" Alex's electabuzz which was at elite peak before and has reached pseudo king under the extreme high pressure from Gengar." Samuel elaborated.
" It was really a blessing in disguise. And to think he could reach this level at such a young age. He has already surpassed all the people of his generation with this.
Only the type disadvantage electabuzz has to the dragon ground type, Gabite who is also at peak elite strength has let Cynthia remain the current strongest Trainer of their generation.
But if it is a complete six on six, Alex might have a chance to seize her throne ." Agatha narrated.
" Alex currently have a pseudo king electabuzz, two elite peak pokemons- Slowking and a shiny Pidgeot, initial elite like Snorlax and Piloswine and finally advanced peak are Haunter, Charmeleon, Butterfree, Espeon, Onix,.
These ten have made sure that he remains in top three of his generation without a problem. And there might be other powerful pokemons with him we don't know about. While others are still at younger forms and could at least reach advanced peak by the time of Pokemon league tournament.
So tell me with these many strong pokemons, Alex need our additional protection. " Samuel said
They remained quiet for sometime and then one said,
" No if what you said is true then we don't need to send extra people." Blaine said
" I think it would be better to let Alex too lead a Corp in the battle. It would be a good practice for his leadership skills, handling crowds, dealing with miscreants without violence, mentality as well as his strategy. And if things do go south, he could handle things with his power." Samuel suggested.
Hearing this put all the elite four under some serious thoughts but later they agreed. They never mentioned the amount of people who may lose their life if Alex gives a wrong command. For them even sacrifice of thousands wasn't anything great if the town could be preserved.
Although it seemed cold hearted, these five felt if the sacrifice of the hundreds can help them create a champion level trainer who may protect Kanto from internal and external threats for decades than it is affordable. The lost population can be overcome in a decades time and all will be done.
" But I don't think they will agree to do so easily." Fiona said.
" Indeed. Even if we order them, they will behave like they followed our orders but will make him a puppet leader. and someone else will govern things in the Corp.
They will feel we just want to grant him honor and prestige so he will be the head but only nominal and none if the skills you mentioned above would be tested." Roan said
" We could have one of our pokemons be with Alex so we would be informed about it. I will even send my Xatu there. This way they won't know the true level of protection and care we put on Alex. He will make sure they don't play tricks with us and he would be protected from danger in case things go south. " Samuel said.
" Ok. But about the Badlands?" Fiona said softly.
" I will have no further discussion about this topic anymore and my decision won't change. Alex Bart will spend a week in Badlands before the league tournament or I will cancel his qualifications.
And you know that I can do this. Don't judge a genius with the vision of average people, they are extraordinary . You would only hamper his growth if you compare him with common people.
He faced me and lost badly . Even then he didn't consider me an unsurmountable mountain, for him I am just a steep hill difficult to scale but not impossible. So don't ruin him with your care. " Samuel said and then sent his pokeball to the elite four.
Blaine took the pokeball and released the future seeing pokemon Xatu. Samuel then told his entire plan to Xatu and he agreed. Him and Alakazam often guided Slowking, Espeon and butterfree in their psychic powers so he was close to Alex too.
With the task of protecting Alex he won't neglect a single detail. Also to make sure that Alex is elected as a commander and he is not fooled. xatu agreed to keep notes and keep them all up to date.
After the final decision was made, they all sent their decision to the original official. It took nearly an hour for the final decision to be made.
Now the official dialed the mayor Flinn who heard the rings picked up the phone. Currently there were the trio master trainers and the other advanced trainers except Alex in the room.
" Hello, I am the official from the league HQ and want to convey you the decision of the higher ups."
" Yes sir, what did they decided?" He asked happily thinking that the league will provide more support and their town will not be raged to the ground.
" They have decided to make Alex Bart of Floral Town one of the four main commander of the Defense Force and he will be leading a frontier at the pokemon tide. He is also rewarded temporary captain of the army." the official answered emotionlessly.
This decision shocked all the participants in the room. To have an eleven year old lead a regiment was too much, much less asking him to be the leader of the whole area.
The four main commanders are main protectors who protect the town from attacks in the four cardinal direction. One direction was protected by one master trainer and Alex would be an off one out in this case.
" Are you joking? Letting an eleven year old lead an army in life death situation. Do you not care for the life of these men?" Captain Bolt roared at the official.
The official wasn't affected by their anger and smoothly replied," This is the command of the Elite four and it must be inforced. To make sure this decision is followed and he doesn't become a puppet leader" hearing it all of them flinched," they sent out a Xatu " which teleported in front of them .
" He will report back if you make a fool of the league decision and don't follow the orders. The league will send more medical supplies and arms and as for fighting support, they think you got ample protection."
" And what about Alex?"
" This scenario is used as a learning experience for Alex Bart due to his exceptional skills and league doesn't care if you live or die. As for his protection, he can protect himself and if he can't then he would be sent away from the battlefield quickly.
league has made preparation for his protection way before you sent notice. His safety is of Paramount importance and far surpass what you can imagine. " He said
Soon the phone was turned down and the joy from getting new support went down the drain. They were shocked that they would make such a decision.
Soon in a bright flash, a Xatu appeared in front of them. It just looked at them for a while and then handed the gym leader a letter. It said:
' Don't think you could trick us and use him to get more support. There are multiple towns in Kanto which suffer from raid. You are nothing special. The only reason we even considered your request was because he was a young Trainer and will face his first tide.
After the decision with his teacher, we decided that it will be used as a teaching material for his leadership and strategic skills along with some others he may require in his journey. And the extra support would only be granted if his sector couldn't hold back the invasion.
Other than that don't expect any support from us. And don't even ask about more support. Our hopes for him is way higher than you even imagine . And you don't need to protect him or anything. He will lead and protect himself.
If our orders are not carried out, it wouldn't need the pokemon raid to eradicate the town and people . We can do it ourselves.
- Fire Elite Blaine. "
And with this threat the letter ended. After reading it, the letter began to burn courtesy of Xatu.
Soon, one of the advanced trainer shouted," How could they play with the life of so many people? Letting a kid become a leader?"
" I know he is strong but to lead is something else. He can't be allowed or the losses will be astronomical." Another added.
" Quiet" said gym leader Terrence. " Do you think you can disobey the league's order. They even sent this Xatu to make sure their orders are carried out.
And do you think they would care if our town was destroyed. The only reason we were considered by the top official was because of his presence. Now instead of getting support we become training practice for Alex.
For them, we all are expendable and this Xatu was transported here because if things go south, he would save him, isn't that part of your orders?" He looked at xatu.
Xatu didn't hide and nodded that it was given this mission.
What will they do after hearing this order from the top? Stay tuned
