Jim had jumped off Snorlax stomach and ran to Alex. He arrived near him and said with excitement,” Alex, you were so cool back there. Can I become as strong as you? can I, can I ?”

Alex just rubbed his head in embarrassment and said,” Of course as long as you are willing to work hard and believe in your companion, your Houndour. He won't lose to my Pokemon in the future.” He looked at the quadruple animal who was looking at him with admiration, awe and respect.

And then an additional weight was experienced by Alex, as Pikachu and Swablu both of them have claimed their position.

Alex just smiled at that and met Mathew midway who was bring congratulated by his family. His uncle and grandpa were there and awaited his arrival. Looking at his appearance, Mathew greeted with a smile.

” Alex, you did wonderful out there.” His grandpa praised him.

” We are really lucky to see battle at this level. To see a battle of this level is really rare. ” His uncle, Gray added his thoughts.

Electabuzz was standing at the side ad Snorlax stood nearby or more like laid on the ground.

Mathew handed him the gym badge and said”you are strong enough to earn the gym badge so take it.”

Alex looked at another three star badge and then put it in his pocket.

Jim pulled his shirt's sleeves and asked curious why he got the badge even if he lost the battle,” Alex you lost, so why did you get the gym badge!”

” A trainer can get the gym badge as long as he shows enough ability required for the gym badge. So even if you lose, if you can make the gym leader feel you have the capability, you will get the gym badge .” He explained the reason behind it.

” You are stronger than rumoured, Alex ” Mathew said about Alex, while Alex just smiled at that.

” What do you mean, dad?” Daisy asked her father.

” Alex had grown stronger in the past few months. ” He simply stated without revealing anything.

' Alex here have a reputation in Kanto and almost every gym leader know about his existence. Some of his pokemon's existence are also known to us.

But, Gyarados as well as tentacruel presence was an unknown existence. They can easily defeat any advanced level Pokemon and had a fifty percent chance against an elite pokemon.

These pokemons are his hidden ace. And these are only water types. There are Pikachu and Swablu too who are at least intermediate level.' he thought while looking at the two pokemons who were seated on his shoulder and head.

' even if he had only this strength then it would work for that matter.'

He looked at his wife who felt his eyes on her. They communicated quietly and came to a decision which Mathew had made everyone known.

” Alex, how long are you staying in the Cerulean city?” Mathew asked.

Alex cocked his head sideways thinking why he asked this question and then answered,”My cousin got his starter pokemon yesterday but because of my match today, we decided to head out today after the battle. Is there something?”

” Yes. I need a favour from you.” He said.

” Favour? What favour?”

Daphne continued after that,” You see Daisy here is of the age to start her official trainer career. But, we fear she cannot take care of herself out there as we sheltered our kids a bit too much, so we hope you can guide her for sometime before she can get herself aquainted with the ways of the trainer. ”

Seeing Alex with a hesistant look, her husband Mathew joined to convince and said,”For taking care of her, we will reward you . I think you will definitely like it. I promise you she won't cause you much trouble. ”

”But I am already looking after Jim here, I don't think I can look after her as well. ” Alex tried to dissuade them.

But Mathew was adamant,he take care of her and stated,” What I fear for is her security. With you present, they won't be in any danger, as for the rest of the things children should be able to take care of themselves. ”

Alex was still hesistant and so his grandpa James joined them in convincing and said,”Alex, I think it will be good if you help them too. After all Jim will also have someone to compare with and grow stronger together. ”

Then he came close and said softly,” I also think with your talents some people may cause trouble for you later, with his support you will have much easier time dealing with them.”

Although he said softly, it was still heard by the Waterflower couple, while Daisy didn't feel anything wrong, but Mathew burst out laughing at the prospect of Alex needing his help.

With the support of Oak laboratory behind him, the forces which can cause trouble won't do so especially when he is showing off his potential, as for others they can be easily dealt by Alex.

” Is everything right?” Gray by his father's side asked not knowing why he was laughing.

Daphne herself was confused by this and looked at her husband for answer but he just shook his head.

” So, do you agree Alex?”Mathew asked the young genius earnestly.

Alex took a deep breath and agreed,. ” Fine. I will guide her for a couple of months. ”
