232 Chapter 21 Meeting the Gary (1/2)

Alex was currently flying towards the Oak laboratory on his newly evolved pidgeot. He could have teleported directly but decided against it as he needed some fresh air away from everything.

He was joined by the trio of Swablu still on his head, unaffected by air current, Pikachu who gripped his shoulder hard so as not to fly away and Dratini who had coiled itself around his neck.

Alex was thinking about what transpired this morning which led to his decision of going to the Pallet town.

Flashback ( in the morning)

Location: the Pokemon center, Solar Town

Alex woke up early and arrived at the restroom of Jim and Daisy to see how their condition were.

The parents of the duo were already there and from the voices he heard from inside the room, it seemed like they have woken up too.

The door was opened so he entered inside without hesitation.

Daisy and Jim saw Alex and asked,.” Alex, is Haunter alright?”

” Haunter? What is this about Haunter?”Jenny asked confused.

Then Daisy narrated what happened, ” when we took our first task, we left to do the task with each other. Alex told that he won't follow.

On the way, we were attacked by two people. We fought and would have been completely crushed had it not for Haunter coming out to help.

He managed to subdue them but a Gengar and another ghost Pokemon came, and attacked. Haunter was able to fight them together. When they targeted my marill, haunter took the hit.He fainted afterwards.”

The adults nodded understanding what they felt.

” Where did Haunter come out from?” Gray asked

” I asked the Haunter to hide in their shadow and appear only when they encounter problems they cannot take on.” Alex clarified.

” So what are your plans now, Alex?” Mathew asked.

” How long are you going to stay with them?” Alex replied with a question of his own.

Mathew turned towards Gray who nodded at him regarding something,” After this experience, both I and Gray came to the decision that the kids will return to Cerulean city and only after they are strong to a certain degree will we allow the kids to continue their journey. ”

The kids tried to protest but Mathew ignored them and asked,” So you have any problem with that, Alex?”

” Mnn..” Alex was thinking about something else but fortunately his pokemons did pay attention who repeated the question to him and he replied back,” I think it is a good decision. The shadows are trying to set up a stronghold in Kanto but they are repulsed but they target young trainers to increase their ranks.

This situation is too dangerous for them to roam around, especially with their current strength. They even use advanced trainers to lead the kidnapping members in such a small town so you can understand just how dangerous things are now. ”

Although it seemed like he was worried about their security and felt he cannot protect them properly in the future too, but there are some things Alex felt he had to do.

But the kids presence stopped his plans. But if they leave, he could continue to train himself seriously without worrying about anyones safety.

Learning that there might be future attempt to kidnap her daughter and her life may be in constant jeopardy, Daphne said without any hesistation with full determination to stay true to her words,” I also agree. Daisy you will be heading back home right now this instant. Your pokemons can be sent back through the transponder to Cerulean city pokemon center. ”

”But mom...” Daisy tried to protest but her mother's glare revealed she won't be hearing anything.

While Daisy gave up the protest, Jim wasn't willing to back down easily and even dragged Alex to the discussion.

” We... Umm... We cannot protect yourself well but Alex can protect us, can't he?” Jim tried to reason with them.

But even Alex stood on the opposite side said,” A certain member of the shadows seem to like me a lot. Andthat person is pretty persistant, so I am targeted now. If you are welcome the me, not only I but you will be in danger. So until the shadows leave Kanto or your parents agree you are strong enough, don't travel around just yet. ”

His words worked as dossing the flames of adventure in the kids worth water. After Alex joined the side of the parents, the only hope of the two aspiring trainers went down the drain.
