Steven took a Pokéball out of his Pokébelt and threw it on the floor.

A little Aron appears in front of the Pokéball. ​​

Steven smiled and said, "This cute Pokémon is just two weeks old. It should be a good match for your Shieldon."

Alex looked at the info from the Aron.

------------------------------------------------

Gender: Male

Potential: gold

Move: Harden, Tackle, Mud-Slap, Headbutt, Metal Claw, Rock Tomb,

(Innate Talent) Rock Polish, (Innate Talent) Sandstorm, (Innate Talent) Protect

-------------------------------------------------

Alex, who saw Aron's potential, couldn't help but become jealous. Gold potential with two further evolves that make it relativ easy to bring this Pokémon to the Shallow Diamond.

He had the feeling that Steven would have 5 Shallow Diamond(maybe) and 1 Diamond Pokémon as a team in the future. Alex, who realized this, wasn't surprised that Steven would become the champion of Hoenn with this team full of monsters.

Shieldon and Aron got ready for the match.

"3.2,1, go"

Alex and Steven give their first order at the same time.

"Shieldon use Taunt"

"Aron use Rock Polish"

Both Pokémon tried to use their move as quickly as possible. Aron managed to use Rock Polish before Shieldon managed to use Taunt, so that had managed to use Rock Polish once.

Alex who had already expected it said "Shieldon use Rock Polish twice"

Steven saw that he had no choice but to attack Shieldon and said "Aron use Metal Claw 2 times"

Shieldon, who uses Rock Polish now, had no choice but to refuel these attacks. Fortunately, Shieldon's defense is good enough that he was hardly harmed from this attack.

Alex saw that Shieldon was done with the move Rock Polish and said with a smile "Shieldon keep your distance from Aron and use Flamethrower"

Shieldon who was now much faster than Aron could now always keep a distance between the two.

Steven, who saw that Aron could no longer fight in hand-to-hand combat, said "Aron use mud slap"

Shieldon and Aron traded attacks, both sustaining damage. Aron suffered more damage than Shieldon in the exchange because of his Sp. Def was much worse than Shieldon's.

The problem was that Shieldon had a lot of dust on his face which made it a bit difficult for him to hit Aron.

Alex knew that it was not optimal but had no other attack possibilities so that he only let Shieldon continue to use flamethrowers. He hoped that he wasn't so unlucky that Shieldon often missed his attack,

After 3 minutes of intense fighting, the fight was over. Shieldon could hit and defeat Aron with his most attacks. Shieldon won, but he suffered a lot of damage and probably couldn't hold out much longer.

Steven brought out a Max Potion and healed his Aron.

Aron woke up immediately with the help of this excellent healing. He looked at Steven with a sad expression as he thought of his defeat.

Steven who saw this said with a smile "Aron don't be sad that you lost, everyone loses. As long as you are stronger next time than now, I don't think you will lose again. I'm proud of you for how brave you fought. "

Alex looked at this and thought "hmm he looks like a friendly person. At least his Pokémon. Though he's really ridiculously rich. He uses a Max Potion directly to heal his Pokémon if a Super Potion would have been enough for those injuries. Waste 5000 Pokédollars just like that. Even I feel pain for such wasting. "

Steven, who has perked up his Pokémon, goes with his hand out towards Alex. He said, "Congratulations on winning. Your Shieldon is really strong. Ohh I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Steven Stone, nice to meet you."

Alex shook Steven's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you Steven, but the victory had more to do with luck than with ability. My name is Alex, I'm happy to meet you."

Steven smiled at Alex and said "Alex, you don't have to be humble, your Shieldon deserved victory. Hmm, do you happen to be going in the direction of Cerulean City? Maybe we can go there together and talk about Pokémon training."

Alex who was waiting for such a chance nodded with a smile.

The two trainers and Steven Bodyguard went through the main tunnel.

Alex and Steven talked about all the possible training methods they can use to train their Pokémon. Alex learned a lot from sharing with Steven.

Steven also showed Alex which stones he found in this cave.

Alex looked especially at the two stones that look very familiar to him. For Alex, these two stones look similar to the Dome fossil and Helix fossil of the games. he is 90% sure that these two stones are these fossils.

He said to Steven with a smile "Steven, I know a bit about stones to be able to tell you that these two stone fossils of two extinct Pokémon. To be precise, they are the Pokémon, Omanyte, and Kabuto"

There are two types of fossil Pokemon in this world.

1. the normal fossil pokemon that is born in this world.

2. the fossil pokemon that has been revived from a fossil

The second type of Fossil Pokemon has the highest potential and strength but is hard to come by.

The trainers who own such a fossil Pokemon can be counted on one hand.

While the reason why the second type of Fossil Pokemon is much stronger is not clear, it is undeniable that they are better versions of Fossil Pokemon. Alex heard that none of the resurrected fossil Pokemon has any less talent than S talent(gold). Although this is just a rumor, it is a temptation for Pokemon trainers.

The problem is that not only do you have a complete fossil of this Pokemon but you also have to build a specially machine to revive it.

Alex had no problem giving Steven this valuable information because he can judge Steven's character well. He thinks Steven would make up for this information well. than buying it for the fossils from steven and then using it himself was not a good option for Alex. He can't really do much with these fossils, unlike Steven who had enough money to develop a machine to revive these Pokémon. Alex thinks it's better for him that steven owes him what. Such a favor can be very useful to him.

Steven had a surprised expression on his face when he heard this, he said with a smile "Really, the Pokémon Omanyte and Kabuto?. If that's really the case, these stones are priceless. i heard that a man once developed a machine with which one can bring these fossils to life. I've been looking for such fossils for a long time."

The bodyguard who overheard this conversation said coldly "young master, are you sure this trainer is telling you the truth".

Steven stopped smiling for a moment and said "Alex, how sure are you about yourself."

Alex looked at Steven briefly and said "99% sure. but I can understand why you don't believe me, but that's the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ignore what I said"

Steven heard Alex's words and started smiling again. He said, "Alex, of course, I believe you. I just wanted to make sure you're sure."

Alex didn't think so, but he still smiled softly.
