Grayson was furious he thought he'd gotten through to the kid. Obviously he was gonna have to get tough. He'd dragged the boy into the bathroom, ignoring the boy's protests, and pulled Hideyoshi's pants down after taking his own belt off. He was just about to lay into the boy when Hideyoshi suddenly started crying. "I'm sorry I followed you before b-but please don't h-hit me!!! I swear I d-didn't follow yooouuu!!!" Hideyoshi cried out with anguish. Grayson looked at Hideyoshi and frowned. He pulled the boy's pants up and let him stand putting his belt back on. "Okay, I believe you Hideyoshi." He lead the boy out of the Pokemon Center and to one of the local eateries for lunch. He looked at the boy and the look of determination on his face to become stronger. "I've been doing some thinking, Hideyoshi. I've decided that I will take you on as my student." He held up a finger letting the boy know there was a catch though. "BUT if I do this, if I tell you to do something you do it. I will be in charge of your diet, hygiene, and well pretty much your entire lifestyle. If you disobey me or do something wrong you WILL be punished, period. No ifs, ands, or buts. Do I make myself clear and with that in mind.. do you still want to be my student?"
