Capítulo 147: chapter 28: The Mysterious Helper
They regretted underestimating him and thinking they could overstep the boundary and attack him. Military is a fighter corp. People respect authority and power here. Sometimes, if someone is more powerful than the superior then he is given some leeway even if he is much lower ranked than him.
Power is one of the most important thing in the world of pokemons because this is a place ruled by Pokemons. Personal power is the basis of everything.
Humans have less than 25 percent of the total land coverage under them and the rest are under Pokemons. This 25 percent includes the total land area of all the regions throughout the globe.
So powerful trainers are most respected because they may be the one who would protect the people later from the pokemons. So many ordinary people don't dare to be disrespectful to trainers.
The stormy experience of the unruly subordinates came to a halt when he withdrew his presence and all of them greedily sucked air to calm themselves down.
Alex warned them severely," Don't dare to overstep your boundaries or disregard my orders. I don't like disobedient people. "
And this time, they didn't dare to say anything and just endured his anger.
" So did you handle your new friends in Sky Town and not to disregard your position as the Captain, Alex." Blue asked cheerfully.
" Yes I just had a wonderful chat with them about how to respect their superior." He replied just as cheerful not at all affected that Blue knew where he was or what he was doing.
But it wasn't the same for his subordinates. In just a matter of few minutes, he was able to know everything about Alex such as his post and position was enough to show that he was pretty high up in the league or he paid enough attention to Alex to know what he was doing and where he was without the obstruction of the league.
" So what did you need dad's help for?" Blue asked.
" I wanted to know what tactics and strategies does the military focuses on since my subordinates doesn't know much about the tactics except using type advantage one in facing the Pokemons.
I really need to know what strategy they employ and if I made my own strategy and tricks. would they create any problem if I made certain changes in their official ways? " He asked Blue.
Hearing his question, Blue tried to think but couldn't remember military ever employing any tactics or strategy in the past.
" As far as I remember they never really did employ any tricks. They just try to win the battle with brute force."
" So they never used traps or any field advantage to take down the pokemons. " Alex asked to confirm.
" Most of the members of the military are ordinary people who didn't have enough money to go to school or learn under any knowledgeable person.
They are from small villages and towns throughout Kanto. Most of them don't focus on academics and arent too keen to strageies as it is regarded as boring by them.
Joining the military forces is one of the most effective way of gaining strength for them with a higher chance of survival.
So even without much information regarding pokemons except for some most basic ones they face their opponents blindly and many suffer heavy loss.
The officials doesn't pay much attention to their knowledge and they themselves doesn't care much.
They only learn simple strategies when they become general level ( Brigadier general). This is compulsory for them. The general level must have some knowledge of the most basic strategy or else they would be demoted within a year.
They have to pass three test taken every four months after their promotion and only if they pass twice, they retain their position.
The armed forces doesn't care much about strategy and so any thing you do won't suffer any problems later from the Army.
Not many people are like you who spend much time gaining information and news about the different Pokemons and world around themselves."
" So, they are just sacrificial pieces. They are the meat shield who will bear the brute Force of the Pokemons and the surviving ones would be promoted or rewarded for their valor." Alex asked expressionlessly. This was what he really thought since they aren't educated anything and are thrust into the fire with little to no training.
All the occupants of the room heard him were a little miffed at Alex because he regarded them as a sacrificial pieces but the terror of Alex was still in their mind which prevented them from arguing with him.
" In some way, yes they are just meat shield. Only the surviving ones are given some knowledge about their pokemons. With the merit they earn they can be given ways to raise their pokemons well.
And this is pretty low level guide so I don't think it will interest you. It is pretty cheap too. About one hundred thousand dollars in the black market. " Blue too said nonchalantly.
Alex saying this was already a bit too over the top for Daisy who was a doctor's intern and a graduate from " Pokemon Tech' Academy" one of the most prestigious and famous institutes in Kanto.
Though not so much prestigious and famous in the Pokemon league tournament as the graduate never made it past top 64 in the tournament.
" Enough of that. There are many people from "Pokemon Tech Academy" in the military. Many groups and institutes had multiple people in the armed forces too. I don't think the league would anger so many groups by letting so many people die or disregard the death of so many people.
You are just some countryside bumpkin who is trying to flaunt and show himself superior to everyone else.
You think that the league would dismiss the graduates from the elite institute like "Pokemon Tech Academy" and give them low order things as merits. This is too much bragging from both of you." She angrily retorted back.
Alex and blue turned quiet for sometime and even her companions felt, she was going to suffer the wrath of their new commander for insulting his friend like this.
But contrary to the thoughts of everyone, both of them burst out laughing even claydol behind Alex was shaking around in laughter at the fact that someone regarded a former Kanto champion as a country bumpkin who doesn't know anything.
When their laughter finally subsided, Blue voice came from the phone after he turned on the speaker mode," Yes, I regard all of you as my inferior and piece of waste. I don't care about what your Tech Academy or whatever academy thinks about me.
Alex, you have some interesting subordinates. So is there anything else you want to talk about?" Blue didn't bother to say anything else to the others. The other party was happy that the Mysterious speaker didn't decide to pursue the matter and cause trouble for themselves.
Seeing Blue wasn't bothered by them, Alex too let it be. And he thought of something he needed to know. But firstly, he motioned Claydol to create a barrier around him so no voice could reach his new subordinates.
When it was done, he asked," What countermeasures have been taken in case I fail to hold back the fort other than Xatu himslef in the Town Hall? "
" You identified him. I don't expect anything less especially after that gift you got from Red. No I don't know what measures they took in case you failed.
Enough of these boring talks, Let's talk about something interesting. Now tell me about that Gengar encounter?"
Blue disregard for talks about the town safety and survival made Alex shook his head in dismay and thought,' I really do not understand what the higher up think or how they think about matters disregarding the common people. Just let it be and I will think about it later. '
Alex asked him something in return," How did you know about the Gengar?"
" When you called back home in a hurry, Arthur called here and told about your problem. When Dad thought about your pennant for attracting troubles, you may have fallen in a heap of trouble yet again and he was right.
So he sent Charizard to look at your situation. Seeing that nothing out of ordinary happened so he left quietly."
" Is that so? I always felt something was odd with how quickly he agreed to trade with me and didn't issue a counter offer and let Dusknoir continue the negotiations.
He may have sensed him and was on a lookout in case he attacked and took them down. Before dropping me off around the town and leaving he did say, he left me here because I annoyed and irritated him.
It seems he left him in the middle of the Pokemon tide since, he couldn't trick me or force me to give in to his demands. And here I thought I tricked that old fox. I was too small to see that century old ghost." He said sadly that he almost lost because of his over smartness.
" Don't worry. You probably know old ghost pokemons can be. And with their lifespan, it isn't bad for you to be tricked or even exploited because of the loophole he found in the deal. " Blue tried to encourage him.
" Thank Charizard for the help, will you." Alex told
So Charizard was the unknown helper of Alex who helped him in finalising the deal quickly. stay tuned
