109 A new companion (1/2)
While waiting for Willow,
” So Daniel do you often act as referee for the gym battles?” Alex asked
” Hmmm. No grandpa only asks me once in a while to act as referee if he feels I can learn something while observing the battle.” He told.
”Do you know Alex , Daniel over here is one of the best trainer in the younger generation.” Bill told him
” Is that so?” Alex looked at Daniel with more interest than before. He has already felt Daniel wasn't ordinary and to be hailed as one if the strongest even in younger generation is awesome as well as honorable.
” I can't match you though. You are better than me. ” Daniel plainly said
” Don't be so modest. I became an official trainer just this year and have been that for around six months.” Alex told
” I am not underestimating myself. You are strong. I don't think I could last long along that Slowking of yours.
If your pokemons are as strong as him then you are way ahead of me.” He said
” Slowking is currently my strongest pokemons ( overall when taking in regards physical strength, special strength and speed along with endurance) others are weaker than me.
And my pokemons are still too young to be added to the abacus. ” Alex explained his thoughts
” Anyway why did Agatha say she would send the task reward here? Do you know her well?” Alex asked curious.
Daniel just looked at him blankly while Bill nearby facepalmed heavily and fell on the ground in shock.
” You don't know ” Bill asked shocked
”I don't know, what?” He asked puzzled
” You really don't know about it. Seriously.” For the first time since Alex met Daniel , he showed another expression in addition to the bored lazy look, a new experience if utter surprise.
” Can you please elaborate what I don't know?” He asked agitated with these two dragging on the question.
” Well Agatha and me are related. She is my grandma . She is my grandpa younger sister.”
” Own sister?” He asked
” Own sister” he replied
” So I can see why she sent me here and even sent some info about me when she told not to spread words around for my own protection. But there should be something more here . What could be her reason to send me here.”
” And reason was to introduce you to Daniel. He is also a former participant of indigo league.
He will take part this year too so she thought it would be good for you to meet each other and have a healthy rivalry among yourself.
You don't have many friends. You needed someone to talk to similar to Daniel. Genius can't interact well with average people a d so they tend to be lonely.
With you both together you can also improve each other's communication skills.” A voice came from behind.
When the three turned towards the source of voice, they saw it was Willow who came back with some boxes.
” Come around Alex let me show you your gifts.” He motioned ” if you don't mind they too can see it.” He looked over the two extra people.
” I don't mind.” He replied after the adventure he knew Bill enough not to cause him problem and since the other is from Agatha's family who helped him a lot and also antisocial so he won't reveal much or anything about him so he agreed.
Firstly, Willow took out a box and gave it to him first. ” This is one of the two gifts the Silph president wanted to give you. Come on open it up.”
