章 283: Chapter 18
After August revealed it, they all stepped back and sat there quietly while looking at the boy who will be entering the hell.
All of them are the elite team of August, his strongest. Pidgeot, fearow, Charizard, Togekiss, Xatu, altaria, crobat are the strongest Pokemon August have.
Whenever August visit that place, he will take them with him. Although not the strongest elite four of his time, he was one of the strongest, yet that place was too much for him.
The place where even a herd of Rattata or beedrill is enough to deal with them. A place where everything and anything out there is capable of killing you.
But, it is also the treasure trove for people. There are many things which can help mankind and Pokemons alike, but the dangers are what prevent the others from reaching out to it.
The survival percentage for advanced trainers is 5 per cent, master trainer is 12 per cent, elite level trainers is 30 per cent while the champions is depending on the places they visit.
As they visit deeper, their chances of survival drops drastically.
From the original 70 per cent, it fall to 50 per cent, 40 per cent, to as low as 10 per cent.
The terror of that place still reside in these pokemons whole they recount the past events in that place.
While they were nostalgic, Elsa and Cynthia both have passed their test. They are slowly coming to senses for their eyes stopped revolving around, their slow breathe returning to normal and finally their fingers started moving a little.
When they fully recovered, they heard August's voice, " Congratulations, Elsa, Cynthia you both have passed your test. And, at the same time too." He said happily.
They turned to the source of this familiar voice. August sat on the small topographically elevated piece of land with togekiss and other flying Pokemons like Charizard, fearow, pidgeot, crobat and altaria.
When he said they passed at the same time though they turned to look at each other.
While turning to each other, their eyes fell in a still Alex, an unconscious Gengar, a Eevee whose eyes were set on Alex while she also continued to talk with an odd Togepi who sat on the unconscious body of Gengar.
This Togepi seem to possess a permanent scowl on his cute face.
They felt something was wrong and fingered their pokeball ready to fight their way out while standing guard over Alex's still body.
As for why they did it, Elsa and Alex are close friends after they are down with their act of rivalry and borderline enemy behavior. She isn't going to.leave her friend behind.
Meanwhile, Cynthia is a heroic woman. She isn't willing to leave people behind and escape.
So, the situation came to this moment.
" What is going on here, August?" Elsa spoke or more like ordered August to speak up. She has a nasty look on her face which is accompanied by an angry frown and slightly red eyes.
Similarly, Cynthia reaction isn't so intense but she also has an angry look on her face, along with one of betrayal from the looks of it.
August and his pokemons were amused with actions and laughed at them.
Though August didn't outright laugh, his Pokemons were not so controlled.
August walks up to them rising from his position among his Pokemons, but the two kids didn't lower their guard even once.
August just arched his eyebrows but didn't say anything about it.
" Don't mind them. They are just teasing you. Alex here is being tested so he is in this state. " He explained it to them calmly so that times doesn't go as violent as it did with Gengar.
They accepted this reply for they did have a test, but this doesn't mean that it is enough. Gengar is unconscious.
" But what about this Gengar? Why is Alex's Gengar knocked out?" Cynthia asked.
August brushed his long white beard and continued to explain it to them," Unlike you both who have lowered their guard around me and seem to trust me completely, Alex wasn't so easily convinced.
He had his Gengar hide in his shadows and have him act if I put you lot in jeopardy." He looks at them to see if they were following him so far or not.
" Wait, Gengar can hide in the shadows?" Cynthia asked unaware of this fact, same was the case with Elsa.
So August decided to explain a bit about ghost type pokemons to the two of the powerful trainers, " Each ghost pokemons have a certain area which keeps them unique and different from other ghost pokemons.
The ineffective nature of physical attacks as well as a certain unique power different from elemental powers is the criteria for their ghost type selection.
Gengar have shadow power, Dusknoir have spirit power, Mismagius have illusion. So Gengar can hide in the shadows making them one of the top Pokemons capable of both assassination and protection.
Alex seem to do it when he is in a completely unfamiliar place, where the danger can come out from any place. "
The girls understood why he is here, when their pokemons were in the pokeballs but they still don't know why he is knocked out.
August can see what is going on in their mind. So he explained it to them, " As for why he is knocked out, he is just as impulsive as you." Their eyes twitched multiple times on hearing it.
Then he corrected himself, " he is even more impulsive than you. At least woman has some semblance of calm before a fight. We men directly start the fight when we are situations like this without giving the other any moment of chance to explain how it happened " he then started laughing after explaining the mind of men.
This calmed them down since he also complimented woman for their calm mind at these situations.
Their frown turn to smile as soon as they heard it and then asked, " So we passed the test?" Cynthia asked with barely contained happiness in her face.
August nodded saying that they did pass.
Cynthia and Elsa hugged each other excited and circle around while squealing in happiness.
They shouted together in excitement and joy, " Yay, I got a Togepi", " I have got a Togepi."
Eevee and Togepi who were talking together while looking at the frozen body of Alex, turn towards them, while Togepi was confused, mew being infected by their happiness left Alex's side without second thoughts, and circled around them.
The girls upon seeing the Eevee which moved around them, pulled her in a joint hug and continued to celebrate.
Soon a groan came. The source of groan mutters, " can you please stop squealing? my head hurts. Ahhh" he said while holding his head.
The girls then to look at the source of the groan who dared to interrupt their joy.
It was Alex. It seems he also passed his test just a few minutes later than them.
While Cynthia and Elsa doesn't know what he experienced in it, they thought they one upped and tried to tease him.
" Oh, did Mr. Bart came across a hurdle he cannot overcome and lost to the two young ladies as awesome as ourselves. " Elsa mocked him.
" Now, now, Elsa, don't be so harsh on him. He is sad that he lost to sweet, soft and beautiful girls like us. He is just a sore loser." Cynthia joined her in this.
August on the other hand was shell shocked. These two girls don't know just how serious the situation with Alex could have been, but he knows just how serious the case can be.
His Pokemons felt something off about the current scenario.
His senses told me things aren't good and it came true.
Alex has held his head in pain and his eyes weren't open. But when he opened his eyes to look at them, every human and Pokemon felt like they are drenched in the ice cold water while cold winds blew.
Accompanying the sensation of cold is a very strong killing intent which almost sent the girls into hyperventilation, if not for August appearing in front of them to protect them from it.
August looks up to see Alex's eyes blood red which has no semblance of mercy on them. It is one of pure destruction and killing.
