Chapter 466
Alex looked at the TV for a moment before speaking in a slightly satirical tone.
"Oh wow… it's honestly impressive how friendly someone can appear on television. The program must have carefully selected only the very best moments."
Maria knew very well what Brock's real personality could be like, so she understood what Alex meant immediately. But when she heard this comment from a person like Alex, she slowly turned her head toward him and gave him a very specific look.
It was the kind of look that clearly said: "Aren't you exactly the same? Acting all friendly and charming on TV while being ridiculously arrogant the rest of the time?"
Alex needed a few seconds before the meaning behind her expression fully registered in his mind.
When it finally did, he paused.
Then he laughed. "Okay, okay," he admitted shamelessly. "Maybe that's a little hypocritical of me. But let's be honest—what human isn't at least a little bit of a hypocrite?"
Maria didn't bother answering. She simply ignored him and turned her attention back to the television, continuing to watch the program as if his excuse hadn't been worth acknowledging.
Alex looked at Maria and said, "Forget the TV for a moment. I actually wanted to show you something today. Go call all your Pokémon and meet me in the large training room."
