So at most only two eggs can be won along with four Pokemon given as a reward.

The rewards of the tournament seems too luxurious to Alex so he decided to ask Bill.

After touring around the cruise top deck with his Pokemons, Alex saw Bill discussing something with the Captain of the ship.

Since Alex wants to talk to his friend about the reward distribution he waits there until the discussion comes to a halt.

They talked for about half an hour after which he comes down from the cabin. Bill saw Alex looking at the open ocean with his pokemons and doing nothing else, so he called out Alex,” Hey Alex. Are you waiting for me?”

Alex turns to look at Bill and smiles in greetings and said,” Yeah, I was waiting for you. You were discussing something with the captain so I didn't bother to interrupt you.”

Anyway, my Talk with Captain was related to you. I was telling him about increasing the duration of stop on the Lucky island and Alto Mere you told me about.”

Alex didn't like this and grumbled, ”You don't have to do this?'

Bill just shrugs and continue,”The Togepi line along with the legendary Eon Pokemons are something I too want to see with my own eyes. So it is also for my own benefit so don't think I did it just for you. ”

Alex just smiled and said nothing on this, but his heart warns on hearing this.

Bill smiles in return to Alex's smile and the asked,” So what is it you want to talk to me about?”

Alex asked,” Bill why do your company give such luxurious reward, because it says every cruise under your name do it.”

Bill just smiles mysteriously and said,” It is very simple.” His eyes then shove brightly,” did the great Alex Bart cannot interpret what this mean?”

Alex just looked at him dryly and said,” I know why your company is so overly generous to the trainer, but I don't know what they can accomplish from it?”

Bill looks at his friend and saw the confidence with which he know why they do it,but he still felt sceptic and decides to wait until he explains,” So what conclusion did you reach, Alex?”

These are the bait to hook the fish. But I still don't know what you want to do with them.” Alex told his thoughts.

” You are right about it. We do want to attract the free Lancers, as for why, because we want to expand and the expansion needs security from abled people. ” Bill explained

Alex just nodded, but he still has one doubt,” But won't it cause your company to lose money?”

Bill just smiled at Alex's naivety and explained,” The expansion is pretty big one and so we cannot hire enough people as it will be too costly. So we thought of a way to attract them and your cruise ship event gave us the idea.

This way we can attract enough trainers for our job at a much cheaper rate and we are still the one making profit, from the amount they spend on the Cruise. So it isn't a loss for us.”

Alex is surprised and shook his head in dismay, at the politics and dealings in the dark, but he didn't speak.

While the two friends enjoyed the sun set on the far horizon from the nearly empty deck on this part of the cruise, a startled female shout brought them out of the scenery,” You. What are you doing here? You know it is a VIP zone, kid.

You better apologize to me for the past event, and I may not throw you out of the ship.”

Alex and Bill turns to see a blonde girl and a blunette, whom Bill doesn't know about and Alex recognize them pretty easily as he met them just s few days ago. His pokemons too recognize them, if their hissing was any indication.

They are Elsa Reid and Julius.
