Chapter 229 - 18 Informing the parents

It has been almost 3 o clock in the afternoon, when Alex had decided to contact the Waterflower family and Gordon family just after them. When dialing at the Waterflower, Alex wished to be greeted by Mathew. With him knowing the incident first, the situation will be within control and won't explode exponentially, but fate wasn't on Alex's side.

The image of his wife, Daphne appeared instead of Mathew and he knew that he was screwed. Even though, she was a former trainer, she was still a mother and no mother liked her children in danger even if said danger was only virtual.

Alex decided he should just bite the bullet and reveal everything to her as she would know it anyway. Of she thinks that he hid things about Daisy then even if it is for good reason, he would be the one to be cooked and grilled by her.

Just as Alex can see her image , Daphne too could see Alex. And her experienced eyes could see the worry and anxiety on Alex face. She was curious about it, but restrained her curiousity and greeted the young man in front with politeness," Good afternoon, Alex. How are you doing? Are Daisy and Jim doing fine?"

"Good afternoon, Daisy. I am almost fine. But Daisy and Jim they are...." Alex trained and stopped. He was thinking whether to roam around or just go straight to the topic.

Alex stopping the sentence midway gave her an omnious feeling and she asked with a worried tone," Alex, what Happened to Daisy? Where is she?" Where is my daughter?" She started to shout at him asking about her daughter.

Her shouts had attracted the attention of other occupants. The other occupants included the pokemon cultivator, Pokemon doctors and referee along with other staff necessary for proper functioning of a gym as big as the Cerulean gym.

They had arrived around her, but only Mathew who arrived last dared to approach her.

He arrived at her side, placed his hands on her shoulder and shook to ask," What happened, dear? Why are you so anxious?" Then he turned to look at the guide he asked help for his daughter.

He looked at Alex and understood something happened which wasn't according to the plan alex convinced him of and things may have been something troublesome. His wife was still hysterical as her thoughts run wild, so he asked Alex," Alex, did something happen?"

" Mathew, Daisy and Jim are currently in Pokemon center. They had a kidnapping attempt. Although I saved them they are currently put in forced sleep by the nurse joy.

The encounter may be a little too much for the two, so I hoped whether you can contact my family there, and bring them along with you to help them speed up the recovery. " He quickly explained it to them.

Matter who knew the entire plan frowned a little, but Daphne who was completely unaware was shouting at Alex while crying," how can you let this happen? We asked you to look after our daughter. How can you be so careless?"

She was shouting and crying about her daughter which Mathew tried to calm down. He looked from his wife and told Alex," Where are you now, Alex? We will come there with a Gordon family as soon as possible. And you can explain everything I've we reach there."

" I am in solar town now. I will wait for your arrival."

And he turned off the phone so that he won't feel anymore guilty than he already did.

The crying of Daphne as well as pain at her daughter's injury reminded Alex to his past adventure of leading the pokemon riot. He had lead the troops yet so many lost.

But he soon recovered before becoming adversely affected and said with great determination," I will become strong enough to deal with those situations without any single casualty. "

After that, he once again laid on the bed looking up at the ceiling while thinking of the nightmare which he will be facing in the form of the mothers of Waterflower and Gordon family.

As he turned his head sideways, his eyes fell on the box he received from nurse joy. After getting the box and looking at the things inside, he had decided to create the plan he currently enacted.

-----------------------------------------------------

Flashback ( evening he got the parcel)

Alex took the parcel and arrived at the room. His Pikachu took the key from his pocket and opened the door for him. Alex placed the box on the bed and then went into the washroom to clean himself and take a bath.

As soon as he decided to open it,Pikachu and Swablu started to open the box. While shredding it's cover into pieces. After opening them, he saw that it had more boxes in them, along with a note.

When the two were going to open these boxes, he asked them to stop and let him read the note first.

It stated:

" Alex,

Your actions in the Pokemon tide was praiseworthy and improved the declining stature of kanto in the eyes of other nations. Hence, we the elite four of Kanto decided to reward you and had sent these gifts.

You were recovering from your emotional suffering for the past few months and we didn't want to interfere in it and slow down the process. We thought it may take you an year to recover. But, you recovered much quicker than we originally expected.

So we had to haste the process of acquiring you your reward as well as compensation from our side to let you take part in this.

This will help you greatly in your future endeavors.

- from Agatha, ghost type elite four."

He had randomly picked up a box from there, and opened it up.

On opening he saw many different coloured stones in the box placed in a specific order and sequence with labels on the box for identification purpose.

These stones were the evolutionary stones. The box contained every evolutionary object known to the league till now. And every single object was an advanced one which can also increase the strength of the pokemons greatly after evolution.

There were fire stone, water stone, leaf stone, thunder stone, sun stone, moon stone, dawn stone and dusk stone.

All of them were expensive, but in this collection their prove can be hiked to three to five times their price separately.

But, Alex had no hopes of selling it as he d_e_s_i_r_ed to use the dawn stone to evolve his make kirlia who anxiously wanted to evolve and free himself from the girly appearance and from the frock.

Alex released his two kirlia and then explained the two about the power of dawn stone. He decided to evolve kirlia to Gallade in front of his sister to let her increase her strength herself and evolve to Gardevoir.

Alex picked up the dawn stone and placed it on kirlia's hands. As soon as it came in contact with him, kirlia body glowed and his body grew tall.

When the light dims on kirlia's place was a taller white Pokemon with tonfa like arms blade at the ends. His legs were narrow and his body was built for speed.

After this, Pikachu himself wanted to evolve and jumped towards the thunder stone but Alex caught him and stopped his path.

He told him," Pikachu, you still haven't reached your peak. You can still grow much strength. After you learn some more skills and moves available only in this form, will I let you evolve. "

Pikachu wasn't convinced and pointed out how kirlia was allowed to evolve so soon, but Alex joked about it and said," If you can behave like a girl and have her appearance for a few months, then maybe I could let you evolve sooner. "

This prospect was too scary for him and he reluctantly agreed to wait for the optimum time and evolve only then.

Alex after that called out Haunter and told him the plan, He created while giving the two main roles to Haunter and Gallade. He spent the rest of the time explaining to other members of the team and kind of forgot about looking at other rewards he gained.

----------------------------------------------------

Present time,

Alex picked up the second box out of the four boxes he got from the league as a reward.

The box was opened and I side it was a pendant. The pendant gave off a calming aura and when he looked at the pendant with his aura vision,his eyes hurt from the bright life energy in the pendant.
