Alex took off on his Pidgeot along with his rewards. While handing over the reward he also gave him an envelope containing something similar to a pendant.After all he took a miracle seed and leaf stone for taking care of Snorlax and this time he angered a powerful pokemon poacher he was willing to once again negotiate to get more benefits for himself.
After all a Pokemon along with some berries weren"t enough but this envelope managed to compensate him enough. When he tried to scan it using aura vision his eyes were evaded or even repelled by it.
If not for Gordon signalling him to not check then and there he would have already seen it. After flying for few minutes he let his Pidgeot hover for sometime so he can see what he got.
Alex took out the envelope and see a letter along with a necklace with a green gem embedded on it.
He took out the letter to read:
" Young man,
Thank you for your help. I know the pokemon I give you won"t be enough compensation but I hope this will sate you.
This is an old relic of our people. This was blessed by a powerful gra.s.s type who also blessed our lands with fertility because an ancestor helped her in the past
What pokemon blessed it I don"t know but I know it helps the gra.s.s pokemons similar to miracle seed. Since you liked it so much I thought you would like it too.
As for why I don"t reveal it out there is because many would think I was being overly generous in rewarding you.
They think past is more important than present or future. Since you helped our future generations I hereby reward you the relic of the past.
Once again I thank you for your help. If you need our help please tell me I will surely help in the future.
Village chief Gordon"
After reading the letter Alex once again looked at the green gem and felt something extraordinary about it. He then let it be and told Pidgeot to head off for the valley nearby.
This valley has many Diglett and dugtrio here. They mostly sooth the soil allowed better flow of water and also provide essential minerals to the plants which grow around.
They can be the gardener of the wild too. So he decided to have at least six of them captured for his own work.
Alex reached the valley and came across pokemons sneakily looking at him and Pidgeot who landed there. A few curious pokemons like Pichu and Swablu even looked at him directly.
Seeing them Alex motioned towards them and took out some pokecube.
It"s sweet scent attracted Pichu and Swablu out. He then gave them the cube. After surveying it and find that there was no thing to fear they ate it happily. Meanwhile Pichu discharged an electric shock around though it missed all and hit the tree.
While they ate Alex took out the Pokedex to scan them.
" Pichu: it can"t use electrical moves effectively. When you excited or surprised they unintentionally discharge lightning."
" Swablu: Swablu has soft light fluffy wings that are like cottony clouds. It is not afraid of strangers and often sit on top of people like a hat".
After that he asked them," Can you tell me where I can find Diglett?"
"pi"
" Swi"
they tilted their heads and looked at the person in front puzzled.
" I have a farm. I need them to soothe the ground there as well as help in raising orchards there. So I need some of them" he replied.
This time they nodded their head seriously but not so seriously. Alex noticed that the Pichu was probably just hatched a few days ago while Swablu too was young.
So they are still in their baby states. He really liked baby states pokemons because if trained well they can be stronger than their counterpart and also the bonds between them would be stronger too.
So he was calm with them to bond and see if they can join him. He also saw a Raichu and altaria nearby looking at them. So he wasn"t aggressive towards them .it wasn"t that he was afraid but of he act too violent with them it might affect their relations.h.i.+p later.
They then looked at each other and chatted and then both swablu and Pichu raised their hands forward probably asking more in return for direction.
He handed one to both which disappeared as soon as it landed on their palm and then said," You will get more if you help me."
They then rode his shoulders. One on each shoulder and Swablu sat on his head.
They then guided him through the forest. They came across a few dugtrio and Diglett working there. Alex arrival startled them but Alex quickly released his Slowking to first negotiate and if not then act aggressive.
Slowking then started to chat with the dugtrio while Alex scanned then too. Scanner also collect the other data of Pokemon along with their approx weight while comparison with the original data.
So Alex scan even the prescanned Pokemon to compare the different pokemon characters found in different places.
Slowking then motioned Alex and said," If we beat their leader they will agree on the conditions that they be allowed to visit them too. "
Of course it was to check att.i.tude of trainer after all if they lost they lost all negotiation ability.
Slowking though easily best the dugtrio by lifting him off ground and send it a water pulse.
This battle shocked the tribe while the two young ones at his shoulder and head jumped up and down excited about the battle.
" so who agreed to join"
Six Diglett and two dugtrio came forth who were caught by Alex. The two pokemons on his shoulder accidentally touched the empty pokeball and got caught too.
This was surprising and the two overseeing pokemons came forth and shouted at Alex. Slowking stood in front ready to take them on.
Alex don"t want to fight here in case these Diglett get hurt and later affect the pokemons whom he caught. Also he wanted to negotiate with the pokemons for raising these young ones.
" Calm down. Let"s talk about it. I want to raise them and you can battle me to see if I am capable of not.
Also to help you, you both can face my Slowking together."
This angered the two thinking he was insulting them but felt they can teach him.
He released the two young out of pokeball and explain the situation. They agreed to follow for the food and stayed with Alex to watch the fight between Slowking and their parents.
How the battle goes? What is the use of the green gem? What will happen next? Stay tuned.
