Alex went to Scizor and patted his shoulder as he proudly said, "Good job."
Scizor looked at Alex and replied, "Not really. I've had tougher fights."
Alex looked at Scizor—looking like he wasn't satisfied with this fight—and shook his head with a soft smile.
He was very happy with Scizor's self-critical words—showing no sign of satisfaction.
The hunger to get stronger quickly can make a substantial difference in one's progress.
A Pokémon that trains with his everything will gain results much faster than a Pokémon that does it half-heartedly.
Alex has read that the temperant of a Pokémon is an extrely important factor and can make the training efficiency higher or lower.
Brock walked in front of Alex after he had cured his Pokémon and handed him an A-rank [Boulder Badge] without a word.
Then without saying another word, he turned back and started walking away with his stoic face—pretending as if Alex was never there.
Alex didn't care about Brock's attitude as he ignored him and instead examined the [Boulder Badge] he had just received.
It looked almost exactly the sa as in the gas. But when Alex looked at the backside of it, he found a barcode of so kind.
Although this was nothing like the barcodes in Alex's world, Alex imdiately deduced that it probably had a similar function.
Alex put the [Boulder Badge] in a small case specially made to keep the Badges and walked out of the Gym.
After he got this Badge, he saw no reason to stay in this Gym.
He made his way to the hotel where he and his Pokémon would get sothing to eat and then think about their next plan.
He got bored while walking and sent a ssage to Steven & Maria.
He told them that he had just fought Brock and that they could both watch his match online.
Although it was also broadcasted on TV, it was a live broadcast, and therefore, you could no longer watch the match on it anymore.
Fortunately, the Alliance uploads every Gym battle for A & S-rank Badges on their website, so Steven and Maria could easily watch the match whenever they wished to.
He also thought about writing a ssage to Daniel and Elise but felt that it wouldn't be a boss like behaviour. Especially when you consider that he is the boss of a group that is part of an underworld organization.
...
30 minutes later, Alex was eating his al with his Pokémon in the hotel when he received a ssage.
Steven wrote:
Alex wrote the whole story and explained why he has such a bad relationship with Brock.
Steven smiled as he sent the ssage:
Alex thought for a mont and couldn't rember where anyone had praised his looks.
He looked at the ssage and felt that this surprisingly cut deeply.
Alex wasn't actually angry or anything. But it is hard to figure out emotion from only the text.
Steven was not sure whether this was a bit exaggerated or had actually hurt his feelings.
In reply, he only got this.

[EN]: It's okay, Steven. As long as you say "no homo", you are safe.
