Alex and his pokemons have entered the forest and similar to what he thought they can barely see any think in front of himself. The foggy forest is close to johto region so many pokemons commonly found in johto.
And from his research hoothoot, dunsparce, stantler are some johto Pokemons occasionally seen here.
Also Zubat and Golbat can also be found here along with Gastly and ekans. The sunlight rarely falls here so this is a Haven for Pokemons whose senses are not based on eyes.
Anyway, Alex has been walking around for some time and yet he hasn't heard a single sound or seen even a Zubat or even Caterpie.
This sent his danger senses Rolling because he could feel he is seen by somebody around here. Whether it is a person or pokemon he doesn't know.
He continued to survey around yet he didn't find anything so he tried to use aura senses. As soon as he used his surrounding began to dissolve and soon two eyes began to appear in front.
But on close observation it turned out to be the anthers of the stantler whose black spots resembled an eye. These pokemons are known for twisting reality and illusions.
They have made many people die horrible deaths because of these illusions. They are one of the chief culprit of deaths happening in the foggy forest.
They themselves are herbivores but their illusions trap once senses making them easy prey for predators and they die.
Alex after seeing this motioned riolu to deal with him. Riolu charged him with a blaze kick and then a force palm defeated it.
He left with his pokemons there and asked riolu to check the area with his aura so they aren't trapped in the illusion again.
Alex after dealing with them has to face a group of Zubat and Golbat who came to drain his blood.
But Espeon, riolu, piloswine and electabuzz settled them down. Among them was a rather tenacious zubat which managed to endure two bolts if thunder from him and still able to move and tried to fly around.
So Alex caught it. After all a poison and flying type crowbar was really strong and he could get another pokemon on whose back he can fly around other than Pidgeot.
If trained well he may even melt some metals with it's poison. Of course other poison type pokemons can have their poison improved but it is a long process with very few offspring surviving the procedure.
This process involve breeding, enduring strong poison while it's few generation later descendants have to mate with another powerful poison pokemon like drapion for example and then this offspring can have a really start poison may even melt stones when released.
Of course very few offspring may survive even as egg or as young ones so the most appropriate pokemon for this process may be spinarak, venepede, venonat or weedle. The bug type are mostly capable for this theory because they give birth to more progeny at a time and have shorter maturation period.
This is Alex's view on poison types and us just a theory as for whether it might be true or not is a completely different things.
But Alex has 60% surity for this theory which he might test later after he has travelled some regions.
But this type of thing must be done in secrecy because of large scale death of pokemons as well as the potential of them. He was thinking these when he caught the Pokemon. As for why Haunter wasn't involved was because he belongs to completely different egg group.
Anyway, Alex has now encountered the attacks of stantler, zubat and even murkrow. This made him vigilant for the next possible attack.
As he was passing he now encountered another Pokemon. This time it was pinser. While passing he didn't encounter any pokemons now. He might have entered the pinser territory and so they are angry at him.
He soon find himself surrounded by the aggressive bug types. They clicked their pinser and were ready for attack but he was calm.
" Mass hypnosis"
Haunter rose from the shadows and shrouded them with his aura and used hypnosis. Normally this attack might fail for some but because he has them trapped in his shadows the hypnosis beam was more effective on them.
And they fell on the ground and fell asleep then he has riolu check the area so that he may easily pass the place without attracting attention of more pokemons.
Being attacked so many times took a toll on him and made him mentally tired. After all he was still only eleven years old now no matter how m_a_t_u_r_e he act these situations may take toll on his mind.
This is another reason Agatha gave him this mission so that he can get accustomed to these situations which may happen more often than not.
Sometimes things will be boring during mission but they must remain calm because often this is a precursor of storm.
Alex continued to trek around the forest bur soon his riolu captured something. According to him he sensed a very big energy source a few hundred metres away and that we should be ready for them.
Since he was warned about this Alex became extra vigilant because normally in these cases this level of energy is a hub of troubles. So Alex released onix out.
When the Rocky behemoth came out, he said," Remain underground and follow us. If we encounter trouble come and help us in retreat after that follow underground. "
Onix bobbed his head up and down and then dig underground. After that Alex was vigilant and had Espeon ready to release more pokemons if he is bound or unable to do so.
On reaching Alex found his target a green haired handsome boy named Bill whom he needed to find and beside him was the most probable source of energy.
It was a ….
What legendary pokemon he encounter now? Why is Bill by his side? Stay tuned
