210 chapter 19 New life (1/2)

Alex's hand formed a fist which hit Ben hard enough on his head to swell and said,” look at him, Ben. Does he seem like he attack you. You had spent nearly half an year time together since we moved here and yet you are scared just because he evolved and his appearance is scary.

Is that how you want to be a trainer? Is that how you will be better trainer than me? There are more than hundreds of pokemons whose appearance is intimidating after evolution.

Look at Clara, she is a girl but she isn't scared. And yet you are scared of a friend. If this is how you will be then I should prohibit you from becoming a trainer, how will you grow.

You may dump every pokemon who are scary abd how will you survive out there without them? Do you think that the rest of your pokemons will respect you and also follow you that.

They will leave you at the first chance they get. It is easy to break the trust once but it takes a long time to recover back the broken trust and even then it might not be repaired.”

” I am sorry Alex.” Ben mumbled when lowering his head and he was guilty for his action.

Alex expression didn't soothe and he still had a hard look directed at his brother,” it isn't me who you should apologize to.”

Ben then turned and looked at the still trapped Tentacruel. Ben was still scared and any person or pokemon could see that but he steeled his heart, stepped forward and touched the body of tentacruel.

He hugged his body. This surprised everyone and something dawned on to Alex. Ben told tentacruel,” I am sorry. I will not act like that again. I was just surprised and thought something happened to you. I didn't know you had evolved and thought you were gone forever.

Slowking later told me that it was you who evolved and I was afraid you will be angry with me.” Ben revealed his heart to tentacruel

Alex had motioned ivysaur to free the trapped Pokemon and after the restrains were gone, tentacruel rose his tentacles and bound Ben small body.

His current actions put everyone on alert and had it not been for Alex stopping them, tentacruel would suffer their wrath.

Tentacruel had actually hugged his friend and patted his head telling he forgave him.

Ben didn't know what his actions meant but Alex revealed,” tentacruel forgave you. You cannot do that in the future. You may hurt someone seriously in the future. Also you will be learning more about pokemons everyday so this kind of thing doesn't happen anymore. Do you understand, Ben?”

Ben knew it was his neglect in studies which lead to this and he agreed.

Clara also knew what really happened courtesy of Slowking and laughed at her twin.

” I knew you were an idiot. ” Clara sneered at her twin.

” What do you mean?” He shouted back.

” It is obvious. Earlier you and tentacool won the water games when Gyarados was a magikarp. After evolving we started winning back.

He evolved to help you and you only angered him. In the end, you were an idiot, idiot ” she attacked her brother with word arrows.

” You.... You. Let's go tentacruel. Today we will beat down Clara and Gyarados. ” He rushed and jumped to the lake along with Clara who wasn't willing to accept defeat.

Tentacruel was surprised by the sudden changes and then looked at his trainer for permission. He nodded back and the newly evolved water pokemons along with Ben and Clara started the water race.

Everyone just smiled at the change of behaviour while the baby pokemons except riolu and larvitar joined this game.

Alex looked at the scene and mumbled,” I was a coward. Ben can overcome his fears and yet here I am running from it. In the end, I still have much to learn.”

And Alex took his first step to overcoming the inner darkness that Alex suffered from since the riot.

Alex stood at the shore while looking at them play in the lake. Alex decided to end the training session and everyone sat by the lake to enjoy the weather.

But two pokemon weren't so happy. It was larvitar and Growlithe.

Both of them doesn't like water much and the fact that others were playing in water leaving them out made them sad.

Alex sat by the lake and pulled larvitar on his lap while softly brushed Growlithe fur to help them.

Alex was slowly recovering from the shadows and he was getting relieved. Although the dark clouds in his heart didn't fade away completely it still helped.

Every pokemon of Alex felt he was more free today then the past few days and so they wanted to play with him.
