Pokemon - A Mystical Journey 253 Chapter 40

" Are you underestimating us!" Rosy asked seething in anger.

" Sorry. You may suffer because of her." Alex points to Elsa." I only joined this tournament to teach her a lesson, nothing else. It seems you will suffer too because of her, so I apologize." After that apology, all sense of humility in Alex left and he arrogantly states while looking at Elsa,"It is not that I am underestimating you, but you are overestimating yourself, by regarding yourself as my opponent.

She isn't even in my top five strongest Pokemon and she is enough to crush you completely. "

His words made Elsa almost burst a nerve bit before her retaliation, a message came from the loudspeaker,"Elsa Reid and Rosy arrive at the battlefield. The arrangements have been made. The final round may begin soon."

On hearing this, she just huffed loudly and walks away with her Blazikan who glared at Alex and Espeon before leaving.

Same is with Rosy and Luxray. If not for the interruption from the intercom, Alex may suffer feminine wrath.

After the duo left, only Alex, Julius and three girls from Unova were left in the waiting area.

Julius asks the Kanto trainer who is petting his pokemon," Did you have to egg her like this , just before the battle?" Alex didn't grace him with a reply and continue to entertain Espeon. Gengar currently hidden in his shadow chuckles at the events although he is quiet at it, his chuckles still irritated Espeon who sent a not so subtle warning to Gengar who quiet down and grumbled.

" You are really arrogant you know that." Elesa spoke to Alex for the first time.

" And all three of you are pretty and cute. " Alex looks at the three girls and finally said.

His sudden compliment has surprised them. They blushes at his compliment which is evident from their Rosy cheeks. They are still young and compliments like these can affect them more than it could in the future.

" You, what is this?" Skyla asked still embarrassed from his compliment.

" That is me stating a fact." Alex answers without any fluctuations.

" And how are the two things related?" Aurea asked although her blush subsides it is still evident in her cheeks.

" Both are facts. I can crush them alone with Espeon, just like it is a fact that you are pretty and cute now and will be very beautiful in the future " Alex answers without looking above at them as he looks over the little chat between Espeon and Gengar.

Lucius who saw their face once gain turning red signs to himself,and thought,' Her highness beauty doesn't loose to them now and she may be even more beautiful than them in the future, yet her past arrogant actions have angered him and he also never forget to target her.

This is just another way for him to humiliate her.' and he looks at Alex. Just like how Elsa has powers ( though it is not completely shown yet) , Julius too has powers.

His isn't anything agreesive yet it isn't any less important than Elsa according to the people who know about their ability.

Julius is a natural sensor. He can sense the power of people and pokemons around him. He normally cannot sense how strong they are. But if they used their powers he can estimate their power. When he met Alex earlier, Alex hid his powers through his aura but in the deck during the Pikachu incident, he felt Alex's powers.

He knew just how strong Alex is and he also saw the glare of a powerful Pokemon from his shadow. It is much stronger than any of the Pokemons his highness had.

With that strength, it is pretty easy for him to beat her if he ever wished and now seeing Espeon almost use her powers when Luxray is going to attack Alex let him aware of the strength of that psychic evolution of Eevee.

So he doesn't doubt Alex's words.

Back with Alex and the girls from Unova.

" You are funny." Elsa still feels he is joking and laughed at Alex's words.

Aurea and Skyla joined him in this, while Alex joined them.

But Aurea suddenly stops laughing as something clicked her. Her father mentioned about some trainers before allowing her to travel with her friends.

FLASHBACK

Aurea is sitting in her room with a middle aged blonde man in front who has a serious expression on his face.

" Dad, can I really go for the ruin exploration in Hoenn you told me about?" Aurea asked with some expectations.

The middle aged man is Cedric Juniper, the current primer professor in Unova and also her father.

He looks at her happy and excited face and his serious experession softens. " Yes. I agree to it. Alder explained it to me that I have to let you see the world by now. You are already fifteen and must have your own opinions instead of the ones I impose on you.

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.
