Chapter 96 - Meeting an old friend

Alex was standing by the side. He decided to let Slowking face the two parents on his own. These two were about early elite level not Slowking's opponent who was at peak elite but together may provide decent challenge to Slowking.

Raichu and altaria stood together and ready to face Slowking who lazily stood there but if one would pay attention, he was acc_u_mulating his psychic powers to face them.

Alex seeing both were ready said," Start"

As soon as he said that Raichu sent a thundershock at Slowking what channel was deflected by psychic towards altaria. She used cotton guard to protect herself.

Meanwhile Slowking sent water pulse towards altaria Who was smashed to the ground. Not giving her a chance he then put her in water prison from the water of water pulse.

This stopped her. The reason that Slowking target her was Alex psychically telling him. Raichu and altaria are both strong but Raichu has speed and type advantage yet what made altaria stronger was her endurance, her dragon type as well as her physical strength.

Slowking although strong has weak defense as well as slow speed. So while he could deflect electric attacks altaria close attacks like dragon rush, brave bird or giga impact if she knew would make it difficult for him.

If Raichu knows volt tackle he would still be in trouble but this move can only be learned at Pichu stage which made the Pichu attractive for Alex.

Slowking then started to use the water prison as shield for electric moves which was advantageous for Slowking. This helped hurt and weaken altaria but also tired out Raichu.

Seeing range attack not working and to help his partner Raichu dashed in white towards Slowking and slammed with his long tail.

Seeing Raichu almost going down she used hyper voice which made Slowking lose control over water prison releasing her.

Altaria then used dragon rush and threw back Slowking in the air and headed for Raichu and gave him a pecha berry. Although it didn't cure him completely but it still managed to make him moving again.

This time the two parents were very serious and ready to go for round 2 while Slowking himself was angry at himself for letting her escape. This time he won't let them off easily.

But a voice shouted," stop"

This turned their attention towards Alex who now shouted. " This is just a battle to confirm whether they be allowed to travel with me. It is not a life and death battle. Slowking bring them down."

Slowking stared at Alex then shards of rocks started to fall down on the ground which were hidden among the trees. This shocked the two others

" also you two were going too serious too. Raichu is poisoned badly if not healed soon it will affect his actions and activities later.

And because of this he might die if he wasn't able to function properly. " Alex said

Hearing this both were saddened as they knew what he said was right.

" Come here. I will help you."

Raichu head for him while Alex used the antidote to neutralized the poison in the body while giving him a few pecha berries which will help subdue the remnants.

Then he asked them," Am I eligible to raise them?"the two kids were amazed by the battle in front of them and wanted to grow just as strong so they were willing to go with Alex but that is if their parents allowed it.

After all they are still young and they would instinctively follow their parents. The two parents then motioned Alex to wait for some time so they could talk to their mates and discuss and they dashed off to their nests.

The two weren't afraid of Alex leaving while they left because this Slowking almost took them down on their own and he still has a Pidgeot on him too. So he doesn't need to trick them.

Seeing this Alex felt he should have wait here and also cook food for his pokemons.

It was already past afternoon and he didn't feed them lunch because if the poachers fiasco. So now would be good.

He released all the pokemons he had with him along with the recently caught pokemons like Snorlax, the dugtrio and Diglett also the new Pokemon which happens to be a combee from Sinnoh region.

Although rare in Kanto but can be easily found in Sinnoh yet her honey skills will be useful for him too. Also her being a female made him lucky. The proportions of make to female ratio in combee was very low.

The female can also evolve into a powerful vespiqueen which is also a very powerful pokemon. So he was happy with her. As he need is get some more combee and let this evolved into vespiqueen and he will have continued supply of honey at his disposal.

Snorlax let them do as they want and just laid on the ground. Espeon came towards Alex and nudged him.

Seeing the three pokemons recover slightly made Alex happy. He rubbed her head and said," Girl, can you look after them while I prepare food for them especially those Pichu and Swablu. They are newborns and will cause trouble.

You don't want them to be as naughty as Haunter or nidoran do you?"

Hearing this Haunter grunted in disagreement but Espeon was vigilant about not letting them be like that.

He then went off to cook food after Haunter returned with logs.

While he was cooking Espeon called him and when he looked towards them he saw a familiar pink pokemon jumping on Snorlax stomach.

It was Mew.

It seemed they once again encountered mew. And she already enjoying herself. How will the next adventure go for Alex? Stay tuned
