chapter 6 - dealing with rouges

Alex after leaving the pokemon center followed the directions nurse joy had given to reach the herbal store in the sprout village. He headed there with his Pikachu on his shoulders.

The path they were going on was pretty deserted at the moment and his Pikachu seemed to hear some sounds and looked here and there.

Alex just rubbed his ears softly and said," I know buddy. We are being followed. Be prepared for some pests."

Pikachu was serious and even sent some Sparks from his cheeks to show he is ready.

As they turned around the corner, the trailing shadows appeared in front of him. There were about six people who followed him.

They were all dressed as villagers and had a cruel look on their face. Alex looked around himself to see they each only had a single pokemon but thought not many get even a single pokemon in their life let alone a small village like this.

They could get a pokemon and raise the pokemon here meant they were pretty high up in the village related to some rich people or even head of village. But for Alex they were nothing.

Normally if someone was in such a situation he would be frightened or at least nervous but Alex has faced multiple life death scenario till now. Even the Pidgeot incident in his childhood was scarier than now let alone this situation can't be compared.

So Alex asked," is there anything I can do for you? Can you move out of the way I am in a hurry ?" He said calmly.

One of them who was probably their leader considering his clothes seemed more expensive than the rest said," Did you see here boys, a little brat asked us to move out of his way." And he laughed loudly.

And the others followed him in laughter.

" Hahahaha"

Seeing them laughing at Alex, Pikachu was angry and seemed ready a thunderbolt at the leader but Alex calmed him down.

Seeing Alex not reacting to his mockery, the leader of the group of rouges said," You brat, leave everything you have here and we might let you

leave. " his expression was that of him fooling Alex

Alex seeing his Expression knew they were lying and they would probably kill him after stealing from him but he still remained calm and said," if I don't do it ?"

" Then don't think of leaving here alive kid." He said sinisterly.

" Aren't you afraid someone would complain and you might get arrested." Alex said trying to get more information about them.

"Guys did you hear him? We are getting arrested "

" Hahahaha"

" Kid let me tell you, we took down many disobedient brats like you who didn't listen to us. As for us getting arrested, I am the son if the village head. No one in the village could threaten me.

And since you know my identity you don't need to live."

He released his pokemon which was a Graveller.

His surrounding friends too sent out their pokemons. They were the most common oddish, raticate and Spearow.

" Don't think about leaving here alive kid. Don't worry we will take care of your pokemons and your things for you." He said and laughed sinisterly fully confident that he won the battle.

Alex while hearing this only sighed and said softly," Pikachu your move isn't enough for Graveller. You take down the rest while he will have the others."

Pikachu dashed to the pokemons while Alex released a piloswine and ordered ," freeze them all"

While Pikachu took down oddish and Spearow a ice breath flew which froze everyone solid. A thousand year old nevermelt ice was a treasure for ice types. It increased his powers much over time and it will increase as time goes.

This has also made him reach advanced level so early. For current Alex these street shrimps aren't much difficult to deal with.

Under piloswine ice attack the six people along with their pokemons were frozen solid. The leader's fave was only not frozen. While the others may soon die or have hyperthermia from the extreme cold of piloswine.

Seeing the situation turn out like this, the leader shouted," do you know what you are doing? I am the son of village head. He is an intermediate level trainer. You a rookie can't face him let alone with your parents powerful pokemons. Leave me and I will forget this matter."

" Do you really think I will do that? Do I look like a fool to you? Let me tell you something about me. I am not a hero type of guy. if someone come at me with intent to kill he must be ready to face it too in return."

Alex said

" No no you can't do this. My father will kill you. No stop"

Piloswine slowly contracted the ice surrounding them and they were crushed to their death. His piloswine then used Earth power to dig a deep hole and then dump them in it on Alex instructions.

After that Alex thanked and had returned him to the pokeball. And the duo trainer and pokemon headed for the herbal store.

While they walked Alex talked with Pikachu and said," Pikachu you are too depended on thunder attacks. You see that Graveller back there, your moves won't work on him so you need to learn other moves too."

Pikachu just dropped his ears in sadness and reluctantly agreed. As fir why Pikachu was sad, his playing time was gonna decrease.

After the ordeal with the rouges they reached the store. He entered the store to see many herbs and potions kept on the shelves of the store and there were a few people currently in the store

He went to the shopkeeper who was an old granny in her sixties or seventies," do you have some status aliments and healing herbs." He asked directly

" Huh what do you say? Can you repeat it?" It seemed she can't hear properly so Alex repeated but this time much louder than earlier.

" Huh, why did you not say so earlier? Why did you have to shout so loudly? Kids these days don't even respect the elderly." She grumbled and asked someone in the back room to bring out the things he needed.

The surrounding people on hearing him talk loudly just laughed among themselves accustomed to the comedy of talking to a near deaf old woman.

Alex just let it be. Soon a beautiful girl in her early twenties came out dressed in a peach skin sundress with an apron over her dress. She was carrying a tray full of bottles.

" Good evening, Jenny. You look as beautiful as ever" said a slightly older man in the store.

" You are just as sunny as ever, village head." Said the now identified Jenny.

Alex took down a rouge who happened to be son of village head and now he encounter the father? How will it go? Stay tuned
