Alex arrived at the lobby of the Pokemon center with his new member of the team, Dratini wound around his neck. He looked around everything curious and whenever he saw a new thing, he often asked Pikachu and Swablu what those things were.
When Alex arrived, he saw two pair of the couple standing anxiously for someone. They were the Waterflower and the Gordon family.
They saw Alex arriving and rushed to him. His aunt Jenny reached him first. She grabbed his shoulders hard ignoring the Pokemon on his shoulder and asked," Alex, where is Jim? What happened to him?"
Her forceful act wasn't liked by the young Dratini and he sent a thunder wave at her. Fortunately, Pikachu possessed lightning rod ability and saved his aunt.
" Dratini, calm yourself down. She isn't hurting me. You cannot attack anyone until I say so. Am I understood?" Alex warned his young pokemon and to establish his dominance, he let out his pressure.
This pressure served the dual role. First, this made Dratini calm and established his majesty in his mind.
Secondly, it made the adults refrain from using physical actions in getting their answers.
His uncle Gray asked his nephew," Where are the kids, Alex?"
Alex looked at the anxious parents and calmly said," Follow me. I will take you to them."
He took them towards the nurse joy who awaited for Alex's. On seeing Alex, she said to him," Alex, are you here to pick your pokemons? Most of your pokemon are fine with minute injuries, but nidorino needs to rest and stay until tomorrow and Magmar needs to under intensive care for at least a month."
On hearing, this Mathew asked," What happened to those two Pokemons, Alex?"
Alex shrugged a little and said, "nothing much. Nidorino is injured due to a continuous attack of his own and was injured in the aftermath.
As for Magmar, a chandelier fell on him hard. Really hard."
" Is magma going to be alright?" Mathew asked nurse joy.
" Don't worry. Magmar has a strong body Constitution. This along with proper treatment he will be fine. I was thinking of sending him back so he could get his proper rest. " Alex said not at all worried about their injury.
Nurse Joy took the group inside on seeing the familiar figure of Mathew and understood they cane to meet their kids.
" Are they seriously injured too?" Jenny asked.
" No, they aren't injured. They are just put to sleep so they can heal quickly." Alex said.
" And what about your injury? I saw your tattered shirt when you called." Mathew asked.
" Some knife cannot injure me enough to put me on the bed. " Alex said dismissing his injury.
Then they came across a room. Both of them were kept in the same room.
There are two kids sleeping and glucose was supplied as a supplement to make sure that their body doesn't go hungry.
The two sets of parents rushed towards their kids and Alex told nurse joy," I am going to sleep now. I barely avoided their wrath by revealing Magmar's injury but it will come soon. I am leaving. "
Alex left the room and headed for the cafeteria. He was eating his food while giving his Pokemons some as they wanted to eat too.
While he ate his food before going to bed, two males settled on the table in front of him.
Alex looked above his food to see the two were Mathew Waterflower, the gym leader and Gray Gordon, his uncle.
" How were they injured, Alex?" Gray asked his nephew.
" When I arrived at the town, I was given a mission by the league. The Solar Town had experienced multiple kidnapping events of young trainers. So the league ordered me to find the source and deal with them. They also wanted me to catch their leader so he could be interrogated about the organization.
The two were caught by them both for kidnapping purpose and to lead me to an ambush. " He explained.
" Who was the one who injured them?" Mathew asked
Alex uttered only one word," The shadows "
Mathew's eyes flashed with an understanding while Gray never heard of their existence and was confused and asked his nephew," what are the shadows, Alex?"
Alex looked at Mathew asking his opinion of whether to reveal it to his uncle. Only when he nodded did Alex reveal the information about them.
"The shadow is the strongest underworld organization of the Johto league who had decided to slowly enter the affairs of Kanto too. They have performed multiple attacks on different places in Kanto and tried to establish a stronghold in Kanto but have failed. " Alex revealed only this and nothing sensitive about them was told to the civilian uncle.
"From the way you said, you had encountered the ambush of the shadows so if you don't mind me asking, How many people ambushed you, Alex?" Mathew asked.
" About 40 people with most releasing two Pokemons to fight. " Alex said.
Gray turned white on hearing this. He and his wife were angry at Alex for not being able to protect Jim, but knowing he had to face such an ambush made him aware how much danger he faced, to save them.
He felt guilty and was anxious if he was injured but ignored in favor of his companions and said," And you are fine? Alex, you should rest now. You cannot just neglect the injuries. "
" Uncle, nurse joy personally checked me and made sure to treat every wound I gained in this battle. " Alex tried to console his uncle.
Mathew knew that the situation wasn't right, and so he decided to divert to something else and started the topic about Dratini," Alex, when did you catch the Dratini?"
" Dratini. Alex, I heard they are really rare. You are very lucky to get one. He will surely be a powerhouse of your team." Gray told his nephew while appreciating and complimenting the serpentine dragon pokemon.
Alex rubbed his head and said," I didn't catch him. I got it as a reward for my last assignment in Sky Town." This served as both revealing and not revealing the info about Dratini.
Mathew knew what Alex faced in there so he felt that the reward was apt, while Gray knows that some tasks info cannot be revealed, so he didn't pry about the topic.
" You got another future elite level Pokemon on your team. Congratulations. " Mathew said to Alex.
But, Alex wasn't smiling and said with a sad smile," what congratulations. The growth time of pseudo legendary is too long. If we are different objects to speed up the process then one can turn bankrupt.
I have a larvitar ready for evolution. He now eats almost sane amount if food as Snorlax and his diet are of composed of Earth gems.
I was happy that after evolution, some of my expenses will be reduced, but I got another glutton on the team. So tell me, Mathew, whether I should be happy about having new powerful pokemon or sad at the money flying away from my pocket?" Alex said and his Dratini didn't like his insult.
He was awarded a tail slammed on his head. Alex just rubbed his sore head and glared at his pokemon who seemed pretty proud of his actions.
The two adults laughed at their attics. Mathew has a rough idea of the cost that Alex spent on hos larvitar's accelerated growth. But gray didn't know. He wanted to know how much costly raising so e Pokemons could be and asked," How much did you spend on him? "
" Nearly a billion. If not for the last profits of my honey business, I couldn't even feed my other Pokemons ?" Alex said with a hint of a lie. Mathew didn't come forward to correct Alex and let things be.
" A billion? Can raising pokemons be so costly? One pokemons burnt away a billion dollars." Gray asked surprised and shocked by the expenditure of Alex.
" Does your mother allow you to spend money so extravagantly?" Gray asked softly fearing his sister may hear him and rush towards them from the shadows.
" Of course not, I make sure to keep some of the profit enter my account for raising Pokemons. Although most enter my family's.
If Mom knew how much money larvitar eats she may even throw him out, though she cannot lift him up because of his weight " and laughed.
Gray was still unconvinced about such large expenditure and asked," Is the cost worth it?"
It was Mathew who answered," Of course it is worth it. In the growing stages of Pokemon the cost is very high, almost unaffordable by most people, but if they can sustain the pain for dime time, they can earn much more than that pretty easily.
With a pseudo legendary Pokemon in the team, not only the prestige rises greatly but the job options are also more. Even if they are t fully evolved, to find a job with a few hundred million a year isn't too difficult. If it is fully evolved, he may earn billions and the cost of lodging and everything could be bored by the employer also.
In the world of Pokemon, the more money is spent correctly, the more he earns in the future. Of course, most don't accelerate the growth but let them evolve on their own. And they spend at least ten years to completely evolve. "
They continued to talk about how the kids were the past days before this incident and Alex told them everything.
His Pokemons had fallen asleep on his body. And Gray told him," your pokemons have fallen asleep. You too should rest. You had a tight day today. We will be heading back too. Goodnight, Alex "
" Goodnight Alex" Mathew wished
" Goodnight, uncle Gray"
" Goodnight, Mathew" and he went back to his room.
There he first placed the Pokemons on the bed and then himself crashed down.
Follow me on Pat reon

Alex was currently flying towards the Oak laboratory on his newly evolved pidgeot. He could have teleported directly but decided against it as he needed some fresh air away from everything.
He was joined by the trio of Swablu still on his head, unaffected by air current, Pikachu who gripped his shoulder hard so as not to fly away and Dratini who had coiled itself around his neck.
Alex was thinking about what transpired this morning which led to his decision of going to the Pallet town.
---------------------------------------------------
Flashback ( in the morning)
Location: the Pokemon center, Solar Town
Alex woke up early and arrived at the restroom of Jim and Daisy to see how their condition were.
The parents of the duo were already there and from the voices he heard from inside the room, it seemed like they have woken up too.
The door was opened so he entered inside without hesitation.
Daisy and Jim saw Alex and asked,. " Alex, is Haunter alright?"
" Haunter? What is this about Haunter?"Jenny asked confused.
Then Daisy narrated what happened, " when we took our first task, we left to do the task with each other. Alex told that he won't follow.
On the way, we were attacked by two people. We fought and would have been completely crushed had it not for Haunter coming out to help.
He managed to subdue them but a Gengar and another ghost Pokemon came, and attacked. Haunter was able to fight them together. When they targeted my marill, haunter took the hit. He fainted afterwards."
The adults nodded understanding what they felt.
" Where did Haunter come out from?" Gray asked
" I asked the Haunter to hide in their shadow and appear only when they encounter problems they cannot take on." Alex clarified.
" So what are your plans now, Alex?" Mathew asked.
" How long are you going to stay with them?" Alex replied with a question of his own.
Mathew turned towards Gray who nodded at him regarding something," After this experience, both I and Gray came to the decision that the kids will return to Cerulean city and only after they are strong to a certain degree will we allow the kids to continue their journey. "
The kids tried to protest but Mathew ignored them and asked," So you have any problem with that, Alex?"
" Mnn.." Alex was thinking about something else but fortunately his pokemons did pay attention who repeated the question to him and he replied back," I think it is a good decision. The shadows are trying to set up a stronghold in Kanto but they are repulsed but they target young trainers to increase their ranks.
This situation is too dangerous for them to roam around, especially with their current strength. They even use advanced trainers to lead the kidnapping members in such a small town so you can understand just how dangerous things are now. "
Although it seemed like he was worried about their security and felt he cannot protect them properly in the future too, but there are some things Alex felt he had to do.
But the kids presence stopped his plans. But if they leave, he could continue to train himself seriously without worrying about anyones safety.
Learning that there might be future attempt to kidnap her daughter and her life may be in constant jeopardy, Daphne said without any hesistation with full determination to stay true to her words," I also agree. Daisy you will be heading back home right now this instant. Your pokemons can be sent back through the transponder to Cerulean city pokemon center. "
"But mom..." Daisy tried to protest but her mother's glare revealed she won't be hearing anything.
While Daisy gave up the protest, Jim wasn't willing to back down easily and even dragged Alex to the discussion.
" We... Umm... We cannot protect yourself well but Alex can protect us, can't he?" Jim tried to reason with them.
But even Alex stood on the opposite side said," A certain member of the shadows seem to like me a lot. And that person is pretty persistant, so I am targeted now. If you are welcome the me, not only I but you will be in danger. So until the shadows leave Kanto or your parents agree you are strong enough, don't travel around just yet. "
His words worked as dossing the flames of adventure in the kids worth water. After Alex joined the side of the parents, the only hope of the two aspiring trainers went down the drain.
Alex then bid farewell to them and left the Solar town.
-------------------------------+--------------------
After a few hours of flight, they can see the peripheral area of Pallet town. The reason it took them a few hours was because of how pidgeot had to move around the big town and cities so as not to violate the rules of airspace set by the Pokemon league.
This was really annoying but he had to do it. He can't always break the rules. Even Professor oak won't help him if he is caught Everytime without any special reasons.
As he neared pallet town,a Dragonite appeared in front of them stopping pidgeot from entering the pallet town air zone.
Dragonite watched the arriving flying Pokemon until his gaze landed on the trainer riding it. The one who ride the pidgeot was the trainer of her son.
She happily greeted them and wavd her hands at him.
" Hey, Dragonite. How are you doing?" Alex greeted," can we enter pallet town now?"
Dragonite gave them passage and flew beside them and replied," Drooo.." ( "I am fine. Tell me, how is Charmeleon doing?" )
Alex knows that no matter whether it is a human or Pokemon, a mother cares about her kids more than anything in the world. Her inquiry if Charmeleon wasn't much of a surprise to him.
He patiently answered her question,"Charmeleon is doing good. He had grown stronger in the past few months you last saw him. My visit this time is also related to him."
Dragonite was confused and asked,"Roo.." (" What do you mean, Alex?" )
" Charmeleon is strong. Stronger than most of his species. He is already at advanced peak due to the advanced grade Fire stone, Professor gave me.
He is already showing signs of evolution. He is getting more and more agitated, his energy is brimming to the full and his scales are turning harder.
All he needs is a good, long and taxing battle that can force out his power so he can evolve. He needs an opponent powerful than him but not too powerful than him. That pressure can make him gain his new powers. I wanted to ask Professor if there is a place he can get his long cherished battle.
Most places and people are either too weak to give him a good opponent or trainers are too powerful that he cannot battle hard. " Alex trailed on about how he wanted to let his Charmeleon fight and evolve him.
But Dragonite was worried about something, she inquired her child's trainer," Rooo...."(" He is still too young. Don't you think you are hurrying things with him. It may not do him good in the long run.") On hearing this, Alex felt a little sad which can be seen from his corner of the mouth lowering, and his brows raising.
Dragonite being an experienced pokemon knew the changes in the young trainer as soon as it's sign were evident and quickly revealed her fear,"Rooo.... Roo...aaaaa"(" I know you won't do something like this without a reason. I just want to know why you are doing it.
You are a trainer recognized by not only I and Samuel but also by Charizard. I am just worried for him. You should already know what will happen after he is a Charizard.")
Alex expression returned to normal after hearing her explanation. It wasn't that she doubted his ability, but wanted to know if it could be delayed as after his evolution, all the parental care of Charizard no matter how he refused to show off will be extinguished as his species does.
Charizard only care of his young till the Charmeleon stage in his territory. After that, if another Charizard invades his territory then he must mother submit and recognize his lordship over that area or he is killed for threatening him and his territory. Not even their own kids are immune to this.
Charmeleon was a proud Pokemon and there is no way he would submit after his evolution. This meant Dragonite chances of meeting her son was too low.
Although he understands her mind, Alex can't delay. " He was a member of the team before pidgeot here joined the team. Haunter was always his opponent ever since he joined the team. Now, he had become a Gengar and his powers are much greater than in his Haunter form.
The only chance to match him is evolving. If he fights Gengar and he certainly will, he will lose badly. That loss will only make him train hard. Harder than his body could handle. This will affect his future.
Charmeleon's pride won't let him accept a loss and when I say loss, mean ground breaking loss worth someone who was his rival and equal easily. No one can convince him otherwise, even if it is me.
So what I can do is help him grow stronger and take his inner belief into consideration and let him evolve as fast as possible. " Alex conveyed the reason behind the hasty evolution.
Dragonite was frustrated greatly on hearing it and was in remorse. When Alex told Charmeleon's nature, Charizard age came in her mind. She uttered to herself grumpily,"Drooo.." "( It is all that brute's fault. He is gonna get it." )
After that, they continued their path to Oak Laboratory backyard. When it was in vision, Alex could see Professor Oak, Blue, Daisy along with a beautiful brunette who may be Blue's wife Green. And in her arms was a young baby, Gary Oak.
His arrival with Dragonite made him the focus of everyone there.
As they landed, Samuel greeted him, " Good morning, Alex." And when he saw that Alex was looking curiously at his daughter in law, he introduced," Let me introduce to my daughter in law, Green Oak and my grandson, Gary Oak."
Alex met one of the rival of the chosen one, Ash Ketchum for the first time. Stay tuned.
