124 chapter 6 - dealing with rouges (1/2)
Alex after leaving the pokemon center followed the directions nurse joy had given to reach the herbal store in the sprout village. He headed there with his Pikachu on his shoulders.
The path they were going on was pretty deserted at the moment and his Pikachu seemed to hear some sounds and looked here and there.
Alex just rubbed his ears softly and said,” I know buddy. We are being followed. Be prepared for some pests.”
Pikachu was serious and even sent some Sparks from his cheeks to show he is ready.
As they turned around the corner, the trailing shadows appeared in front of him. There were about six people who followed him.
They were all dressed as villagers and had a cruel look on their face. Alex looked around himself to see they each only had a single pokemon but thought not many get even a single pokemon in their life let alone a small village like this.
They could get a pokemon and raise the pokemon here meant they were pretty high up in the village related to some rich people or even head of village. But for Alex they were nothing.
Normally if someone was in such a situation he would be frightened or at least nervous but Alex has faced multiple life death scenario till now. Even the Pidgeot incident in his childhood was scarier than now let alone this situation can't be compared.
So Alex asked,” is there anything I can do for you? Can you move out of the way I am in a hurry ?” He said calmly.
One of them who was probably their leader considering his clothes seemed more expensive than the rest said,” Did you see here boys, a little brat asked us to move out of his way.” And he laughed loudly.
And the others followed him in laughter.
” Hahahaha”
Seeing them laughing at Alex, Pikachu was angry and seemed ready a thunderbolt at the leader but Alex calmed him down.
Seeing Alex not reacting to his mockery, the leader of the group of rouges said,” You brat, leave everything you have here and we might let you
leave. ” his expression was that of him fooling Alex
Alex seeing his Expression knew they were lying and they would probably kill him after stealing from him but he still remained calm and said,” if I don't do it ?”
” Then don't think of leaving here alive kid.” He said sinisterly.
” Aren't you afraid someone would complain and you might get arrested.” Alex said trying to get more information about them.
”Guys did you hear him? We are getting arrested ”
” Hahahaha”
” Kid let me tell you, we took down many disobedient brats like you who didn't listen to us. As for us getting arrested, I am the son if the village head. No one in the village could threaten me.
And since you know my identity you don't need to live.”
He released his pokemon which was a Graveller.
His surrounding friends too sent out their pokemons. They were the most common oddish, raticate and Spearow.
