196 chapter 7 : Escape (1/2)

When Alex mentioned the name Mew,the elderly trio of the Bart Family, shouted out loud in unison,”WHAT”

Had it not been for the barrier that his water and psychic type pseudo king level Pokemon Slowking erected to prevent any disclosure of secret, their shocked shout would have beenheard in the Floral town too, which is only a couple kilometers away from their current location.

Alex is surprised at his family's reaction as well as the fact that his father fell on the ground. He never thought they will react so enthusiastically over this small news.

And before he could help his father stand up to his feet, his grandfather reached out to him and grabbed his shoulder. He started to shake him .

” What do you mean by that Alex? Have you really seen Mew? Are we even talking about the same Mew?” Michael asked what shaking his grandson back and forth in excitement.

He didn't know what to make of their over enthusiastic behaviour until he remembers that Mew is just a cheerful, friendly and powerful Pokemon but she is also a legendary Pokemon which many spend their entire life searching around for and can not see even a glimpse of her before their death.

Many people consider a family member especially a trainer who see a Legendary Pokemon as a matter of great honor and pride. They often brag about it throughout their life to their friends and neighbors.

But it isn't that big deal for Alex. He knows the dwelling place of some Legendary Pokemons and have already encountered two of them in his first year of adventure.

He is sure of the fact that he will encounter at least one more in the form of celebi in his life even if he doesn't actively strive to search for them.

Alex got a grip of himself and broke himself free from his Grandpa's hold and said,” Calm down, grandpa. Since you know how incredible it is to meet mew then you should know just how dangerous it will be for us if we broadcast this matter to others.”

Gwen by his side is confused by this. Same is the case with the other two elders of the family. But Gwen beat them in asking,” Why do you want to hide it? It doesn't matter if people know or not, many people out there have seen Legendary Pokemons. What is the thing that makes you hide about your encounter with her.

It isn't like you meet her often and she even visits you every now and then, is it? ” She asked the last thing absentmindedly.

Her surprise question has changed Alex facial expression for a brief moment which is seen by Arthur and Michael.

Arthur hurriedly rose and stood up. He held his son's shoulders firmly and asked,” Alex do you meet her often? Does she still visit you?”

Alex was thinking about how much he should say but decided since this can help him delay the inevitable news of the Pokemon tide, he might as well use this information to drag the matter to the next day.

” Uuhhh.... Dad, the thing is that not only I but you all have met her . When she arrives here, she has met everyone including the twins.” He revealed the hidden secret.

” What do you mean even we have met her?” He asked puzzled not sure what he implies by these words.

” Mew is a wanderer. Unlike most legendary who doesn't seem to interact with the life of ordinary people and pokemons, she likes to wander around and see the world around. She can be considered as one of those Legendary pokemons who is often in touch with theworld.

But her appearance might cause some problemsfor not only her but also for the people whom she appears in front of. So she doesn't appear in front of people in her true form.

She is similar to ditto. She can transform into any Pokemon she wishes to be without any hint of transformation evident on her. She sometimes come to the farm in disguise to play with her friends. ” He explained it and told them how they may have met her.

” Friends what do you mean by that Alex? Who are her friends?” His still confused mother asked.

Alex took a deep breathe and narrated the story about how he met a wild Eevee in the forest and she later turned out to be mew. What role she played in the Ralts birth, in Claydol as well as a guide for Slowking and Espeon in their Psychic powers.

How she often comes around to see if time with Eevee, Ralts and other kid pokemons on the teamalong with Ben and Clara.
