188 chapter 68 (2/2)
” It is his oath. He took an oath of reaching the peak and leaving his legend in the world so that people could remember him for many years to come.
This is his most sincere dream. He doesn't want to lose his identity and name in the sands of time, he yearn to be immortalised and the people to remember him for ages.
This dream is what fuel him to continue forward no matter what obstacle he face. And he will not give up, his dream won't allow that. ” Slowking elaborated.
Electabuzz seems to remish the past and said,” He often tell us during the tough training session when we thought of giving up ,' Legends can lose, can be injured but they cannot lose hope and they can never give up. The moment you give up, you lose your path to the goal of the future.'
He used it fuel our ambition and help us reach our current level. We didn't have the amount of resources you all enjoy back then. Every strength we gain is under his strict training or we could have become king Pokemon by now. His enthusiasm, will, dream and support is what guide us forward. ”
” But he can still give up? He is still too young and most humans his age cannot withstand this level of pressure. They break down. I still say we should do something to help .” Espeon wasn't willing to let Alex beat down and recover on his own. Who knows if they don't do anything what may happen to Alex.
She cared too much for him and can't just stand and see him hurting, so she tried to force these two senior members of the team to help.
Electabuzz didn't take kindly to it and said harshly,”Enough. He would be alright. He doesn't need our babying.You don't need to worry. If he can't even handle this then I would be the first to leave the group.”
Slowking and Espeon eyes widened in shock in hearing this but Slowking then sighed in understanding. Even though electabuzz joined to team later than him and pidgeot, he was closest to Alex.
No one could understand Alex better than him and this threat is enough toforce Alex to speed things up if he really cannot handle the pressure and the shock.
” We should calm down and not fight within ourselves. We will return back to Floral Town in the next couple of days and we don't want his family to worry about us.
It would only increase the burden of Alex. We should also try to overcome our weaknesses that were revealed when we fought our opponents during this time.
We were lucky enough to win once but luck won't be on our side forever. We have to grow stronger and train even harder when he return so we can protect him.” Slowking tried to change the topic to their training and spoke out with a hint of hardness daring either of them to retort his words.
Then Slowking gathered them around him and they teleport away to Alex.
With Alex,
Alex was lost in the fight. He was releasing all the pent up emotion, frustration and pressure he experienced in his time as the commander against his opponents. He had lost count of how many pokemons lost their life under his attacks in the past one hour.
His guardians made sure that he wasn't attacked when he wasn't looking .
The area around Alex was a miniature meat grinder in which any Pokemon who enters meet his end at Alex's hand.
Slowking arrived at Alex side via teleport startling Alex who retorted with a heavy staff swing which hit electabuzz hard on his head.
After the hit, the retaliating electric shock from the bipedal electric type returned him to his senses and he asked,” Has your battle ended?”
They just nodded back or in electabuzz case glared at him for the hard hit.
” Then swiftly end things here, the battle has dragged for far too long.”
When they arrived, Alex knew they could easily deal with the upcoming pokemons as he felt Slowking advanced further in the last fight.
Slowking and electabuzz went all out.
Slowking started needle rain , meanwhile electabuzz created a thunderstorm in which lightning fell wherever he wished in a hundred metre radius around him.
Under their brutal attacks, the wild Pokemons lost all hopes and finally decided to run into the forest to escape for their life.
The Pokemon tide had finally came to an end.
Next will be the aftermath of the Pokemon tide and Alex returning back home. Stay tuned...
