198 chapter 8 : Mews intervention (1/2)

Alex has rushed into his room and closed the door behind him with a loud bang. Just a few moment later, Slowking arrived there through the teleport.

Alex looked at his psychic Pokemon who just smirked at his trainers haggard appearance.

Their eye remained in contact until Alex averted his eyes and grumbled,”Fine, you win I won't run away from home. I will stay here.”

Alex was having thoughts of running away from his family and staying away from them until he has come to terms with the current mental and emotional turmoil he is facing while he led the corps in the Pokemon Tide.

All of his pokemons could make some guess of what he is gonna do with the amount of time they spent with him, and among them Slowking, electabuzz and pidgeot could sometimes predict his next course of action similar to what Slowking did just now.

He even raised an objection pertaining to this and expected his trainer to reconsider the action which he thought of partaking to escape from his current immediate problem.

Alex felt he should escape and protect himself from further questioning which will most probably continue the next time when he head downstairs in the absence of his younger siblings, Ben and Clara.

But, it seemed his Pokemons feel something otherwise. Normally, they would follow his command without objections but when they feel it is necessary for him, they do question his commands although it is normally done when they are alone. If he is strict enough they may follow his command without second thoughts, although they may be a bit reluctant.

” Sometimes I really regret letting you boss me around.” He mumbled while crashing on to his bed. As soon as his body laid on the bed he fell asleep.

Slowking on the other hand looked at his trainer sleeping and then sat on the floor. He knew his trainer may need his help.

Slowking closed his eyes and meditated like most psychic Pokemons do to control their powers and get stronger while keeping an eye out for Alex.

Alex haven't had a complete sleep since the first day when the battle began. He often had nightmares which is kept a secret from most of the Pokemons.

The only ones who know about it are haunter, Espeon and Slowking and that too because they have learned the move ”nightmare”. They are sensitive to the negative energy used for the move and when they felt it from him, they questioned him.

Or more like Espeon had confronted Alex but he rebuked her by saying that there are more important things to do and they cannot spread this to other members of the team. He ordered all three of them and they followed.

But they managed to make him compromise on this matter back then. Either one of the three will be with him while he slept to help him with nightmare and so he could have a good rest.

They often rotated and took turns for this. Today us Slowking's turn.

While he meditated, Alex slowly mumbled on his sleep,” No ... I am sorry. .....No.... No...leave me alone.

It wasn't my fault .... I already warned you.....”

This made Slowking quit his meditation and he looks at Alex with glowing eyes.

He used his psychic to scan his trainer Alex and saw that he is covered in a shady black aura generated mostly from the nightmare.

The aura users are sensitive to the emotions around them. This is their most important source of strength. They feel an amplified version of good and bad emotions. They can also sense the different powers around them and possess a natural affinity to different forms of energy.

Sometimes these emotions can affect the mind of the aura user adversely turning them berserk. This is mostly the case for beginner aura users like Alex.A skilled one could control himself and not be overwhelmed by it.

Samuel had considered the mental health of the young trainer Alex and felt he won't suffer much from his ordeal. But he forgot or didn't know much about the psychology of an aura user .

There are very few aura users in the pokemon world. The reason is because of their sensitivity to energy and emotions. There is much resentment in the world. In the last, The aura users help to deal with the resentment which may affect the environment adversely.

In the end, they becone a buffer zone for the change. The aura user need a strong mind so as not to lose against such resentment. This is why most of the things pertaining to aura are thought from master to student and only one at a time.

This way if the student go berserk his master may calm him and solve it before things go way out of his hands.

Hence, the things Alex experience now is much greater than he or anyone else ever considered . He is suffering from the collective resentment of the death of people who died. Their resentment attached to Alex and they blossom through nightmare in Alex sleep.

There are thousands who lost their life in that battle and suffering from that much resentment at once is enough to turn even a master aura user mad multiple times over.

The thing which helped Alex survive that is the intervention of Mew. She was present around Alex throughout the ordeal. When she saw Alex would suffer too much in that place, and he won't escape the battle, she tried to deal with things.
