Chapter 154: 154

Alex, who heard this, showed a thoughtful expression. "What do I want? Even I am not clear about that. I just wanted to see if I can find something interesting here. How should I know that I will meet such a skeptical trainer?"

After a few seconds, Alex said seriously, "To be honest, it's just a coincidence. There aren't many Elite trainers, so I wanted to see who was in this forest."

He paused for a moment, and with a smile, he said, "By the way, are you a trainer from Unova?"

"Well, Yes, but no. Now that I have answered your question, let me ask one question to you too. Are you a well-known trainer? Reaching Elite strength at your age is really no small matter."

Alex noticed that Adam was really smart. He immediately noticed that Alex wanted to have information from him and immediately tried to get some information himself. Above all, he tried to trade useless information for half useful.

"Yes, I have a bit of fame in Kanto. Although I'm not that famous." Alex had no problem telling him that. Especially since one can find out quickly if one does a little research. He knew Alex's name and also saw all of his Pokémon, making things easy for him.

"Ok, makes sense. Otherwise, it would be strange. Though not that I care. I don't have time to talk to you here in the wilderness."

After he said that, he started walking away with his Pokémon without saying another word.

Alex, who saw Adam just rudely left, showed no emotion as he watched Adam slowly walk away.

Although he wanted to talk to Adam a bit, it doesn't make sense to force it. Especially because Alex does not know the full strength of Adam. Even if Adam's 4th Pokémon isn't a powerful Elite Pokémon, his two Elite Pokémon are enough to have at least a 50/50 chance of beating Alex's entire team. (50/50 without Alex's tactics)

Alex looked at his Pokémon and said, "Okay, let's move on. We have to reach Vermilion City today so that we don't miss the ship tomorrow morning."

Combusken had a slightly confused expression when she asked, "Father, why did you talk to this man?"

Alex, who heard this, put a finger on his lips and said mysteriously, "That is a secret."

Combusken pouted and said as if she had been wronged, "Ehhh, why?? I want to know! I want to know!"

Scizor showed a joking expression as he said, "Little sister, don't worry. I'm sure the Leader himself doesn't know this answer and just wants to appear mysterious."

Eevee, who is usually very protective of Alex, looked very serious when she said, "Brother, that's not very nice. I'm sure our leader has a reason to answer like that."

Gardevoir, hearing such "strong" words from Eevee for the first time, showed a slight playful smirk as she said, "Hehe! Sister Eevee, this is the first time you have said such unfriendly words to one of us."

Eevee, who overheard this, immediately made an apologetic expression when she looked in the direction of Scizor and said, "I'm sorry, brother Scizor if my statement offended you. It wasn't my intention."

Scizor, who heard this honest apology, first showed a confused face and then said indifferently, "No, your statement wasn't really offensive. Little sister Gardevoir just wanted to tease you a bit."

Eevee showed a slightly confused expression when she heard the words. But when she heard the slight laugh from Gardevoir, she understood immediately.

Alex expected Eevee to get angry, but he was in for a surprise. Eevee showed a relieved expression, understanding that she hadn't insulted a family member and even made a slightly joyful expression.

"Is that really the same Eevee that almost kills her opponent several times while fighting?"

Gardevoir stopped giggling and went to Eevee and said with a gentle face, "Sister Eevee, you worry too much. Nobody in the family has a problem if you say your opinion. Nobody will hate you. Believe me."

Eevee, who heard these words, showed that she understood with a bright smile and multiple nods.

Gardevoir then said sincerely, "Ah! I also hope that you can forgive me for making fun of you. It was not my intention to make it uncomfortable for you."

Alex, Crobat, and Scizor, who heard this talk looked at each other and suppressed the feeling of giving a facepalm to themselves.

All three had similar thoughts: "Why do you tell Eevee that she doesn't have to worry about insulting other family members when you're worrying yourself.

Combusken, overhearing this talk, gave a bored expression as she said aloud, "Hey, I still want to know what the secret is!"

Alex, who heard this, said with a playful smile, "If you pass my test at the next training session, I will tell you."

Combusken showed an excited expression as she said aloud, "Really?? I will try really hard at the next training session and reveal this secret."

Alex's other Pokémon, who heard this innocent answer of Combusken, couldn't help but smile.

Even cold Pokémon like Crobat and Scizor gave a small smile for a moment.

Alex and his Pokémon started walking through the forest after finishing this conversation.
