Chapter 110 - Ghost stone

Willow brought out a small box, and handed over to Alex.

Alex took the box and opened it to see two dull grey rock having an eerie feeling. He didn't know what it was and then thought of Jewel.

Bill himself was curious what this rock was but Daniel by the side was shocked on seeing this. ' Did grandma Agatha really want to give him these?'

" Jewel what is this rock?"

Jewel on hearing the command scanned the rock with her camera and then said ,' This rock is called the ghost stone. It is one of the most important prop for ghost types. They are normally found in places where there is high concentration of ghosts or life energy.

This is created when the ghost power in the environment is high enough to influence the surrounding and slowly they get deposited on the rock nearby.

This helps to increase the ghost power in ghost types. It is also said that the ghost Pokemon, Spiritomb is also a Pokemon which was earlier a ghost stone and with enough deposition over years slowly gained conscience and later become an autonomous pokemon.

These rocks also help to increase chances of egg in mating of ghost types.

Because of the lack of much information about these, these rocks are very precious. If one sells them in the market they could easily earn millions."

" So why did she give me something so precious?" Alex asked Willow.

" It was what she got herself. I don't know why she gave you this, but I know why you need it.

You Haunter is really a special case. Normally in Haunter the Pokemon has high concentration of ghost energy and poison is in lesser amount.

But in your case, it is exact opposite. "

" Opposite?" Alex asked

" Yes opposite. I saw the situation in the battle. Agatha had warned me earlier about it. So to solve that she sent these for you.

Your Haunter has higher concentration of poison than ghost.

No matter how we look at the Haunter line, it is a primary ghost type and secondary poison. So in evolution they gather enough ghost or rich life energy for their evolution to Gengar.

But with your unknown conditions, there may be many variables. She had consulted her friend, Samuel about this problem and he came to a conclusion."

" What is the conclusion?"

" For smooth evolution, you need an equal amount if both in the body. Since you have high poison in body similar ghost external energy is needed or it might cause him problem.

None of us know what your new variation will take Haunter but they came to the result that these ghost stone may increase ghost power in the body.

So for evolution you may need a high ghost energy source so that it won't affect Gengar. Normally one is enough but for you two can help you later in case the poison in his body go haywire to subdue it with ghost energy. "

Hearing the explanation, Alex was in Meditation. He thought his new variation for Haunter was great and may make him even stronger than average Gengar in the future but now he learned that his experiment may cause him problem later or even kill him opened his eyes to a new revelation.

Experiment can be done and done only if you are willing to pay the price. Alex then told him," Thank you for telling me this. I will keep it in mind. "

Willow nodded then said," why don't you all young blood enjoy yourself . I will take my leave. I am nit as energetic as I was in my youth. I get tired easily. " And Willow headed inside

The three young boy stood there and then Bill said Daniel ," if he gets tired why isn't your father the gym leader "

" My father is the current gym leader. He has gone out for something. So we had closed the gym for the month.

Then grandma Agatha called and had talked with grandpa and he agreed to be your opponent. He is now retired and doesn't get involved in the gym matters.

He also told me to look at you. And he was right. You are really strong. Probably as strong as Cynthia." He replied.

" Cynthia?" Alex asked not knowing her not surprising he doesn't even know many trainers his age

" Cynthia is regarded as the strongest of our generation. She has a really powerful Gible who after evolving into Gabite is even more powerful.

I fought her once with my Haunter and she destroyed me with her gible. She has gible and riolu, gastrodon along with glaceon. Although not as strong as gible but still only Eevee lost against my Haunter. Others were his equal." Daniel explained.

They have started to walk towards the pokemon center. " I didn't know she was so powerful. Her Alex seems you got an opponent."

" I don't know since she can be so strong and with a pseudo legendary I think only Lance could match. I fought a pseudo legendary once and I was demolished. Her would be even more stronger over time.

If we fight now, I think that even with all my pokemons I would lose. I still have to train harder if I need a chance. I still need to heal my Pokemon so I am leaving now. Come along Growlithe "

Growlithe woffed and followed Alex who ran towards the center leaving bill and Daniel.

Left behind, Bill asked Daniel," Do Alex really stand a chance against her?"

" If he has another pokemon as strong as slowking the victory belongs to him. His Slowking is stronger than gible but if compared to gabite it might be his equal.

But we don't know the exact result until they battle. So how many badge does he have by now?"

" There are fist badge, boulder badge, Viridian badge and now the ghost badge. So it makes four badges. He will still need four more and he has an year left for the league so he can get them over time.

I really want to see him go all out." Bill said excited in the end.

Meanwhile with Alex,

He and Growlithe who has followed him had reached the center and deposited Slowking and Haunter to nurse joy.

When he reached his room, he immediately took out the pokeegg incubator from which sensed a powerful force when he was with Bill and Daniel.

He felt the egg may hatch soon so he headed back to prepare. He has called back Miltank too for the young pokemon.

He placed it in the center while Growlithe and the newly released Espeon looked at the now brightly glowing egg.

So he brought the egg out of the incubator. The shiny light got brighter over time and soon it glowed and a Pokemon appeared in front of them.

It was a small reptilian Pokemon with Rocky skin. It was a larvitar.

How will the pokemons react on seeing the pre evolved form of Pokemon which demolished him? Stay tuned
