Chapter 45 - The Incident (Part 2)

Alex took his first step out of the town for the first time in his life. As he walked for some time, they were surrounded by trees on both sides of the path.

On those trees he saw Pidgey sitting AMD looking at him. On the base of the trees are Caterpie and Weedle wandering around. And Paras and Oddish were just passing by.

Seeing all these Pokemon face to face for the first time was awesome to Alex. He was very excited and delighted to them.

His grandpa Michael seeing him so excited was both happy and sad. He was happy to see him so excited. He was sad because he will soon be introduced to the reality of the world.

They walked into the forest and walked for some time and reached a clearing. Michael said," Alex we will be having our camp here. Now I will show you how to make your tent and other things. "

Here he was taught some of the basics if camping in the wild such as how to make your tent, how to cook food without attracting wild pokemons, how to protect yourself etc.

As he told all these things it was time already getting dark. Seeing it Alex was disappointed as he couldn't play now. One of the condition for his trip was he will not roam around at night or their trip will be over.

His grandpa has brought three Pokemons with him, Pikachu whom he often played with, A Taurus and his starter, Sandslash. They all were great pokemons to Alex as he once saw Taurus and Sandslash fight to show how pokemons fought.

His grandpa cooked the food, his pokemon collected the woods and Alex helped with little things. After eating they went to sleep. He let his pokemons out with Pikachu sleeping with Alex for added protection.

Next few days went happily for Alex. He was seeing many Pokemons in the wild though he couldn't approach them as whenever he went near they would either run or attack him.

Now Alex had a leg wound from a Rattata bite. It didn't bit on his leg but it was grazed. His grandpa's pokemons saved him. So now Alex was vigilant against the Pokemon.

It was 4th day of Alex's wild adventure. Today something interesting happened. When he was roaming around he came across a wounded Pidgey. It was a Shiny Pokemon.

After seeing him, he ran towards it took it and ran to his grandpa to heal it. After taking there, his grandpa used the medicine to help Alex then asked him," Alex, where did you find this Pidgey?"

"I found it nearby. " Alex said not taking his eyes off the pokemon.

This alerted his grandpa and he quickly asked Alex," Are you sure?"

This time he was shaken and his facial expressions terrified Alex and he replied," Yyyeah grandpa. What Happened?"

He ordered Alex," Quickly pack the bag and ready to go."

" Why and what about the Pidgey?"Alex asked.

Michael wanted to leave it behind but couldn't do so seeing Alex pitiful expression.

He told Alex," Alex the Pidgey is shiny. Do you know what it means." Not waiting for him he continued

," it will be stronger than average Pokemon. I saw some Pokemon similar to it while traveling and one thing was common about them. They all were attacked by their herd leader. "

This scared Alex and asked," So his own family attack him."

Now Pidgey was awake and stood on the bed and hearing the elder he drooped his head.

" They didn't want to suffer the retaliation by the pokemon in the future so they sent out some Pokemon to kill them . And as we are now we will only suffer. I can't protect you and Pidgey cat the same time. So you still want to save him?"

This made Pidgey turn to look at the boy who saved him. He was rescued by him and he brought disaster to his savior.

" Would they leave us if we leave him be?" Alex asked

" No. since we saved him we are their enemy so we should leave." Grandpa said and Pidgey nodded.

" Why don't we take him too then?" Alex said

" Are you sure. because of him we might suffer." His grandpa asked.

" If I can help why shouldn't I help?" he said.

Pidgey was happy and flew towards Alex and sat on his shoulder peaking softly at his cheek to show affection.

His grandpa was happy to see the goodness in Alex but was also scared if this could bring problem to Alex in the future then he thought of a plan.

He told Alex to pack quickly and Pidgey went with him. He then released his pokemon and told them the plan. They happily agreed as they saw Alex grow in front of them and little suffering to shape a m_a_t_u_r_e Alex was affordable to them.

After packing things they ran towards the Floral town. Pidgey now hid in Alex shirt . Alex asked his grandpa," Why they didn't ride Taurus?"

" Even if we ride it they may catch up to us, Alex. This way at least he may be healthy enough to fight them." He replied and Alex nodded.

After some time they heard the cawing of the birds. They turned around to see three Pidgeot along with dozens of Pidgeotto.

It seemed they found them earlier and they went back to bring the reinforcement.

This time Michael didn't run but released his Pikachu, Taurus and Sandslash.

Now they face the army of Pidgey family. How Alex survive their attack and what happened to Pidgey? Stay tuned.
