Chương 2: Starter
After entering the room he saw a middle-aged male sitting in the table in front of him. The man introduced himself as Jude and talked to Alex rudely," Come quickly and get your registration going. Many more have to do it today. Don't waste others time."
and also sneered ," Damm county bumpkins wasting time. How unlucky I was to be assigned this task." Hearing Jude Alex went up to him and stood up. Jude then said," Put your hand on this pad it will take your finger print as your biometric and officially get yourself registered as a rookie trainer. I hope I don't have to explain the hierachy of trainers do I? "
To this he replied," Yes I know."
The hierachy of trainers was not mentioned in the game but do exist in reality as we distinguish between lower class middle class and upper class and VIP and other aspects in reality. In the Pokemon world every trainer begins from the stage of rookie. At this level one is qualified to get free healing in Pokemon center and a lodgings of about 100 days a year altogether in the Pokemon centre.
Also in the shops of Pokemon center one can buy low grade potions, antidotes and other minial application. Of course if one's Pokemon is very badly injured then cost of the surgery and recovery etc all come out of the pocket of the trainers.
the grading helps as discount rate for treatment. The hierachy of Pokemon trainer is as follows:
a) Rookie trainer
b)Beginner trainer
c) Intermediate trainer
d)Advanced trainer
e)Master Trainer
f) Elite level trainer
g) Elites
This is the level of trainer popularly circulated. The Elites in the ranking regarded as the top as this is position of Elites 4 of each league. So many still yearn for it and follow it. Though Alex thought there might be other levels too but could not know now as he was weak.
Yes our hero here is of the belief that if you are weak the less you know the better and as you grow stronger you will know more. So this is the reason for his journey, it is not to be the champion or elite but to sate his curiosity about the world and learn more and discover the unknown. Now he is similar to a young kid curious about everything but he is not fearless like a kid but knows the danger so he wanted to be stronger so that he could protect himself and his family and dear ones.
Thinking all this he put his hands on the biometric scanner and then his data and information was uploaded in the Pokemon league server then a card similar to voter ID or credit card with one's photo name and the other data about his level was uploaded in the bar scanner strip. Then Jude the uploader asked him to pick up one of the ten pokeballs placed in front and said," Each pokeballs has a Pokemon since you chose the lottery system so your Pokemon will be random. In this you will pick any one of these ten and that will be your starter. You have only one chance and you could pick anything from a widely found Caterpie, Weedle , pidgey or a rare Scyther. So this is mostly based on your luck."
If it was anyone else he would yearn for a rare Pokemon but our hero follow the saying of one of the greatest comic writer of all times, One piece author,Eiichiro Oda about his devil fruits that,' THERE IS NO WASTE FRUIT BUT ONLY WASTE USER." Similarly the trainer believes ," THERE IS NO WASTE POKEMON BUT ONLY WASTE TRAINER." He believes if he found a Caterpie the he could evolved it I'm to Butterfree and with it's psychic and bug type and his innovative knowledge ( knowledge from different anime and manga) he could still train it at least to battle the main team of gym leaders and with that strength he could still capture some strong Pokemon.
After some thought he picked a Pokemon marked as number 7 as he believes that numerically 7 is both lucky and strong number.
Then Jude said ," So you chose number 7 then let me upload it to your profile then . Hmm.. number 7 ok so the Pokemon which will be your starter is....
well kid you lucked out. you got this as your starter at least with it you could at least become an intermediate level trainer in the future. Well then move along." Thanking Jude Alex went out .
There his father was anxiously waiting for him and seeing Alex , Arthur asked," Tell me what is your starter ? is it ok? is it strong? I knew I shouldn't have listened to you and should have paid more so you could get stronger Pokemon instead of in a lottery." Seeing his father babbling he smiled and renarked," Dad I got a great starter and let's go out do I could contact him and I could show him to you."
" Ok then hurry up, we don't want it to be anxious and have a bad impression of you by ignoring it."
Both father and son headed at the back of the center where many new rookie trainers showed their starter to their trainers. He saw some had Rattata as starter some had Pidgey some had Nidoran and he also saw one with a rare Abra. Then he looked at his pokeball and said," Don't worry we will surpass them all. Now come out my starter." As he threw the pokeball a being come out from the ball a Pokemon which was dark sphere (its "head") surrounded by light purple gas. Gastly has large, white eyes and a large mouth with a small pair of fangs. it was a ghastly. it was a ghost and poison type whose completely evolved form was a main pokeball of elite 4 trainer Agatha.
When his father saw the Pokemon he immediately said," At least you could become an intermediate trainer" while other close by parents looked at the Pokemon and said jealousy," How lucky at least he could be an intermediate trainer"
" I wish my child could have this Pokemon too."
"yeah so lucky."
While Alex just ignored all others and looked at the ghastly in his eyes and he too was eyeing him. After looking at each other Alex finally started," Will you look around yourself ghastly you became a celebrity. but are you satisfied with their ideas ghastly." To this the gas Pokemon look at him puzzled about what does he meant and asked him," Gha..gha... ghastly"
"they all believe you could at most be a Haunter are you satisfied with it ."
To this ghastly immediately shook it's head replied "ghha"
"Good then it seems you have an ambition to say the least. then ghastly I too have an ambition to seek out and find more adventure in this dangerous world are you ready for the journey against all odds , huh Ghastly. Lets take our journey to the top of the world and see how it looks like as the strongest trainer and strongest Gengar " Alex asked grinningly. Hearing him say such words proudly everyone there even his own father looked at him funnily .
Many who were jealous of him ridiculed him by saying," Look he couldn't even walk and want to run."
" Man I couldn't stop laughing hahahaha . maybe he should drop out and become a comedian instead. "
" You will only die miserably out there."
But still there were a few who watched him intently. they looked at him as if he was a ghost and one such person thought,' There might be another trainer who will herald this era.' This man was Blaine . He disguised himself and was traveling to catch or find a Pokemon which interest him but seeing someone so young and declaring such bold words he was stunned and thought to what level could this little devil grow up to.
He was really looking forward to his future. Now I could only see if his ghastly too has the ambition to support him. If it too had such belief then after a decade or two we would have an elite level trainer. As he too believes he could only be a elite level at most and not higher as he is restricted by his linage as a civilian background and he could not support his Pokemon as accurate.
At the same time Ghastly looked at Alex as he himself was stunned . He grew up listening various stories about many powerful Gengar in history from his caretaker and he too hoped to be a Gengar one day so it reputed his earlier sentence of stopping at Haunter as he learned to be a Gengar .
But he could not think he could become strongest of all Gengar as some story seem very unrealistic. When he heard it's trainer declaration it thought it's trainer was mad and he thought of leaving him. But after seeing his eyes he completely forgot his previous thought, he saw wild ambition and a desire to head over any obstacles which might come in his path. He saw Pure certainity in his belief and influenced by him replied positively to him.
Then Alex once again said," Then let's start our journey today partner and turn this world upside down and let this world engrave our names in the annals of the pokemon world history. "
With this bold declaration start the journey of a trainer who started his whole new chapter in the history of Pokemon world and immortalised his names to be sung for years to come .
To be continued....
