Chapter 17

POKEMON POV,

" hahaha, it seems you have gotten dull, even an elite Pokemon can tire you like this." Fearow mocked his partner for many years.

Togekiss just sent him a minor glare and retorted, " Have a psychic battle with Mew and then deal with a shadow power using Gengar, we will see who is fine and who has lost his breath. "

The group decided to leave out Mew part for their basal instincts as well as fighting instincts warned them that if they fight her even if they are together, they will lose badly.

As for how bad the result will be is based on the premise on how her mood is.

If she is a good mood they are only knocked out with little to no injuries but if she is angry or completely pissed off, if they are lucky they will die a painless death or be in severe pain for as long as they live.

Pidgeot who was the starter of their trainer and also the strongest of them all inquired, " So was he string enough to pass your test?"

Togekiss sighed and mutters, " Its about time he will see the world outside of this place, where I am not around to save him or look after him.

I dragged it fir a long time. Many Togepi of his generation have already left. With his friends leaving and him left behind with the younger ones, his mood changed and now he is like this."

Fearow didn't say anything about it and kept mum when New was involved in their discussion.

He is sad about his son's change and all of them knew it.

" Don't be so sad. You did it for him. You wished for a strong trainer to raise your son. After all unlike us who have at least half a dozen children, you only have him.

It is perfectly normal for you to act like that. " Xatu tried to comfort the fairy flying Pokemon.

" He is too stubborn. He doesn't listen to me. He doesn't train. He even cause Chaos in the tribe. If he is not my son, he would have been expelled out of the clan long ago." Togekiss started to fume with every sentence he uttered.

Charizard snorted and said, " isn't he doing this to leave this place? We all have proudly narrated our life adventure to them, but none of them have listened as attentively as he did.

He is more earnest to leave this safe haven. So he uses these measures to make you expel him, so he can rush out.

Above all else, he has inherited your stubborn streak, do you think he will calm down and listen once he has set his goal?"

" That's what make me afraid. I would have let him follow a trainer back to the world, but if he isn't good enough for him, Togepi would leave him.

I need someone who can be stubborn, proud, good at raising them and isn't too kind when he is dealing with their misdeeds.

But the trainers are too soft and can only handle normal goody shoes Togepi, not my arrogant and proud son." Togekiss retorted at Charizard words.

" So how is the test going do far?" August asked his togekiss interrupting their discussion.

" They are fine, at least they haven't given up yet. " Togekiss stated.

August shook his head at Togekiss words, " You make them an impossible task in this test Everytime. How do you expect young kids to survive hungry while creating plans to escape their predicament.

You don't even leave them any hints or map to show them the way." August grumbled at his Pokemons tough test.

" In the wild, these Kind if things are common. You and I both know Togekiss test isn't that harsh, compared to real situation. We have lived a month without food in our times, because we were injured and you weren't strong enough to hunt Pokemons for us due to your condition." Charizard rose to his defense.

" Fine, but what scenario did you give them?" August relented and inquired his proud Pokemon.

" Elsa and Cynthia are in a forest where they are surrounded by Rattata, beedrill, etc. They are without supplies and have to reach a town which is about ten kilometers from their position.

As for alex, his test is something special, especially after hearing those praises you have for him. " Togekiss said with a Mischievous glint in his eyes.

This glint may seem mischievous but in fact anyone who knows Togekiss will tell you he has a very long sadist streak. This glint meant Alex is doomed snd will be suffering from something big.

August knew his pokemon's habit and shakingly asked, " Whha... What did you do to him?"

" Nothing, just his test is in the Badlands." Togekiss said and went back to preening his feathers.

All of them even Charizard who supported him looked at him in shock and arrangement. They were surprised by what he did. Especially the Pokemons, for his actions may doom them all.

" Have you gone mad to let the brat do something like that?" Fearow craws at his old partner.

All the pokemons now have different levels of horrified expression thinking about their most probable future in case he is adversely affected from this ordeal.

" Is there any problem with that?" August asked confused by their talks.

Then it sparked to pidgeot that they cannot reveal Mew existence to their trainer. Even if they wanted to, any release of identity may anger her which isn't good especially when things went to this

" Isn't that Charizard trainers's student? We all know how protective he can be about them, do we really want to anger him by doing this? He will lose all rationality and old friendship if his student gets an irreversible injury." Charizard tried to think of a reason anxiously while hiding the true fear of Mew and put all the pot on Samuel, his Charizard and his love and protective nature for his students.

This is something which is very widely known so using this reason didn't cause any suspicion that his Pokemons are trying to hide something.

They have lived together for a long time, August found that they didn't say the entire truth but their years of bond assured him it isn't anything harmful unless he deliberately probed into the matter.

Togekiss saw their expression and laughed at them.

Charizard doesn't like this for they are almost at the doorstep of their annihilation yet he is laughing.

He made his true feeling aware by sending a flamethrower on the ground as a warning, reminding him that he is reaching the limit and won't like being delayed.

"You better have a good reason, because if my family is going to be destroyed for your foolishness, then I will deal with you slowly and painfully.

I am sure others are willing to join this carnival of ours. " Charizard warned while others walked a step forward to show they are together in this, while their leader pidgeot did not say anything, but the fact that he didn't come forward to help him shows he is very well with the others.

Togekiss although a calm and collected Pokemon has his own pride. In the group he is the second strongest, after pidgeot.

Since pidgeot doesn't join he isn't willing to lower his head and glared at them resolutely not having a single thought of backing down.

Seeing the situation going out of hands and things turning very violent pretty soon, August appeared in front of Charizard and Togekiss and separated the two.

" Calm down, you two, Samuel won't be angry but delightful that Togekiss gave him this test.

He will be heading for the Badlands to reside their alone with his pokemons for a week without any help from others before his 15 the birthday.

He is already nearing 13 and he has only two years to complete this task. So don't get aggitated."August explained it to them.

His words surprised them for they know the danger which lies there. As someone who experienced it, they would never let their kids ever head for that place, for that is the true battleground of this world.

A place where strong survive and weak become nourishment for their growth.
