Negotiations with water types

Alex left his house because he knew his Mother would bombard him with questions regarding how much he wants to invest, what type of building he wanna build, what berries will he grow or what else? She was really way too serious on terms of spending money and now that he is spending such amount in a go is really terrifying for her.

Alex was really relaxed when he was on Pidgeot's back flying in the air. He rubbed his shoulders and told him," Head to lake Poly would you? I have to see if there is any change in leadership there?"

Before leaving the town for adventure, Alex knew every group of Pokemon living within 50 km radius of Floral town.

He knew the area surrounding lake Poly most.As for why it is called so because it has large group of poliwag living there.

There are also some slowpoke, Magikarp, marill, sometimes tentacool would appear in it too. As for gyrados, after evolving from Magikarp, they just vanish from here.

As for the reason, Alex asked Slowking once, he revealed that the lake is very deep and it also has some underwater caves which link it with the sea nearby.

Through these caves gyrados leave the lake and reach the sea so they don't stay here. It is regarded by gyrados as a step of growing up ritual so this hasn't stopped till now.

What Alex wants to do with these water type pokemons is hire them to water the plants which he would plant here for berries. This way they can get both strength and food without trouble and he has another security mechanism for the berries.

He reached the lake and released Slowking and directed him his plan. After hearing this Slowking stood still then his eyes flashed blue and after sometime, a few shadows appeared at the shore.

These shadows were poliwrath, kingler, seaking , tentacruel, Psyduck , cloyster, marill, Slowbro and even gyrados.

They were followed by some pokemons such as Krabby, kingler, seaking, Goldeen and other Pokemons. There were multiple water type pokemons and it would be a dream for many water type pokemon trainers to see so many of them in one place.

Alex was shocked to know that this lake contain so many different pokemons but thinking it is linked to the sea so it wasn't much surprise after all.

Alex looked at all the pokemons and then finally stopped at gyrados and was shocked and had slight fear in himself. No matter what when someone see gyrados for the first time he would experience fear especially after hearing so many stories about the destruction they cause as well as their angers.

Alex then started talking ," I am going to buy the land surrounding the lake for planting berry trees as well as home for my Pokemon. So I hope to create a cooperation between ourselves." And looked at the water pokemons for their reply.

They talked among themselves and then a Slowbro came forth to act as their representative. Alex was curious why he was selected then his eyes glowed blue and a voice rang in his head.

" What type of cooperation do you want from us human?" His voice said. It was similar to an old man. He now knew why he was selected. He was both oldest of them and could talk telepathically with him.

" I want you to water these plants in accordance to our plan as well as guard the area in cause for invasion or foreign attacks." He said

Slowbro looked back at the pokemons then he asked," What would we get?"

" Safe area to live without worry of others attacking you here as well as food." He said though it was quite low reward Alex was open to negotiation.

Hearing this, Slowbro along with other pokemon head frowned and he said," It is too low."

" I am open for negotiations." He said

" We want good quality water stone here along with some other things. We want you to help teach some tricks. " Slowbro said

" I can get water stone but with how many of you are I can't get good quality one. After spending so much I could barely buy some poor quality ones and for normal it may take time. " Alex lied as he could easily buy good quality ones for them but it would be a loss for him.

Hearing this they frowned but they didn't find any doubts after all they knew how precious the stone is although getting low quality is still enough.

" What about the tricks?"

" I could teach you but those pokemons must be the best among you and they should join my team." Alex said finally.

Hearing this gyrados roared loudly. Espeon, Slowking stood in front of Alex to protect him while Pidgeot floated above ready to take them on.

Water pulse was sent towards them but wing attack slashed it down. Ice punch of poliwrath was subdued by iron tail.

The psychic attacks of Pokemon were crushed by Slowking mental powers.

Even though the water pokemons were more in numbers they were still being crushed under the powers of Slowking, Pidgeot and Espeon.

" Human you are asking too much. " Slowbro said softly though the underlying anger doesn't hide.

" This is best for both of us."

Although pokemons themselves are smart they still lack some in terms of intrigue," Explain" he stated

" If I raise them then they would grow stronger under me and get as much resources as my other pokemons. They would also learn many moves under me.

This way whenever they return back they could train you and also because of them I won't fool you.

And of you think I just trick you we can complete this after I planted the trees and work get started here." He looked at them for answer.

Slowbro and others entered discussion and then he said," We will only let three pokemons join you. One will be a Magikarp . Rest two you must decide yourself which ones do you want." This sentence has a sense of finality in it as if he won't have anymore discussion on this topic.

" Then I choose poliwag and tentacool." He replied.

" The three pokemons will be here tomorrow so be here by that time.

We will agree to your conditions but don't try to trick us. these pokemons may be stronger but they can't take on all of our wrath." After that he floated away along with the other Pokemons.

Alex seeing them agree to himself breath out the air he held unconsciously. He then rubbed Espeon's head and spoke ," Now we need Ground type such as dugtrio along with a Snorlax."

He then recalled Slowking and then rode Pidgeot towards his next appointment.

Now how will the next negotiations go? And why do he need a Snorlax? Stay tuned.
