Chapter 323 - 3 First Encounter with Wallace and Steven (2/2)

But, what they don't know is both Wallace and Steven both belong to the same category of people. They both are battle maniacs.If Steven isn't busy greeting the others and acting polite, he would have already challenged Alex. He wished to face him and evaluate whether his strength were as accurate as the rumours.

He even cursed in his heart when Wallace challenged Alex before him. His first goal was Cynthia then Alex but his friend beat him to it.

Alex who is challenged just arched his brows and then agreed.

” Sure, so are we having a battle on land or that lake over there. ” Alex asked about the terrain on which they will battle.

His question made Wallace aware that he knows his specialty. But Alex wasn't worried about his strength and was willing to battle him anywhere.

” We will be fighting by the lake if you don't mind,” Wallace said with a gentleman smile on his face.

” Well then let's get going.” Alex immediately started to tread towards the lake. He has no idea why but he is miffed right now and needs something to thrash around.

With Wallace initiating a battle, he gets a free punching bag so he agreed for the battle quickly.

Wallace and others followed behind. The crowd of people who are gathered has some trainers among them who wished to see this battle. This group comprised of spies from Team Magma, Team Aqua, Hoenn League, and other organizations both legal and illegal.

When they arrived at the lakeside, Alex turned to his friends, ” Hey guys, can you release two flying Pokemon we can ride on?”

” Why?” Steven asked confused by this question.

Alex wanted to say something along the line that, 'Wallace is too weak for me to face him on land. I can vaporize him easily. In the water battle, he will have a greater chance to give me some challenge. '

But for the sake of politeness, he spoke, ”We will have the battle over the lake and we will fly on your pokemon. I don't wish to have all of you get involved in this battle. ” he the points towards the center of the lake and continued, ”There we have a better to release some restraint and go all out.

I am sure you wish to have an all-out battle with me don't you, Wallace?” Alex asked his challenger.

Wallace nods instead of replying. Although Alex doesn't say the harsh words about him doing this to give Wallace a better chance, everyone in Alex's group, Steven and Wallace knows the truth.

This fight location has nothing to do with an accidental injury of an audience or a chance to go all out, it is just that Wallace is too weak for Alex to take him seriously.

But, he didn't act rudely and spoke out how he felt for one important reason, Alex is the undisputed strongest, and yet neither he nor Wallace can beat the second and Wallace is on par with the fourth strongest of the list.

There is still some distance in strength between the two.

As for why they don't doubt the authenticity of the list, they have been warned by Drake, the Hoenn Champion, the List only showed the lowest threshold of Alex, not his strongest strength.

You are not his rivals yet so train harder. Steven has a pseudo king Pokemon, metagross. He knows just how strong they can be. This is his capital to challenge Cynthia.

Yet, Alex has at least two pseudo-King pokemon shows just how much stronger Alex is compared to himself.

For the sake neutrality, Julius and Lucian released their pokemons, Noctowl and Skarmory.

After issuing the instructions, the two flew Alex and Wallace towards the center of the lake.
