When the sun rose the next day, Alex is also forced to rise from his bed because of the rigorous shaking and loud shouts of his brother and sister, Ben and Clara respectively." Big brother wake up"
" Big brother wake up"
" If you don"t wake up and head downstairs ..." Ben started
" .... Mom won"t let us eat the chocolate cake she made for us." While Clara ended his words.
" Let me sleep" Alex mumbled amd then crashed his head onto the pillow while laying on the bed on his stomach and covering his head with a second pillow.
When the twins saw that their shaking wasn"t working and so they turned to look at each other hoping the other might have some way. And then they both came to the same conclusion, they jumped on Alex.
But they never landed as they were frozen midair courtesy of the water psychic pokemon, Slowking who hadn"t left his position since last night saved them.
Earlier, Slowking just looked at the twins trying to wake up their elder brother from his sleep but not one of their ways was effective.
So they finally decided to jump on Alex so he would have to wake up or the pain from their jumping may force him to wake up.
But just as they almost reached Alex, Slowking noticed the subconscious movement of Alex arms glowing blue with aura and ready to destroy the attacker as soon as he enters his attacking range.
The attack may severely wound the duo if not cripple them for life. And the situation may be even more hazardous since his aura control wasn"t up to the par due to his disturbed mental conscience.
If it is allowed to happen then Alex would never be able to forgive himself and the twins would be too scared to be near Alex in their life.
So Slowking intervened and stopped them before they could land onto Alex or enter his attacking radius.
Being frozen on the air surprised the twins for a moment and then they shouted excited at the prospect of flying although it was due to psychic.
" Yeah, I am flying."
" Look Ben, I am a blimp. I am floating in the sky."
Their excited shouts disturbed Alex"s sleep and he slowly opened his eyes to look at the pair of his siblings floating courtesy of his pokemon.
Suddenly he felt something and looked at his glowing blue arm and then at the twins as well as Slowking. He connected the dots and had a rough idea of what may have happened if not for Slowking"s intervention.
The twins may have opted to jump onto him and his body subconsciously regarded them as a threat. He then used his aura to cover his arm and decided to destroy the threat.
Slowking saw it all and when he thought that playfulness was over and things are taking a serious turn, he intervened and stopped them.
Alex softly said with complete sincerity," Thank you for helping me out, Slowking."
Slowking sent a water gun in reply to his "thank you " and turned his focus to the twins who floated in different direction under Slowking"s control.
None of his pokemons like him thanking them for helping him in his problems.
" So you two, what were you trying to do just now?" Alex leveled a small glare at his naughty twin siblings.
His voice attracted the attention of the floating twins and they wanted to float away from their brother.
But Alex caught them by their collars before they could escape and looked at them for an answer. They were scared now since Alex doesn"t like being woken up like this. And he was most probably going to be angry.
Soon Clara gathered up her courage and finally answered," It was your own fault. Who told you to sleep so late that mom made us wake you up. If you had woken up early we may be eating the cake now." She then turned her face sideways and pouted cutely.
Ben by her side just nodded along and agreed with his sister. Alex loved both of his siblings but he cared for Clara more and hence she didn"t hold back in scolding or criticising Alex like Ben do.
" Fine. Now I am awake. You both rush downstairs. I will join you after I am washed up and ready to go." Alex told while dropping both of them to the floor.
Getting the opportunity they ran downstairs while shouting," Mom Alex woke up."
Alex smiled at their actions and when they left his smile faded away with them. His face turned serious amd he said to himself," It seems I am losing control of myself. I still regard that I am at the battle zone. I almost treated them as an enemy.
It seems I will have to learn restrain. The post effect is too dangerous. I will have to warn them against letting mom and Dad into entering my room like that or doing something like this again." And then he rose from his bed and headed to the washroom/ toilet.
" There is something going on out there, I just don"t know what." He mumbled as he headed forth.
Far away in Johto region,
In an icy mountain a short white haired old man sat and looked at the letter, he got from his intelligence agent.
He was Pierce, the Ice elite of johto and the strongest trainer of Johto region.
" What does Samuel plan to do? He let someone so young not only partic.i.p.ate in the Tide but also lead the front as a commander. Isn"t he afraid of destroying the kid? " He mumbled to himself.
He thought of all the possible plans Samuel may have under his grip," No no he won"t do something like that. He is too soft. He won"t do it especially for his young student. He likes them too much. So he won"t take chances unless he is absolutely sure." And then it dawned on him.
"Is there anything unexpected going on with that family ?" He asked but the coldness in his voice was evident.
" I only found that the target"s mother is pregnant." The informer revealed.
" And what does those other idiots in the league think about this matter?" He inquired about his fellow colleagues for whom he didn"t even have an ounce of respect or comrades.h.i.+p.
" They think that he is worthless now. He isn"t someone we should waste time on." He answered the reply that they gave him and from what Pierce noticed that this person in front of him felt like that too.
He thundered out at their reply," Idiots, whole lot of you are idiots. Or why would we be laughed at by the other regions. Their shortsighted view dooms us all.
They ignored the shadow and they have started to drain us of the next generation. They have even penetrated deep into the league yet they just try to fight for powers among themselves. They will doom Johto." He sighed in the end.
The informer was now laying flat on the ground knocked out cold when he released his pressure in anger towards his colleagues.
He looked at the knocked out person and then shook his head," This is the most talented youth that johto currently have for itself. Even that Lance brat and Lorelei is better than him. They won"t fall down when I released a bit of the retrain. "
He ignored the fallen youth and started to walk back from the place.
" You have started a ma.s.sacre, Samuel. I know since you let that little monster partic.i.p.ate then he will not be crushed as most expect. After sometime other regions may opt to implement something closely related to this,it will officially start . The era of monsters is here.
It seems that there is really too many geniuses around. Kanto had once again revealed it"s dominance. It has genius to spare But johto isn"t so lucky. It cannot try that elimination method. " And he entered his house and left the youth out in the cold.
How will Alex overcome his instincts? How will the other regions take this news ? Stay tuned
