Pokemon: A Mystical Journey - Chapter 318

Alex is back in his room where Slowking is teaching Latios and Latias about how to use the psychic powers effectively.

His psychic powers are still out of control because of the event at the radar tower. Alex has given him a black sunglasses to cover his eyes.

This sunglass isn’t any normal one. It is made of quartz which can hold and store some psychic energy in itself.

As long as he doesn’t exert enough psychic energy through them, they will not be able to pass through it, even if his eyes are open.

This will also protect others from the any sort of accidental psychic shock.

These glasses are similar to the one cyclops wear in X-men Apocalypse.

After Alex, Cynthia and Elsa followed behind him.

They are having an intense discussion.

” Alex, are you sure you can handle it?” Cynthia asked worried about Alex. He has offended one of the strongest trainers in the Hoenn region.

He will suffer some difficulty because of this. He will have a very difficult situation ahead of him, especially when they will land on Hoenn next.

So they are worried about him.

Who will reject a good pressure which can make you progress faster, at least Alex won’t reject this sort of pressure.

But seeing the worried of his two friends, he reassured them, “Don’t worry. I am not wrong, and have followed the league’s directive. Even if they wish to cause me trouble, it must not be too excessive or they will suffer.

I know that you are worried about the Hoenn league taking action against me for disobeying their orders, but don’t worry about it. Nothing will happen to me.” He gave them a warm smile which calmed them down.

“Now head back and help them. I have offended them so they will not feel well in my presence.

Both of you are to make sure things are done perfectly. Can I trust you with this?” He asked them.

They knew Alex is appointing them as the head of this operation. Feeling touched by the trust that Alex have on them, they agreed to it immediately without much thoughts.

When they left he crashed on his chair to rest. At that moment, a voice stopped his resting time.

‘ So how are we going to deal with the upcoming situation, Alex?’ It was Slowking who talked with him.

Alex turns towards Slowking with a thoughtful look. He is using his psychic to float a piece of paper and shape them into various objects like origami.

The two look at the sunglasses wearing Slowking with awe and respect.

He then handed both of them a paper and gave them a task to complete. They have to float the paper around them in a circle at least once without any deformation on the paper itself.

If there is any deformation, even a single crease line on the paper then they have to remove the crease with psychic and start it again.

From time to time, he will give them some hints or guide them.

Even though he is busy training the two legendary pokemons, he can still communicate with Alex. All this shows how much control he has come over his psychic powers.

But his water power is a bit stunted. So there is still much room for progress.

‘ You still haven’t answered my question.’ He asked once again.

Since it is telepathic communication, Alex felt he should reply similarly to train in his psychic too. Although it might be a bit stressful.

‘It isn’t time for us to deal with them. We aren’t strong enough yet. The increase of strength after catching those pseudo king Pokemon made me reach only on par with some weaker gym leaders.

If we wish to withstand the League, I will need at least two Pseudo Emperor level pokemons, which is still too far from my reach. So don’t have those ridiculous notions about taking them on just because you have gained a little power up.’ He berated his wise pokemons harshly.

He was expect this type of behavior from Electabuzz who is a fighting madman but not from someone like slowking who is smart and calculating. He should remember and know about these things.

Slowking is shocked by the sudden harsh verbal thrashing from his trainer. It made him think about the matter he spoke about carefully.

After careful analysis, he understood he had spoken like an idiot. Every regional league is a monstrous existence for them, even someone like Almia region which had possessed no Champion level trainer seated on it’s peak, is beyond their reach, let alone Hoenn which can subdue Almia any time it wants.

It seems like Alex is correct. This little power up has really gone over his head and made him become a madman like his partner Electabuzz. He shudders at the very thought of that.

He apologized to his trainer, ‘I am sorry, Alex. I was too arrogant. Next time, I will think carefully before saying such arrogant words.’

Alex nods when he heard his Slowking apologise.

He has discovered where he has gone wrong and apologised, showing his mind is still flexible.

‘ Good, so what do you think we should do?’he asked his intelligent Pokemon.

Slowking is in deep thoughts thinking about how to tackle the coming problem. They are too weak to use brute force.

If they act excessively they will be targeted by the Hoenn League. Although they aren’t afraid of it, it isn’t wise to offend them on their own territory.

Then it clicked on him, ‘Are we waiting for them to act excessively?’

Alex smiled at his Pokemon reply. He is happy that his Slowking thinking isn’t too rigid. After all if it is then all his training will be for nothing.

One of the thing Alex has make sure is that all his pokemons have a flexible mind. He uses different games to implement this ability in baby pokemons, he later increase the difficulty to make them flexible. He put them in a tight situation and made them think of ways to walk out of it.

In his team, almost everyone has a flexible view of thinking. If one way doesn’t work, means there is still another way.

This is very strictly implemented when it comes to his psychic , for rigid views make someone predictable. It is very dangerous for the psychics.

‘ Indeed, we will be biding our time. We cannot start the assault independently and must wait until they are acting.

We can stand strong and deal with all the threats on our side. When all their plans towards us fail, at that time they will make a mistake. That mistake will be our chance to deal with them once and for all.’

Slowking still has some doubts but he refrained from asking when he saw that Alex has fallen asleep on the chair. His trainer is tired from all these ordeals.

A long night sleep will do him good.

Alex is woken up by Bill from his sleep. But Bill isn’t unharmed. He is sent flying through the room by Alex for his rough means of awakening a person.

Others have followed him. All of them ignored the unconscious form of Bill and Elsa told him, ” The speed boats are here. We can start transferring the passengers to them, and head for Hoenn on our own.”

Alex just nods and then asks, ” Where are we asked to meet with the rest?” This meant the six of them, and not the other passengers.

“We have to head for Littleroot Town. There is someone who will pick us up.” Cynthia replied.

” Then we might as well take get directions from ship crew members and head there. I am sure many people aren’t happy with me. I better don’t give them any many reasons to hate me.” Alex joked.

Although it is a joke, there is some truth in those words.

” Very well, after the passengers and ship crew are transported to the speed boats we will fly there.” Bill who has mysteriously recovered from the assault spoke out.

They all agreed with him on that.
