Chapter 10 - The Mysterious Identity of Alex

After dialing he waited after then a voice came but no person was displayed on screen.

" Hello who is there" A grumpy voice rang

" Hello I am Alex. I was the one you gave the egg to"

" Oh you are that kid. So did the egg hatched."

" Yes it was a Charmander."

" Charmander. hmm. as I expected. So what do you call me for kid. Probably not for just this news."

" I am curious why did you send me this egg. Why me and not someone else. "

" Well kid I just saw someone I know in your spirit. Well kid just leave these behind so did you battle anyone."

" Well I just won a gym badge in Rock Town"

" Oh that fighting brat hmm. So did he use Mankey and Machop to fight how did the fight go?"

" What Machop ? He used a Hitmonchan, Mankey and Machoke to fight"

" WHAT ???"

Blaine on the other side thought,' What was he thinking. Using a team for Intermediate trainer to battle a rookie. Did he offend him or something. Wait did he say he won'

" Well kid you said you won. Could you tell me what Pokemon you used?"

Alex thought for sometime then agreed as he gave him Charmander. So he said,

" I used Pidgey against Hitmonchan , Charmander to Mankey and Haunter to Machoke"

" Pidgey lost to Hitmonchan then Charmander defeated it then took on Mankey and barely won and Haunter tied with Machoke"

" I see "

' Smart kid telling me just enough but not enough too. Hmm you keep getting interesting. Winning your first gym battle like this. I will await you kid'

" So kid what do you want to ask?"

"Can you tell me about the egg you gave me, who is it's parents and all that?"

'Maybe I should send him to him. It will be interesting to say the least. And at least the kid will get a backing and not be crushed by those pathetic families'

" Well kid as you won the gym battle I will give you a reward. Head to Pallet town. Your gift will be there along with the answers."

" Also you won't be wasting your time as there are at least four gyms in the route except the Viridian City I am sure you could handle others."

After some thoughts, he agreed.

Before switching off,he said " Well kid you won't regret it. I look forward to meeting you again."

After leaving the booth, he walked towards his room in the center while playing with Charmander's pokeball thinking,' Who was that man? And what is the secret you hold buddy? Well I will know it when I reach pallet town. So I should stop thinking about it.'

After reaching his room he took a bath and then got ready to sleep. But before he released all his pokemon. His Butterfree sat on his head, Pidgey on his shoulder, Charmander stood by him along with Haunter who levitate. " Well guys we won the first gym. Come here I will show you the gym badge. " All of them craned their neck to see the gym badge "after seven more we will be able to participate in the league. So let's work hard and I know everyone is tired so let's sleep together after all we will be heading towards Pewter next. And we will once again be heading for wildlife so be ready. As you all know we just barely won the match so we should gear up again and up our training so we would not suffer like this again. So are you ready."

All of them together roared.

"Freeee.... "

"Pidddgggg..."

"Chaarr r...."

"Hauunnteeer..."

Well then let's rest and be ready for tomorrow. Sweet dreams."

MEANWHILE

With Blaine

Blaine dialed a number," Hello "

" Hey you stubborn old fool, what happened? Is the egg I gave you ok?"

" Yeah it's about that egg"

" What Happened? Is it ok? if anything happens to it I won't be holding back Charizard for you"

"No nothing bad happened. And you keep that monstrous Charizard of yours in check. I just wanna say that I gave him to a trainer"

" Trainer hmm. tell me the name so I could find more about this trainer and achievement and see if he is worth raising it"

" Well for your information he is a rookie trainer who just got his starter a month ago and I was there. So probably there is no extra achievement except for his one ability."

" So you have given it to a rookie. You sure are as abrupt as ever. So what is this ability and just what make you give him that egg"

" Well just now the kid called me and I just confirmed that he just won an intermediate level gym challenge just after raising them for a month and that Charmander even beaten Mankey of his."

" WHAT ?? Are you high again Blaine. Are you dreaming? If this is so then we too have a new generation trainer in Kanto just like those of Johto hoenn sinnoh and kalos had "

" Shut up Samuel and I am just fine. I verified it from Marcus himself and he told me about the battle, that kid is quite talented too. "

" Had I not known he was just a rookie I too would have thought him to be an intermediate level Trainer"

" So what is the name of this kid. And why are you telling me all this"

" Well I was hoping you took the kid under you so that he could be protected from some unsavory people. " " Them why didn't you just do it yourself or when in the Rock Town . You know in this way he might get attacked."

" You and I both know we don't know we don't need a greenhouse trainer in the league we want a battle hardened one so if he can't survive even this long then I was wrong but if he reached you then I am correct about putting him under watch."

" Well it all well and good but you still haven't told me his name"

" Well I am also sending a gift for him if he reached you give it to him from me. And as for name it is Alex Bart, he is from Floral Town. "

" Alex huh .. wait what do you say ??"

" Alex Bart from Floral Town. Is there any problem"

" No..no. it's just that I knew someone with that name when I was younger. So I was just shocked."

"Well then don't worry if he reached here I will provide him my protection."

" Later Samuel"

And Blaine then thought,' I have done this for you kid. Let's see if you are eligible for our help'

Also At pallet town

The person whom Blaine called was the famous Pokemon Researcher, Professor Samuel Oak. He was going through a drawing copy and seeing many photos he drew in his youth. Among one of those was the photo of a trainer who guided him in his youth.

In the photo a person in his early twenties stood behind him were terrifying Gengar, fiery Charizard and shiny Pidgeot. Kneeling beside him were proud Espeon, A mystic Gardevoir and a powerful Electrivire.

" It seems we will meet again old friend. I really look forward to it. I am sure even Charizard will be happy to know how strong his son becomes" Samuel murmured." I hope you could reach here safe and sure I've rheough those Shadows. after all you said present create future. If you can't live through then this future wasn't yours."

If you want to know more about the future events and what the Shadow mentioned is please stay tuned.
