章 271: Chapter 8 Cynthia vs Elsa

While following August to the clearing, the other boy who arrived with Cynthia and August while the group wait for August has introduced himself as Lucian.

After hearing his name, Alex remember a little about an elite four with Cynthia having the same name as this boy.

He is Lucian, future elite four psychic leader of Sinnoh Pokemon League.

He is a purple haired boy with glasses on. He also have purple eyes and Alex could feel the psychic energy in his eyes. It seems his psychic powers has changed the original eye colour to purple.

" So you are Alex Bart from Kanto, I heard so much about." Lucian greeted Alex with these words.

Alex who is still unaware about his fame in the other regions scratched his head, completely confused and said, " You know me?"

Lucian is surprised by the fact that he isn't aware about his fame.

Bill also was confused on his discovery. He asked his friend," You don't know how popular you really are, do you Alex?"

" Am I really popular?" Alex asked them.

" You aren't popular among the common people and low level official of the league, but people who are at the top as well as the top trainers at least know about your existence." Bill explained it to him.

" As for how I know who you are, I know that Cynthia is one of the strongest there is, yet the fact that you can subdue her especially when she is angry along with your age reveals your identity." He said while looking at Alex's eyes deeply he continued," After all, you are the one, who is the undisputed strongest trainer of this generation or so I heard from the others."

Although Lucian said this, his tone showed he doesn't seem to believe those words and wished to confirm this.

Normally Alex would have no objections about a quick battle but the fact that he wishes to get a Togepi along with August's revelation of a possible future test made him vigilant.

He wants his pokemons to be in full health for the next upcoming test, so this battle can be averted for later.

Alex said," If you wish to confirm whether this title is true or just an exaggeration you may have your battle, but it has to wait.

August needs me for something and I want to be at 100 per cent for that time. After that thing is settled, I will be ready for you." Alex didn't seem affected by Julian ridiculing his title and anything.

He simply wishes for a proof and Alex can make sure that he gets his proof and make sure no one else will doubt his strength. It is also that Alex feels he doesn't want to lose in front of others especially in front of the recently met future champion Cynthia and the Almia princess Elsa.

" It seems we may have another battle at hand after they fight. it seems your battle maniac nature affects the people around you, Alex." Aurea joked about Alex.

" Indeed. You should have seen his brother and sister, they have contest among themselves. When I asked them why did they have so many competition, do you know what they say to me?" Bill said with mirth in his eyes.

Everyone ears were focused on Bill wishing to hear some personal details about the strongest trainer of their generation while August just wish to know by inferring from it, what his true nature is so he can decide how to test him.

" It is something Alex taught them. He told them that this way they can find who is the better one without fighting and settle their dispute.

They keep record for their contests and every time their fight escalates a certain limit these record help settle the things between them, without any dispute." Bill said.

" Who knew you can solve things without a fight and even so peacefully." Elsa said with wonder in her tone.

They have mostly seen Alex deal with things either by threat, his pressure or by a battle, never once did they see him handle things peaceful. So this peaceful solution made them surprised.

Alex didn't seem to like these looks and said, " Hey I can judge pretty easily who can be reasoned with and who cannot. I don't want to waste my time reasoning with someone who can't be reasoned.

Isn't that right, Espeon?" Alex asked his psychic quadruple Pokemon.

She nods in agreement with his words since she has often seen him handle things peacefully. Her trainer wasn't always acting like a brute.

Emolga, Minccino feel that she might be joking and asked her, " Hey is it really true?"

" Of course. Do you think I will let him act like a brute all the time and not the head. " She said while giving them a contempt glare to the two for saying that she said a lie.

They ducked their head on their trainer shoulder fearing they might invite her wrath.

The trainer just laughed at the little episode among their pokemons and didn't put much thought to it.

While they talked among themselves, they have arrived at the clearing a little from August's house.

After reaching it, August said to everyone,"Since Alex and Cynthia have something to do after this, we won't be having a long battle. This will only be a one on one battle and the winner will be decided when I said it is over.

Now both the trainers take your place."

Elsa and Cynthia stood face to face with a 20 metre space between the two. The two exhibit complete hostility which Alex knows nothing about.

" I still don't know why they are fighting now?" Alex said and everyone heard him clearly.

Everyone gave the genius trainer a deadpanned look knowing directly or indirectly he was the cause, yet he seem to be who is unaware of his involvement. Even Espeon and Eevee gave him similar looks.

They decides to ignore him and continue with the battle.

Cynthia and Elsa sent their pokemons out at the same time with their characteristic catchphrase.

" Battle stance, Gabite" for Cynthia

" Fight Well, Ninetails" for Elsa.

On release a shark headed dragon Pokemon and a Ice type Pokemon reveals itself.

They are Gabite and Alolan Ninetails.

Gabite is a medium-sized, bipedal dragon-like Pokémon that is primarily blue. Its underside is light blue, with red covering it from the middle of its abdomen to the bottoms of its jaw. Gabite has two appendages that resemble Jets or plane engines extending out the side of its skull. Each appendage has a blue stripe.

It has four fins, one on each arm, one on its back and another on its tail. The back fin has a notch on it for the male. It has spikes on its hind limbs, and sharp claws on its feet. Its eyes black scleras and gold colored irises.

Ninetales from alola has a different appearance. Its coat is pale blue, and its fur is more flowing and wispier. This tips of its tails and crest, as well as the lower halves of its legs, are white. The crest on its head is longer and its nine tails are less distinct from each other. Finally, it has larger eyes, which are blue, and small tufts of fur in front of its ears.

The two Pokemon sensed their trainers emotions and are ready to rumble.
