chapter 15 : pokemon raid

Alex under the guidance of the two guards headed for the town hall on the cart drawn by rapidash so they can reach the Town Hall quickly.

As they passed by the street to reach the town hall Alex noticed the street didn't have many people on it. No child was out in the open or on street to play with his friends.

In many houses he saw kids sitting by the window looking at outside with yearning for playing out in the open. The elders were very vigilant abd seemed quick to anger will their facial expressions.

Many shop and stalls by the street seemed closed. Only shops selling the most essential necessity for survival are opened. He also noticed few trainers patrolling the area and searching for something as they patrolled.

Alex was unable to control himself and asked the guards," What happened to the town? Why has its security become do strict and so many shops are shut down?"

The two guards who were taking Alex to the town hall just glanced at each other and we're having thoughts of whether they should reveal everything or not.

" What has made the town turn to this state?" Alex once again asked and this time he released the pressure he developed over the course of his six months of travelling.

Alex has encountered many life death situations and even encountered pseudo champion pokemons in his way. Alex has faced him and didn't back down which has transformed his personna slightly. This made his pressure mutate and become much stronger than someone of his age. His pressure even surpassed some advanced trainers. His pressure amplified by his aura may even exceed peak advanced trainers.

For the guards who are generally stationed at the town it is too much and the rapidash who draw their cart was having problems and he began to lose balance under his pressure.

The rapidash cane to a halt and the two guards started shaking under his influence. The two weren't too incompetent and manged to mutter out," W..we ww..iilll reveal everything once we reach the Town Hall. Please calm down sir."

Alex looked at their eyes to see whether they are tricking him and then agreed to their request and receeded the presence back. This made the two guards, the driver and rapidash breathe out air in relief.

All of them thought,' he is so young yet so strong. With him here our chances of survival increases greatly.' Instead of being afraid of being in Alex presence like any sane would do under such intense pressure, they all were gratified with his presence.

This made Alex have some assumptions of what the situation might be. And fir that serious assumption Alex doesn't want to come out as reality. It is a really serious problem if it was true. And Gengar's words that,' There is a serious problem in front of him' made him even more worried.

After riding the cart for twenty minutes they reached the town hall which was located at the center of the Sky town. It was more grander than his hometown floral town town hall but was much less impressive as compared to any big city.

After they reached the town hall the two guards opened the door for him and quickly took him inside the gate after speaking something at the one on the door. The two led him towards inside towards the source of noise which Alex heard the moment he enter the town hall.

After reaching a door where much shouting was going on, one of the two guards knocked the door and after hearing a come in , he entered. What the guard spoke inside he doesn't know but it has calmed the previous shouting which was happening earlier.

After a few minutes the guards motioned him and the other guard to enter. As soon as Alex entered through the door many eyes were directed towards him.

Soon a loud " hmm" was heard from a man in his mid thirties standing at the corner. He sneered at Alex and said," Is this kid really advanced level trainer? I know there are some genius out there who are able to reach it at this stage but all of them are too famous.

Wallace and Steven stone in Hoenn, Cynthia in Sinnoh, Diantha and Sycamore in Kalos. And I don't remember seeing this brat anywhere in the news. I bet he is cheating or had some backdoor dealing with the league official to get this status."

Then he looked at Alex and said," Let me tell you something kid, this isn't a playground here. You better go to the pokemon center and remove your status as advanced trainer or you may suffer.

Many people dream of this status their entire life and so don't kid around with their dreams . Here is adult meetings not some child play along going on here. Now scram." He motioned Alex to leave with his hands and turned around to not look at Alex.

Alex just looked at him then looked at other people present at the room. Worth their attire he was able to guess that there were some big people of the town present. There was the mayor of the town, the captain of town Garrison and even the gym leader was present here.

There were a few town official and some leutinent who followed the captain and some trainers in their thirties , forties and even fifties. And with what the person said to Alex and his comment and taunt on his advanced trainer status he felt they all were advanced trainer.

With all these people present the warning bell in Alex mind was ringing over time and he was reaching the same dangerous conclusion he reached when he put together all the pieces of the puzzle when he rode the cart towards the Town Hall. This conclusion made his arms shake and even brought a certain fear in Alex.

So Alex calmed himself down and asked," What is the situation in the town? why does it seem like the town is in state of emergency?"

The previous aggitated man this time roared at Alex and said," Why you brat? Didn't I tell you here is adult gathering only . Leave quickly. " And to reinforce the idea of leaving he even sent out his presence at Alex.

It might have been too much for normal kids of Alex's age but not for Alex. And the surrounding people were angered at the man for releasing his pressure at the young boy and shouted," James hold back your aura. He is just a boy. How dare you do something like this ? Remove it or I won't leave you. " He too released his presence at James.

" Do you think I am afraid of you, Mike. Come on then I will take you on?" The now identified James yelled.

With all the previous deduction, being ridiculed and underestimated along with the heavy pressure that Alex felt if his conclusion was true put a toll on normally calm Alex once more and he released his own presence. The moment he did so the presence of the two men James and Mike faded away as if they don't exist and all the people looked at Alex as if he was some sort of monster.

James and Mike were surprised at being subdued so easily by a little kid but Alex ignored their gaze and said while biting his lower lips," what is really happening? Why is there so many wild pokemons around the town? Why is the town in state of emergency? Don't tell me that it is happening?"

That situation was so dire that he didn't even say it's name. just left it nameless but all of them knew what it meant.

So the oldest man sitting at the middle who is most probably the mayor of the town said," Yes what you think is true. We are having a Pokemon raid."

And the pokemon riot is finally happening. Why did Alex and others take it so seriously? Stay tuned
