Pokemon: A Mystical Journey - Chapter 311
Alex and Mew doesn’t even consider the views and opinions of the two young Latios and Latias, for they decide their future themselves.
The rewards are very rich and the usage is something which can save a lot of time for Alex.
Now, Alex is get to get two things which can help his pokemons greatly. Alex has no doubt whether he can reach that level or not, the question is how long it will take.
Let’s take dratini for example. A dratini evolves into dragonair when it’s body has enough dragon or life energy which is confirmed by it’s length.
It needs to be about 2 metre long before evolving, and at North it is only half a metre long. It takes a dratini nearly six months to grow by 10 cm, to reach 2 metre it will take around three to five years depending on their appetite.
Some herbs and other power enhancers like dragon gems can increase its growth speed.
Similarly, to be a dragonite it needs to reach five metre length, but it’s growth is slowed drastically now.
It needs a year to grow by 10 cm, to reach 5 metre it will take it around a few decades.
This shows the importance of various herbs, berries and the props made by the dead pokemons which shorten the time.
Another example would be horsea which Alex has.
Mathew gave him a dragon scale for Horsea. Normally it will take if around five to ten years to become a kingdra even with Alex resources.
Mew in her Eevee form then teleport away startling the two Eon Pokemon and returns with a yellow glowing light ball.
Pikachu who isn’t aware of the secret trade between Mew and Alex is attracted by the light ball. He took measured steps towards the ball, fearing it might disappear.
Just as he is about to scope it, Alex picked the ball. Pikachu snarled at alex and almost sent a thunderbolt at him. Alex gave a look that made him stop from jumping and getting the ball.
This also decreased the allure the ball has on pikachu and he looks at Alex curiously. The other pokemons who noticed Pikachu actions were curious what night have caused all this.
He started to explain, ” This is a light ball for you which can increase your powers greatly, ” Pikachu is happy for it and extends his short hands to get it, but Alex isn’t finished and he continued, ” you will only get it after you become peak advanced level. You are only at the middle level.
It will affect your future achievements. Now is the time for your foundation.” Hearing this, pikachu is feeling down.
Alex knows Pikachu looks up to the cool and proud electabuzz so he used him to deal with his current mood.
” If you wish to become as strong as electabuzz, you cannot slack down.” This did the trick and he overcome the temptation. He returns to his friends and started to play with them there.
Mew saw all this and smiled. This is a test she thought for Alex. She wished to see how he will react in the face of great temptation. He managed to endure it, meaning he has a firm mind and strong will.
This not only meant he has a form will but also that he hasn’t slacked down in his aura trainings. She has used her psychic powers to increase the sense of greed and d_e_s_i_r_e in Alex’s mind. She did all this without leaving behind even a single sign.
After their trade is completed, Alex and Mew turned to the ones who are directly associated with this deal.
‘ Latios Latias from now on both of you will follow Alex. Don’t worry about the things here, I will handle things here.’ Mew told them.
Latias is ready to accept but the grumpy Latios will not. They didn’t try to ignore her words. Their father always told them that Mew will always be there to help you if needed.
He also told them to listen to her words for she always think about them and won’t make them suffer.
Yet He still tried to say, ‘ but, we have to protect Altomare. Dad left it to us to protect this place and prevent those two from waking up.
He wants us to prevent that machine to ever come to use. ‘ he tries to persuade Mew against it, but she isn’t willing to hear anything about it.
Instead she scolded him, ‘You all should work on training and not on things a_d_u_l_t needs to worry about. You both are still kids.
You should enjoy your time instead of worrying about a_d_u_l_t stuff.’
Latios still tried to persuade her once more and said,’ But father dies to protect it. We cannot just give up on it.’ Latios still isn’t willing to let things go.
If they were a bit older she may have agreed but they are too young. She ruthlessly crushed their dream of protecting Altomare on their parents behalf, ‘Even if you wish to do it, you cannot do it. Your father died because he used too much energy on countering the tsunami. He didn’t have the energy to deal with the two ancient pokemons, Aerodactyl and kabutops.
Then the recurring tsunami wave after the change in the city base happened and that seal broke. He used a lot of energy as well as the repair the seal. This has resulted in his death.
You both are too weak. You cannot protect this place. If not for your father’s sacrifice, you won’t be here. Some other pair of Latios and Latias would take your place as it’s guardian.’
The two are down when they heard it. They are pitiful now but Mew isn’t willing to back down. She will tell them what they need to do if they wish to continue acting as a guardian.
‘ It’s your father’s sacrifice which made the others agree to let both of your replace him as the guardian.
Now, I am giving you a chance to grow strong and replace him as a skilled guardian. Are you willing or not?’
They both thought and discussed towards and finally agreed.
Mew grinned at that and points towards Alex, ‘ He will be your future trainer and tutor. You both will follow him for a few years before returning back.’
The two on Pokemon are shocked by this revelation.
