Chapter 324 - 4 Wallace vs Alex (Part 1) (1/2)
While Alex and Wallace flew towards the lake, the audience is already starting to talk among themselves and have started to give their expert opinions about this match.
A young kid who is about to start his journey proudly stated, ” That idiot, he doesn't know he has handed over victory to Wallace. He is one of the best Water-type trainers in Hoenn. How can he lose to an idiot who challenges a Water Pokemon master in a terrain which suits them most? ”
His friend also has a similar opinion regarding this, ” Indeed. Since Wallace himself challenged him meant, he has some strength as a trainer. If it was on land, the battle might be interesting. The land can stop Wallace from revealing his full power.
But here in a lake, that guy has no chance of winning even a single round. If it is a none changing round, he may secure a couple of wins in a complete 6 on 6 battle. ” he expressed his opinion.
Others around him sense some truth in these words and agreed with him.
At least 60 percent of the people are completely sure that the victory is in Wallace grasp.
But, for the rest, they are either aware of Alex strength or they have a feeling that Alex wasn't as simple as he appeared.
” So this is one of the brats that Commander warned us about. He doesn't seem that strong? Hell, he is even foolish to challenge a water type master in his home base.” A spy from Team Aqua ridiculed him. He only said this softly but from the nods, his companion too believed this.
” Don't be so confident. Commander warned us about him and explicitly stated that except for the executives if anyone else sees him he is to run. Do you think he will issue such commands if that brat is just some no name loser? We are the Team Aqua, water is our strength. What reason do we have to run if someone is weak on water?” Their leader warned them. He scolded them for underestimating a possible future threat.
His words made them shut up. Although they still feel that the other guy was no one special at the very least they kept their opinion to themselves. Similar cases are seen around with the leaders scolding their men for their partial comments and lack of professionalism based on their occupation.
These people have doubts regarding the battle outcome. They just kept their views to themselves and decided not to comment.
With Alex's friends
Cynthia has Eevee in her hands and she was subconsciously rubbing Eevee at her favorite spots even though she has no idea where they lie in this one. Mew is actually sending her some ideas and indirect instructions about her possible spots and enjoy the service of the Sinnoh Battle Princess.
”You don't seem too happy, Steven” Bill asked his frowning friend. He seems a bit angry about something.
His words made their group turn towards him and notice his expression.
Elsa joked, ”Are you angry that Wallace has challenged Alex faster than you. ”
Steven sheepish smile and rubbing the nape of his neck confirmed it is a reason for his current mood.
Bill wrapped his arms around his neck and pulled him down to his stomach and stated, ”Don't worry. We are going to travel together, so you will have ample time to fight Alex. Use this time, to see his strength with your own eyes and make tactics which can help you gain an upper hand later.”
He then has a pitiful look on his face and continued, ”Although you have no chance of winning. At least, you may make things tougher for him.”
