47 The Aftermath (2/2)
Unlike what they thought, now Alex smiled a bit,” You mean Pidgeot”
” Pidgeot?”*2
”eeevvv...”
they were puzzled.
” Yeah Pidgeot. He evolved over time. Now he is a Pidgeot.”
” So do you often go to visit him.” Lorelei asked this time.
” Visit? hahaha he lives with us. ”
” Why? Didn't this all happened because of him?” Lance asked shocked and both Lorelei and Eevee agreed with him.
” It happened due to his coloration. No one can judge someone based on his birth. I was angry at the beginning, but both Sandslash and taurus supported him so I later forgave him.”
” So he lived with you. Did your father catch it? or is it still wild ” Lance asked
” I used my grandpa's pokeball to catch it. You could also say he is my first pokemon, my starter.”
”wait. Wasn't Haunter your starter?” Lance asked quickly
” Haunter is my official starter while Pidgeot is my unofficial one. My parents had me raise him, take care of it, train it , make it's food , etc. ”
Lance considered Alex his lifetime opponent so knowing that he had another pokemon he wanted to know it's strength,” How strong is it?”
”Probably peak advanced to initial elite level” he said plainly
” Your pokemon is already that strong. how ? what? when?”Lance questioned him
” it was my grandpa who graded him. I trained him using my ideas and it helped that he felt as guilty as me so he too trained hard.”
Lance was shocked at knowing the strength of his Pidgeot but Lorelei wanted to confirm ,” So your Pidgeot could take on that Umbreon?”
”Yep. He would have cut him to shreds.” he said,” I trained his wind to be sharp enough to cut a rock the size of a golem easily. He also know giga impact and hyper beam along with brave bird and sky attack. ”
” Talk about overpowered Pokemon.” Lance muttered.
” Do you know how much I spent on raising him? I often took him to the forest to find some things to sell with Taurus and Sandslash. I spent more than a few million on raising him well. Do you think just anyone could raise advanced level Pokemon.” He angrily told Lance.
” So why is it not with you?” Lorelei asked
” We agreed that when I return home, we will have a match with my Pokemons to beat it and formally catch him . if I failed he would continue to guard my family.” he answered.
” Why do this? if you had him you may enter top 4 in the league.” Lance asked him puzzled.
” if I can't even raise my Pokemon well enough to take him on then I might as well give up being a trainer. I could use all my six pokemons to take him on. I am not a fool to have one on one match now. Even if I had a Gengar it Charizard by then they couldn't take on a much experienced pokemon.”
They all nodded in agreement.
Lance seeing the dark sky told,” We should get going. You too should rest.” And they left
Alex too was mentally exhausted so he too fell asleep as soon as he laid on the bed, with Eevee curling nearby to sleep.
Unknown to Alex, his Haunter and butterfree used their psychic to bond with Eevee and heard everything she hear. All the pokemons were bonded so this story was heard by all.
This also motivated them. Swinub and butterfree not to make him suffer again , while Haunter and Charmeleon to become strong and challenge the eldest pokemon of them all.
While Pidgeotto wanted to see it's evolved form and she wanted to see how see would fare from his attacks.
This story helped bring the team together and also gave them an imaginary opponent to take on. They all now wanted to.be stronger to protect him better in the future.
Let's stay tuned to see what happens next?
