229 Chapter 18 Informing the parents (1/2)
It has been almost 3 o clock in the afternoon, when Alex had decided to contact the Waterflower family and Gordon family just after them. When dialing at the Waterflower, Alex wished to be greeted by Mathew. With him knowing the incident first, the situation will be within control and won't explode exponentially, but fate wasn't on Alex's side.
The image of his wife, Daphne appeared instead of Mathew and he knew that he was screwed. Even though, she was a former trainer, she was still a mother and no mother liked her children in danger even if said danger was only virtual.
Alex decided he should just bite the bullet and reveal everything to her as she would know it anyway. Of she thinks that he hid things about Daisy then even if it is for good reason, he would be the one to be cooked and grilled by her.
Just as Alex can see her image , Daphne too could see Alex. And her experienced eyes could see the worry and anxiety on Alex face. She was curious about it, but restrained her curiousity and greeted the young man in front with politeness,” Good afternoon, Alex. How are you doing? Are Daisy and Jim doing fine?”
”Good afternoon, Daisy. I am almost fine. But Daisy and Jim they are....” Alex trained and stopped. He was thinking whether to roam around or just go straight to the topic.
Alex stopping the sentence midway gave her an omnious feeling and she asked with a worried tone,” Alex, what Happened to Daisy? Where is she?” Where is my daughter?” She started to shout at him asking about her daughter.
Her shouts had attracted the attention of other occupants. The other occupants included the pokemon cultivator, Pokemon doctors and referee along with other staff necessary for proper functioning of a gym as big as the Cerulean gym.
They had arrived around her, but only Mathew who arrived last dared to approach her.
He arrived at her side, placed his hands on her shoulder and shook to ask,” What happened, dear? Why are you so anxious?” Then he turned to look at the guide he asked help for his daughter.
He looked at Alex and understood something happened which wasn't according to the plan alex convinced him of and things may have been something troublesome. His wife was still hysterical as her thoughts run wild, so he asked Alex,” Alex, did something happen?”
” Mathew, Daisy and Jim are currently in Pokemon center. They had a kidnapping attempt. Although I saved them they are currently put in forced sleep by the nurse joy.
The encounter may be a little too much for the two, so I hoped whether you can contact my family there, and bring them along with you to help them speed up the recovery. ” He quickly explained it to them.
Matter who knew the entire plan frowned a little, but Daphne who was completely unaware was shouting at Alex while crying,” how can you let this happen? We asked you to look after our daughter. How can you be so careless?”
She was shouting and crying about her daughter which Mathew tried to calm down. He looked from his wife and told Alex,” Where are you now, Alex? We will come there with a Gordon family as soon as possible. And you can explain everything I've we reach there.”
” I am in solar town now. I will wait for your arrival.”
And he turned off the phone so that he won't feel anymore guilty than he already did.
The crying of Daphne as well as pain at her daughter's injury reminded Alex to his past adventure of leading the pokemon riot. He had lead the troops yet so many lost.
But he soon recovered before becoming adversely affected and said with great determination,” I will become strong enough to deal with those situations without any single casualty. ”
After that, he once again laid on the bed looking up at the ceiling while thinking of the nightmare which he will be facing in the form of the mothers of Waterflower and Gordon family.
As he turned his head sideways, his eyes fell on the box he received from nurse joy. After getting the box and looking at the things inside, he had decided to create the plan he currently enacted.

Flashback ( evening he got the parcel)
Alex took the parcel and arrived at the room. His Pikachu took the key from his pocket and opened the door for him. Alex placed the box on the bed and then went into the washroom to clean himself and take a bath.
After half an hour, Alex came out with a new clothes and turned his attention to the parcel.
As soon as he decided to open it,Pikachu and Swablu started to open the box. While shredding it's cover into pieces. After opening them, he saw that it had more boxes in them, along with a note.
When the two were going to open these boxes, he asked them to stop and let him read the note first.
It stated:
” Alex,
