200 CHAPTER 10 : The new era is coming (2/2)

” What ? What do you say , Blue?” Red asked while puzzled by his intervention.

” He is eleven and a few months now. You said he was twelve. ”

” I just round figured his age” Ted wasn't willing to lose from this rival of his in anything and countered back.

”Even if we round figure it, it will still be eleven.” Blue retorted.

And before things could escalate a cough disrupted their actions. Both turned to the source of the cough. It was Green and behind Gwen were some vines of Venasaur waving around waiting for his trainers command to act.

Blue quickly turned his tune and said,” From what I saw him act and train in his times at the laboratory and taking into account his aura user ability, I believe that it would take him at least an year to recover.

What do you think, dear? ”

Green blushed slightly at the question and said,” I don't know him well enough. I only know about him from Daisy or what you all tell me about so I cannot say how long it will take for him to recover.”

” Dad we all have expressed our view on this matter. Why don't you tell yours too.” Blue said when he saw his wife glaring when he sniggered at her reply.

” It is already my turn, huh. If it was normal times it would take Alex almost a year to recover but it isn't the case now. Now, I think he would be completely fine within six months time. ” this answer was way too surprising. To think it is almost the same duration of time it took to for most of these people ( Blue, green, red) to overcome the first Tide experience years ago.

” Why?” Red asked his elderly mentor.

Oak simply replied,”As for why I think so. He loves his brother and sister a lot. He wants to protect them ftom everything he could and not let them suffer.

His mother is pregnant. Her expected date of birth is a few days after Green's and a couple days before Delia's. His new twins siblings will be of the same age group as your kids.

Their appearance will help him penetrate the fog of confusion that shroud his heart and help him get over it. ”

The other three were quite sceptic about this but they didn't object him.

Seeing none of them objecting him, Samuel just smiled but he inwardly thought, 'good thing they didn't ask more or i don't know how i will answer them.

I can't say I met an older Alex who mentioned about his first Tide experience to us back then and I use it as a reference for the treatment.' almost everyone even the Pokemons were convinced that this might work and this was why he did what he really did with Alex.

But his own pokemons just looked at him deadpanned knowing the actual reason and just shook their head in dismay.

Then Samuel said something which brought complete and utter silence in the room.

” Now everyone will follow our lead ” Samuel said seriously.

Although he didn't clarify what the others will follow, they were smart enough to understand what he meant. ” I don't know how many genius will perish in this new round of competition between the different regions.” Red said and lowers his head regarding the chaos which is going to happen in the future.

” But it will greatly enhance the strength of this generation of trainers. I think some of them may even reach champion level before the age of twenty. I really look forward to their future. ” Blue said.

” Yet the league won't do it now. It will only begin after Alex is completely fine and had restarted his journey.” Green said.

” Indeed. The next step will begin when Alex takes the next step. ” Samuel said,” The era of my generation is over. Yours has begun and The new era of the monsters is also coming. The genius will be tempered and those who qualify would be the monsters of this generation.” He said while looking out of the window at the setting sun.

How will the other regions react to Alex's participation in the Pokemon Tide? Stay tuned.
