บท 35: The three questions

In presence of Fang, none of them could relax. All of them froze on spot even their Pokemons aren't able to move a muscle completely frozen overwhelmed by the aura of

Fang.

Even though He was smiling, his aura wasn't that matching his face. It was that of a blood thirsty predator locking his eyes on it's prey and can attack it at any time.

Alex had once heard a rumour while he was in his hometown, that a man once stopped the rampage of gyrados just by looking at them and calming them and was able the save a town from it's imminent danger. He thought he was either a psychic or it was his pokemon which helped him out. And after experiencing the pressure that the elite officer gave them he now knew that all those rumours were true.

This time he was feeling like he was on a boat in a stormy sea and could be submerged in water at any instant. Now he knew why even extremely strong Pokemon needed an equally strong trainer to control because of his aura one gets as one get stronger.

This aura is generated as one get stronger and based on the experiences he had and it manifests in the person and forms accordingly.

A Killer has a murderous aura and the more he murders or experience similar circumstances the more heavier it become. A fire type trainer slowly manifests a fiery aura and may seem that the surrounding temperature got higher.

He once heard that the Ice type trainer Pierce had a frosty aura both from his life and from his pokemon type.

After some time they were able to get accustomed to his aura and finally they began to slowly move their muscles and fingers. Seeing them able to move freely, Fang smiled at them," Impressive. To think you can overcome the oppressiveness of my presence. I can see why the leader placed such importance to you all. you all are really skilled. And the fact that you could reach here without any injury on yourself too, I am really impressed. You all can probably be the executive of the Shadows and even be our Leader one day. Ah the benefits we would get for recruiting you all will be great. So I will answer one question for each of you?"

Alex furiously thought,' Why did we have to think about it ? Now we have to face him. Now what do we do? We can only drag him till the league comes here.'

Alex asked him," What do you mean by executive and the leader? and why are you so respectful to them?"

This attracted the attention of Lance and Lorelei. They both looked at him quizzing that why was he asking him such questions. Facing their gaze he looked at them as if saying, ' Believe me.'

This person, Fang happened to think they weren't his opponent so he was relaxed. So he was very talkative and was willing to explain them about some facts about the shadows.

It was similar to a senior student or staff in a school explaining the rules and regulations to his junior. " Since you asked this then as your awesome senior let me explain it to you. The hierachy of the shadows have distinct classes. Each class had a low, intermediate, advanced categories. The low end of class comprises:

a) the low level grunt, the one who attended you when you were captured.

b) the squad leader whom you probably faced. You know the one who was stronger than the other members when you faced."

Hearing this they nodded . They remembered that they faced a few squads and each had some who was much stronger that other members of the squad.

Then he continued,"and the peak of them is

c) A captain : They lead a number of squads and are the leaders. They are the ones who lead an operation of the shadows at ground. You are following me"

They nodded.

"Then the intermediate level comprises of:

a)Commander: They oversee the different captains.

b) Elite officers: This is the position we are in. We are mostly present at the headquarters and are the ones who lead different factions and department.

c) The Elite: They are the ones who are head of departments. We also have a one who is leading the Mission here.

And the last the advanced levels are:

a) Chief of Division : They are the ones who are looking after a region or district of the Nation(from now on the different regions will be regarded as Nations , such as Kanto , Johto, Hoenn , etc)

b) The Executive : They are the ones who lead quadrant ( cardinal direction) of the Nation. They are not more than 16 in number. Your skills show that if you survive you could at least become This strong.

and the last of the advance is:

c) The director: There are only three directors. They are the strongest in the shadows second only to the leader. They are able to contend with the Elite fours of the league."

This surprised them about the strength of the shadows. As they could see how capable they are.

Seeing their surprised faxes he laughed loudly and told something that shocked them all. " "The most important thing about the directors is that if any one of the executive could take them out or defeat them, they can become the director themselves."

This shocked them. To know that if one wants to be an Elite he must make enough contribution to the league but here anyone strong enough could take that position.

"Isn't this interesting? Hahaha."

This time Lorelei asked her question," Why did you catch us ?"

" Oh our cute little redhead wants to know why she was kidnapped. Of course it us to recruit you ."

"Recruit? if you want to recruit why kidnap?"

"No no no . You could only ask one question. Now you other redhead you ask your question?"

Lance asked after some thoughts," Where are you going to take us after this?"

"Now you asked the right questions. Only you and that other boy are smart.Now listen. We the shadows have a recruiting exam. All the trainers caught by the shadows are transported to Nightmare island. There you will be left alone with a Pokemon which we will give you with a week of ration. "

"Why?" Lance hurriedly asked.

"I am telling brat. Don't interrupt ." Glaring at Lance this froze him solid.

"We don't want waste only fighters. You will stay there for three years and perform different tasks for more ration and pokeball. it is a survival round. Every two months there will be contest and the loser dies. Also the Pokemon living there are Savage. The Pokemon are wild. They also kill humans who disturbed them. They are also used to cut down the numbers. The trainer had to catch them, tame the Pokemon on the island trai. then survive. We give all the parties equal opportunity and all are based on their efforts. Aren't we more kind than the league? Hahaha haha. "

Hearing this they were stunned.

Now that they know why they were kidnapped and what awaits them there? So what will they do now and how will they overcome the obstacle in front that seemed unbeatable.
