Pokemon: A Mystical Journey - Chapter 279

In front of the group is the large lake that they saw from top of the cliff. This seems to be a part of Togekiss territory.

Unlike other pokemons territory where Pokemon of different species aren’t allowed to enter, when they landed at the shore they saw at least twenty different kinds of Pokemon playing with the Togepi.

It is not surprising that the Togepi with their nature can bond with so many pokemons. And it appears that even after evolution their nature doesn’t change much and they are still able to be with other pokemons.

When they arrived over their playing space on Skarmory the attention of baby pokemons playing there, turned their attention towards the incoming guests.

” It seems that the pokemons here aren’t afraid of humans, but are curious about us.” Cynthia said when a taillow flew over and settled on her shoulders while looking at her curiously.

Different Pokemons who can fly started to hover around them while Skarmory was finding a place to land.

August meanwhile explained it to them,” The pocket space is a prohibited area so not many can appear here. The ones who enter are the ones I personally bring here. So they are not familiar to humans and haven’t suffered from them so they are pretty bold around them.

And as pokemon trainers you may raise a Pokemon from egg so be prepared. It is a very tiresome job. They are very curious, bold and don’t seem to listen when needed.

You will be raising kids for a few months but will be reminded of just how much problems you caused to your parents when they raised you up. ” August said jokingly although it has a hint of truth in it.

” The young Pokemons can’t be that bad, can they be?” Elsa asked Cynthia and Alex.

In reply to her question, Cynthia shrugs her shoulder and shook her head showing she have no idea about this topic, meanwhile Alex shudders at the very thought of it.

August saw his reaction and knew where this reaction came from. He said merrily, ” It seems Alex may have some experience in it.”

” Just how bad can it be?” Cynthia asked worried and thought Alex’s reaction may be a bit of an exaggeration.

Alex seem to be offended by her words and said heatedly, ” I will tell you I have raised a number of pokemons from the egg.

You don’t know how tiresome raising them can be. They don’t wish to be inside a pokeball and are afraid of it. You have to keep them outside, carry them around, protect them, feed them, stop them from rubbing around and not harm themselves while playing.

You think it is easy. They are a bundle of infinite energy. They don’t sleep until late night and wake up early. They then wake you up, cry around, disturb your sleep.

There is no sense of calm and a healthy sleep for at least three months of their birth.

My Charmeleon is someone I raised from the egg, I have raised twin Ralts, a larvitar and a riolu. I have another one on his way.

At least Charmeleon and riolu only disturbed me for a few days but I shudder to think what this one will be. If they are like another Ralts or larvitar then I am doomed for another three to six months. ” Alex said with a gloomy look and his shoulders fell while Eevee on his l_a_p giggled at Alex’s plight.

The baby Pokemon around Alex seem to find Alex’s reaction funny and we’re laughing at him.

But both Cynthia and Elsa who seem to admire Alex’s skill and courage seeing him like this so afraid and even downtrodden, made them afraid and they turned to August with hopeful look wishing he say that it is just an exaggeration but their wish didn’t come true.

” It seems you know the trouble a kid can cause and to think you raise so many of them at such a young age. It seems like this is what made you so m_a_t_u_r_e at your current age.” August said to Alex.

Then turning to the girls he explained, ” Although it is troublesome raising them, the result is rewarding. You have raised a Pokemon who is stronger than average due to good nutritions at young age along with the bond.

The Pokemon is with you all day and this way you influence them enough. They are more loyal to you than even your starter and if they can be used well, then through then the Pokemon in the team can bond with one another well. ” August told them the merits of raising a pokemon from his egg form.

Skarmory has landed when the baby Pokemon flew around making way for their landing.

The group of humans landed on the ground, and then follows August.

“Let’s get going, Togekiss is waiting for us.”

August led the way and the others followed behind him to the destination.

Their destination isn’t a tree or something similar like they formally expected but a little elevated terrain over which seven Togekiss sat.

Only Togepi can be found around the sleeping or resting Togekiss who either tried to climb the Togekiss or seem to play hide and seek around them.

When August with the three kids came towards them, the Togekiss in the middle seem to open his eyes and look at the arriving people.

The other Togekiss and togetic seem to follow the gaze of their leader and looks at the arriving Pokemon.

Alex noticed that the Togekiss in the center seem to look at Eevee for a few seconds more than he did with Gengar in his shadow. His eyes even widened for a fraction of second which is something both Alex and August noticed but didn’t say or point it out.

When they arrived closer, the togetic and Togepi parted ways for them to head for their leader.

But, it didn’t mean the Togepi and togetic aren’t curious about them. They seem to look at them curious although some Togepi want to walk forward to the arriving humans togetic pulls them back.

Cynthia and Elsa were gushing over the cute Togepi around them and if not for they are here to test, and August had warned them earlier not to act impolite in front of Togekiss, then they might have picked them and hugged them.

Alex on the other hand has his eyes set on a Togepi at the side of the chief of Togekiss, who unlike the rest of Togepi who has a happy and curious look seem to possess a haughty, proud and disdainful look on his face.

Just like Alex is looking at him, the Togepi too look at his observer for some time before averting his head away from him when their eyes met each other.

When they reach in front of the Togekiss group, August walked in front and said, ” I brought the new group of examinee. They are qualified for your test so you can go wild against them.”
