Bastiodon looked at Alex and asked curiously, "Father, did you figure out what it is?"
Alex, who looked into the innocent eyes of Bastiodon filled with intrigue, suddenly fell into a predicament.
After a few seconds of hesitation, he said, "It is... just as you had guessed, some kind of an armor that protects that part."
Bastiodon still felt confused as this didn't solve his doubts at all.
"But father, this armor is really slim, and it would prove useless in defending against any form of attack. This is the worst armor I've ever seen."
Alex wondered where Bastiodon got this understanding of armor to form an ȧssessment.
But he quickly remembered that Pokémon are born with the specific knowledge that they logically shouldn't possess, which is considered very normal in this world.
This knowledge appears to be very selective, and they learn it by instinct.
Pokémon, for example, don't know what the internet is or how it works.
But a Pokémon will suddenly learn a move for no reason or have a good understanding of it out of nowhere.
'Hmm... This should have something to do with the gods of this world. Though there is no way to actually prove it,' Alex thought curiously.
"Father... FATHER..." Bastiodon saw Alex lost in thought and said, "Are you still listening to me?"
"Yes, yes. I'm listening to you," Alex, interrupted from his thoughts, said, "It's just a poorly made armor, ok?"
At first, he wanted to say the words, 'This armor protects something other than his life.' But that would raise another question from Bastiodon, so he just chose to end this topic in a simple and direct manner.
Bastiodon was still confused, but he believed in his father.
In comparison, Crobat and Gardevoir showed rather skeptical looks. These two Pokémon didn't believe that Alex doesn't know what that thing is or what it is used for. And the basis for their suspicion was Alex's expressions.
Alex saw these looks but pretended to never notice them.
He had no interest in talking or even thinking further about this topic. Alex even thought that his Pokémon would be grateful if he didn't explain it to them.
Alex even wished that he himself didn't know what it was. But unfortunately, access to the internet from a young age has its price.
Lars, noticing the strange looks he was receiving from Alex and three of his Pokémon, asked, "What's up?"
Alex, instead of answering, said with a deadpan face, "Come on, let's go deeper into the forest, or you won't be able to gain any experience."
Lars thought that Alex doesn't like him and therefore reacted like that. He said nothing and followed Alex wordlessly.
Alex said while walking, "I will only follow you and not take part in your fights or give you any tips. I am here just for your safety, and in the best scenario, I shouldn't even have to come forward to help you. So try to act as if you are alone here."
Lars listened carefully to Alex and nodded in agreement.
Although Alex doesn't really like Lars, he wanted to maintain a positive relationship with Lisa. So he was willing to forget the past with Lars and help him as best he can.
Especially after seeing the respectful behavior of Lars, he felt that Lars would probably become Lisa's important subordinate in the future.
Since Lisa "trained" him so well that he follows her every command, there should be no reason why Lars can't become an Elite trainer—with his Gold Pokémon—in 6 months at the latest. Thus, becoming a very useful subordinate.
Alex and Lars went deep into the forest and started coming across Pokémon that were not weak.
Lars frequently ran into Pokémon that ranged from LV 30 to LV 35.
But even against a level 35 Pokémon, Lars could easily secure victory with the help of his Alakazam.
Alex watched his fights and realized that Lars really wasn't so bad as a trainer. Although he was probably only better than a regular trainer and not nearly as good as a Weak Gym Leader, it was good enough, in his opinion.
Lars's fighting style was very simplistic and crude but well thought out. Lars had no actual tactic, but he always used the best moves in response to his opponent's attack.
Although this seems very basic, it is not easy to do as you may think, especially in a fraction of a second. At least, ordinary trainers are not able to do it.
Together with the potential of his Pokémon and the support of Lisa, Lars's future wasn't so bad.
After 3 years or so, Lars will probably have the strength of a mid-Elite trainer. Even if he doesn't train a lot, Alakazam should be at least LV 50 by then.
If you consider that most Elite trainers never manage to train a Pokémon to LV 50, Lars's future starts looking colorful.
Of course, that is if he can survive that long.
From the Elite rank, Pokémon need experience in the wild from time to time, or you would find a giant drop in their leveling up speed. The path to achieving such strength is a risky one.
After 3 hours, nothing dangerous happened, and Alex had the feeling that Lisa had wasted her favors.
Suddenly Alex saw a level 39 Pokémon that Lars had discovered and was instantly on his toes.
But to his surprise, Lars teleported away as soon as he saw this Pokémon.
'Well... at least he knows his limits,' Alex thought as he asked Gardevoir to teleport to the location that he and Lars had chosen beforehand.
Alex and his Pokémon arrived at the place and saw Lars waiting vigilantly for them.
after seeing Alex he started walking into the forest again..
Alex, who saw this calm demeanor from Lars, was a bit impressed.
He didn't know what Lisa did with Lars, but he had definitely become a satisfactory trainer.
Lars and Alex stayed in the forest for another 5 hours without Alex having to intervene.
When watching Lars behave, he also understood when Lars would choose to catch a Pokémon and when he wouldn't.
As long as Lars estimated that the level of the defeated Pokémon is 30 or higher, he caught it.
In the end, Lars caught 19 Pokémon, from which only 3 were Silver: 2 Shallow Silver and 1 Silver.
The rest were Bronze.
The talent machine is not cheap, especially if you want to test a Pokémon again, which has triggered the chance of error.
500 X 19 = 9,500
From the 19 Pokémon, if 2 were to repeat the test, then that would be additional 10,000 Pokédollars.
19,500 is not a small sum. But Lars was lucky to catch 3 Silver Pokémon, whom he can sell and recover more than enough.
These Silver Pokémon should be able to sell out for at least 120,000 Pokedollars, estimated Alex as he noted the Pokémon species of these three Silver Pokémon.
And for Bronze Pokémon, he can also get a little money, even if Bronze Pokémon are very unpopular at a relatively high level and without any evolutions left.
But he should still get at least 6,000 Pokédollars as long as he finds a buyer.
Alex, who left this forest with Lars, couldn't help but feel that he had wasting quite a lot of his time.
But Lisa had done a lot for him, and if this annoying mission balances out all the favors, it was worth it.
