Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 158

Pewter City2

Alex, who was back in the city, couldn't help but think back about his journey. After all, it had been only a few months since it started all here.

Not even 4 months ago, Alex was a weak guy who was robbed by feeble third-class criminals. However, now he is an Elite trainer with a high position in Team Rocket and has built his connections in the Alliance.

Alex looked at the city for a few seconds before saying, "Gardevoir, follow me."

Gardevoir nodded nervously and started following Alex.

...

After several minutes, Alex and Gardevoir were in front of an entrance to the Viridian Forest.

Although Alex couldn't remember exactly where the grave is, he remembered the section of the forest. So it would be relatively easy to find.

He also planned to see if that Gold Victreebel was still in the same section or somewhere else.

Although it had been several months, it was not impossible that Victreebel had stayed in this section if it finds enough food there regularly.

Alex got his other Pokémon out of their Pokéballs and started walking through the forest with the help of the card he still had from that time.

He wanted to go first to the area where he found the Victreebel and only then to Gardevoir's mother's grave. Alex had a feeling that after this visit, he wouldn't feel like doing anything else today.

Alex's group, which is ridiculously strong for this forest, was not attacked by 1 Pokémon.

Only a few aggressive or a group of arrogant Pokémon would attack Alex's group. But when they saw that Alex's group is so much stronger than they are and they are outnumbered too, they ran away without thinking twice.

After one and half-hour, Alex came to the section where he found the Gold Victreebel. But so far, he couldn't find anything that shows that it was nearby or hunting.

"Hmm, I'll look around for a few hours, and if I still can't find anything, I'll give up."

Crobat, who heard this, had a confused expression when he said, "Are you sure you want to do this? Sounds like a waste of time to me."

Alex showed an ironic expression when he said, "Oh, really good that I have such a powerful Pokémon that can look into the future. Why don't you start the fortune-telling business?"

Crobat, who heard it, showed an annoyed expression when he said, "Just because I said my opinion, you don't have to answer so sarcastically. That is really unnecessary."

Alex noticed that he was in a really bad mood today and that he was really a bit sensitive today. But couldn't do anything about it. He also had the feeling that Crobat was a bit more unfriendly than usual.

"Let's go."

...

Alex and his other Pokémon started to go through the section. But they didn't catch anything in the 3 hours, and only more Bronze Pokémon appeared that Alex didn't want to capture.

"Ok, that was really a waste of time."

Crobat snorted after glancing at Alex and said nothing more.

Although he was right this time, he knew that a Gold Pokémon was really worth it to search through this section again, even if the chances to find it is very unlikely. Even with the probability of only 10%, if there is a chance to get several million Pokédollars for only 3 hours of work, why not just do it.

Even for Alex, who has a high income, this is a large amount of money to obtain.

Alex knew that he couldn't drag this thing out any longer, so he and his Pokémon went to the section of Gardevoir's grave.

Gardevoir, who noticed that Alex, Crobat, and Scizor's emotions got worse and worse, couldn't help but get very nervous. She had a very uneasy feeling. She started fidgeting her fingers.

After 10 minutes, Alex came in front of a flat grassy area, where there was one beautiful stone. On this stone, there were words "A Good mother rests here," written.

Gardevoir, who saw this grave, knew immediately to whom this grave belongs. She immediately fell to her knees and started crying like a little girl.

She looked at Alex with a hopeful look. This look was "Please tell me it isn't what I think it is" and seemed almost desperate to Alex.

Alex, who already had teary eyes, couldn't stop tears coming out as he shook his head with a melancholy expression. That was the first time he cried in this world, and he hopes it will be the last time.

Gardevoir, who saw the sad face of Alex, started to cry even more and felt as her heart was gonna break.

Alex and his Pokémon all got very sad seeing her cry. They all immediately went around Gardevoir to hug and comfort her as best as they can.

After several minutes, Gardevoir stopped crying and just looked towards the grave with a heavy expression.

Alex, who saw this, couldn't help but ask, "Daughter, are you okay?"

Gardevoir didn't look at Alex and said sadly, "Father, isn't this weird? Even though I've never met my mother, I feel these painful emotions when I see her tombstone."

Alex sat down next to Gardevoir and gently said, "No, it's not... Although it will probably make you even more down, I think I should tell you the story about your mother. Do you want to hear it?"

Gardevoir, who heard that, nodded and said nothing.

Alex, who half hoped that she didn't ask, slowly said, "Huh, ok. I'll tell you."
