Chapter 73 - Father and son

Alex said," Flamethrower"

Charmeleon sent out mighty flames on Charizard yet he stood as a stone in the middle of water waves.

He roared at Charmeleon ,' Show me your strength boy. Is this fire or an ice attack.'

Even though he said that the rock around turned scorching red.

"Charmeleon fireball"

He acc_u_mulated a lot of fire in front of it's mouth and then sent the ball towards Charizard

It exploded on him and some rocks even melted.

Daisy hid behind Blue saying," Did it is too hot?"

"Don't worry and he released his Blastoise. It

automatically cooled down the temperature around."

Charizard still roared ,' You don't even know what true fire is. Let me show you.'

He than sent a small stream of fire. Although it seems nothing compared to earlier attacks of Charmeleon, on impact he cried out in pain.

Even a fire type like him was suffering from burns.

Alex said," It seems fire wont work then let's show your muscles."

" Dragon dance"

He took 5 second to complete the dance and swiftly reached Charizard. Though it's speed was nothing compared to electabuzz or even Pidgeot, he was fast for his age.

He attacked with thunder punch and brick break.

Each attack was strong enough to break boulders and with continued use of dragon dance it's powers too increased.

Even then he didn't move an inch and then slashed at Charmeleon and sent him flying and roared ,' This is strength. Don't show off such puny power and insult me '

"Dragonic flame"

Charmeleon combined dragon power with flamethrower and attacked his father

This time the flame quantity was less but it managed to erect steam from it's scales.

" Dragonic flame?"

" The dragon power multiplies the power of flame attack"Alex simply said

"Charmeleon show him your strongest dragon rush"

This time he was surrounded by dragonic power and tackled head first towards Charizard but unlike before Charizard didn't stand still but swept his tail.

The tail power was impressive and sent him back sailing the air and Charmeleon fainted.

Charizard after the battle flew away from the lab.

Blue said," Alex has lost all six pokemons. Winner is Charizard" and thought,' He is still as moody as ever. He didn't even wait for me to end the battle.'

Samuel headed for Alex and said," Impressive battle Alex. I didn't think you will battle till the end."

"I too did not think I could last if not for Espeon "

"She was quite brilliant. Especially in a situation like that. I have never seen an Espeon like that in my life." Blue joined them and said

" You don't know but I remember meeting an Espeon. She was quite a discplinarian. No one dare to ignore her.

Even my Charizard is still afraid of her. Hahahaha " He said and laughed.

" If you don't mind can we treat my Pokemon." Alex requested.

"Ah I forgot. You talk with Dad. I will treat them."Blue said

Taking them Blue left and Daisy just looked at him.

Feeling her gaze, Alex asked her politely," Is there anything I can help you with?"

" Can you teach me how to battle?" She asked him.

" Why do you need my help with this? Your father and grandfather are much better than me. Why don't you ask them?" Alex said

" They just let me study and won't help me saying I am too young." Daisy m_o_a_n_e_d

" I understand. Did you know when I was your age I would spend hours in my town's library learning more about different types of Pokemon, their appetite , behaviour and all.

Pokemons are mysterious being. They held great powers as well as great friend. They can help you surmount any problem if you have their help. So always remember no matter what pokemons it is never treat it with contempt." He tried to educate her.

" But Caterpie and Weedle are weak and even magicarp is worthless. It can't even fight " Daisy said harshly for age not understanding what Alex meant.

Meanwhile Samuel smiled understanding what Alex was saying. He remembered what Alex told him that day in his past.

" Do you know about bug types?" Alex asked her

" They evolve quickly and they have a short juvenile period. They are easiest to evolve and their powers grow quickly and then it stagnates.

They don't play much important role and in high level battle. That's why there is no Elite four for bug type."Daisy said proudly.

She was very smart for her age and was mile ahead of her counterpart due to her grandfather teaching her. She knew a lot about different kinds

" Did you know what my grandpa used to tell me ?" Alex asked mysteriously

" How could I know what your grandpa say about you? Idiot." She then turns her head and pouted

Alex petted her head and said," I could become the first bug type elite four if my theory on them is proven correct.

Most Bug types are indeed weak physically but if trained well they can be quiet powerful.

Let's take Caterpie for example. I believe that the more energy he gain and stores the more powerful and strong he will be on evolution.

So I trained mine hard and gave it nutritional food and she ate a lot before evolution.

On evolution, I didn't train metapod at all. In this stage she is using her stored energy to transform and strength the body. If he spent energy on other things the body is left weakened.

And on evolution the moves they learn are mostly powder moves and psychic but have you thought these moves are truly devastating.

They can poison, paralysed or sleep the pokemons as well as different concentration of these have different effect.

It can make them drowsy, hallucinate, etc.

The psychic makes his powers widespread and it's mental capacity is updated.

It's string shot can be infused with powders to increase the lethality.

Then there is quiver dance exclusive for bugs which increase their power stats and speed

As long as move didn't connect they are safe.

Then the Beedrill has poisonous stringers which are deadlier.

While both are equally strong if trained well, Butterfree is mystery attacker while Beedrill is killer

They can sink big sh_i_p_s, summon storm and are extremely powerful.

Always remember Daisy, all pokemons are powerful it is depended on the trainer to train them and reveal their true potential to the world." Alex said

Daisy was still sceptical about Alex words and asked her grandfather ," What he said, is it true?"

" Yes Daisy what he said is the truth. It depends on trainers to help their pokemons reveal their true potential." He empasised.

"Then I will work hard and train all my Pokemon the best I could " She said seriously

"Let's head inside and continue our talk." Samuel said

Alex lost the battle terribly against Charizard. How this battle affect Alex stay tuned.
