Parting and a new journey

Alex and his friends had reached the pokemon center and are now seated at the lobby after Alex gave his three older pokemons to Nurse joy for treatment.

And he also told her they fought Giovanni so that she didn't ask him questions about how they were injured or if he abused his pokemons

Nurse joy treated all the people kindly but for abusing ones they don't offer any services. This is one of the powers they mastered over time in their services in the league alliance.

He and his friends were seated in the lobby in front of each other, with the new Spheal on Lorelei's lap and Eevee on Alex's.

They were having small talks when. Lance suddenly said," Your pokemons are monsters. They completely obliterated the ground."

" It wasn't much. I didn't win in the end. He just went easier on me, or I won't have even a chance to attack. That attack takes a lot of preparation, energy and time." Alex said.

They were taking about the " Slaughter rain". Death raining from the sky. They didn't know that this attack was inspired by the acid rain and he wanted to use it with a water poison type but this version was just a cheap rip-off.

The move he envisioned was the acid or poison toxic rain directly from the sky turned the ground into a poison wasteland and make the area completely favorable for the poison type.

This was a type enhancing attack for the friends with a weakening effect on the opponent.

This attack though was a complete destroyer with only single desire of destruction.

Though he did not mention his thoughts, he said," The attack is still incomplete."

Then looked at Lance and Lorelei who looked a little tense and nervous asked," So why are you so nervous? Is there any problem?"

" This .. ahh. Alex you know my grandpa is the elder of the clan and has connection with the league and Lorelei teacher is Pierce a johto elite four.

They found about our hostage situation and called us back respectively. Grandpa also sent his Dragonite to bring us back to johto.

According to them, we are too weak so we were caught in the trap and so they will personally train us so this type of situation doesn't occur.

And so we might leave soon."

Lorelei was gloomy and didn't want to separate from her friends. None of them wanted to separate after all the friendship made in dangers was stronger than others.

They trusted each other but they now have to leave. This was hurtful to all of them.

" Oh... I see." Alex said calmly but none of them missed the underlying sadness in his voice.

Eevee once again tried to lick him to soothe his mood.

Alex himself was mature and most kids his age can't keep up with him so even in his hometown be didn't have many friends. All his friends there were older than him.

The two of them are the only ones his age so they were pretty attached.So he knew the reason for this.

" They are right. We really are weak, or else would they be able to kidnap us. We should train ourselves much harder so we won't be devastated next time like that with Fang." Alex said strongly.

They all remembered how Fang demolished them before and had it not for Agatha coming to their rescue, they might suffer horribly.

Alex also remembered how none of his pokemons even with type advantage could take down a single pokemons of Giovanni.

These failure of the past inspired them to be stronger , much much stronger than they were now

" So you won't take part in the league tournament?" Alex asked

" Of course we will take part. And at that time, I will defeat you. Mark my words." Lance said excitedly.

" Yeah right. You can't even take me on now, and by then I will leave you behind in the dust." Alex retorted.

" Why you? I will annihilate you."Lance countered.

" Do you even know the spelling of Annihilation?" Alex asked joking and made a twisted face

" Of course. It is anihi...anniha.... anii.." Lance tried to spell out the word.

For every time he made a mistake, Alex laughed loudly at him pointing him finger, while Lorelei giggled. " Hahahaha"

Their pokemons too followed their trainers and laughed at Lance.

" Why you? I won't talk with you anymore." Lance glowered.

" But you just talked." Alex said plainly.

" When?" Lance asked puzzled now.

" Just now . Hahahaha" Alex said

And another round of laughter at the expense of Lance began.

After the mood lightened, Alexex asked," When will he arrive?"

" Tomorrow morning we will leave." Lorelei said and once again the atmosphere became miserable

" It doesn't matter. We are friends aren't we? We will meet again in the future or even during our travelling. And if not then at the league so no need to be sad a out it."Alex tried to cheer his friends.

" Yeah. We will be friends forever." Lance said

" Friends forever."

" Friends forever."

And the two pokemons too cheered

" Vvveee"

" Seaalll"

They all had dinner together and then they parted ways to leave for bed.

After reaching the room Alex fed his pokemons based on the recipe he acquired and then went to sleep.

Next morning,

At ten o'clock clock , Alex left the Viridian city and started to head for pallet town as per the instructions of the mystery guys.

His Friends had already left at 9 in the morning and he after seeing them off started to head of for the next round of journey.

What will our hero experience in the future?

Also our hero will have his first legendary pokemon meeting soon so stay tuned
