Chapter 212 - 1 Stay at home

It had been six months since Alan and Helen were born. These days had been too tiring for the family since they would often wake up at the dead of the nights for feeding, cleaning, changing clothes, etc.

Alex had overcome the nightmare of the war but two new nightmare haunted his sleep now.

And the name of these nightmares were Alan and Helen. Since birth they were attached to Alex the most and hence he was often called out to calm them down when none of the methods worked.

Often Alex had to called be back from his training when matters went out of hand.

The most difficult days were now over since they have gotten aquainted with other members of the family and doesn't cry when Alex wasn't around.

As Alex was training his pokemons, there were Ben, Clara as well as a new member, Jim who was watching him train his Pokemons.

Jim is the only son of Gwen's brother, Gray. He is currently ten years old. Which means he will get his starter soon.

Unlike Alex who caught his first pokemon at the age of five, he will be getting his in the next few days.

When Alan and Helen were born, his maternal grandfather, James and grandmother, Rose along with his uncle Gray came to see the newborns.

In that time, Gray revealed that his son too will start soon and then his mother told them to let him stay with them so Alex could help him and teach him how to take care of the pokemons.

Of course, all this decision was made without Alex's content.

They stayed at home for a months time and returned to the Cerulean city where they reside. Jim was left behind so he could learn from Alex.

This time Alex had helped Jim in teaching how to identify Pokemon, how to raise different types of Pokemons. How to feed them, what type mostly like what type of food and such things.

Occasionally Gary and his wife come to visit them and Jim here.

In the six months time, Alex noticed that his siblings Ben and Clara too wanted a Pokemon and they were often jealous that Jim gets one way before them.

He himself had prepared a gift for the two which they would get the day, Alex leaves with Jim on his journey. Alex will be spending some time with Jim so he could get accustomed to the life of travelling.

In the six months time, the twins Ralts have evolved into kirlia. Female Kirlia liked her new firm but male disliked the girly appearance. To help him, Alex had asked Professor Oak to procure a dawn stone for him.

After recovering from Mismagius illusion, her mental barrier was strengthened and her psychic control reached half the level of Slowking. ( Slowking could control the entire water of the lake with psychic and control it's shape without using his water powers).

Mew also visited Alex in the past and joined to play with the newborns when no one was looking at them.

Mew innate affinity to living beings made two attracted to her pretty soon.

Alex strength has increased greatly in this time. He could fight on par with poliwhirl now and their duel lasts for an hour before Alex aura reserves are completely drained.

If you want to compare Alex strength had increased significantly over the course of six months.

Now he can take on the leaders of the Angel's wing and devil's Horn on his own pokemon without any external support.

They both had two two psuedo king Pokemon meanwhile Alex three pseudo king along with four elite could hold down the a other pseudo king pretty easily.

Alex after today's training sat with his siblings and cousin and asked," Jim, what pokemon did your father select for you?"

" I don't know. But he said it was a fire type Pokemon. What type of Pokemon did uncle Arthur get for you?" Jim asked.

Alex just smiled at his words and said," I already had three pokemons so they didn't spend much on booking a specific pokemon type for me. I selected Haunter as a Gastly through lottery selection." He revealed.

" So you already had pokemons before you start your journey?" Jim asked amazed after this.

" Of course. You didn't visit us much or you would have seen them. Uncle Gray and Aunt Jean both knew I had Pokemons at the age of five."

Jim turned sad and grumbled sadly," Then why do I have to wait so long for my Pokemon?"

" Jim, my grandpa was a trainer but none of the other member of the family are such. So they thought they couldn't help you raise one and you yourself liked to play and didn't spend time studying and learning about them.

So they pushed the thing till you are age of getting a starter. Also I caught pidgeot and Slowking on my own. And in our family, every member gets a Pokemon at the age of six.

This tradition was started by my grandpa. So Dad got his Pikachu at that age, I got elekid back then. Ben and Clara would get their own soon enough too. " Alex replied back.

" So will we get an electric type too. Then i want a Pikachu , no no, i want an electabuzz. " Ben said it.

He was rewarded with a fist on his head. "Stop dreaming brat. We ,all meaning, grandpa, mom, dad and I had already got the Pokemon for both of you.

Both of them are twins like you so that both of you can bond with them better. "

" Where are you rushing to, brat?"

" To see my Pokemon." Ben said while trying to break free from Alex hold.

" You will get them later, not now. " He simply replied.

" So when can we meet them? " Clara asked softly.

Alex loosened his grip of the shirt making Ben fall down on the ground and then pull Clara into a hug and said," On the morning when I leave with Jim to get him his starter pokemon, you both will get yours."

" So are you leaving? It is good. The only thing you do is scold me or beat me." Ben grumbled.

Alex eyes narrowed on hearing this and then he sharply said, "Is that so? Maybe I should tell Mom that you aren't m_a_t_u_r_e enough to get a pokemon just yet. " He threatened him

This did the trick and Ben immediately apologised.

" Alex do you know what pokemons we are going to get?" Jim asked

" I do know what type of Pokemon all three of you are getting."

The trio pleaded to Alex to know the identity of their pokemons.

Alex ignored it all and then said," I can only tell all of you that the pokemon you all are getting is a quadruple Pokemon."

" Quadruple?" Ben and clara said puzzled by the new word.

" It means four legs. The Pokemons like Growlithe, Espeon, piloswine, ivysaur are quadruple pokemons." Jim explained to them.

"Now why don't you go and see how they move and how their body works so you don't accidentally hurt your starter." Alex said and then the trio ran to Alex's quadruple Pokemon and get to know what they can do and cannot do with their pokemons.

Alex looked at the happy and enthusiastic look on their face and said," this is the smile I fight to protect."

Two days later, Alex and Jim were prepared to leave the house for the Cerulean city. There Alex and Jim will meet his uncle Gray at the Pokemon center.

Alex was taking his pidgeot, Charmeleon, Haunter, kirlia twins, larvitar, Growlithe, Tentacruel and Claydol with him.

Pikachu and Swablu had also positioned themselves on his soldier and the head to show they are accompanying them.

Jim, Ben and Clara were excited at the prospect of getting a new Pokemon.

All the family members except Gwen were present in the living room and awaited her arrival since she would be bringing the Pokemons.

Gwen arrived soon with a tray having two pokeballs on it. She placed it on the table in the drawing room and stepped back.

Michael steeped forth and said ,"Your Pokemons are in this pokeball. You can come forwards and take them."

Ben and Clara took the pokeball with shaky hands and then pressed the button in the center. The pokeball opened and then in a flash two Pokemons come to light.

The two were of the same pokemon species. They were ....

Meanwhile far away,

The ranking of the top trainers have fallen in the hands of the top ten anti league association newly created.
