Rest after battle

Alex has slept for a day after reaching the pokemon center. They were currently in the lavender town. Alex looked out of his room in the pokemon center and saw a town surrounded by fog from the nearby sea.

Though not as dense as foggy forest it has a eerie feeling to itself. This place is a good place for raising ghost type. With many pokemons buried here at pokemon tower their rich life energy would be good nutrition for the ghost type.

Also this eerie environment generate a sense of fear in many people and so fear energy too is created.

Seeing the pokemon tower from the window, Alex thought of the now dead Tyranitar. Had he knew it was do close he may have buried him here. Anyway what Happened had happened.

He after that rose from his position and head down for the reception. He had to call back Agatha and his family.

As soon he came down and head for the phone booth he saw Bill talking to someone. He headed towards him.

Bill seeing Alex called out," Alex come here. I will introduce you to someone."

Without waiting for his answer He pulled Alex to the booth and showed him an image of an older green haired man with glasses on and dressed in suits.

" Hello young man. I am Jonathan Montenegro. I am Bill's father."

" You are Mr. Montenegro Agatha told me about." Alex blurted out.

" Indeed" and he laughed his words away. " So you were the one Agatha sent out for Bill's rescue."

" Yes she gave me this task. "

" Bill told me about you. You are a great cook and also a strong trainer especially at such a young age." He complimented him

Alex looked at Bill who revealed about him and said sadly," Yet my Pokemon couldn't take on a Pokemon who was at it's death doorstep. "

" Don't lose your hope young man. Not many can face a pseudo legendary especially an enraged one at that. Although Bill himself didn't see the battle the after shock if I were to believe we're quite extraordinary.

I can see why Agatha let you do this. Since you helped us I think some reward are in order. They will reach your home. Once again thank you for helping me find Bill.

And Bill I expect you to come back soon and no more loitering around here and there." He said sternly and then disconnected the call.

They started to walk towards cafeteria to eat the breakfast there.

" So what do you think of my father?" Bill asked Alex.

" He seemed fine and quite caring too "

" I know right. I think Dad will really be generous with you." Bill said with surity

" And why are you so sure about it?"

" You took on that behemoth and that bright light I saw back then I mentioned that to father. He told me to continue to maintain a good relationship with you. "

" WHY!" while they sat at a table and gave their order to the waiter

" Because according to him since you are so strong and has Agatha support you will at least become a decision maker in the league.

If you don't become an elite four than at the very least you can become a gym leader and a powerful one at that. " He explained

Alex on hearing it was surprised because this was what he wanted to do in the future. If he become an elite four or champion his time will be consumed on these and with him becoming a gym leader he would have more freedom.

He would have a temporary gym leader in his gym who could take them on. As for what type gym leader he could become in the future there are many options - flying, ghost even bug type would do.

After all the eight main city gyms had long history and served the league well so if he try to overthrow them he might have some resistance in his way.

He has no desire to be the strongest gym leader just enough that his gym isn't disbanded.

" Your father really is far sighted." He said

" I know. According to him far sightedness is crucial for business and future development. " Bill said while they both started to eat.

"So what might your father reward me with?" Alex asked.

" I can only tell you about only one reward.it would be really useful for you especially in the wild . It is a travelling phone. "

" And how will this phone help me. The phone network isn't in all places so how will it help me in the wild. " Alex asked

" Because now these aren't mass produced. All the phones have a special network connection so even in the wild network won't be affected. With Agatha it isn't a problem for you to get one. Hell if I can get one then how can't you get one yourself. " He explained

" And what Happened to your phone?" Alex asked

" It was destroyed when we first faced the tyranitar. I was only able to call them that I am in trouble and needed help. Rest I can't reveal so they sent you.

If they knew I was chased by a tyranitar they would send off a much experienced and powerful Trainer no offense to you."

" None taken I too would make such a decision. " Alex said and nodded along with him

" But this was also good. We both got a new friend to ourselves. Isn't that great." Bill said enthusiastically.

Alex just looked at Bill blankly.

" What Happened Alex? Did something happened to my face?" And Bill started to Pat his face and run to remove whatever happened to his face.

" Nothing. You were so quiet in the forest and now you are almost as talkative as Lance."

" Well I didn't know you well back then and since you helped me so you are my friend. And who is this Lance"

" He is my friend from johto. He never knows when to shut up. He can go on and on for hours and not lose his breathe even once.

And you are almost the same. I shudder to think what would happen when you meet each other. I don't want to look at what happened when you meet each other or I will really have a headache."

" Hey I am not that annoying. I am awesome and noone is my equal on conversation." He said proudly not taking his words as an insult.

" I need to report it back to Agatha and also get some Pokemon capable to fight because my current ones aren't capable and I want to challenge the gym here. "

He left and went off to report to Agatha.

He dialed Agatha and her image came on the screen.

" Alex congratulations on your task completion."

" So you already know about it."

" Jonathan called me on mission completion. It was really impressive that you faced a tyranitar."

" I still lost. Even eight on one and I can't beat an injured pokemons. "

" He was a pseudo legendary , Alex. They got that title for a reason. Still if the explosion and the blast was to take notice you have grown.

When your pokemons reach pseudo king level you will know what power pokemons truly wield.

From this level every rise in power brings great change in pokemons. In a year or two your electabuzz , Slowking and Pidgeot can probably reach this level.

So don't feel bad and since you are in lavender town are you going to challenge the gym there?"

" Yes now my Pokemon are injured so I was gonna call back Slowking, butterfree and Pidgeotto for battle. Haunter wasn't much hurt so he too will fight him.

I can do 4-on-4 battle. I also need to focus on training pokemons more intensively so I can't be without pokemon for long. ".

" Don't worry. You officially become a trainer five months ago. You managed to raise so many pokemons an even train some to advance level is impressive.

You should take your time and learn. This Mission was not only to search for Bill but also to train your mind. You are strong at a very young age. You will find that not many your age are as strong as you are.

This Mission was to train your mentality. In that place continuous facing the wild attacks is similar to training you for the real wilderness. Because of the danger there it is also called Badlands.

You are a seeded member for the league so you will have to experience at least a week there before the youth tournament. I will keep giving you similar mission where sometimes you will be bored out of your mind or you would suffer continuous attacks or even too tired.

These will help you later and what you gain from these experience is up to you.

Also your reward will be with the gym leader there. I know him and he can also give you good advice. Listen to him. Also good luck with your future match " And she switched off the phone.

Alex then called back home and asked for Slowking, Pidgeotto and butterfree for battle. He didn't reveal what he faced in the forest and was preparing his strategy to face the gym leader.

Alex will have his next gym battle soon. Who is the ghost gym leader and how will it go? Stay tuned
