Chapter 100 - Foggy Forest

After the call Alex quickly decided to pack his things and make preparation for this task.

He has heard much about the Foggy forest. It is a forest located north west of Kanto by the sea. It has dense fog covering the forest all year round so it is called the Foggy Forest.

It is also rumoured to have a powerful water type pokemons or a very powerful treasure is the cause of this fog.

In the fog one can't even see more than a few metre away from himself. Even the keen eyes of Pokemon can't penetrate the fog. The main reason for people believing that the fog is mysterious is because not even psychic pokemons can scan the area with their psychic.

Even a powerful psychic pokemon can only look about a hundred metres at most if he goes all out here when elsewhere he could even scan a few kilometers area.

He has packed warm clothes, flashlight, ropes even a staff which was given to him by Mew herself. This staff is made from the things in the tree of beginning and also help him as amplifier for his aura tricks.

So Alex mostly keep it on him. Many trainers have weapons on them to protect themselves from pokemon attacks.

One of the reasons that trainer clothes appeared in market as a separate category is because these clothes are specially made to absorb some damage from Pokemon attacks and protect the trainer.

League provides subsidy to trainers in their clothes fund while some elite trainers can model their own clothes so the cloth designer is a pretty high end job.

Alex himself got his clothes modified and specifically modelled for him in this break under his mother's demand.

She wanted him to get new clothes because in her words you can't always wear same clothes all the time.

Anyway his new attire was composed of deep red shirt with black edges and black pants. And other set was a black shirt with deep blue pants.

These were made from the silk made from web of ariados which are coated with fire resistant hell. These clothes can withstand some moves from Pokemons without getting destroyed.

Of course because they were individually created about five pairs of each set instead of stock demand, so they cost him millions.

Anyway after dressed up in red shirt and black trousers he came down to tell his parents about the task.

As soon as he came down his mother saw him all dressed up and without giving him a chance she thundered," No young man. You aren't leaving just like that. You said you will stay and rest some more. And I am not letting you leave after that episode of yours( him fainting for to overuse of aura)."

" Mom I am not leaving. Agatha gave me a job which is just nearby. I have to find someone and then it's all done. I can return by night or at most by tomorrow." He tried to console him.

" But you just came back and now you are leaving it just isn't fair ." And she started crying. Seeing this Alex's father Arthur came to console her.

Alex silently thought,' This pregnancy is really annoying.'

Yes pregnant. His mother now sport a baby bump in her stomach showing she is few months pregnant now. He will soon have a new sibling in the next few months.

Because of this Alex even considered leaving Happiny behind but thinking she is still in the rookie form she can't be if much help.

So he can let his father take care of her with grandpa looking after the kids. His father has also dropped his job in the power station too for taking care of Gwen.

" Dear don't worry . He is just going nearby and he won't have any problem. His pokemons are really smart and strong, they can take care of him." Arthur consoled her.

This calmed her a little but she still took Alex in a bear hug and then said," Ok but take care. Don't put yourself in too much trouble. And also learn to say no sometime so you can spend time with your family. Who knows after how long we can see each other again." And she once again started to sob.

According to his father, woman become very emotional in pregnancy times so he can only calm her down and after that he dashed out.

Outside the house Arcanine was present. Seeing Alex all ready, he looked at him curious. Alex told him," Arcanine, I just got a job now so can you take me back to the lake."

" arc…" he nodded and picked Alex by his shirt and threw Alex on him and dashed off.

He quickly got his grip on Arcanine and they reached the lake.

His pokemons were here. He decided to bring riolu( aura sense), Espeon( psychic scan) , Haunter( shadow espionage), piloswine ( strong power), Charmeleon ( warmth), Happiny ( for healing) , Pidgeot ( transport) and electabuzz ( good against water types).

He took ten Pokemons other two being Snorlax and onix.

They both can tank moves and can cover for Alex in case of escape.

After that he told his grandpa nearby to look after the rest and also he calmed down young ones like Pichu, Swablu and Ralts for leaving them behind.

He took the pokemon egg with him invade he chose to hatch. The egg has a Earth gem hooked on it which glowed slowly.

After flying for some times, he came across a first surrounded by dense fog. The fog was so dense you can barely see the outlines of the forest and how wide the forest really was. You can't even look at the opening in the forest for landing. He landed Pidgeot at the outskirts and then decided to head in on foot.

As soon as he landed he released three pokemons, Espeon, Haunter and riolu and returned Pidgeot since he can't be of much use here. Alex motioned haunter to hide in the shadow, while Espeon and riolu to follow him and guide him.

So the three now entered the forest and in the fog he and his pokemons soon disappeared.

Now Alex has entered the dense fog to find the Silph heir. How will the task go and what adventure he stumbles across ? Stay tuned
