Chapter 19

The look in his eyes not only surprised August but also his Pokemons who has no idea how situation went so our of hand.

Alex after opening his eyes roamed it over everyone present there. The people and Pokemon except for Mew who seem unaffected, and Elsa and Cynthia who were covered by August body, took a step back involuntarily.

To the surprise of everyone, he suddenly fainted and his body down with his body falling over Gengar's unconscious one.

August took steps towards Alex. When August moved the girls could see his unconscious body. They seem to ignore the past events which occured just a few minutes ago and rushed to his side while shouting out his name in worry, " Alex"

Eevee on the other hand just tilted her head and looked at head ignoring the gaze of the Pokemons who looks at her for her reaction.

Seeing her not acting angry at this sudden change of events they sighed in relief, for they won't suffer the wrath of the legendary.

August checked his pulse to find everything is normal. The girls settled on his side looking at him with worry.

" He is fine. Just unconscious. It seems that the test took a toll on him and needs to rest in order to recover." He then looks up at the girls who seem to cry seeing him like this.

" Don't worry girls. He is strong both physically and mentally." He tried to appease them.

" But why is his reason do intense compared to ours." Elsa asked both confused and angry at this.

" What really happened to him, August?" Elsa asked with Cynthia giving August a strong and firm look which showed they need to know it and will know it whether by hook or by crook.

August was in thought on whether to reveal it to them but seeing their determined gaze he dodged and decided to tell them everything.

He started, " The test you girls got and the one which Alex was different. All three of you had the same task, of finding a human settlement when you are in the middle of nowhere. But the one thing different was the place where you are sent off to. Same is the difficulty level.

Your task level is similar to one another, tough compared to the ones who were tested in the past but can be called heaven compared to Alex's site of test." His words only confused the girls even further.

" Let me explain it this way,. .." before he can continue forward, Mew in her Eevee form walks up to Alex and seem to rest on his chest.

Seeing this, August understood it is better to let them rest in his home.

He stops his explantation and turned towards the group of his old pokemons who sat there while looking at the fainted trainer with worry.

"Xatu, take us back to my house. Letting him rest here, isn't good for him, especially in his recovery and adapting time. " August told his flying psychic Pokemon, Xatu.

Xatu nodded in agreement and flew towards them.

He placed his hands on fainted body of Alex and Gengar while cawed to others to place their hands over him.

August looks at girls band said, "Cynthia, Elsa I will tell you everything when we return back. We cannot let Alex lie on the floor like this."

Elsa and Cynthia wanted to know why he is unconscious immediately but they also know Alex getting a good rest is more important so they relented and placed their hands on Xatu's shoulder along with August.

Xatu criss cross his hands and they teleported away. Togepi who was close by also.placed his hands on Xatu's shoulder along with them while waving bye to his father who looks at him in shock.

When they teleported away, Togekiss who is shocked by his son's action just shook his head.

" In the end, he decided to follow the trainer he wished to follow without even asking my permission. He is really independent." He mutters.

" At least that chaotic son of your is off your hand. Now it is that kids problem. But why did he react so aggressively?" Altaria asked her old friend.

Togekiss shook his head not aware as to why he did act like this, but after some thoughts said, " I don't know."

Pidgeot is confused by his words, "Why don't you know? Didn't you create their test ground and can see everything happening inside. "

Togekiss shook his head and revealed it to them, " I can look at the girl's test, but When I started the test and put them in the illusionary world I created, mew took control of the world from me and I was thrown out from it. She wasn't polite, let me tell you this. That's why I was so slow to deal with Gengar. "

This surprised them even further, for it meant it is not Togekiss but actually Mew who was the true examiner and the only one other than Alex himself who knows what really happened in there.

On hearing it, fearow and Skarmory started cracking out loud while laughing at Togekiss.

" Hahahaha"

Togekiss doesn't know why but their laughter miffed him. He felt they were mocking him.

He asked them aggressively, "Hey what are you laughing about?"

" It's nothing. Just that you did nothing but in the end, the entire pot fell on your head. It is so funny." Skarmory mocked him while the others joined them at laughing at Togekiss expense for it was true.

Togekiss slummed down while muttering, " You guys are the worst." He also thought to himself, ' It seems you have chosen the path for your future. I hope you can grow stronger and even surpass in the future. No I know you will do it. After all you are my son. ' and he looks at the horizon.

In August room,

The remaining members of the group which comprised of Bill, Lucian, Lucius, Aurea, Elesa and Skyla were in August house talking to each other while waiting fir the others to return after they passed their test.

Although they don't know what test they will experience they believe they can pass whatever test they will face.

Bill even went as far as saying, " If Alex cannot pass it then no one can do it. "

" You are underestimating, Cynthia. She is a very powerful trainer. " Lucian said when Bill started to compliment Alex. He can't let him do that or else it may seem Sinnoh is weak. But the ranking has already stated Alex is stronger than Cynthia, which the ones in Sinnoh league wholeheartedly accept, so he cannot directly say Cynthia is stronger and he chose this diplomatic sentence.

Bill continues without missing a beat. " I never said she is weak. I remember him complimenting only two girls around our age, one is Cynthia and other is Elsa. For others he never once complimented their fighting skills,not even someone as strong as Aurea. "

This made Lucian curious what he meant but those who saw Aurea fight that day, know that he never regard that level of strength as his rival.

" You cannot be so insensitive, Bill. Even though Alex feels that way doesn't mean you will use it to lower once confidence." Elesa came forward to defend her friend.

Skyla stood over Bill head while glaring down at the insensitive scientist slash entrepreneur.

Bill feels that he is in for a good tongue lashing, but it seems luck was in his favour, for at that very moment, August and the group teleported at the room.

When Bill saw them he was happy to get a chance to escape and he happily said, " Hey guys, you are back pretty quick. So how was the test?"

But on seeing the unconscious body of Alex and Gengar, he asked in shock and outrage mixed in unequal proportion, " What happened to them?"

" They are resting, don't disturb them. I will explain it later when I have placed them in their room." August said after which he picked up Alex I'm his hands and walked forward meanwhile Xatu levitate the body of Gengar behind.

Eevee and Togepi walks follows behind.

When others tries to follow them, August turns around and said," They need rest. If you all are also there and crowd the room, you may affect him adversely so remain here until necessary. "

His tone has an edge in it how serious he was now, until his normal friendly tone.

The two girls namely Cynthia and Elsa are worried for him while the others are getting more and more tensed with the passage of time.

Few minutes later, he returns with his Xatu and settled on the empty chair.

He picks the glass from the table, drinks water, then turns to others, " Shoot whatever question you have for me, I will answer as long as it isn't something classified."

And then the former elite four was bombarded with the question of kids who were less than a fifth of his age.
