253 Chapter 40 (2/2)
So you can go to that ruin exploration with your friends.” As soon.as he explained it to her she jumped onto him and hugged him tightly around his neck.
” Thank you dad. I will take care of myself and not put myself in needless dangers.I will never wander around alone and I will...” She narrated all the things Cedric had told her to be careful about in the past.
Cedric places his hand over her head to calm her down. ” It's alright Aurea. I know you will take care of yourself. But...”
” But ? What, dad?” She tilts her head sideways asking him.
” But, this time you may encounter some powerful trainers from other regions. So you must be careful.” He warns his daughter.
” So are they really stronger? Even stronger than me?” She asks curiously.
”Let's just say no trainer of your generation can match these young trainers from the other regions.” He reveals it to her.
” So who are they?”
” I will not tell you who all of them are, but the only ones whom you might encounter out there in this expedition.
From Hoenn you might meet Steven Stone and Wallace. From johto you might meet Lance. From Sinnoh you will meet Cynthia, Flint and Lucian. And finally from Kanto you will meet Alex Bart.
These are some of the strongest of your generation, but Alex Bart he...” He stops himself thinking whether to say it to her or not. For the more she knew the more pressure she may feel from him and it may affect her adversely.
He looks at her face and thought to himself,' I really spoil her a lot. To think I don't even want to put even a little pressure on her, but since the world is going so fast she might at least know about him.'
” What about Alex, dad? ”She asked.
” Let's just say Alex is the strongest trainer of your generation and cannot be offended. Let's just say, while others are genius he is a monster. ” Cedric told her and didn't say anything.
Flashback ends
” You are Alex, Alex Bart aren't you?” Aurea asks him.
Her sudden questioning of his identity, made Elesa and Skyla curious what she is getting at.
Alex looks at her eyes and saw some recognition in them and inquired, ”Did professor Cedric tell you about me?”
Aurea seeing him not denying it, continued” Yes. He told me about you before I left Unova region. He told me you are a monster and also that you are strongest of our generation. Is it really the case?”
” I don't know ”
” You don't know.” The trip from Unova said together.
” I haven't challenged other powerful trainers from other regions to know how strong I really am compared to others. So I cannot answer the question.
But, I can tell you this. I am the strongest in this tournament.” Alex said with a smile and before they could ask him anything more and said,” Oh the match is getting excited now. ”
On the battlefield,
The entire battlefield is covered with cracks and craters from the attacks of the two Pokemon or from it's aftermath.
There is not a single grass or tree left in the field, for they are charred under the electric and fire attacks of the two.
Currently both of them are heaving in the center and are preserving their strength for the last attack.
” FLARE BLITZ”
” WILD CHARGE”
A lightning and fore body collides sends shockwaves throughout the room. Some people even fell down to the ground under the aftereffect.
A massive dust cloud surrounded the field obscuring the vision of everyone.
And everyone awaits in anticipation about who is the winner.
