Pokemon - A Mystical Journey

Alex thought that he was leading them away from the main topic and protected himself from his family"s wrath and the future serious talks he was sure to get. But, in the end he was the one who was led out.

" So Alex can you please tell us the truth?" Gwen asked with a hint of pleading in her voice.

Alex who was standing, walks up to a chair and sat on it with a heavy sigh.

" Truth isn"t always a good thing, mom. There is a reason some truth shall never see the light." He tried to be secretive.

" But no matter how much someone tried to hide the truth,it will come to light someday. This is also an eternal truth." His father countered his previous argument.

" I cannot refute this statement."Alex conceded in the end and started to narrate the story from the start,"When facing the Gengar, I lost in that battle. He defeated electabuzz easily but he didn"t continue to fight. "

" Why? Why did he do it?" Arthur asked since he felt because Gengar started the fight it was odd that he stopped midway.

" It is all thanks to you, dad." Alex said but Arthur doesn"t know what he meant by that. So to clear his doubt,Alex continues,"Because after learning from Dad, I was going to face a Gengar from the pokemon tower, Professor oak sent one of his pokemons to oversee the whole situation.

He must have felt the presence of professor oak. and he didn"t continue to fight me. After all, even if Gengar is strong, he cannot match the monsters under Professor Oak." He said with a hint of yearning in his tone. Alex wishes to have similar Pokemons with him.

Alex eyes suddenly shone and his eyes were brighter than before. Michael who saw that look felt Alex may have another trip under his sleeve,and became vigilant. " But there was another reason he followed me. It was the pokecube i made for my Pokemons." Alex said to his parents and grandpa.

" Is there something special about the pokecube you make?" Michael asked his grandson. He thought to himself," What is so special about them that he feels he can escape from us when we got him trapped?"

This question put Alex in sone thoughts. He felt he can tell his family about the origin of pokecube as well as some other secrets of his but then he restrained himself as he felt it may put his family in peril. But, the fear of scolding from his family made him reveal it to them.

Seeing Alex expression, Michael, Arthur and Gwen understood that it was something big or else Alex won"t hide things from them.

Alex was mature enough and if things were too complicated he didn"t like to involve other people in his matters. And this situation seemed similar to those times. These were the thoughts of the elders of the family.

Gwen tried to say," If it is a very big thing, you don"t need to tell us. But can you give us a clue why you can"t tell us."

Alex took a deep breath and and started," The thing regarding the pokecube involves two very important secrets of mine. It isn"t that i don"t want to tell you, but the second one is a bit complicated.

If that things comes to light before I am strong enough then we, and I mean everyone in the family including Ben and Clara , would be in a problem.

And we would have to reside in the Pallet town. If anyone of us leave that place, we would have many people after us just for the sake of information that second secret rekates to." He said cryptically.

These words turned the face of every one grave.

" Is the secret so big amd dangerous?" Arthur asked both curious and frightened at the same time.

" It is not that the secret is big, but It is the Pokemon whom this is related to which makes it difficult for ordinary people to involve in. " Alex told them seriously and then started with his secret.

" I had encountered a fortune while travelling. Because of this I unlocked aura and became an aura user.

My pokecube are created with the application of aura which increase their efficiency and effectivity." To prove his words regarding aura, he even created a small aura sphere on his hands.

This secret shocked them and their eyes widened when they saw the aura sphere in his hands, Gwen asked with excitement evident on her eyes," So you are an aura guardian?"

" Technically , Yes" was all he could mumbled before he was swept in the air by his pregnant yet surprisingly powerful mother and she shouted,"My son is a aura guardian of the legends. He is now a member of the legends. He is a hero."

Alex had to bear his mother"s enthusiasm until his father came forward to free him from his mother"s grip.

Alex after having freed by his father looked at him for the reason behind her sudden outburst. She seemed to have lost in her own mysterious and fantasy world.

Arthur just shook his head and the answer that he wanted came from his grandpa. He said," let"s just say that your mother is a great enthusiast of Aura guardian and she always wanted to meet one.

She had hopes that you too could be one so she fought with your father and with the help of Professor Oak procurred the Riolu egg.

She is too happy because her dream came true. Now, let"s just wait until she calms down and you could continue."

Alex facial expression turned blank when he heard that and he shook his head. He just sat down on his chair and waited for his mother to calm down. He now have doubts whether some enthusiasm of his family is true or false.

Last time it was his grandpa who was happy with his master trainer status and now his mother as a aura guardian one. But, Alex still has his ultimate weapon on him.

Both Arthur and Michael knew that if they let Gwen start now she would only question about his aura guardian news and things related to it so Arthur motioned for Alex to continue,. " This secret is closely related to the second and it is much graver . If it comes to light we will be facing the attacks from all the dark organization in the world. " This froze the initial warm atmosphere and everyone was curious about it. Since Alex mentioned so much he would reveal a little about it at the very least.

Alex motioned towards Slowking who nodded back and a psychic barrier surrounds them. It has isolated them completely from the outside. No sound can enter or escape from this barrier.

The non trainer parents may not know but Michael knows how powerful and special such a barrier is. It takes much toll on psychic Pokemons and they often sleep for weeks to recover from this level of stressful barrier.

" What is the second secret that you go to such lengths to prevent even a slight chance of leak,Alex?" Michael asked and his eyes hardened revealing a glimpse of the advanced trainer he once was in his prime.

This gaze made the parents divert their eyes from Michael but it wasn"t much effective for Alex.

Alex looked right into his Grandpa eyes not the least bothered by his sharpened gaze.

" I gained my aura powers through Mew." Was all he could say after which a loud " WHAT" followed by a body falling on the floor was heard.

Alex has used his secret weapon Mew. How will his parents react ? stay tuned.
