71 Regaining Resolve (2/2)

The elder Trainers like Samuel and blue knew about the pressure Alex was experiencing and this was the objective of Samuel.

He wanted to see how he handled it. He felt soon Alex will admit defeat but who knew their was such spirit in the young pokemon.

Pokemons have stronger instincts compared to humans. Just by standing around a pokemon they knew the gap.

Some lose all hope in the face of absolute disparity. And here a Eevee who was much weaker than the other two came to challenge Charizard this was impressive to say the least.

Alex however wasn't impressed he feared for Eevee and quickly shouted,” Come back Eevee. You can't take on someone like him. We will admit defeat. ”

But She just looked at him defiantly and then turned at Charizard and then it glowed white.

This phenomenon surprised all.

In place of a brown Eevee stood a quadruped, mammalian Pokémon with slender legs and dainty paws. It is covered in fine, lilac fur.Its ears are large, and it has purple eyes with white pupils. There are tufts of fur near its eyes, and a small, red gem embedded in its forehead.

It also has a thin forked tail. It was an Espeon.

After evolving she turned to look at Alex. He was shocked by the strange move of Eevee earlier but her surprising evolution reminded Alex.

If they lose courage now, he might lose the courage of battling the strong. The one in front is the real top of the world unlike the champion who are just the publicly declared strongest.

Just like Eevee evolved now he should use it to evolve his heart and become fearless. Thinking things careful is important but to face challenge and erupt victorious is what strong strives for

In this battle he can never backdown. He can lose but not admit defeat.

Alex knew if he admitted defeat he could never overcome the shadow in his heart and never reach the peak

Alex now laughed loudly. All the pokemons and Daisy thought he has gone mad but Blue, Samuel and Charizard in front knew his heart has stablished.

Now he has got the heart of strong. One

can lose but not backdown.

Of course Charizard also did something surprising. He just took a few steps back.

Seeing this strange behavior, Blue asked ,” What happened dad?”

Samuel just smiled and said,” Don't worry. He was just surprised. When we were young a Espeon badly beated him and disciplined him according to her. That shadow hasn't recovered till now. ”

' I still remember how he acted in front of her and irritated her. She had him hang in the air and made him fall many times.

He was so scared of it that he got a phobia of heights after that.Only I remember how much effort I took to help him fly.'

Charizard just growled in hearing that and all others just found it strange.

The pokemons who were there at that time like Dragonite also laughed mirthfully with her trainer even Alakazam's mustache shared around showing he too found it funny.

Blue then just looked at them strangely and then asked Alex,” Are you ready or will you admit defeat?”

Alex just answered,”I will lose but won't admit defeat. Let show them our will Espeon.”

” Espeon”

Now that Alex has regained his spirit, Alex once again ready to challenge the unsurmountable mountain in front
