Pokemon - A Mystical Journey 125 Chapter 7- The Village Head

Hearing that the man was the village head Alex looked at the with extra attention. After all he did take down or to say clearly killed his son. Although that guy doesn't know yet it might cause him problem later if he is not careful.

The village head was someone in his late thirties and wore dull brown clothes. He wasn't anymore impressive than the other villagers except for his temperament.

Although he seemed nothing impressive to Alex, he did have a sense of strong to himself which was felt by Alex. It was similar to an intermediate level trainer as he faced in the team shadow and in different mercenaries who tried to sneak into his farm.

But for the villagers he was someone very powerful and worth being respected.

The beautiful women, Jenny than placed the tray on the store table and said to her grandma," here are the herbs and potion grandma."

Alex looked at the multiple herbs and potion on the tray and then inquired ," how much do they cost?"

" For healing herbs it is 100 pokedollars, paralysis herb , awaken herb are 50 pokedollars , poison cure is 150 pokedollars and for burn and frost heal it would be 120 pokedollars.

So total it would be 20 healing herbs while ten of each from status herb, it would be a total of 6900 pokedollars and adding ten percent of the village tax it would be 7590 pokedollars."

This was much cheaper than the potion sold in the town since they are one time use while these can be used multiple times and their effective doesn't decrease until a long time has pa.s.sed.

Yet the village tax puzzled him. He never heard of it in any previous village though he didn't buy anything from them except in Pokemon center where he got discount because of his status.

So he inquired," What is this village tax?"

Jenny was puzzled since the young boy didn't know about this tax then thought he was probably young and didn't know much about the world. And also thought how naive the people or to be exact children of town were to not know about their surrounding world.

The village nearby explained," Village tax is a tax cast by the village on selling goods to the outside people. This is used for our development so league doesn't involve itself in these matter unless we have a skyhigh tax rate.

"Is there a problem in paying the above amount." Jenny asked fearing he might not have enough money on him and he is just stalling and asking about tax to not pay or buy and leave here empty handed.

" No problem. Just this is the first time I buy something in a village so I was curious. That's all." He replied calmly and paid her for the goods and placed them in his backpack.

" So you are a rookie trainer?" The village head asked whole eyeing the Pikachu on his shoulder.

" Yeah. I just became a trainer six months ago." He replied back not caring about him looking at him.

Hearing it he said proudly," then listen to my advice young man. The forest outside the town and villages are very dangerous so be careful not to anger the wild pokemons out there in your over confidence. Over confidence will only be your peril.

I have a son who is few years older than you. He has a powerful Graveller. If you have any problem you can ask him from help or advice if you meet him "

All the surrounding people smiled at seeing how the village head gave such a good advice to the new trainer whole Alex and Pikachu rolled their eyes( Alex did it mentally).

Alex was better than the older man, Pikachu knew it as the senses of Pokemon were much sensitive than people. So him advising Alex seemed like he insulted Alex so he barred his tiny fangs at the village head.

His actions shocked all except Alex but Alex calmed him down and quickly said," I am sorry. He is still young and don't like others saying he is weak or things like that.

Thank you for your kind advice village head." He didn't want to anger others over this small matter and it is a good advice for rookie trainers too.

Also he did kill his son or a person who proclaimed to be his son. Anyway he is gonna leave the village next morning so he didn't want to be bothered by anyone

After that he left the village under the eyes of the other villagers who grumbled,

" Young ones nowadays are so rude. They don't know how to respect the elders."

" Yeah. Look at him he left without properly apologizing for his pokemons behaviour."

" People don't know how to control their pokemons and just catch whatever they see."

Although Alex wasn't able to hear any of these Pikachu heard all and he once again got angry. Alex seeing his expression had an idea of what people back there were talking about behind his back.

" Don't be so affected by others opinions. We will have many situations like this in the future. Until and unless they really say to our face and insult our strength or our family, we shouldn't bother with it. You understand this, Pikachu." Alex said to Pikachu.

" And don't worry, if the village head is similar to his son then you may be able to get back at him in the future. After all he won't let that matter rest. " This calmed Pikachu more and he was really looking forward to putting this arrogant village head in place.

The duo pokemon and trainer reached the pokemon center and after greeting and having dinner in the cafeteria he went back to his room and fed his pokemons there.

There at his room he also told his newly arrived pokemons about the situation with the ghost pokemons parents. And what he planned to do next day after leaving this village.

He after that polished the scales or fur of his Pokemons helping them clean up and ma.s.sage their body at different points and then left to sleep at the night.

Next morning he prepared for leaving. He went to nurse joy and greeted her who asked," Alex are you leaving today?"

" yes nurse joy. I have to get the jubilee port in time and also train my Pokemon for that so I have to leave now or I can't get the gym badges on the way.

Thank you for taking care of my pokemons." He said her.

"You don't have to thank me. It is my job. I am happy to see how you take care of your pokemons. I wish more trainers would be like that " she sighed in the end.

After that he took his still injured pokemons back and headed for the nearest town, the sky town while in the way he would calm the ghost pokemons.

Alex met the father of the possible rouge he encountered and killed. Next will be how he will calm the ghosts? Will the father know the final destiny of his son? Stay tuned
