need help as I can't even walk properly" Dean looked at the professor right in the eyes.

Dean: " Sure" he thought for some time and accepted 'Maybe I can learn a few things from him'.

Professor: "Excellent. Daisy can help you with all you need, Now If you don't mind me I'm going to sleep" he smiled and started to doze off on the sofa. Daisy sighed seeing this and got a blanket to cover him.

Dean: "Daisy, Where is the guest room?" She glanced at him and said

Daisy: "Come I'll show you, If you need something don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for bringing my grandpa home" She thanked him while leading him to the bedroom.

Dean: " As I already said its alright, I did what anyone would do but I have to ask are you sure you can help me with anything" she saw the sly smile on his face and slowly got the idea what he was saying

Daisy: "N-Not with T-that " she blushed hard stuttering. Dean found that it was cute and decided to tease a little more.

Dean: "What does 'That' mean? I don't understand can you explain what 'That' is," the dean asked innocently, she was blushing furiously and then realised that he was teasing her so she just gave a huff and walked without responding to any questions of Dean. She showed him the room and walked without saying anything, he just watched her back silently and shook his head before entering the room. He just sat on the bed and thought of his future before going back to sleep.

In the morning he woke up the same time as he did the previous day, after freshening up he jogged around the town enjoying the scenery and people were very friendly as few of them even gave free fresh vegetable to him. He met Gary after the jog unlike his sister he was an arrogant little guy and he even told him that Dean doesn't stand a chance against him once he starts the journey. Dean with a lazy look said "Is that so" and left. He didn't spend too much time on Gary, he just had breakfast with Oak family. He helped professor's with data collection of different pokemon nearby and in his free time and he trained poliwag, tangela with their accuracy and machop with a new move. Dean spent three months like this in a professor's laboratory. Even after Prof.Oak healed his injury Dean was again offered with the temporary assistant post so he didn't leave the pallet town but continued to train there.

Right now Dean was sleeping with his hands on the behind his head enjoying the feeling of light wind and the grass beneath him. Machop could be seen running while carrying a big rock on his back, poliwag was hitting the wooden targets created by him using watergun and Tangela was being tangela chasing a rattata who was running away as if its life depended on it.

Dean: 'Hah this is life' but his peaceful moment was interrupted by a scream.

" Dean, why are you sleeping there? Come out it's dangerous " Dean turned to see Daisy standing there with the worried look.

Dean: "Jeez calm down will you. It is perfectly safe here maybe you should join me here its calm out here" he lightly said while looking at the sun peaking through the clouds.

Daisy: " I'm not going to come in there," she said while looking at Dean surrounded by Tauros just grazing minding their own business.

Dean: " Alright" ' Let me better go before she does something extreme like the last time' he slowly stood up patting his pants while walking slowly towards Daisy. Suddenly a tauros looked in his direction, started running at full speed. Daisy seeing this screamed but dean was smiling without looking behind just as that tauros was about to tackle him he did a backflip and dodged it. Instead of running he took out a red cloth from his pocket and waved with both of his hands saying

Dean: "Come on" Tauros didn't know why but it felt insulted at that gesture so it came running at full speed. Dean just waved the red cloth Tauros barely missed it, he continued doing that for some time he got bored

Dean: " Daisy take care of it" he shouted.

Daisy: "What!!" 'how should I take care of it' but her thoughts were interrupted when another Tauros came running towards him, it went past him and tackled the first tauros sending him flying some distance. Daisy didn't understand what was going on but watched as Dean came by

Dean: "You must be confused. Let me explain the Tauros that tackled just now is named Daisy, she is a good girl and the first tauros that tried to tackle me is Gary, Gray well ....he is a bit cranky"

Daisy: "Who in the hell named both of them?" she was getting angry.

Dean: "Me" he simply said, "Is there any problem?" Daisy quickly shook her head, she looked at Dean who was petting the tauros named Daisy who was enjoying it.

Dean: " Daisy here is different she is gentle and kind" he slightly glanced at daisy who was blushing looking down as she didn't know whether Dean was talking about the Tauros or her. He continued " She also has a great curve" she lifted her head to see dean stoking the back of the tauros gently "She smells great" Daisy now had smokes coming out of her face, she never blushed so much in her entire life. Dean looked at her enjoying the cute reaction of her shaking her head. ' I wanted to say Daisy here loves me but looking at her reaction now, she will faint if I say that'

Dean: "So Why were you looking for me Daisy" she took a long time to say that professor was looking for me. After saying she immediately ran away "Stop it Daisy stop licking my face" Daisy who was running stopped to looked back to see tauros licking his face. She didn't say anything just ran away quickly.

Dean: " Now that the teasing session is completed let's meet the professor" he left the Tauros Daisy but not before giving Gary a glare who ran away after seeing that. He entered the lab looking for the professor but he found an old man looking at the lab equipment.

Dean: " Excuse sir how can I help you?" he asked as he didn't recognize the man. Oldman turned his head to see who talked to him

Oldman: " Oh it's you young man what a coincidence" Dean also recognised the person as the man who pointed him to the pokemon centre 3 months ago. "Do you work here? It's strange, I didn't know Prof.Oak started hiring employees"

Dean: "He didn't, I'm just a temporary assistant"

Professor Oak: "That's right he is temporary" he came from outside along with a boy who was looking strangely at the dean. Dean seeing him was shocked, he looked at the boy once again and confirmed its the boy he saved from the rocket grunts, speaking of grunts he already checked their pokeballs which were empty so he decided to keep them. The boy stood beside the old man looking at Dean as if trying to remember something

Professor Oak: " Dean, Meet Carl owner of the one of the biggest pokemon food-producing factory in Kanto. Carl this is Dean, working as an assistant here temporarily and a very talented individual." The old man raised his eyebrows hearing this

Dean: "It's nice to meet you sir" he shook his hands.

Old man: 'He really must be talented to get recognized by Oak' The little boy beside him suddenly

Boy: " It's you" he exclaimed and jumped excitedly " Grandpa It's him" Carl was also surprised at his sudden exclamation but he chuckled

Carl: "Do you recognize him?" boy nodded excitedly.

Boy: " Yes Yes he was the one who saved me that day" he happily said. Oldman and the professor Oak were dumb folded as they knew about the horrible incident the boy had gone through. Dean was also surprised 'Impossible, My back was facing him that day he couldn't have seen me before losing his consciousness. oh, I see it's my voice'. Oldman confirmed it with his grandson again

Carl: "Is it true?" he asked Dean seriously while looking into his eyes. Dean wanted to lie but looking at the Oldman and the boy, he slowly nodded. Carl suddenly bowed down his head shocking Professor and the boy. He continued "Thank you, Dean Thank you" he thanked him with the tears forming in his eyes "I could have lost my grandson if it wasn't for you" he sincerely said. The boy also thanked him afterwards, the professor also smiled seeing their happy faces. Dean chatted with them for some time came to know the boy's name as Ken, he ran away from home to became a pokemon trainer because his father was against it. He still wants to be a pokemon trainer even after that, his grandfather convinced his father to let him be a trainer so he came here with Carl to meet the professor. Dean excused himself before saying goodbye to them and went to his room

Carl looked at Dean's back contemplated for few seconds before making a decision "Prof. Oak can I make a call?" Professor just nodded. Carl made a call, as the call connected a man wearing a butler uniform came on the screen

Carl: "Deliver the Egg to Prof.Oak's laboratory," he said. The man on the screen nodded and bowed before disconnecting the call. Seeing the questioning look from Professor and the boy, he smiled "Small token of Gratitude"
