Chapter 1 Aftermath

The distance from Altomare and the small town of Littleroot in Hoenn Region is about three days distance by the Cruise Ship.

Although cruise ship can move faster than many boats, it's speed is comparable to a magcargo when it is compared to the flying like Pidgeot.

The time is shortened to couple of hours flight on a strong flying Pokemon. Thankfully, all of them have the required pokemons for this event. They headed for their destination.

Kanto region,

Pallet Town,

There are only two people in the room of the Oak Laboratory discussing something major. They are Red Ketchum and Samuel Oak.

" So you wish I will protect the Bart's from any possible attacks?" Red asked his mentor.

Samuel shook his head and explained, " Alex passed me a message. He wishes that we only intervene when his pokemons can no longer hold back the rogues.

He wished to train them in defensive battle and hostage situations. This will be one of the many battle which they will fight there. You should remember how much blood was spilled in the past in order to make Pallet Town, a forbidden territory.

Alex has similar ideas regarding the Floral Town. He is willing to take that sort of chance. "

Neither Red nor Samuel talked about his safety measure, for they know about the recent admission of Four Psuedo King Pokemon in his team.

That has increased his strength exponentially. This trip has turned from a trip of discovery to a trip of overcoming his former limit and getting stronger.

"Are they going to use Alex for the attack on Johto?" Red asked as he has a gut feeling they might as well use it in this fashion.

" As soon as that idiot Marcus does that, the Kanto will start it. " Samuel explained.

Samuel mentioned about his talks with Drake where he promised, he won't involve himself. Red burst out laughing madly because Blue told them that Mew is with them.

As long as she is around, no human or pokemon no matter how strong they might be, can threaten Alex.

Even without Samuel there to back him up, Alex can overcome any difficulty and if there is an insurmountable odd in front then, Mew will level the ground.

Hoenn Region,

Just like in Kanto, in the Hoenn league Headquarters, there is an important meeting going on.

These people are the two elite four and the champion of the region.

" So, how are we going to deal with the upcoming situation?" Drake asked Moore and Gracia.

Other Elite four are away from the Hq and busy completing their respective tasks. It fell upon them to deal with this.

Moore puffed his cigarette to calm his raging nerves. This problem is too big because many influential and powerful people are involved in this matter.

Moore replied after calming himself, "I don't want to entangle in this matter. If not for those idiots in the Headquarters, we won't be dragged in such a mess." He is very angry at the idiots who dragged the entirety of Hoenn in such a quagmire.

Garcia also added her view, " I think it is better for us not to get involved. If we are entangled into this, then Oak might as well come to visit us.

Let those bastards handle this matter themselves. "

She didn't want to face the angry monster hiding behind that friendly behaviour.

" So we should give up on Smith and just watch." Drake summarized what they didn't speak.

Drake knows how much Smith dotes on his son, Harold. The torturous death of his son was sure to make him turn livid.

He will be out for blood irrespective of what his son has done. He even tried to use his influence in order to smuggle him away.

This showed just how low Smith has fallen. All of them wished to kill that beast if he was in front of him. They understand why Alex did all of that, but who can make an angry father think rationally.

All he thinks is about his son's tragic and gruesome death.

Drake after much thoughts issued his orders, "This is a matter between Alex Bart and the people involved in the attack near the Altomare. The Hoenn league personnel will not actively involve themselves in this matter.

And we will only involve when they break the laws of the game."

Garcia and Moors felt they should opt for complete inaction and neutrality. This way they don't have to suffer and are left unscathed.

But if they opt for partial neutrality then there is a situation where they will suffer greatly. Chaos might also descend here.

" Is it necessary for us to involve ourselves at all?" Moor asked his old friend and long time companion, not wanting any part in all this.

Drake revealed the reason to them, "Samuel contacted me earlier, after the news related to the shipwreck spread. He told me that he will not involve himself in this incident. He will only act as an observer as long as we don't get involved in this actively. "

On hearing this both of then are delighted for Hoenn region is not in any danger anymore.

But Drake isnt finished, "There might a slight chance these people may target Alex's family. "

This turned their happy expression grim for the chances of the Bart family being involved is very high.

" They will break the rules?" Although it seem like a question, it is an undisputed fact.

Drake nods and elaborated, " Samuel mentioned Alex will play by the rules as long as the other party follows them.

The moment his family is dragged, he will start a genocide. Anyone who is related in that attack will suffer and those who stands in his path will be dealt without mercy."

Their expression turned even worse on hearing this. Although they have much doubt that someone so young can do something like this, with how Drake acts it seems like Alex does possess that strength.

" Samuel will not involve unless Alex is nearly dying or we take shot. If the gym leaders or other trainers take action he will just observe." Drake turned quiet after that.

" So we are serving as his whetstone. We are his stepping stones." Garcia spoke out and then questioned, "Why haven't you asked others to intervene and stop this matter from expanding? We can deal with the problem peacefully."

"Samuel doesn't want a peaceful solution, he wants Alex to take the bloody route. Alex is willing to solve it peacefully but do you think they will back down.

Their kids are dead and they want desire for vengeance. Everyone knows that Kanto has started to take shots at Johto discreetly, with the Master Breeder involved they will have another reason for action.

Do you think they will back down?" Drake revealed three greatest reasons why peaceful solutions are no longer an option. He was miffed at being cornered like this.

Alex has become a piece for the Regional politics.
