location: Blackthorn city, Johto,In a room there were two men along with two Pokemons which were big, bipedal and yellow in colour with teo small antenna on their head which stood guard behind the two people. They were Dragonite. The two Dragonite overlooked the conversation of their trainers and didn"t interfere.
" What made that monster try such a dangerous thing?" The older of the two man grumbled.
" Father, you cannot call someone like that. It will not be good if someone hears you say something like this about him. " Another man younger than the previous one tried to say and stop his father from regarding "Him" as a monster.
The older man wore a brown monk type cloth and a bronze cloak over his shoulder, while the younger man was in normal s.h.i.+rt and pant attire but had his own cloak on his shoulders.
" You youngsters didn"t know him. You can ask any person of my era who saw his terror, you will know why we opt to call him a monster. He isn"t someone you ever wanna mess with.
You have met his son and student didn"t you? What do you regard them as?" The older man asked his son.
" Monster" was the only term he used to describe them. His son spoke out without second thought.
The older man scoffed at this epithet and ridicules his son," Those two are too tame compared to him. He rose to his level under the opposition of many people and most of them became an example of which will happen to those who mess with him.
His son and student on the other hand had his back which made them less ruthless than him.
In that monsters eyes, he doesn"t differentiate whether one is men or women, child or adult. There is a reason he was called the Destroyer. When he is angry, he burns down the world. " The old man finished omniously.
The Dragonite seem to shudder thinking about him sane with his trainer who s.h.i.+vers at the thought of his anger.
The younger man didn"t know what to say. To think one of the kindest man he knew was so ruthless back in his days was surprising but he had seen a trend. The people are becoming more and more calm over the years.
" But he won"t just destroy his student like that? This isn"t how he is." The son said.
" This is what makes me surprised too. He likes to protect his people especially the young ones. They are his hope for the future. But this behavior is completely out of his usual ways.
And this method had also started a new trend. We have to be prepared." The older man said.
" What do you mean by that, father?" The younger man was confused by his father"s words.
" Lance has to be prepared. Within an year he will be fighting a pokemon tide without any of our help or support. And before his fourteen birthday he must lead a Corp just like Samuel"s protege did. " He issued the order to his son.
These words made the man disbalance and he fell on the ground. He didn"t rise from his fallen position shouted at his father," Father, are you mad? How can you even consider this. You know it, that Lance is the most talented and gifted trainer in all the Dragon Den. He may even surpa.s.s all of us in the future.
Why do you have to do this? Why take this risk? I cannot put my son in such a grave danger. He is the strongest genius of our Wataru clan "
His Dragonite joined his trainer in insisting and said," Roooo"(" He is still too young to face such a dangerous situation.")
The older man didn"t take his son"s opposition kindly and himself shouted back,"You think I want to do that to my own grandson, Drake. He is my favorite grandson. I taught him everything he knew about dragons since he was four.
And what genius? Does he even qualify for the genius t.i.tle now? That monster destroyed any chance he had to be the strongest of the generation .
In this generation, there is only a single genius and that is Alex Bart. He has raised the threshold for the genius. " His anger decimated a little on mentioning this.
The old man seems too tired now.
" Dad are you ok?" Seeing his tired appearance he asked his father.
He just motioned he was fine and continued," Do you know what it really means to be a genius now? Complete the same task that young Alex , no no no , he cannot be called young anymore. As for to get a genius t.i.tle now, one has to do what Alex did in the fight.
He have two pseudo king Pokemons and a couple in elite and dozen in advanced. Out of them only three were what he caught when he was five.
He took only six years to raise two pseudo king without any powerful treasure which shows his talent in raising and training Pokemon. He then survived and led the battle against Tide without breaking down in the middle of the fight, showing his firm will, concentration and mentality.
The only thing that he now suffers from is the aftermath. When he recovers and it is a when not an if, then no one could challenge his supremacy in the same generation.
This generation children are doomed to follow his lead and alive be under his shadow just like I and you did in their shadows. "
The two father and son thought of the people under whose shadows they reside.
Every occupant was quiet after those words for no one dared to object since they knew that it was true." And we can do nothing?"
" Samuel had given us time. The time till Alex recovers. After that, the genius of each region will have to at least partic.i.p.ate in the defensive Battle against the Pokemon Tide.
If they cannot do so after he returns then they don"t deserve that t.i.tle of a genius. Now Only the peak position is lost but the battle for the second is still raging.
Lance is a dragon trainer and a possible dragon master. He holds the honor of dragons. If Lance cannot do that then he doesn"t belong to the strong of this generation. The dragons aren"t a member of the strong.
The monsters aren"t those who are strong or ruthless. The true monsters are those who through their actions make the whole generation follow their path, even if it was a path full of thorns.
Samuel started an era of monsters in his time, his son and student did it after him and now Alex did too and at such a young age.
We cannot regard this generation as others in the past. The Era of the monsters is here." The old man said.
No matter how much he cared about his son, Drake knew his son well. He was as much a dragon master as any one else in the family. And every single dragon master had a pride.
No pokemon out there is as proud of their strength as dragons. They belong to the cla.s.s of strong. And in this era, only those who can withstand the similar experience as Alex are those qualifed to be a member of that cla.s.s.
Lance would partic.i.p.ate in it no matter what he say to his son after his son gets this information, so he might as well prepare his son for the future," Ok father. I will do it."
As he was leaving a voice drifted to him," I too don"t want to do this. It is the demand of this generation. Either join the queue or get lost in the sands of time. "
And he left the room and flew over his Dragonite to a little at the bank of which two children, a red head who was Lance and a blue haired , Claire his cousin played.
The father looked at the two playing and his face turned sour and grim. He didn"t like the prospect of this but he had to do it. It was his son"s misfortune to be born in that monsters generation.
Yes, even Drake considered him a monster and knew why his father called Professor Oak a monster.
" It seems the play time is over for Lance. I feel sad that Lance had to go through that but I am also happy that Claire isn"t as strong as Lance. At least her innocence can be preserved for a longer time. " He said softly to his companion, trying to appease both his and his partners heart.
" Rooo." The Dragonite slightly cooed in sympathy knowing what her trainer felt.
" The era of monsters. I hope you can keep going on your path, my son" and he went to them.
A new trend had started due to Alex. How will it go in other regions? stay tuned
