Capítulo 174: chapter 54: Psychic Genres
Alex looked at the man who was begging him abandoning everything that a strong man stands for. The true strong would die than begging to anyone. The only exception would be if his or her family is in problem.
He even has a face full of disdain towards Gold. He has planned to do something like this way before the tide came.
When he met his subordinates for the first time, he didn't let out Claydol just to intimidate them and get their recognition.
He did because of Claydol's special psychic property
Psychic powers are of multiple type. They have all types of uses.
One could specialise in control and master the telekinesis part of psychic through which he or she could control large number of things through pyschic.
Next would be as sensor. The Abra line is a natural sensor as it helps them escape from their foes.
Another is emotions. Pokemons can sense emotions through psychic like in case of Ralts. Their head has rod which helps them in sensing emotions of the people and Pokemon around and protect themselves.
Another is character sensing. Every person or Pokemon has some character which defines him or her. Their regular actions in life create some changes in the person as well as his aura.
Some psychic type could sense these aura and find the personality of that person without knowing them before. This is the ability Claydol excels in.
Slowking is a telekinesis expert. Ralts are emotion sensor while claydol falls under character reader category.
Most psychic are inclined towards only one of these genres which made the younger psychic types a bit weak but later when they master other genre their power increase greatly making them one of the strongest types.
Mew is most probably the master in all the genres since she is known to show herself to kind and honest people only. The number if bad or villianous people who saw her appearance are less than 10 percent of the number of good people who saw her.
Through her psychic she had managed to evade some of the unsavory people from time to time.
Back then claydol has already made some assumptions about the personality of his subordinates.
And yes assumptions. Claydol hasn't completely mastered this trick. He still gets confused in some characters but this time in the camp he was able to see that claydol was 60 percent to the Target.
If they held back their true personality or it was Claydol's mistake is a completely different matter. A person personality is composed of both good and bad personality. Among the two, bad one is easily caught. Although he hasn't mastered it, he is able to sense some bad or wrong or different(depending upon perspective of people) personality traits.
All ten of them had some tint of bad persona on them.
Jim was lazy.
Jean was proud.
Mark was violent.
John was self centered
Armin was rude.
Daisy was arrogant.
Joan was greedy.
Annie was temperamental.
Barthelomew was ignorant.
Glynda was snobbish.
Blake was sexist.
Nora was selfish.
These were the most prominent trait that claydol got from them but Gold was something unique. He had multiple traits which shine brightly for Claydol.
He was jealous, arrogant, cruel and greedy.
These made Alex a little vigilant towards him. These traits aren't good or bad. Every person possess them but the degree or the way they use it demarcate it as good as bad.
And taking into consideration, the traits of the second lieutenant as well as officer cadets Alex decided to make a pit for Gold.
The best way to gain prestige is to defeat someone who has greater prestige than you and overpower him. That person is a stepping stone to his rise of Fame.
So Alex decided to play tricks with him. Alex gave him certain request which may seem optional to him but overtime he felt that the captain is not bothering with him so he became more bold.
When he becomes bold enough and blatantly disrespect him, he would use him for his rise. The rise of power is based on crushing someone under his feet and rising above him.
This was the role of Gold.
But, situation changed. Alex has changed. The plan is made before the loss of life of men in the battle against Pokemon Tide.
Alex after seeing the death, pain and anguish of people forgot the initial plan and decided to do as much as he could to preserve life. All people has an innate heroic mentality in theory youth.
As one grows it dissipates as they learn that not all things are achievable and sometimes some people couldn't be saved. These failures then their heart jaded and make them accept death around them a little easier compared to before.
This was something one can learn only through experiencing loss. When all people survive the crisis it is called fantasy, but when people are sacrificed or are dead to protect others that's called a reality.
This is something Oak wants Alex to learn. He has success in every turn of life. And loss of life can be regarded as one of the greatest failure one could experience.
This has broken many brave people. What Oak hoped was that this loss he experience now will make sure he hasn't got lost in the victories he experience in the future.
Anyway, back to the matter at hand, Alex looked down at the begging man and said," I would have killed you just so my authority is maintained in the Corp and noone dared to violate my command."
This sent shivers down Gold and his men's spines.
" We are sorry. Pease give us one more chance."
" We will never disobey you "
" I am sorry,sir. Just one more chance. One more chance." Gold said.
Normally he would have attacked Alex since he was at such close quarters but the presence of a powerful psychic who could teleport them here without the lot knowing made sure he doesn't have the courage to do so.
If he did that, he would face the wrath of all the pokemons there.
" But, you are really lucky. I have experienced enough death of people in the past few days. If I end your pitiful lives then your pokemons would not follow my order and may as well attack the troops.
This will cause unnecessary loss in the Corp. And your lack of presence may cause even greater loss when facing the tide when you don't hold back the powerful pokemons, or Pokemons way too powerful for other people.
So you are safe and you won't lose your life now." Alex said.
" Thank you sure for your Mercy. We will not let the chance you gave us go to waste."
They sang songs and rhymes of his Mercy and greatness
Alex has enough of their buttering and he shouted," I am not finished. If…."
What is the condition for forgiving this group of people? Stay tuned.
