Chapter 150: chapter 31 : Traps
Once again, there was absolute silence in the room.
There are more than a hundred different Pokemons commonly found in Kanto alone. And this area of Kanto is closer to johto, so there are some johto Pokemon found here too.
There might be some Pokemon who have settled in here from other regions after they migrated freely or freed themselves from some poachers and settled himself here.
So it is rare for someone to know all of them completely. Not even Professor Oak the most renowned Pokemon researcher in the Pokemon world can remember all their details completely.
" So that plan goes down the drain."said Annie dully.
" Since, it might not be effective we can still try it on a lot scale. For some common Pokemons in the riot, we can still spread their weakness so pressure can be reduced on our troops.
The common ones like the Rattata line, Spearow line, Pidgey line, Geodude line,oddish line , Diglett and dugtrio along with butterfree, Beedrill and spinarak line information could be transmitted to the lower level troops so they can deal with them as little effort as possible.
We can't expect them to face pidgeot, golem, vileplume, bellosum but their weaker forms can easily be taken down by any intermediate trainer if their weakness is known.
So this plan can be partially implemented. I think that the warrant officers, sergeants and corporals can make sure that that their subordinate troopers can learn the information about these pokemons if the information notes are handed to them." He asked the officer cadets in the room.
" It shall be done, Sir." The two second lieutenant and eight officer cadets replied.
" Next, we have to make some preparation for trapping the Pokemons midway and stopping their fierce momentum.
If the pokemons run towards us to attack all together this may affect the morale of the troops which will be harmful for us in the long run. We can place some traps on the way to disrupt the momentum and rushing of the Pokemons.
We can dig holes and place spikes below so that they can be killed or injured seriously after they fell down with their rush.
Some leg holding traps with sharp teeth placed around the ground to injure them.
Tge snare traps can be placed in the forest so that the pokemons may be hooked up by the neck and die due to lack of air."
All the uses if these traps made everyone have cold sweats. These traps are effective especially when the horde will most likely rush towards them.
But, the aftermath of the traps would be cruel. Thinking what would happen with the town and it's resudents if they failed to guard them, they managed squashed the pity for Pokemons and steel their heart. Jim asked," What is the mechanism of this trap, sir?"
" The leg-hold trap may comprise of a metal foot plate and curved jaws, powered by hefty springs. It is usually anchored into the ground by a short chain and metal spike or is secured to a tree or large branch.
Once triggered, the trap immobilizes the Pokemons , preventing them from eating, staying hydrated, fending off predators, and sheltering themselves from the harsh weather.
There are chances that they may breath the trap itself to free themselves. But the trap is built to injure them not to deal with the Tide I one sweep so it is still useful.
Their ultimate destination is death by bleeding from wound or by starving from hunger. " Alex replied.
" And what about the pits with spikes? Where should we build them?"
" We will dig some holes around the space between forest and the town wall. And these holes will be 20*20 inches area and about ten metres deep.
On the sides as well as bottom we can place wooden spikes or even iron spikes so when the pokemons pass through here, they will fall down the ditch and get impaled by the spikes.
This can also stop the movement of the ground type who will attack from underground as a surprise attack.
They will be built at irregular intervals so the Pokemons can't calculate where they are really present and dodge them.
From the walls of the town, we can send long ranged attacks to deal with flying pokemons."
" And what about the snare traps?"
" A wire loop is placed along a traveling path where the pokemon will walk through it. The snare tightens as the pokemon tries to free him or herself, resulting in restraint, or death by slow strangulation.
This will make them easy targets as they can't dodge the attack. " Alex explained.
These traps were ruthless and can cause much problems later if they are propagated but their present benefits outweigh the problems they may create in the future after they fell in the wrong hands.
Captain Alex gave them good tactics and tricks, so they felt he could help them even more, so Gold asked him respectfully, " What other tricks can be used, sir?"
Alex felt that they may have recognised the basic strategies he created for sake of defence especially the traps so they whole heartedly accepted him as their boss.
" We can create some trenches around the path. Many ground types and other pokemons know dig. They may transverse around the place underground so if we dig trenches their hiding place lessen and they can become easy target for the troops.
We can place barricade and spiky wire barrier around the walls so that their presence may slow down their speed and give the troops some time to adapt and breathe.
Lastly, we can use combination attacks with Pokemons to a much greater effect.
The wind tornado and Flamethrower together can be flame tornado. Gust and poison powder, sleep powder and stun powder can be widely spread under the application of gust affecting multiple pokemons.
Rest of the tricks you could discover and invent yourself. You don't need me to guide you completely." Alex ended
" Yes sir."
" Then we can discuss about the possible weaknesses of the most common Pokemons present in the tide. And we will start with Rattata.
Daisy, tell us about the advantages and disadvantages present in the Rattata and Raticate?"
Alex has mentioned some ruthless traps which will be used to take down the pokemons. What are the weaknesses of there Pokemons? Stay tuned

Spoilers:
This way at least the front line soldiers have some semblance of barrier separating them. And only flying and underground Pokemons would be unaffected.
But we all know that at least 60 to 70 percent of Pokemon would be land travelling and rest will be a combination of flying and underground travelling ones." Alex elaborated.
