Pokemon: A Mystical Journey - Chapter 308
Bill found the changes in Alex attitudes as soon as everyone started to accuse him. Elsa and Cynthia too have noticed it but only after their raging emotions calmed down. They didn’t notice it early on but did after Alex left all of them alone for hours.
It has been a few hours since Alex has disappeared after the punishment was enacted.
The two beautiful blonde girls Cynthia and Elsa are near the deck and looked at the pole where some are twisting and turning in pain.
The ten prime accused are hung to the pole in the deck for everyone to see as they bleed to death.
Some have already died and others are slowly dying. To make them painful, Alex has laced the rope which they are tired to with a mixture of salt and red chilli powder.
The combination of two along with their freshly bleeding and injured wounds are enough to kill them quickly. He have Mew prolong their suffering based on their last actions.
But, the involvement of Mew is just a secret. Others think they have strong vitality so they managed to last so long.
Many passengers who suffered under their clutches sat near the deck to watch these bastards suffer and calm their angry heart. With this action, Alex has won the heart of majority if people.
As for those who are friends or are rich and feel the world should now to them are waiting for the time when they will teach him his place.
Back to Cynthia and Elsa,
They leaned against the railing and looked at the far horizon while the storm rages. Their is light drizzle and wind blowing in contrast to the strong wind, cyclone and heavy rain outside.
But this isn’t the topic of their talk, the one who dominate their talks is Alex.
Elsa looks sad and said,” We shouldn’t have said all those things to Alex back then. ”
” We hurt him more than the injuries of this battle did. We are his friends we should have trusted him. Or else he won’t erect this storm to stop those people from coming. ” Elsa continued, feeling even more down than before.
Along with worrying about Alex, they also worried about the reinforcement who will be bring supplies and transportation to move the people from this broken and now useless ship.
None were injured but the food supplies have been completely ruined. They don’t have enough to even cook for one time.
So they are anxious. They won’t know what to do. They have many questions in their heart, how long is the storm going to last, how long can they last without food, how long can the injured survive without proper medicine, and many other things.
None of them have any experience in leading the people so they asked Bark for help but he has no way to do anything.
He suggested Alex may know what to do but he is nowhere to be found.
At that time, Blue’s alakazam came to inform them about the situation in which the reinforcements are and why they are late and not to worry about the situation.
Flashback,
Elsa, Cynthia, Captain Bark and Bill are the only ones present with alakazam. The others are off to make sure things are in proper order.
Even though all of them are young, their superior strength allowed the people older than them to at least listen what they want to say.
” So the reinforcement cannot come because of this storm?” Elsa asked worrying about their future prospects, “where the hell is Alex when we need him?”she then shouted in rage at not having him around.
His calm and collected behaviour gave them support to face any problem and his absence at time like this is something which greatly amplifies his importance.
‘ You don’t need to worry about him. He is fine. In fact this storm isn’t natural but artificially created.’ Alakazam informed them
” What? Who can create a storm now? Why? What would had gain from it?” Bark anxiously shouted out loud that someone would do it.
Bark has noticed that the storm is calm around them but the surrounding ocean is raging. Storm of this level isn’t something many vessels can endure. Only the most experienced sailors or exceptional navigators have the chance to survive this.
‘ He didn’t tell you?’ Alakazam asked in shock.
” What do you mean?” Bill asked not knowing where he is going to.
‘ Alex have his psychic pokemons erect this storm.’ he revealed it to them.
All of them showed various levels of shock at this discovery. To think someone can do something like this is too shocking.
” But why?” Elsa asked confused why he had do that.
Alakazam looks at them, thinking why he didn’t inform him or why his trainer Blue asked him to inform these people instead of Alex himself.
After some thoughts with his supercomputer like mind and their emotions and facial expressions he figured out things aren’t as peaceful as they were earlier.
His trainer has kept watch on them even when he isn’t around to keep a lookout. So he is here to speed things up and make them patch their relationship before it get sour beyond redemption.
‘ He erected this storm to stop the people of the reinforcement to come here early ‘
Elsa and Cynthia are once again furious at him for putting the life of the passengers on the line. This time more so because he did it without consulting with them. Cynthia asked politely but one can see she is angry,”But why would he do that?”
‘ Because in that reinforcement and relief squad there are people who will try to save them. He created it is they will not arrive before their punishment is dealt with. ‘ he explained it to them calmly while not directly pointing out the rift created in their relation.
They understood why he did it when they heard the reason. They cannot let them escape but they cannot stop them all especially when there are people who can be involved in it and the fact their pokemons still aren’t at hundred percent.
” But why don’t he inform us back then?” Elsa asked feeling down that he didn’t ask her.
It isn’t Alakazam but Bill who said it. He said scathingly and added a glare to it,” Last time he asked your opinion all you did was accuse him, say he is heartless and curse him. Why should he do it again when you will only try to imprecate him?
I think he was right not to ask us. He can make his decision better when we aren’t around to drag him around emotionally with our sharp words.”
” But…” Cynthia asked
” But, what?” Bill shot at them, ” You weren’t pulling your punches back then. He was down and you took all the joy in putting him down even further. ”
Cynthia and Elsa were down after hearing this. Although what Bill said is cruel but he is saying the truth.
They both are sad hearing and reminded how they treated their friend. Alakazam saw all this and smiled.
He understood what his trainer wished to do by doing this. This kind of thing must be dealt as soon as possible or the things get difficult the longer it is dragged.
Although Elsa and Cynthia were emotional earlier they controlled themselves from self guilt and decided to tackle the problem with Alex head on, ” can you tell us where he is?”
‘Since it is your problem, find him yourself.’after that Alakazam reported away.
Flashback back ends
It leads to their current situation. The two girls were on a mission to find their friend who have decided to hide from them.
After trying to find Alex they are now back at the deck thinking where he might be.
