Snippet #2689252

From high up above everything looked beautiful, even the empty ocean seemed pristine and pure. Powerful in its majesty. Dark green wings, small but powerful, beat endlessly in Alex's ears. Their owner flew on and on with a smile on his face, letting out a joyous roar as he soared among the clouds. Lancer was strong and proud, effortlessly able to carry passengers across long distances. Despitethe speed at which the large dragon was flying Alex still wished Lancer could be faster. Some of the strongest trainers in the world were goin gto be on that island and Alex knew he had what it took to beat them all. Behind Alex sat a yellow figure clinging onto the boy for dear life, spoons desperately clasped between Alex's chest and Thomas' own hands.

Though the sounds of the rushing air and beating wings were ringing fiercely through Alex's ears a voice came into his mind clear as day, and as familer as a lifelong companions should be."Perhaps we should have taken a boat instead? Or even a plane Alex? Lancer's having to much fun with this." As if on cue the powerful dragon let out what almost sounded like a laugh as it increased its speed, hurtling like a bullet towards the island not so far into the distance. "Boats and planes are too slow. And besides you didn't have to ride with me fraidy Meowth. You could have just went in your pokeball." Any onlooker would have no idea a conversation was taking place. Just one of the many reasons Alex valued his Alakasam's presence. Thomas shrugged and sighed slightly at his trainers impatience. This was supposed to be a vacation but the Pokemon was afraid that Alex didn't see it as a vacation at all.

AS they flew Alex noticed a boat already docked at the island. He shrugged slightly. he had hoped to be the first one there but evidently someone beat him to it. Alex patted his Dragonite slightly on the back signalling him to speed up if at all possible. Once they made it to the destination they flew over the island somewhat searching for the mansion. "There Lancer. Pull down there please."

The dragon landed perfectly and elegantly earning an affectionate rub and a smile from his trainer before being sent back into his ball. It was then that Alex noticed two others standing at the door of the mansion. Alex could only hope they were strong as he walked toward them, Thomas not far behind him. Once reaching the mansion he and Thomas stood behind the two other guests giving them a polite nod and wave, while keeping on hi usual neutral, though steely expression. When he spoke it was in his even more neutrally bored tone. "Hello there." And that of course much to Thomas' chagrin was all Alex had felt the need to say, the boy not being nearly as accustomed to talking to people as he was with his pokemon.
