Chapter 94 - REWARD FROM GORDON

Alex went towards the now tied up poachers with some heavy thoughts. If he let them go, they would probably try to find problems for him or Hunter J would make them do it. So here Alex wanted to deal with all of them.

Alex thought of his pokemons. His older pokemons have already killed some people who felt they were easy targets when he travelled around the town. But his younger pokemons have never killed or at least never killed them face to face.

This will be a good time to exercise their mind. He released his pokemons once more and started to heal the injured Haunter and Espeon. When They were able to move around he stood in front of the captured poachers and motioned his pokemons to surround them.

After that Alex told his Slowking to wake them up so that it might get started. Alex was going to kill all of them now and here so the news of him getting a mysterious and most probably a powerful pokemon egg should not spread

He know that Hunter J won't reveal him because it would soul her reputation and if they are left or handed over to the league they might spread words about him and the pursuit of J for him will be more enthusiastic to the point of his family getting involved which he doesn't want.

As for why waking them up Alex wanted to strengthen the resolve if his pokemons. If they were unconscious their death will be silent but with how he keeps getting involved in these situations Alex felt they should now learn to dye their hands red.

Soon the twelve people caught were slowly coming to senses. He then nodded to Slowking and three of them flew out. Alex then told Espeon, Haunter and Bulbasaur, " Espeon use iron tail to end him, Haunter ice punch and Bulbasaur use vine whip to suffocate him"

They did as he asked and soon, the three saw the life in the eyes of his captured people slowly leaving their attacks began to slowly down in case of Espeon and Haunter while Bulbasaur grip loosened. Alex then resolutely said," Don't hesitate and do as I say or I will let you like them even more slowly."

This made them afraid. Although Espeon and Haunter killed the goons earlier too but to see them die right in front of their eyes while looking at their eyes was terrifying. They averted Their eyes or closed but once again Alex said," don't close your eyes. Learn to bear it because in the future you would have to go through this kind of situation more and more. " his voice was as cold as ice they waivered a little but held till the end.

After that he let them end the rest too. Slowking meanwhile had dug a pit to bury them. Alex saw the three pokemons at daze after undergoing these situations. Alex bent down to his knees and rubbed the head of Espeon and Bulbasaur and said softly," If we want to grow stronger we will be entering the true wildzone soon and there you will truly experience kill or be killed situation.

That place is where not even league intervenes because this place is a true birthplace of genius."while he thought ,'Every pokemon elite four trainer as well as champion has to stay here for at least a year and the newly assigned gym leaders must show their capability by staying there for at least two months to show their skills and poweress.

As soon as we are entered in list of youth tournament Professor told me that I must enter there and stay for at least a week so that we could access the level we really reach.

If we can remain in the forest for a month we will be granted a Pokemon Researcher certificate and we can directly enter the tournament instead of going through the qualifiers.'

" If we can't survive even a month there we will never be regarded as a truly strong trainer. Because of the league there isn't any war among regions but out there is a battlefield so we will have to be ruthless if needed to survive there. Remember never show mercy on a battle " he said finally and then Slowking rose the dead bodies into the pit and Pidgeot used heat wave to burn them slightly and disfigured them.

After they burned a little he filled the pit so that they won't attract others attention by scent of decay. He then returned the Pokemons and took the Pokemon eggs to the leaf village via riding the Pidgeot.

Alex himself was a little hurt with letting his pokemons go through this. Even Espeon who travelled around with him was now in the pokeball along with Haunter. Yet it was necessary.after all people killed by you right in front of you or one dying fecause of you away from you is different.

He put these thoughts back and Alex saw a small locality with small house at a distance. There were around twenty to forty house in this place so the population here won't exceed a few hundred at most. Alex directly headed to the biggest house at centre of the village where the possibility of finding the village elder Gordon was most probable

Pidgeot flying over the village had attracted the attention of people below and they started to head for the center to see why someone would come at a small place like this. This uproar also brought out the elder from the building.

Alex came down from Pidgeot and came in front of elder Gordon. Gordon asked him," Is there any problem out there? Did you have any problem?Did you find them there?" he felt Alex encountered a problem or didn't find them there so he came back here to him.

Alwx just pulled out the pokemon egg for Gordon to see and told him," Here you go. So what was my reward again?"

" You got them back so soon from those poachers. What Happened to those poachers?"

" after I beat them down they ran away also you only asked me to get back the eggs and not to catch the poachers or anything." Alex said

" Yeah what you say is true. So why don't we head in and so I can officially complete the contract along with your rewards."

" I am in a hurry. I was heading to the port for some fresh berries and now with that Snorlax I am in need of tons of berries for his appetite along with some seed for growing them myself."

" Is that so?" he asked and his eyes sparkled and said," I was going to hand over a rare pokemon for your help but if you need berries we could help you with this."

Gordon went inside and after a few minutes came out with a pokeball, a certificate as well as a bag and handed them over to Alex," Here are some seeds of Oran berry, cherry berry, pecha berries, rawst berry, Cheeto berry and also sitrus berry. I think these will be adequate."

Alex was shocked by this and involuntarily blurted out ," Isn't it a bit too much?"

" These pokemons were a ray of hope for us. Of we lost them we will be having great lsoe and you helping us out was similar to giving new hope to us. So they don't matter. " He said sincerely. These pokemons were much more to the old man than to Alex. They were a source of uplifting the status of the village in the league. If they could have an intermediate level trainer fron here then they would get much relief than they do now. So Gordon thought he made a profit.

Alex after taking them didn't bother to wait here more and flew away on Pidgeot off to the mountain nearby for ground pokemons he need at the berry orchard.

So what pokemons did Alex get as reward and what will happen in the mountains? Stay tuned.
