Deep within Meteor Falls, is a newly-made set of caverns that Alec and his pokemon dug up; making it his secret base. There are three rooms in total, however, only one of them contains the real flag, while the other two contain nothing but fake flags. The room with the real flag will have a desk at the far end of the room with an old Charizard, Dragonite, and Piplup plushie sitting on it. There is also some small tapestry hanging on the walls and ceiling with his dragon clan’s insignia on them. The flag you desire will be laying under one of the plushies.

Despite the decorations, what should hopefully catch your eye first is the Base’s Secret Guardian - A Magnezone hovering over a cluster of MAGNET BOMBS floating in place, as well as an ELECTRIC TERRAIN. The cackling terrain of electricity is harmless, however, the clusters of Magnet Bombs all throughout the room aren’t. Touching just one will set them all off at once. Can you handle the constant cackling of electricity at your feet while trying to move around the room safely? Let’s find out!

Alec continued to stand there, not saying anything while wearing his slight smirk still as Clamps the Scizor continued building up speed. However, once it was finished. It made a swift beeline at Louise's own Scizor, using QUICK ATTACK; bringing its claw to the other Scizor's midsection. With Clamp's TECHNICIAN ability, the power behind its quick attack would hit a lot harder. What's more is that, with its recent boost in speed from earlier, it was much faster the moment it used quick attack.

That's how Alec had trained Clamps to fight. Instead of relying on extremely powerful attacks, he taught it to use its speed in tandem with it's its own technician skills. In all honesty, Alec believed that it made Clamps stronger this way. Alec was curious though as to how Louise trained her own Scizor, noticing that it was using LASER FOCUS.

"No, wait-" Alec had tried to stop Aaron, however, it was too late. The Dhelmise's POWER WHIP Had landed a rather concussive blow, as well as making a decently-sized indent on the Sharpedo's skin. Attacking the Sharpedo wasn't necessarily the problem though. As soon as Altagracia picked up the tooth and showed them, he knew immediately where they were. This area was more than likely their feeding ground, which meant that their nest was relatively close by. A good five minutes after the audible thud from the Dhelmise's attack sounded, a school of Sharpedo, as well as another pokemon with silverish skin and purplish fins amassed together, coming from back the way they came.

Alec quickly helped Aaron back down to the ground and said, "Run!" Alec shouted, running into one of the passageways, and deciding to take his chances. Hopefully, the other three would follow suit right behind him. Alec's feet, as well as the hoard of Sharpedo and the other pokemon that Alec didn't recognize. Nat the Sceptile followed behind Alec and the others, and by the time that they had reached over halfway, Nat immediately turned around, slamming its two hands onto the ground, forming a massive FRENZY PLANT Blockade. The Massive Vines that quickly sprouted out from the ground, stretched up toward the Ceiling, while also extending into a total of four additional layers, crushing some of the sharpedo and veluza to death, while halting the remaining fish that was after them.

---

TL;DR:
-Alec attempted to try and stop Aaron and his Dhelmise, but failed.
-The School of Sharpedo & Veluza comes out of hiding, forcing Alec and the others to flee.
-Nat uses Frenzy Plant to block off the path from the school of Sharpedo and Veluza.

Alec and his team had already made their introductions prior to entering the portal near Granite Cave. Luckily, he didn’t give too much information about himself. He only gave what was necessary to his team as a means to gain their trust and respect. When seeing Aaron and Elise, Alec was worried that the two of them wouldn’t be cut out for the job, but if they were chosen, then perhaps the League felt that they were ready for this sort of expedition into the unknown. Hell, Alec even had doubts that he wouldn’t be cut out for the job, despite the pokemon he brought being powerful.

As they walked through the Portal, Alec made a mental note to do everything in his power to make sure that everyone with him would be safe from harm. He was no stranger to putting his life on the line to protect something. The deep scar on his left shoulder was a testament to that. “Understood,” Was all he needed to say to Altagracia. From the looks of it, she was a scientist - perhaps a professor. As for her accent, it was definitely native to the Paldean Region.

Alec reached outward with his hand once from in front of him, from behind him, and from his sides, trying to determine whether or not there was enough space for him to bring out a pokemon. Once he had confirmed that there was enough room for his team and pokemon for him to call out, he tossed a Pokeball, believing that there would be enough room for his Sceptile, Nat to come out, while also pulling out a flashlight that he kept in his bag. Once the light flashed in front of him, revealing Nat's leafy body, he was relieved to know that its tail wasn’t taking up too much space. Plus, with how dark it was, he couldn’t see a damn thing beforehand.

“It would have been wishful thinking that we’d be able to find a place to make a camp right away,” Alec muttered loudly enough for his team to hear, not necessarily complaining, but not all too thrilled about where the portal took them either. As Alec continued talking with his team, Nat the sceptile scanned the area, using DETECT. Even though his master couldn’t see in this darkness, Nat was; deciding to try and spot any threats in the area, however, they seemed to be safe … at least for the time being anyway.

Notes: Alec brings out Sceptile and turns on his flashlight. Sceptile also uses Detect to try and spot any sort of threat, yet finds none at the moment.

The dragon tamer didn't need to go into any more details explaining how bad it was. If he was being honest, he didn't even know why he was targeted in such a way. Maybe they targeted him out of boredom or whatever nonsensical reason it actually was. What mattered though was that he was alive... although, part of Alec admitted that leaving his old life behind wasn't considered to be 'living' at all. He hated having to leave it all behind just so that he could live. It was disgraceful.

Honestly, he didn't know how Accepting those higher within the League would be, knowing that he was back. However, part of him just didn't give a rattata's ass about that. Shortly after Alec had released his Togekiss, Alexei did the same thing, calling out a Crobat. "Figures he'd bring out a pokemon that had a type advantage ... Although, Type Advantages can only get someone so far," Alec thought, still holding his slight smirk not worried in the slightest bit. In fact, he had already known what his Xena's first tactic would be. Alexei told Alec that he and Xena were able to have the first bout, which had Alec wasted no time in making his move.

"Sounds good to me. Xena, Safeguard!" Alec had said to the female Togekiss, prompting her to cast a mystical veil that had gently blanketed all of her body, protecting her from all kinds of status ailments, which was something that Crobats notoriously used to weaken their prey. However, Alec was certain that Alexei's crobat was far more experienced than just poisoning its opponent.

Notes: 1. Xena the Togekiss used Safeguard! It's now protected from all status ailments for 5 turns! (0/5)

Alec had a feeling she'd choose his Scizor, Clamps. Kaminari was disappointed that he didn't get chosen, however, Alec wanted her to have the choice since it was she who offered to battle. He returned Kaminari and Nat to their respective pokeballs before getting into position. Clamps was fine where he was, given that he had a good distance between him and Louise's own Scizor, not that the distance would be a challenge for him anyway. "Alright, let's get this show on the road," Alec had said, prompting his Scizor to start the first move. Clamps used its speed, quickly zooming from one place to another across the battlefield using AGILITY, without even taking an actual command from Alec, while keeping an eye on the other.

That's how most of his own pokemon were trained anyway. Of course, it took a while for his pokemon to get the hang of it, however, he managed to do it. When he had the chance, he should thank kyle lopez for that whenever he had the chance.

After giving his Espeon its attention, Alec's attention once again shifted to Josh, recalling his Hydreigon for a Dragonite. "Time to see what Josh and his pokemon were capable of," Alec thought to himself, watching intently without saying a single word, failing to notice the Malamar that was swimming in the river nearby. Tiamat's first attack was a for sure way to keep the battle in their favor. However, when the Dragonite tried attacking in the same exact manner, the Oshawott RETALIATED, which was something the avid dragon tamer knew about. After living here a while, you start to realize how the wild pokemon around here fight, and most of them, if not all of them fight rather nastily.

To the wild pokemon, it was a way for them to survive, otherwise, they'd get eaten. It was as simple as that. The only way for them to not have that happen was to get stronger, which was what the Oshawott had proven. Despite this though, it was defeated, as well as captured by Josh. All things considered, Alec was somewhat impressed. It reminded him of when he was a gym leader. However, it was apparent to Alec that Josh was more than likely only a couple of years younger than he was. Alec was so focused on the battle he witnessed that he didn't answer right away when Josh mentioned that his Dragonair was a gift from his family - something that was actually quite common. His clan was known for giving newborn dratini's away to trainers because Dratini were very easy to raise. Chances are, it evolved while under Josh's care.

"I don't know about racing, but a regular battle is more up my alley," Alec admitted, not having any shame in that. In fact, that was what his own gym was centralized around back in the day. It was to test and see if people were ready to give it their all, even when the odds were stacked against them. There were a good few who did manage to do just that and beat him. Sure, Alec wasn't strategic like FERNANDO SILPH , but he was still able to hold onto his own in a battle, even without a strategy. Although nowadays, Alec has managed to be a little more strategic with his battles. The sandstorm strategy he used against Andrea Vaneau had proved it, despite it being rather simple. Alec had walked over to his bag, pulled a Pokeball from it, then proceeded to toss it out in front of him. as soon as the Pokeball opened, having his own Dragonite materialize out from it.

As soon as Veta saw the Dragonair and Josh, instantly greeted them without the notion of weariness. "Veta here is one of my strongest dragons. Sure, she may seem nice, and she is, but when it comes to a battle, she can be persistent," Alec admitted with a smirk.
