" Who might you be?" Professor Oak asked kindly.
Not waiting for him to answer, his granddaughter answered," Grandpa he is Alex. Grandma Agatha sent him."
On hearing it, his eyes widened for a second," So you are Alex. I heard much about you.
Sorry for not introducing myself, I am Samuel Oak. I welcome you to my Laboratory." He introduced
" Hello professor. I am Alex Bart from Floral town."
" so you didn't come just because of Agatha did you. " He asked mysteriously
" How did you know? Yes I got a Charmander egg once and I was told I will be told about him here. " He answered truthfully.
After all for someone this strong it is foolish to be lie after all they already know some and hiding these would only create differences.
" Yes that pokemon egg I gave that man."
" So do you know him?"
" What pokemon egg ? Grandpa" The Young oak was confused by the whole talk between the two.
Professor looked at Alex as if asking for permission and then said," He has an egg he got from someone I know. Who told him that if he could reach here safely then his pokemons will get stronger."
" Yes. I don't know what to do. I am thinking of how the evolution of Charmeleon will affect him later. If him flying would change his battle style and others.
This prevent me from going all out on his training. I once asked him these but he told me I will find the answers here.
So I came here. And to meet you was a bonus."
" Haha don't mind. I can help you with it. But for that we must head to my backyard. If you don't mind."
"No I don't mind."
And they headed towards the back of the lab.
Now at the backyard of Oak's laboratory,
There was a middle aged brown haired man who wore black shirt and blue pants. He was feeding the pokemons there.
Alex noticed that the food they ate was of higher quality than the ones he make from the recipe he got in the black market.
His assumption was confirmed that the bigger and strong get the family or background is the better resources and facilities they get.
He was curious about this person's identity because he was now feeding a herd of Nidos led by two Nidoking and Nidoqueen.
He even played happily with young nidoran not a bit afraid of the powerful Nido.
Alex felt all four of them are at least as strong as his Pidgeot.
Suddenly the little girl by their side shouted," Daddy" And she ran towards him.
And the man took her in a hug and hoisted her up the ground. He had her sit on his shoulder and came towards them.
This also revealed his identity. He was Blue Oak. The only son of the great Samuel Oak. He was one of the strongest trainer alive.
Meeting him here put a lot of pressure on Alex.
Blue's eyes met Alex and suddenly Alex felt he was in the presence of an Apex predator who would kill him any second.
All instinct told him he Should run.
He was reminded of the devastating defeat with Fang and Giovanni and in the presence of a man Mich stronger than them he has no chance.
Alex yet endured and his aura seeped out giving him warmth and he persisted.
After a while the feeling disappeared as if it was never there.
The young girl was unaware of it but the four Nido nearby as well as professor saw all.
This amazed the Nido that someone so young could have him like that.
Alex back was drenched with sweat with this minute encounter.
" Who is he dad?" Blue asked his father.
" He is Alex Bart. " He replied easily
" is he now? I got to say he is good not as good as me or Red but better than the others " He said cockily.
Seeing him say like that reminded Alex that the cockiness of Gary probably came from him
" I approve."
"'I approve '. What does this mean ?"Alex asked
"Agatha asked me to provide you protection and to help you. This episode now was a test of Blue to see of you are eligible or not and you passed." Samuel answered.
" Just like that " he was still shocked.
" Don't think that it is easy. not many could stand me like you did." Blue said
" Now onto next thing. "Samuel then looked at Blue who nodded at him.
" If you want to know the heritage of your pokemons you must battle me.
I don't want you to defeat me. Just impress my Pokemon and you win "
Soon a loud roar came and two pokemons flew through the air and came in front of them.
It was a humongous Charizard and a Dragonite
They both were at least four times bigger than average ones.
"You will battle my Charizard."
This shocked Alex. He was now infront of Pokemon of legends.
The pressure from. them was much greater than Blue's
He also noticed some Pokemon came towards them too probably to see why they appeared.
Alex took a deep breath and said, " I am ready."
Samuel and Blue were once again impressed by Alex. Not many dare to challenge if they knew that the odds of their victory is almost zero.
They saw in him the presence of the strong.
The strong didn't hide from the ones stronger than them. They are in awe for the other strong than them but not afraid
The young Daisy was happy to see a battle. Most times she wasn't allowed because she might get hurt and now she can see the battle she was thrilled.
They then went to a clearing nearby.
Alex is now facing a Pokemon who can destroy him and his pokemons with just a finger. How the battle goes stay tuned?
To be continued....
