Ch14- The Chase and the King Gene

Route 3 (10 days before Gunn met the Elder Clefable)

Alder was flying on his Flygon. He was in a rush and did not pay attention to his surroundings. His Flygon abruptly stopped

"Why did you stop, fly faster....who are you guys?????"

Alder could see that he was surrounded.

Three Crobats and each one had a human riding them. Then a blue-haired guy spoke

"Petrel, don't you think surrounding him like this is a overkill?"

"Shut up Archer, Boss told us not to make any mistakes. Just finish him and let's go our ways."

Then the lone red-haired women spoke

"Now now stop fighting, this will be a good meal for my Crobat, look at that juicy flygon."

Petrel then said annoyingly

"Ariana, first finish what the Boss ordered"

Before Alder could try talking his way out of this, all three Crobats unleashed their attacks at once. Ice beams were shot rapidly at the flygon. Flygon did not even have a chance, it crashed down with Alder breaking some of his bones.

Alder could only tear up and without even thinking twice he threw Arcanine's Pokeball out. "Arcanine, Extreme speed and take me into Mt.Moon."

Alder escaped with injuries, his Arcanine was lightning fast.

" Look I told to pay attention and now he is escaping"

"Don't worry petrel, he can't go anywhere and that's just his last diss. I will follow him and then kill him. You can rest assured." said Archer.

Ariana's Crobat was munching on the Flygon. Petrel could only sigh at that. And then he too followed behind Archer. Petrel

did not want to fuck this up just because these maniacs wanted some playtime.

-------------

Alder was just in front of Mt.Moon and before he could feel relieved, an air slash hit Arcanine and due to the impact, Alder flew right into the entrance of Mt.Moon.

He crashed into a rock-like protrusion and was bleeding very badly. He did not even know what to do. He ran forward without looking back and he did not stop to ask help from the trainers as he knew they won't be of any help. They would also be killed because of him, if he said something.

After nearly running for 30 minutes, he sat near a boulder and opened his backpack. Sadly there was nothing to cure him, only pokemon potions were available. There was an egg inside, he took it out and clutched it closer. Before he knew, his eyes lost consciousness. after two hours or so, a cleffa saw him and was startled. She noticed an egg in his hands. She couldn't leave it behind so she took it and went back to inform the Elder.

Petrel and Archer arrived at the same spot after searching for half a day, only to see Alder's lifeless body. They searched his bag but couldn't find anything, hiding their disappointment, they made their Crobats eat the body.

Present-day

[Finally, you have come]

Hearing a voice, I look around to find its owner. When I turn to my left, I see a Huge pink pokemon. Even the word Gigantic would be small for a Clefable of this size. She is literally ten metres tall and a normal Clefable would be one to two metres tall.

Seeing that I wasn't replying, she started her explanation

[ Normally, I don't stay in contact with anyone not even if its someone special like you, but the situation demanded it. I wanted someone trustworthy, because the message I pass is really important. I even saw someone with the letter 'R' on their shirts a few days ago. So I was impatient but I couldn't step out. The psychic pokemon is disrupting my premonition ability, it even gave me some warnings indirectly. It's too powerful for me to handle but I sensed some of that kid's aura on you, many trainers around here talk about him these days. I heard he is a professor and has a lot of power in Kanto. Pass my message to him.]

"Su...sure...ma'am"

'If Oak is a kid then what am I, a baby?'

[Two months ago I had a premonition. A destroyed city, A massacre, millions of lives lost and what's surprising was that all this was done by some rebelling pokemon and a Psychic humanoid thing which looked like a mutation of the mythical pokemon Mew. There were also some bits and pieces of other information. People who call themselves Team Rocket were behind this abomination, I saw their labs in my vision. Please reach to the next city as soon as possible and contact Oak.]

[Sigh...]

she gave a long sigh and the continued

[ That kid was just twenty when he came here. He was cheery and looked dumb, who would have imagined him to become a professor. I know that you might have some questions regarding why I am telling this only to you. You see...A trainer acknowledged by an Aura and the Feeling Pokemon can never be evil. Another reason is that you were the only one who had the aura of Oak who passed by here recently, so I thought you might know him.]

"Ma'am, I will hurry as fast as possible to Cerulean and inform Professor Oak. He is my sponsor, so I can reach him through poke caller in pokemon centres."

[Good, then I will thank you in advance. Nearly a week back, one of the cleffa found this egg. I feel that it won't be safe around here and I recently had a feeling that Mt.Moon is going to be in trouble due to those Rocket guys and that clone of Mew.]

She thought over it again and did something, then a shiny light passe from her hands into the egg.

[Take care of this one for me, ok. I don't want to involve something so young and special with these shameful idiots. I blessed her with something. It's called 'The King Gene'. People think that it's a mutation of superior genes but its not. It comes from my planet and only I have the ability to bless them with it. Superiors from the league already know about this. Many who know about it come here for the blessing, but they need to go through a trial that I set for them. Not even 25 people passed it till date and I informed the origins of King Gene to everyone who has passed the test.]

I was very eager now but I calmed my mind and asked her.

"Ma'am, I don't know what this test is and I haven't even passed it, so why are you giving it to me?"

[Good question, one reason is that you are a fellow other worlder. I don't know how you managed to come here. I also have no interest in your business but please try to stop that abomination from wrecking havoc. The other is -- I have a hunch that you will play a big part in it, that's the reason I am gifting you with a companion that has King's Gene. It will help you on your journey, now get to Cerulean and pass my message.]

"Ma'am, Thank you for keeping trust in me. I will do my best to stop it."

I received the egg from her and then she also gave me 2 stones telling me that they will be helpful. I know they are not moonstone, not a keystone either. One looked like a mega stone but the other I am not sure. I exited Mt.Moon through a secret path that was shown by the Elder Clefable. I knew what was inside the egg. I could recognize the patterns around it, only one pokemon has them.

Any guesses on what the egg hatches to?

(clue: it can mega evolve)

Fun Fact:

The Poison-type Pokemon Koffing, as well as its evolution Weezing, were originally going to have very different names to their current labels. In the Pokemon Red and Blue beta, the names initially laid out for the two were 'Ny' and 'La', in reference to the air pollution in New York City and Los Angeles.
