Pokemon - A Mystical Journey 61 Final Round End

Alex said softly," Start the Rain"

Slowking used rain dance and thick clouds began to acc.u.mulate around the roof of the gym even the Hydra was raised into the air.

If Giovanni didn't give Alex the time for attack, he would have lost easily.

But he himself was curious. Nidoqueen too also wanted to see the ultimate attack.

Then the rain clouds thickened and suddenly the rain water droplets slowly fell.

" So what is your attack?" Giovanni asked

" It will begin soon." Alex then told Slowking

," Begin the slaughter rain."

Slowking used his psychic powers to transform the shape of drop and into needle form.

As he did that, the danger scenes of Giovanni, Agatha, Surge, Gengar and Nidoqueen went haywire and Giovanni shouted ," Go all out."

Nidoqueen in complete agreement with it's trainer, summoned her entire power and s.h.i.+elded herself with an armour of ground and completely surrounded herself.

Gengar on Agatha's instructions surrounded themselves with a barrier for protection in case the attack is misguided.

Soon the sharp water droplets fell on the bahamut armour and cut through a bit.

Soon rain starts falling and everywhere the rain fell the ground had a hole. The ground was littered with hundreds of hole while the armour which suffered the attack was also filled with holes.

But these holes show signs of repair. Nidoqueen continuously supplied it with Earth power to strengthen it's power and defense.

But it didn't mean Nidoqueen was unscathed. Some drops have bypa.s.sed the defense and reached it. Now many parts of the body was bleeding.

It stood strong only because of it's physical powers and endurance.

The rain continued to fall and damage the armour but the speed of recovery was slowing over time and it increased difficulty for Nidoqueen as it was getting more and more tired and was injured.

It breathe heavily as soon as it felt that that he can't last long and may even lose...

But,

fate seemed to favour Giovanni and suddenly Slowking fell down face first and fainted.

This comical ending amazed Lorelei and Lance but Alex, Giovanni and other elder trainers knew the reason.

The referee declared," Slowking is unable to battle. The Challenger's a the three pokemons are unable to battle. The winner is The Viridian Gym leader, Giovanni."

Alex just recalled Slowking and told it," It seemed we still lacked the power. This battle showed me our defects. Let's train harder next time" and pocketed it.

But none of the attention was on Alex, all the people were looking at the chaotic battlefield. The entire field was littered with fist size holes and when the Earth armour crumbled down the bloodied image of Nidoqueen was revealed.

It too was in it's last leg and would have been the one to lose had it not endured.

Giovanni then too recalled his Nidoqueen and thought,' Truly someone worthy of the attention of the old monsters. This attack was really devastating.' And he shuddered

This image was shocking to Lance and Lorelei but the final outcome of the attack truly terrified the adult trainers.

They looked at Alex as if they saw a monster.

Surge just grumbled," I thought that people joked when they said a single attack can completely demolish a town.

A pokemon could demolish the town but a single attack. I thought it was just exaggerating.

But this brat,..no no this man,Alex showed how terrifying the Pokemons are really capable of. "

Agatha by her side nodded," Indeed. Alex just before the attack reminded me of Samuel, Charles, Red and Blue. He sure will be a monster "

Surge thought her earlier comparison was just a boast but now he felt she was just underestimated him.

" You know, you told me he would reach champion level in a decades. I think he would reach it much earlier." Surge gave his judgement. " I hope the league pay special attention to him." and he looks at Agatha

Agatha just rolled her eyes at this statement and said," Do you think I am a fool not to know that true prospects of this scale of attack. This attack is a city destroyer.

And you don't know just at what level of attention the league pays on him since he was discovered.

Do you know that his Charmeleon is Samuel's Charizard son. Now do you think we won't pay any attention to him."

Surge eyes bulged and said," His pokemons' descendants. It really is something. Though how did it reach him."

" Blaine gave it to him and told Samuel to support him." Agatha said plainly

Now Surge looked at Alex with a completely different gaze and thought silently,' He has support of two of the Elite fours and. Prof. Oak even before this. If it is revealed then even President Charles will reach out to him.'

Agatha revealed this news to shock all the people who may Target him or reach out to gain benefits of him. This news will probably pull most people down while also give him enough time to grow up.

Lance and Lorelei were numbed by the scene to have any thoughts and then Giovanni did something surprising.

He threw something at Alex who under reflex caught it and looked at Agatha.

This puzzled the young ones but the elders knew what it was and why it was rewarded so they nodded in agreement to this decision.

When he looked down to see what he threw and saw a s.h.i.+ny thing in the shape of a leaf with it's upper part coloured deep green and lower with light green.

It was the....

The Viridian gym badge.

Why did Giovanni give Alex the badge? Stay tuned
