195 CHAPTER 6: Alexs ultimate weapon (1/2)

” Indeed. I was never able to fool you, Grandpa.” He said while laughing at himself for falling into sucha trap.

Alex thought that he was leading them away from the main topic and protected himself from his family's wrath and the future serious talks he was sure to get. But, in the end he was the one who was led out.

” So Alex can you please tell us the truth?” Gwen asked with a hint of pleading in her voice.

Alex who was standing, walks up to a chair and sat on it with a heavy sigh.

” Truth isn't always a good thing, mom. There is a reason some truth shall never see the light.” He tried to be secretive.

” But no matter how much someone tried to hide the truth,it will come to light someday. This is also an eternal truth.” His father countered his previous argument.

” I cannot refute this statement.”Alex conceded in the end and started to narrate the story from the start,”When facing the Gengar, I lost in that battle. He defeated electabuzz easily but he didn't continue to fight. ”

” Why? Why did he do it?” Arthur asked since he felt because Gengar started the fight it was odd that he stopped midway.

” It is all thanks to you, dad.” Alex said but Arthur doesn't know what he meant by that. So to clear his doubt,Alex continues,”Because after learning from Dad, I was going to face a Gengar from the pokemon tower, Professor oak sent one of his pokemons to oversee the whole situation.

He must have felt the presence of professor oak. and he didn't continue to fight me. After all, even if Gengar is strong, he cannot match the monsters under Professor Oak.” He said with a hint of yearning in his tone. Alex wishes to have similar Pokemons with him.

Alex eyes suddenly shone and his eyes were brighter than before. Michael who saw that look felt Alex may have another trip under his sleeve,and became vigilant. ” But there was another reason he followed me. It was the pokecube i made for my Pokemons.” Alex said to his parents and grandpa.

” Is there something special about the pokecube you make?” Michael asked his grandson. He thought to himself,' What is so special about them that he feels he can escape from us when we got him trapped?'

This question put Alex in sone thoughts. He felt he can tell his family about the origin of pokecube as well as some other secrets of his but then he restrained himself as he felt it may put his family in peril. But, the fear of scolding from his family made him reveal it to them.

Seeing Alex expression, Michael, Arthur and Gwen understood that it was something big or else Alex won't hide things from them.

Alex was mature enough and if things were too complicated he didn't like to involve other people in his matters. And this situation seemed similar to those times. These were the thoughts of the elders of the family.

Gwen tried to say,” If it is a very big thing, you don't need to tell us. But can you give us a clue why you can't tell us.”

Alex took a deep breath and and started,” The thing regarding the pokecube involves two very important secrets of mine. It isn't that i don't want to tell you, but the second one is a bit complicated.

If that things comes to light before I am strong enough then we, and I mean everyone in the family including Ben and Clara , would be in a problem.

And we would have to reside in the Pallet town. If anyone of us leave that place, we would have many people after us just for the sake of information that second secret rekates to.” He said cryptically.

These words turned the face of every one grave.

” Is the secret so big amd dangerous?” Arthur asked both curious and frightened at the same time.
