Capítulo 170: chapter 50: Transformation due to war
The sun rose from the East and the moon started to fade away from vision. The night has changed to day , but their isn't any change in the intensity of attack from the tide.
Alex hasn't slept properly for a few days because he was making sure everyone was prepared for the upcoming grander battle.
It has been nearly three days since his pidgeot went off to face Beedrill with the other flying Pokemons. And it has become a routine in the past few days.
Beedrill often comes back to attack and pidgeot with his flying companions join together to take him on. When they returned the first night, Alex has told pidgeot and the other pokemons, " If you face a weaker Pokemon end them soon and don't waste time.
If you face someone of similar strength it higher strength then drag it. Tire them, hurt them and make sure their wounds are starting to affect their battle performance.
It is a war. We are not powerful enough to end the fight in a moment. We can only do the best we could. If you are injured during the fight couldn't go the next round,then it would bring more problems for your companions later."
After that, pidgeot stopped using powerful attacks on Beedrill and tried to hurt it's weak parts like it's wings or stinger arms.
Same was with other Pokemons. Since claydol and vespiqueen joined together to help combat Beedrill, they are often targeted by him and return back with sharp bruise from stingers.
Golbat got an opponent to face at every clash. It was the other golbat. They used different tricks Everytime to take down the other and defeat the opponent.
But, it doesn't mean he doesn't solve the other Pokemons. He take down the weaker ones and then the wild golbat arrives to stop his slaughter.
Butterfree and pidgeotto has to deal with elite level pidgeotto, pidgeot, fearow and Xatu. They are often stopped by them. They drag down butterfree and pidgeotto so they couldn't take down the attacking flying types.
And it fell upon Lieutenant Jim and his coharts to deal with the weaker ones as Alex held back the more powerful ones among the Invaders.
He has left Haunter, Charmeleon, nidorino, poliwhirl, ivysaur and marill with Second lieutenant Gold who was at the front line.
He told Gold to direct where they are needed and they will deal with the rest together.
Haunter was a ghost in this. He sneaked at the Pokemons and faded away whenever he was almost caught. He used the sneak and peak tactics in this battle.
Often it took a few psychic types to stop his sneak attacks until one of the big boss cane forward to deal with him.
It was another Pseudo king Alakazam. When he appeared Alex was warned and almost sent out electabuzz his Trump card to deal with him but mew revealed that there was another Pseudo king out other than Beedrill and alakazam so he stopped and let Slowking deal with it.
Slowking training under mew, Alakazam and Xatu paid off and he was able to hold back Alakazam with Haunter sneak attacking from time to time.
Their battle mainly composed of stare contest with a free space between the two which Haunter didn't dare to tread at. The reason was that in that free space their psychic powers collide.
Alakazam was a newly promoted pseudo king so Slowking barely matched him due to his strict practice. Any Pokemon whether it is friend or for, who entered the zone turned into a blob of blood. Their soul left the body.
Charmeleon found an opponent in the form of marowak who has always thrashed by it. He was rescued by his companions before any serious injury. Whenever he encountered that marowak, he would head off to face him.
Nidorino dealt with a Rhydon who was his opponent. Though often defeated, he was learning and could match them one on one.
Ivysaur has heracross and pinser to deal with. Though not as powerful as their leader they are difficult opponent especially since they yearn for nectar on bub of ivysaur.
Help of poliwhirl managed to turn the tides for ivysaur and Poliwhirl gets a sparring opponent.
Marill didn't find ant opponent like others because she often headed to the middle of grass pokemons to desimate them. Even when an elite level Pokemon arrives, Gold was there to deal with it.
Onix was taking care of the ground type himself along with the occasional fire type arriving there. He used it's massive body to search for the hidden pseudo king in the tide.
And whenever he arrived too close he has to escape a powerful Earthquake heading his way.
This made Alex understand that it was a ground Pokemon since he could sense Onix underground and approaching him.
Even with the heavy defense at the wall, some occasional Pokemons managed to by pass them. Of they are around Alex, they are out down by his pokemons such as Espeon, Piloswine or Snorlax.
Electabuzz wasn't revealed yet. They always stopped them so they ( tropops as well as the Pokemon tide leaders or chief) know there are some pokemons who still haven't joined the battle.
Alex has some troops survey the area around in case they reach here and attack the civilians. There are occasional reports of wild pokemons attacking civilian in the town too as per report on his table.
All his pokemons have matured a lot over time. They faced the death more times out here in the tide than all the times they lived since they were born.
This made their instincts razor sharp and has more control over their attacks to prevent loss of energy. Nidorino and Haunter the two prankster have become subdued over time and don't joke around as much as they did back earlier.
But the person who changed the most was Alex.
In the past three days about give thousand people have died. According to the veteran doctor Armin, it was a pretty good campaign so far.
This was a good stat if compared to other zones where the casualty was in tens of thousands. But the injured one's of each zone was same. There were about ten thousand injured people in the Corp including the helping trainers.
He often went to the medical camps. There were many doctors and nurses along with their pokemons working overtime and countless injured or dead troops and trainers laid there .
He saw their pain and anguish. They suffer because of him. He was their captain and it fell upon him to take care of their well being.
He also went out to take a look at the battlefield through the binoculars. He saw many people dying and perishing during the battle. Some had their neck broken, dying of blood loss or being torn to shreds. He watched all of them without blinking.
Alex often felt like vomiting but he stopped himself. He felt that if he vomited then he would be sullying the sacrifice of the soldiers and watched. It reminded him of his weakness. No matter how much he wanted he couldn't protect them.
After every passing day,he became more and more cold so that he doesn't break down die to so many deaths around him. He finally understand what changes Blue talked about.
He had closed his emotions as soon as the first day of battle ended and he saw the reports. Even with so many casualties, no one came forward to say he was the one responsible.
As he was going through his memory thinking of the past few days, Jean rushed inside and shouted," S….Sir another pseudo king has appeared. And it is a Nidoking."
Alex took the staff that was by his side and started started to walk out of the tent on hearing this and the surrounding Pokemon such as Snorlax, Espeon, Piloswine and the Trump card Electabuzz followed.
Passing her he softly said," prepare everyone, the final round is starting soon. Stay away from my battlefield."
" Slowking, tell them to go all out. We will not drag this anymore. I have seen enough death and I am putting an end to it. " He was emotionless when he said that.
The final round begins and Alex officially enters the battle. Stay tuned
To be continued….
