Round 2 begins

As the people of the shadows are starting to commence the next phase and the starting to take of the kids' gloves,ie, they aren't going to hold back.

In the storeroom,

All the escaped trainers of the three groups started to take back their Pokemons from the storeroom while Alex handed over Lance's pokeball to him.

After taking the pokeballs, Lorelei once again gathered them around and started, " Now that we have got back our pokeballs we should now head to save the fourth group which was captured by the shadows. Now we should assemble, divide ourselves and ..."

Before she could finish one of the trainers shouted," Now that I have my Pokemon I am not afraid of those Damm shadows. Now I will

show those bastards what they get for angering me. "

After hearing this other trainers too started shouting," Yeah I will not let them get away."

"I will crush them."

"They will pay for this."

"I will eradicate them from the roots."

Stimulated by the anger and once again getting back their power, getting back the Pokemon so they can battle them they were starting to get inflammated thinking that they could take on those grunts without Pokemon so with their Pokemons they could easily win. This emotion can be seen in everyone except Lance and Alex as Lance was already warned by Alex that after getting back the Pokemons there might be such a case.

" Wait before taking on the shadows we must save our friends who are captured. Please calm down we still have much to do " Seeing them so aggressive she said nervously while pulling up her specs up her nose.

" Let them be. We can save them after we take down the shadows. We have to get back at them before they ran away. " Bank the leader of Alex group stated" Anyway they are losers for getting caught by them. Look all of us are here but they got caught. We should let them be so they will learn not to be caught in the future. Hahahahahaha."

" yeah let them be ."

"yeah they are right."

they all rang .

Lorelei still pleaded for them," But they suffered with us together. We should at least try once. What if you were in their position." she looked at all of them hopefully then at Lance and Alex pleading and hoped that they backed her up

Alex kept looking at her but if one would notice it seem he ignored her and looked at the wall at her back. And Lance looked away from her.

seeing they won't help she once again looked at them. This time all the trainers were quiet and no one talked.

Later the one who first started the aggressive stance stated," Even if we want to help them we will face many of the shadows who will now look after them. They will be the bait to catch us. Let's take out the ones at the periphery and then go help them after we are safe."

"Yeah this is how we will do "

"I too agree."

" Me too".

"Here"

All of them agreed to first protect themselves and then go out to save them after leaving the base by reporting to the league and thought this way they both will be safe.

Seeing that none stood by her she angrily shouted," Fine then . But if you all are caught or anything happen to you don't expect me to help you."

Saying this she headed away from them.

After this all the trainers left the room and headed out to take down the shadows but this time the ones who were stronger than most headed alone while slightly weaker ones in group of two or three .

Out of the 18 here, five headed out alone, three ( Alex , Lance and Lorelei ) stayed in the room while the rest ten in two two groups of two and threes.

After they left, Lorelei suddenly stormed at them and said," Why didn't you help me out there? Look what happened? Now we all are separate and easy to pick up at. What are we going to do now. Many are caught and now we are divided too. So how do we get out of here. All the plan have now went down the drain." she continued to fume at Lance and Alex.

"is all the steam out of your system?" Alex jokingly said to which Lance laughed and his eevee in his shoulder snickered. but Lorelei didn't find it funny and glared hotly at them. This stopped Lance laughter but Eevee continued to smile.

"What do you mean? And why aren't you angry that they didn't follow your plan Alex? heck since they insulted your plan you should be more angry than me?"Lorelei said looking at Alex

"Because I knew this was going to happen." Alex said calmly.

"what? what do you mean you know? How can you know? Are you a psychic or a prophet?"

Lorelei blasted him with questions.

"When we were first kidnapped I saw that all trainers had already established groups and Division among themselves and some were loners among them too. these loners looked at the ones in group disdainfully and also sneered from time to time. So I knew they were prideful and won't act after they get back their Pokemons. Do this plan of taking them down in group won't work. Also.."he stopped and looked at Lorelei.

Lorelei narrated and asked"Also what?"

"Even if we were in a group it won't matter."

" Why wouldn't it matter?" she asked and Lance too looked at him curious as he never elaborated him on why the plan won't work.

"Because we were always under their surveillance. I knew that since they caught us alive and said we were valuable package for them yet they didn't have a single guard to look at us. this made me feel fishy so I had my Haunter survey the room." And his Haunter rose out of his shadows startling Lorelei.

Haunter after emerging greeted Lance and Lorelei with a wave of hand and then started chatting with Eevee probably telling what all happened to them after they were kidnapped.

but he ignored her and he continued,"So after Knowing they were looking at us and the lack of participation and cohesiveness between us I thought it won't work and second is.."

" don't keep dragging on like that. it is irritating and not cool."Lance fired at Alex while Lorelei nodded in agreement as his drawing on was getting irritating.

"Fine spoilsport. Second is no matter how much Rattata are there can it take down a pseudo legendary like Dragonite or A gyrados?"

He asked them.

Lance being the dragon enthusiast he was quickly said," No way. they can never take them on. The dragon type evolve after accumulation of enough life energy and stimulating the evolution they have a very strong aura around them that they can't even bear the pressure they exert on them. Heck, they will run or hide in their presence. But how is this similar to us."

" The grunt we saw was at Intermediate level and from his fear of it's leader it seem he was at least senior level trainer. Do you think you could take him on." Alex looked at them.

Both Lance and Lorelei were quiet as they both have seen what a senior trainer is capable of with Lance being grandson of the great elder of Wataru clan and Lorelei being the student of elite four head trainer Pierce so both know the strength of the trainers.

"So what do we do?" Lance asked.

" Now we start round two." Alex said smiling.

Now we know why Alex and Lance we're not supportive of the plan. So what will happen to those angered trainers and what is the round two of the both the shadows and Alex?Now what is happening in the other battlefield between the league and the shadows?
