บท 242: Chapter 31
Alex and Bill were startled by the sudden arrival and shout from behind them. Hell, Pikachu, who stood on Alex's shoulders, have almost fell down his shoulder and into the sea.
If not for Alex catching him quickly, Pikachu may have fallen into the sea and either Swablu or pidgeot may have to dive below to pick him up.
This made Alex angry,he was very angry now. The anger openly radiated from him made Bill and Julius who sensed it unconsciously step away from Alex.
Elsa, on the other hand, has a victorious grin on her face, at the fact that she caught him at a time like this. She ignored Alex's changes and was in her thoughts. She thought to herself,'Now all I have to do is inform the captain about his rogue actions and he will be dumped on the next stop. This will teach him not to offend me in the future.'
She was so immersed in her future victory over Alex that she ignored the fact that Alex was walking towards him, but Julius did so he stood in front of her ready to bear his anger to protect the princess.
When Alex was a metre away from the duo he stopped. His face was devoid of any emotion and he only uttered one word," Apologize."
This brought her put if her thought and she almost shrieked on seeing Alex's face.
Julius who heard him apologized without a moment's delay, but Alex wasn't willing to let it go," Not you, her. Apologize to Pikachu now or I will throw you out of the cruise ship into the sea."
He was very angry and no word could convince Alex now.
Julius paled on hearing this, for he knows just how difficult it is for Princess Elsa to apologise, her proud character won't let her do it.
And it was true, for Alex words also ignited anger in Elsa's heart and she yelled at him," Do you have any idea whom you are talking to? Let me tell you, I am..."
Alex pulled her face near his face by grabbing her shirt and hissed at her,"I don't care who you are. Your action almost caused my Pikachu to fall into the sea, you better apologize to him right now or i will make you experience what he almost did."
Even though, Alex's scary face made Elsa afraid, she wasn't willing to back down and she retorted," What? Just because a rat almost died, you dare to do this to me. Just you wait..."
When Alex heard her words, he saw red, and in his anger he hurled her through the air out of the ship towards the ocean.
Bill and Alex's pokemons eyes widened on seeing this, while Julius shouted out," Princess" and as he saw her fall and disappear from his view he hurled a pokeball in the air.
Out came a fearow. Julius immediately shouted out the order,"Save the princess."
On hearing the command fearow dived down and gripped the princess by his claws.
As Julius walked towards the railing, Alex gripped his shoulder and bill could hear some sounds of bones cracking. Julius's painful expression showed that he wasn't hallucinating.
" Make your princess learn how to behave. She might be a princess in Almia, but here is Kanto. Now, she is just a young girl who can angry people who cannot be angered.
This was her first insult to my pokemon. Her actions threatened my Pokemon life so I taught her this lesson.
Next time, something like this happens and she doesn't apologize then there won't be any help or leniency from my part." Alex warned Julius and walked away. All of Alex's good mood went down the drain after this encounter.
Julius immediately grasped his hurt shoulder from which Alex released his hold.
His Pokemons followed behind him but not before giving Julius a stink eye. Bill also walks away but not before saying something. He reaches to Julius and whispers,"This is my cruise ship. No one would care of Alex did carry out this threat. You better teach her some manners. For these actions of hers may lead to her early death."
After that, Bill too walked away from the top deck towards his room.
Julius stood stunned for some time until fearow arrived with Elsa on her claws.
She dropped Elsa on the deck and sat by Julius curious about her trainer's sudden stillness.
Elsa who has recovered suddenly shouted out," Where is that brat? Where is he? Tell me Julius. This time I will really teach him some manners. Who dies he think he is, to treat a royalty from Almia like that."
Her shrieks brought Julius out of his shock and he warned his object of protection," I am sorry, your highness but we cannot do anything to him. It will not do well for us to antagonize someone like him, for we will suffer badly if we did so."
Elsa wasn't one to give up so easily and she challenged her guardian,"And why should we leave him be. Look what he did to me. He almost killed me and you are still trying to save him. Are you my guardian or his?"
Julius wasn't unperturbed by her declaration and calmly answered," Your highness, the fact that you didn't fell into the ocean is because he had his Espeon slow down your descent, and second of all it is your fault.
Because of you, his pokemon was in danger yet you didn't apologize and even irritated him further. We both are weaker than him in pure strength and even if we pursue this matter legally, we cannot win the case.
So it will be better not to anger him more than we already had." He tried to dissuade her attempts.
Elsa although didn't accept Julius's suggestion inquired," What I'd it about him that makes you so afraid? Why do you think he is stronger than us?"
Julius took a deep breath and explained," Your highness, before our departure we are given the information details about some of the strongest trainers around our age we might encounter.
For older ones won't do anything and league will issue sanction against those elders who bully us, but for people of our generation they won't involve in our things, until we are in danger or are out for each other's blood.
This is a secret agreement between Almia and the Pokemon league.
But that boy, no no... Man, whom you continue to anger is Alex Bart and he is the strongest trainer of his generation in the Pokemon league. This title isn't something which someone can pass on to anybody they want but it is earned.
And his title is an undisputed one without any challenge which shows just how strong he is compared to others.
Your highness, you might be the most skilled trainer in Almia, but you cannot even rank in the top 10 strongest of this generation, let alone challenge the undisputed leader of the generation. So please your highness, I beg of you don't pursue this matter and cause unnecessary problems for us and Almia at large."
Julius bent on his knees and begged the princess to follow his request which she did albeit reluctantly.
Of course, she hasn't given up on showing him his place and thought, 'There are four tournament going to happen during our stay, if he is as strong as Julius speaks, he will take part in one of them.
There I will defeat him and show everyone just how powerful Almia really is.'
Because Julius head was bowed down he didn't notice the glint, but Fearow did and he just shook his head in dismay.
Back with Alex and company,
Alex along with his pokemons and Bill are currently walking towards the port side of the ship where their rooms are located.
This time, Alex face possessed a smile which is completely different from that at the top deck. And he even rubbed Pikachu under the chin who enjoys this treatment.
Bill who knows all the reasons about the previous actions asked," Is it really necessary to act like that with the Princess. Hell, we even threatened her. You know this might lead to a diplomatic situation."
Alex didn't seem to care about the words of Bill and completely ignored her. Bill doesn't like this. He stopped walking and shouted," Hey don't ignore me. I know you aren't someone who do things without a reason so why are you doing this?"
" To make her angry at me. " Alex replied without turning to look at Bill and continued walking.
Bill became even more curious and run to catch up to Alex and asked,"what do you mean?"
The two has arrived at their room. Alex entered his room with Bill following behind.
Alex and Bill took their seat on the sofa present on the room while the Pokemons went off to rest in the bed
While seated he started speaking," Before, I came here old man Oak gave me a task. It was to curb the pride of the princess of Almia a little and show her just how big the world really is. Her grandfather was Professor Oak friend and he doesn't want her to cause problem for her family in her overconfidence.
So he asked me to completely crush her and show just how far she is from possessing any real strength.
But, with the amount of pride he has she won't take part in the tournament , and even if she did it would be without any enthusiasm and she won't go all out.
My previous actions would make her want to put me in place and she would participate in them with full preparation. So now, all I have to do is crush her and my task is done." Alex explained his actions to him.
Bill just shook his head and said," You can be sneaky if you want to be."
Alex simply replied," Hey my teacher is an old fox. So if I don't show even this much sneakiness, then what merit do I have to be his student?"
