Chapter 13 Pocket space

When August and the trio of young trainers looked around to see the new place where Xatu has teleported them off to, they see a clear sky.

They are on a hill top from which one can see the entire Island and even see the ocean far off.

They can also see the roof of August's house which is built on the tallest tree of the forest.

The hill that they are currently at gas a very steep slope on which one can only scale it through mountain climbing.

While Alex looks around the place, Elsa and Cynthia inquires their examiner.

" What are we doing here? Where are the Togepi and it's nest?" Cynthia asked.

" Yes. Are the Togepi far way from here or something?" Elsa asked with a confused look similar to Cynthia on her face.

They never doubt August for he is someone who know Samuel Oak ( Alex don't doubt), Caroline ( so Cynthia don't doubt) and since others don't doubt him so Elsa is fine.

"Are they in some hidden space?" Alex said with a hint of anticipation.

" So you know about it?" August asked with surprise on his face.

" I read through some books about them. It is said that Palkia can create some pocket spaces. So I thought some powerful Pokemons themselves might have similar ability or have acquired one such pocket space for themselves to remain hidden. " Alex said excited when August didn't deny the prospect.

August just smiled at his excitement as he finally saw Alex act like a kid his age.

" What are these pocket space you speak of, Alex" Elsa asked as she never heard of them before.

Cynthia asked her own question," I know Palkia is the Lord of space but why would he leave pocket space around?"

Instead of Alex who only have little information regarding pocket spaces August who knows more revealed it to them, " Pocket space are the places which are hidden from plain sight but on passing through the gateway one can reach a place much bigger than a small place can hold.

Think of something like a small room. If the room has a pocket space, then on entering the gateway, you can enter a place as big as a village, town, city or area even bigger than them. " The group has a look.pf awe on the face.

Then he turns to Cynthia and continued his explantation, "And as for your question Cynthia, these pocket space are a network. These spaces are the places from which energies on the parallel space and time connect with each other.

There is a main world space and time and from it, a new parallel world is created which in turn creates another.

These worlds would be destroyed if not for a continuous flow of energy or network of energy to sustain them. Of course this is also to protect the main world , for if the main world is destroyed the chain is broken and parallel words will be destroyed.

So you can say every pocket space is a time bomb which is to be protected and cannot be eradicated for their destruction can cause imbalance in the energy flow and destroy the world. " August explained and finished with a warning about imminent world disaster.

When Alex heard about the balance of energy flow and pocket space connection he has a question running through his mind, but he stops that for it is something only someone like Mew can answer.

If the answer is too startling he may not be able to withstand the shock and faint so he pushed it back for later when he is alone and then asked August another question, " Is it a proven or is it one of those theories which are too exaggerated to be true?"

Most should take offence if someone said something like this to them, but not August infact he found it gratifying.

" Spoken like a true scientist. To answer your question no there is no confirmation in the theory I said to you, but the energy flow is true. So we are quite alert whenever a pocket space comes out.

Normally only trainers whose strength have reached champion are allowed to possess a pocket space, as for elite four only the strongest have this privelege. " August revealed.

He seem to reminisce the past and continued to explain the history of this one, " This was a pocket space which was awarded to me when I became strongest of the elite four after the champion.

At that time, Togekiss nest seem to be eyes by many people. I was able to hold back people with wrong intentions for those pure Pokemons and later hid them in.this space.

My Pokemons along with togekiss live here. Because of their rarity, they normally live inside and I occasionally send out some curious Togepi to skilled trainers.

I never mention the pocket space to them though. You all are skilled and may have one such space in the future so I mentioned it to you.

What other advantages they hold is something I will not say now, let it be a surprise for the future." August said while taking a step forward and suddenly disappearing in front of everyone's eyes.

The trio stood in shock for sometime until Eevee whacked her tail at Alex feet making him fall on the ground.

The thud from Alex fall woke them from their shock. The girls giggled at Alex after which they walked forward and disappeared from Alex's vision just like August.

" So is the tree of Beginning not only a pocket space but also a conduit for energy flow, Mew?" Alex asked Mew in his thought.

Mew's voice rang in his mind, ' Yes, you are current in your deduction abd that theory is mostly true. But I won't say anything else, for it will only be a burden to you if you know more than you should.

Become as strong as this old man and I will say something about this, but not anytime soon.

Not even some legendary Pokemons know what role these pocket space play. Only the strongest and the oldest ones know about their purpose so just ignore then for now.

And hurry up, others might be waiting for you.'

Alex rose to his feet after a quick chat with Mew and then started to walk towards the pocket space.

As soon as he walked inside, he is greeted to the sight of many different bird Pokemons flying in the air, completely contrast to the birdless sky of Happy island.

The place that Alex currently is at is a cave's mouth at the top of a cliff with forest around. From.the cliff top Alex could see pretty far. Alex could see a river flowing and merging with a big lake.

There are no big clearing around as there are tall trees which covered the entire forest except for some small covering and the large lake.

He kept looking around to see many different plants which are quite bizarre and unique in shape and size, before he could continue to look around, a hand on his shoulder startled him making him fall on the ground.

During his fall, he tripped and fell on the person who gripped his shoulder making that person join him.

With Alex pulling the hands, Alex was on the bottom while the other one is on top of him.
