Pokemon - A Mystical Journey

When Alex arrived, he saw two pair of the couple standing anxiously for someone. They were the Waterflower and the Gordon family.

They saw Alex arriving and rushed to him. His aunt Jenny reached him first. She grabbed his shoulders hard ignoring the Pokemon on his shoulder and asked," Alex, where is Jim? What happened to him?"

Her forceful act wasn"t liked by the young Dratini and he sent a thunder wave at her. Fortunately, Pikachu possessed lightning rod ability and saved his aunt.

" Dratini, calm yourself down. She isn"t hurting me. You cannot attack anyone until I say so. Am I understood?" Alex warned his young pokemon and to establish his dominance, he let out his pressure.

This pressure served the dual role. First, this made Dratini calm and established his majesty in his mind.

Secondly, it made the adults refrain from using physical actions in getting their answers.

His uncle Gray asked his nephew," Where are the kids, Alex?"

Alex looked at the anxious parents and calmly said," Follow me. I will take you to them."

He took them towards the nurse joy who awaited for Alex"s. On seeing Alex, she said to him," Alex, are you here to pick your pokemons? Most of your pokemon are fine with minute injuries, but nidorino needs to rest and stay until tomorrow and Magmar needs to under intensive care for at least a month."

On hearing, this Mathew asked," What happened to those two Pokemons, Alex?"

Alex shrugged a little and said, "nothing much. Nidorino is injured due to a continuous attack of his own and was injured in the aftermath.

As for Magmar, a chandelier fell on him hard. Really hard."

" Is magma going to be alright?" Mathew asked nurse joy.

" Don"t worry. Magmar has a strong body Const.i.tution. This along with proper treatment he will be fine. I was thinking of sending him back so he could get his proper rest. " Alex said not at all worried about their injury.

Nurse Joy took the group inside on seeing the familiar figure of Mathew and understood they cane to meet their kids.

" Are they seriously injured too?" Jenny asked.

" No, they aren"t injured. They are just put to sleep so they can heal quickly." Alex said.

" And what about your injury? I saw your tattered s.h.i.+rt when you called." Mathew asked.

" Some knife cannot injure me enough to put me on the bed. " Alex said dismissing his injury.

Then they came across a room. Both of them were kept in the same room.

There are two kids sleeping and glucose was supplied as a supplement to make sure that their body doesn"t go hungry.

The two sets of parents rushed towards their kids and Alex told nurse joy," I am going to sleep now. I barely avoided their wrath by revealing Magmar"s injury but it will come soon. I am leaving. "

Alex left the room and headed for the cafeteria. He was eating his food while giving his Pokemons some as they wanted to eat too.

While he ate his food before going to bed, two males settled on the table in front of him.

Alex looked above his food to see the two were Mathew Waterflower, the gym leader and Gray Gordon, his uncle.

" How were they injured, Alex?" Gray asked his nephew.

" When I arrived at the town, I was given a mission by the league. The Solar Town had experienced multiple kidnapping events of young trainers. So the league ordered me to find the source and deal with them. They also wanted me to catch their leader so he could be interrogated about the organization.

The two were caught by them both for kidnapping purpose and to lead me to an ambush. " He explained.

" Who was the one who injured them?" Mathew asked

Alex uttered only one word," The shadows "

Mathew"s eyes flashed with an understanding while Gray never heard of their existence and was confused and asked his nephew," what are the shadows, Alex?"

Alex looked at Mathew asking his opinion of whether to reveal it to his uncle. Only when he nodded did Alex reveal the information about them.

"The shadow is the strongest underworld organization of the Johto league who had decided to slowly enter the affairs of Kanto too. They have performed multiple attacks on different places in Kanto and tried to establish a stronghold in Kanto but have failed. " Alex revealed only this and nothing sensitive about them was told to the civilian uncle.

"From the way you said, you had encountered the ambush of the shadows so if you don"t mind me asking, How many people ambushed you, Alex?" Mathew asked.

" About 40 people with most releasing two Pokemons to fight. " Alex said.

Gray turned white on hearing this. He and his wife were angry at Alex for not being able to protect Jim, but knowing he had to face such an ambush made him aware how much danger he faced, to save them.

He felt guilty and was anxious if he was injured but ignored in favor of his companions and said," And you are fine? Alex, you should rest now. You cannot just neglect the injuries. "

" Uncle, nurse joy personally checked me and made sure to treat every wound I gained in this battle. " Alex tried to console his uncle.

Mathew knew that the situation wasn"t right, and so he decided to divert to something else and started the topic about Dratini," Alex, when did you catch the Dratini?"

" Dratini. Alex, I heard they are really rare. You are very lucky to get one. He will surely be a powerhouse of your team." Gray told his nephew while appreciating and complimenting the serpentine dragon pokemon.

Alex rubbed his head and said," I didn"t catch him. I got it as a reward for my last a.s.signment in Sky Town." This served as both revealing and not revealing the info about Dratini.

Mathew knew what Alex faced in there so he felt that the reward was apt, while Gray knows that some tasks info cannot be revealed, so he didn"t pry about the topic.

" You got another future elite level Pokemon on your team. Congratulations. " Mathew said to Alex.

But, Alex wasn"t smiling and said with a sad smile," what congratulations. The growth time of pseudo legendary is too long. If we are different objects to speed up the process then one can turn bankrupt.

I have a larvitar ready for evolution. He now eats almost sane amount if food as Snorlax and his diet are of composed of Earth gems.

I was happy that after evolution, some of my expenses will be reduced, but I got another glutton on the team. So tell me, Mathew, whether I should be happy about having new powerful pokemon or sad at the money flying away from my pocket?" Alex said and his Dratini didn"t like his insult.

He was awarded a tail slammed on his head. Alex just rubbed his sore head and glared at his pokemon who seemed pretty proud of his actions.

The two adults laughed at their attics. Mathew has a rough idea of the cost that Alex spent on hos larvitar"s accelerated growth. But gray didn"t know. He wanted to know how much costly raising so e Pokemons could be and asked," How much did you spend on him? "

" Nearly a billion. If not for the last profits of my honey business, I couldn"t even feed my other Pokemons ?" Alex said with a hint of a lie. Mathew didn"t come forward to correct Alex and let things be.

" A billion? Can raising pokemons be so costly? One pokemons burnt away a billion dollars." Gray asked surprised and shocked by the expenditure of Alex.

" Does your mother allow you to spend money so extravagantly?" Gray asked softly fearing his sister may hear him and rush towards them from the shadows.

" Of course not, I make sure to keep some of the profit enter my account for raising Pokemons. Although most enter my family"s.

If Mom knew how much money larvitar eats she may even throw him out, though she cannot lift him up because of his weight " and laughed.

Gray was still unconvinced about such large expenditure and asked," Is the cost worth it?"

It was Mathew who answered," Of course it is worth it. In the growing stages of Pokemon the cost is very high, almost unaffordable by most people, but if they can sustain the pain for dime time, they can earn much more than that pretty easily.

With a pseudo legendary Pokemon in the team, not only the prestige rises greatly but the job options are also more. Even if they are t fully evolved, to find a job with a few hundred million a year isn"t too difficult. If it is fully evolved, he may earn billions and the cost of lodging and everything could be bored by the employer also.

In the world of Pokemon, the more money is spent correctly, the more he earns in the future. Of course, most don"t accelerate the growth but let them evolve on their own. And they spend at least ten years to completely evolve. "

They continued to talk about how the kids were the past days before this incident and Alex told them everything.

His Pokemons had fallen asleep on his body. And Gray told him," your pokemons have fallen asleep. You too should rest. You had a tight day today. We will be heading back too. Goodnight, Alex "

" Goodnight Alex" Mathew wished

" Goodnight, uncle Gray"

" Goodnight, Mathew" and he went back to his room.

There he first placed the Pokemons on the bed and then himself crashed down.
