Pokemon: A Mystical Journey - Chapter 278

The person who is on top of Alex is the person who he met today, one of the prettiest and beautiful girl he met in his short life of 12 nearly 13 years, the trainer from Sinnoh region, Cynthia Shirone.

Alex is currently on the ground with his hands around Cynthia’s waist while Cynthia fell on Alex. Her left hand is on Alex c_h_e_s_t while another one, the right arm was around his neck.

Fortunately Alex fell on his back and slowed down the momentum of fall and no stress was on his neck or else Cynthia right arm may be injured or even dislocated from fall.

This also made the two have a little lovely scene to themselves. They look at each other’s eyes for the first time or to be exact looks at people of others gender for the first time in such close proximity.

The two lost themselves to each other’s unique eye and temperament.

They are both too young to divulge into some other things which this type of fall can lead to.

Elsa doesn’t know why doesn’t like Cynthia being at such close proximity to the Alex and rushed to pull them up and break them away from one another.

Elsa’s help managed to make them recover their senses and they stood up while blushing a little not willing to look at the other.

August was looking at this scene with amus_e_m_e_nt thinking about how they would have acted if they were older by two years. He thought,’ If they were older, then this will be a perfect moment for the love triangle. It would be amusing to see what Alex choice would be. Will it be Cynthia or Elsa or even both or maybe a third person.’

He shook his head to calm.his excitement abd said, ” Now that you are here, let’s head for the Togekiss nest. There Togekiss will test you and passed on that you will be checked whether you are eligible for the togepi or not.

They don’t give off eggs but Togepi. Raising a kid especially someone as like Togepi who can be influenced easily is tough so be prepared, the test will be difficult.

All your tests will be different from one another and you lot will be tested at the same time. Also, there is only one chance you work hard and be prepared. ”

He looks at the serious faces of the kids who are preparing themselves mentally for the upcoming test.

August felt he must guide them. He liked these kids and know if they pass the test the Togepi in the future will not lose to his togekiss in the near future.

He gave them a hint, ” It is a test of inner will and heart. So don’t use your mind for this one, follow your heart, or else you won’t have any chance of excelling in it.”

As soon as he finished giving them the advice a large shadow appeared overhead.

This pokemons is their ride to the Togekiss nest area in this vast Pocket space which is slightly bigger the the island they were currently in.

It is a silver-gray, avian Pokémon with a long, metallic blue neck, legs, and tail. It has yellow eyes, a pointed beak with several pointed teeth, and a triangular crest on its head

Alex looks up to see it was a skarmory.

” We will ride on him. If we directly teleport to Togekiss Nest, then it will offend some of them. And let me warn you if they are offended the consequences won’t be good. ” August warned them about not trying to offend the kind Pokemon in any way possible.

The group of four sat on Skarmory back without any further problem. The skarmory was big enough to have at least six people on his back without any problem if two sat together in a row.

Alex returned back Espeon, his Eevee(Mew) sat on his shoulder while Gengar his in the shadows once again, only August was aware of his presence.

No way was he going to give up his biggest protection shield. Who knows when things go south. Although August hasn’t shown him any signs which show he is up to something not so good, but he is still someone he met just yet.

There is no way he can put his safety in the hands of someone he have just met.

August liked the fact that Alex is still vigilant. Although he has been kind to the kids, he still hasn’t given them enough reason to let down their guard completely.

While he is happy about their strength, only Alex has what which impressed him enough to be delighted about.

Even now he hasn’t given up learning. While the girls enjoyed the beautiful scenery as well as Pokemon around him, his gaze was fixed on Skarmory body trying to learn as many secrets as it can hide.

He has some questions he wished to know about. August was curious in which direction his thoughts were so to spend time he asked, ” Do you lot have any questions about this place you can ask? As long as it is not related to the test or some thing you lot cannot be acquainted with just yet, you can ask me anything you want?”

” Does Skarmory wings really grow every year to replace their battered and bashed wings ?” Alex asked the flying elite.

This question made Skarmory turn around to look at the kid who asked this. No one has asked anything related to himself from August.

” Indeed they do grow every year. ” August said, and continued ” but this isn’t what you really wish to know is it?”

” No, I wish to know if this is related to their growth. I mean if a severely injured Skarmory shed his steel like feathers and grow will it inhibit it’s growth. Or are there any other problems that they face in situations like that?” Alex asked. His questions shocked not only August and Skarmory but also Elsa and Cynthia for they never thought things like the way Alex did.

August looked at Alex with an interested look and thought of something then sighed.

” They do affect his growth. The energy they have gained in an year time through their food or other things are stored in their body until the day of growing new wings come.

On that day not only their wings grow but some of the wounds they gain and aren’t completely healed are cured thoroughly.

While the rest is later used to increase their size, claw and body strength along with other things. Is this answer enough for you. ” August asked jokingly.

But Alex took it serious and replied back, ” For now it is enough. If other problems arise I will ask you later ”

August is shocked by his words for he thought this explanation will be advanced enough but it seems he once again underestimated Alex.

He has his weakness too which can be seen in a battle but his attraction towards unknown is one of the reason he wishes for strength.

The unknown is not only attractive to humans but it is often damgerous too. Yet people are willing to walk that path.

Through some words with Alex August understood something about Alex. Looking at the confused gaze of the girls he explained it to them,”There are people in the world who are attracted to the unknowns. These unknowns are very dangerous and even elite four can die trying to reveal it’s secret.

It seems young Alex is one of those adventurist. It may be why he never put the power a elite four hold to much consideration, after all even elite fours are afraid to venture into those places. ” August said.

” Then what are those places, August?” Elsa asked.

” This is something you don’t need to know now, when you are strong enough you will be told about the different places which are forbidden, sealed and are death zones.

But now focus on the test, we are almost there.” August shifted the topic and pointed at the place in front of them.
