章 137: CHAPTER 19 - Samuel's Advice
" Here we wanted to get some help, and what we got in return was even more trouble?" Grumbled one of the lieutenant.
" Sir we really have to follow such an absurd order?" Asked another leutinent angrily.
" Don't question the orders. We are soldiers and our job is to follow the orders. Nothing else " captain Bolt said emotionlessly showing he himself wasn't pleased with orders of the top but he couldn't do anything about it.
" But.."
" No ifs or buts or anything else. Just follow the orders. Since you question the orders so much then you will follow him and make sure every order of his is carried out effectively. " Ordered Captain Bolt
"We can't disobey the league. We will follow their command." Terrence said
" We will provide as much support to him as possible so that he isn't in any trouble. The longer he stays in the fight, the greater chances of survival will be.
At least, they could send some support even if only in the dark. If he retreats in the fight, they retreat and we would be in some serious problem if such a scenario happens.
even if we beat the tide, the consequences of causing or making him retreat will be borne on all our heads." Mayor Flinn expressed his view.
Although many of them were dissatisfied with this decision but seeing that none of the leaders opposed the order they too didn't say anything and sent for Alex to arrive at the office so they could prepare a new plan to combat the situation they were in.
Before the Mayor called the league,
Alex has reached the Pokemon center and saw many were crowding the reception and healing counter for getting their pokemons all healed up and ready for the next day.
The younger trainers were excited about it and were really looking forward to this Pokemon tide, so that they could shine in this event and gain prestige, money as well as strength through it.
Meanwhile the older experienced people are at sharp contrast to these young ones. Their face has dire expression and weren't as confident as the younger ones. They have probably encountered such situations in the past and felt their own chances of survival isn't that great.
Alex headed for the interior of the pokemon center amidst the crowd and he was prohibited by a guard from entering inside.
But before he could rough handle him, Alex liberated himself from his grip and showed him his pokemon trainer ID which shocked the guard and he subconsciously moved out of the way.
Some people saw this and tried to copy the same trick Alex did but to no avail. And they started shouting," He was allowed to enter. Why can't we enter too?"
" We are endangering ourselves to protect you and you treat us like this."
" You better move or we will leave and you can't even protect yourself then."
No matter what the other people say the guard remained unmoved. He was still dealing from the shock that how he encountered such a genius and how lucky he was.
As for why he didn't think it was a back door dealing, Alex released slight killing intent(KI) at the guard to show how serious it was.
Alex has encountered many powerful people and trainers who were out for his kill and yet he survived while they didn't so his killing intent was intensified over time.
And the guard who is mostly stationed at the town to guard nurse joy can't withstand the killing intent of this level.
After entering he asked one of the nurse joy to heal his pokemons and also he asked if he could call someone from there.
She replied that he could but not from the phone in this area since they have some restriction placed to prevent non Nurse joy from utilising it as per league's guidelines.
After agreeing to this, he dialed a call to Professor oak ( Before the elite four has called Samuel) ," Good morning Alex. How are you today?"
" I am not really fine today Professor."
" Oh. What happened for you to feel like that?" Samuel curious about what has affected his mood.
" I just stumbled across a pokemon tide. And I don't know how to feel about it. I just feel uncomfortable being here. This is the first time I felt something like this. I don't know how to explain this.
I called because if my family know I have come across a raid, they will worry and I don't want mom to worry about me, especially in her current condition.
So I thought you may have some advice for me." Alex told him.
" I see so you finally experienced the uncertainties in your journey. It is good. Throughout your journey you have certain thoughts and ideas about your trip and could overcome them with your wisdom.
But now you are face a barrier because of the raids. Although you are young you probably have gotten enough info about these to know that anything could happen in such places.
You can't handle the unknown pressure you are experiencing. The unknowns about it as well as the things you know about the raids are scaring you.
All your situation before you knew you could survive the cases but now you are uncertain. Even I can't involve ourselves freely and break rules of the league so your basal instincts bring out this uneasy feeling in you."
" Why am I feeling this?"Alex asked puzzled about this feeling.
" Alex no matter how you feel that you are an average person or trainer, you know it subconsciously that you are a genius and are well above many of your strong peers and people around the world. Even if you don't show or act like that, you have began to isolate yourself from people below or weaker than you.
Now in this case, you are putting your life in the hands of people you don't even know and respect or feel they aren't worthy of leading you.
So you begin to have second thoughts of the raids. You feel you could do better than your possible leader so you are feeling uneasy with having a weak boss to lead." Samuel explained it to him.
Although he felt he was wrong, Alex has noticed over time he was changing and had disdain over others underestimating him " So what should I do to overcome this case? I don't think it is healthy for me."
" Indeed, it is not healthy but you will overcome it over time as it is a part of your growth. But, you can't lose that superior attitude. It will make you go far and is one of the basis for the long race in front of you. You are superior than them and your innate superiority will make sure you continue to remain above them.
I have my superiority, Red and Blue have their too. You can also regard this superiority as our pride. The pride is a very important thing for trainers especially powerful ones. This make sure they don't lose to their junior so they practice hard and advance.
This pride is one of the most important thing for the trainers. This is also one of our greatest motivation to grow stronger. So don't lose the pride and never lose that pride.
And, I will do something about you and make sure that you aren't a follower. I can at do something like this for you , after all I still have some influence in the league." He said humbly to Alex
Alex rolled his eyes when he heard the Professor and said," If your influence in the league can be regarded as some influence then I really want to know what influence really mean.
Thanks for you help professor. "
" Don't thank me. You are my student now. I don't want someone who is not even qualified to be your opponent, become your leader. He must have some special qualities or abilities or else I will make sure you become an independent person not restrained by the orders of the commander.
And, it is also related to the prestige of the Laboratory while means that it is my prestige, Red's and Blue's too .I don't know about those two but I don't like my prestige being trampled with. " He said with a fierce pressure released from him in the last sentence.
Soon a call rang opposite to him and when he introduced himself without turning behind, Agatha voice rang.
Samuel winked at Alex and put down the call.
Alex knowing that he would help him with this, he was relaxed and decided to stay here until his presence was required.
How will Alex lead the army against the Pokemon tide? Stay tuned
