Chapter 258 - 45 Final round begins

Next day,

Time-in the morning,

Alex and Bill are sitting together and having breakfast.

Although Alex is calm, Bill isn't so calm now, in fact he is nervous. He walks around the room nervously.

Alex arched his brows and advised to his friend," Calm down Bill. You might get hurt if you don't get a hold of yourself."

Instead of calming, Bill becomes even more agitated and shout in indignation, " Calm? How can I be calm? You have a fun match just a few hours later and I hear that foolish declaration of yours."

After saying that he takes a deep breath and sat down on the chair in front of Alex.

" See my advise seems to work. Now you are calmed down. All you needed was an anger filled shout and you are back to normal." Alex said smirking. Alex found it amusing.

Bill on the other hand didn't find it even a bit amusing, for he gave Alex and unamused glare and alleged,"How can you say something like that? Had you said something like that in private, we could twist the story or something.

But you said it in front if many people and some even made sure to record the video.

Above all else, that bitch Marian knows about this. And she has requested the management to broadcast it so as to increase the people from watching this match.

She hasn't hid her disdain for you and now she gets a chance to make a fool out if you in public. If you haven't stopped me, things could have been much better but it isn't the case anymore."

Alex didn't seem affected and didn't say a word until he was fine eating.

After he is finished he spoke,"Facts are louder than words, Bill. If I beat her this way not only will my task be completed but that Marian would suffer greatly.

Although I won't take actions, my current actions are under the eyes of the League executives, so her future is over the moment she targeted me. " He rises from the table and went to wash off his hands.

After returning he said," I have three champion level people behind me, Bill. I am sure many will use it to curb the increasing arrogance of the pokemon coordinator. They think just because their number rise, their strength increases. Now they can shake the position of trainers.

But they forgot one thing, as long as the champion system exists in the league, no one can move us." He then turns to look at Bill who has a look of anticipation about the future events which might unfold.

" You give coordinator a chance to rise and through you, they are also reminded the norm of the time." Bill mumbles.

Alex bends to Espeon level and rub her head," are you ready for the battle, girl?"

Espeon just purred on his hands.

In the indoor battleground,

Alex and Elsa stands at opposite sides in a barren battlefield ready for their final match.

Alex is all prepared to beat her with her Espeon meanwhile Elsa is currently in deep thoughts about the battle.

Suddenly the stinging voice of Marian , ie, at least according to Alex, Bill as well as many trainers around who don't seem to like her anti trainer words, came," Now, it is the finals of the first tournament in S S Smith.

It is between Elsa Reid of Almia who is also a member of the royal family." She stopped while the audience cheered loudly for her.

" Go Elsa, go. Show them the the power of Almia. "

" Go Almia go"

There were even some banner made with Elsa portrait in them with supportive words for her.

There are many people supporting her, even people from Kanto showed her support while Alex on the other hand almost no supporter.

If not for Bill paying some people to show their support he may not even have even a simple supporter.

As for why he won't have a supporter, Marian reveals it for everyone

" Next we have a very Arrogant young trainer who seem to think himself as the best." She introduced

While bill thought,' He is the best, you bimbo.' he seethed in anger and was burning in rage from hearing her speak.

' Enjoy yourself now, for your good days will soon be over. Someone was going to be sacrificed to appease the trainers soon. In the end it's your fault for targeting Alex.

Now noone can save you.'

" He even said out in public he would accept defeat if his Espeon is defeated and his second Pokemon won't even participate in the battle but sit down and watch the battle.

He is so arrogant that he even agreed to do so in public. Let's see if he can at least follow his words and do as he said."Marian sneered at Alex.

Stain was warned by an old friend of his about the upcoming doom of Marian so he stayed silent and let her speak more, for who knows when she can be in it again.

In the battlefield,

Alex and Elsa stood opposite while the referee stood ready to start the match at the prescribed time.

Alex mumbles loud enough to both Elsa and Referee to hear," She sure can harp long."

Elsa just arched her eyebrow meanwhile the referee too find her voice annoying but he couldn't say anything unrelated at this time, so he remains quiet but one could see he found it funny with his rising lips.

A call came to him which made him stop his thoughts and replied to it. Then the referee suddenly shouted loud enough for everyone to hear,"Please be quiet, now the organizer of the tournament will say a few words before the final officially starts."

He points towards the same elevated platform from where the Captain gave his first speech.

He has this arrogance and pride excluding from him, showing he is a very rich guy and has deep seated arrogance in him.

" Good morning to everyone present here. I am Bill Montenegro, the sole heir of the Silph corporation and also the head of this tournament Management committee.

I am thankful to all the participants for giving us such a marvelous showdown so far. These battles are not only exciting but also nerve wrecking which keep us attuned to the battle the whole time.

This time, for the finals we have Princess Elsa Reid from Almia royal family. Her ability and skill have been helpful in her rude to this position."

When Bill said that, Elsa gave a not so happy look at Alex who just smiled back at her.

She knows it was most probably Alex who informed him about her ability usage as he hinted her yesterday about her powers which earned her a victory.

Bill continues," Then we have Alex Bart from Kanto who is the dark horse of the tournament. Most people may consider it his luck for reaching to this level, and feel he is arrogant but I don't think so.

I think he has earned his right to be Arrogant. After all a student of the world renowned Professor Oak dies have the capital to be proud.

After all, not many trainers can reach his level. For he not only be an assistant Professor but also an advance level trainer."

Bit, none of them are more shocked then Maria, the commentator.

Her colleague Stain advised her," You better apologize to Mr. Bart after this match, for if he wishes to target you for your snide comments at him, you will not even have the chance to fight back."

Maria just sat quietly deep in her thoughts about her future.

Bill continues," These two abled trainers have reached this position with their own abilities as we have seen.

Alex has also decided to make things more interesting by issuing that overconfident challenge as most of the people here say it as. So, I have given him that permission.

Alex's Espeon will be fighting Elsa's Pokemon alone, two at a time and if Espeon lost the battle then he will withdraw, making Elsa the champion of the first tournament.

I am sure many of you wish for it start. So, let's get the battle started. " He shouted out loud with full of excitement for the upcoming beatdown of Elsa's Pokemon.

His current actions and behaviour has made Alex shook his head in dismay.

Alex and Elsa eyes met each other again and on Referee signal,released their pokemons at the same time.
