Bab 75: Joining the laboratory
Oak said," The thing is our laboratory doesn't sponsor many trainers. Hell there are only two trainers sponsored by us. They are Red and Blue beside you.
You joining us will also make you an integral part of the powers of Kanto."
He pointed at his son and at Red. He continued," The thing is we don't know how to do it. Even the people who get the pokemons from here aren't allowed to join us until a criteria is reached.
Blue mentioned that if we directly let you join us it will cause problems.
Although I am not afraid of it it would be better not to have them at all. So that is why we had a battle earlier.
Your arrival as well as our battle will help us in this respect. "
"So that's why you challenged me." Alex said
"Yes. You are already high profiled person especially with your friendship with Lance and Lorelei
From them, the news have spread about your skills and many high level members want you to join them. But the news that you join us wasn't taken seriously because we don't allow many.
If this battle wasn't revealed, they will act behind scenes." Red said
" And what do I need to do now?" Alex asked
" You need to have at least an king level pokemon in five years. This is of utmost importance." Blue said
" You don't have to worry. Whatever you want we will provide but you should have an elite level at all cost. " Samuel stressed.
" Why? What makes you worry about it?" Alex asked
" In five years times, there will be a youth tournament between the seeded trainers of all regions of the alliance. That's why you need to become stronger soon." Red answered his questions.
" What is this youth tournament? Why is it taking place?"He asked another question.
" In recent years, every region has some very skilled trainers who are seen as the next generation of leaders.
In Kanto there is Lorelei and Sabrina
Johto has Lance and Bruno,
Hoenn has Steven stone and Wallace
Sinnoh has Aaron, Flint, Lucian, Cynthia
Unova has Shauntal and Caitlin
Kalos has Siebold, Diantha and Sycamore
These are some of the seeded people. They are the ones who will lead the next generation of Pokemon Alliance.
And with your performance, you are now the head of these young trainers."
Blue explained.
"When did I become the leader?" Alex asked puzzled by this statement. All the names mentioned are the elite four and champion of the different regions.
" You, Alex Bart are unlike them. All of them has a backing since their childhood and they are trained since then. They are provided the best resources and their pokemons are given the best food as well as training under skilled trainers.
While you Alex before were not provided these. All the resources and training was what you yourself got and reached this level.
So most considered you the best among all. There will be some people who will try to get your information or even stop you from reaching your peak.
Now with our presence you won't have to worry about death threats but in the black market you will probably has a reward." Blue explained his situation.
" But I don't want to be a champion or leader. o just want to explore." Alex said strongly.
" Kanto has remained the strongest since my time. This hasn't changed and this time the high number of geniuses in each region is much more than previous times so they hoped they could surpass us and Lorelei and Sabrina though powerful aren't even in top 5 so they thought they won.
But now your appearance made them feel humongous pressure of you. You are an embodiment of us.
Our very existence have always kept them in check against Kanto. Although we are all allies but it is built on premise that a Chief is elected among us.
Charles is the undisputed president because he has our backing and support as well as his own powers.
Now your presence has reassured our throne for the next generation. Now you are the leader whether you want or not.
You should accept it." Samuel said
" And why should I do it? I don't even want a part of this and I can just admit defeat or not even participate in this game of powers?" Alex directly said.
" You are already a member of it the moment your powers and abilities are revealed.
As for you leaving the battle, you won't do it " Samuel said confidently.
" And why won't I leave?"
" Because you Alex Bart are a warrior. You will never back down from a challenge." Samuel said and continued," I saw that warrior look in the eyes. You can lose but you won't admit defeat.
You will face your difficulties instead of running from them. And you are excited by this tournament too.
You want to test your mantle against them. You are a battle maniac, aren't you?"
Samuel said.
Alex just remained quiet about it because he too felt this too. He was excited about facing them especially Cynthia and Diantha who were the strongest trainers of their age.
Alex then said," Fine. I will join the tournament too and raise my Pokemon at the king level too."
Samuel then said," Then we welcome you to Oak Laboratory."
Alex has joined the laboratory and he will battle the elite four and champion of the future. Next chapter will state Alex's Fame in other regions. Stay tuned
