Chapter 145 - 26 : First time meeting

Claydol stationed himself behind Alex's seat and Alex spoke loud enough for the people behind the door to hear him," Enter."

The door opened and in came, Jim along with twelve other people followed behind him.

There were a total of seven men and six women in the group.

Ten of them were in their military uniform of the Kanto army with their rank badges on their attire, while one woman was in clothes of secretary while the two other male and female were in the doctor's attire with white lab coat.

They all arrived in front of him and saluted him. Although, some had expression of disdain as well as unwillingness on their face, they still followed the army protocol of greeting their superior.

" At ease. So, who are they all, Jim?" Alex asked the only member of the group he knew of so he could begin their introduction.

This way, the uncomfortable ones don't have to become even more unconformable with his presence and about being their leader and Captain.

Jim was a black haired tan-skinned middle aged guy who took Alex to the North Zone commander's office on Mayor Flinn's instructions.

" Yes sir."

While taking a step forward. He then pointed at the blonde one in his twenties with Mohawk style hair and light skin colour

" He is Gold Simmons. The other Second lieutenant of the 65th infantry corps. He is a rock specialist while I am flying specialist." He cane forth and stood in front of Alex. Alex just nodded at him.

He then pointed at long white haired woman in the crowd with office uniform, " She is Jean Mathew. She is the personal assistant and secretary of the North Zone Commander.

She will help you with all the official and doc_u_mental works, pertaining to your post. She herself is an advance trainer specialising in the grass type Pokemons. " She smiled softly at Alex.

Then he pointed at the doctor's attire people.

The man with white hair and muscular body was introduced first," He is Dr. Armin Richards. He is a veteran doctor who has been official head doctor of the corp for decades.

And by his side is his assistant, Dr. Daisy Hilton. She is the intern of the doctor and has agreed to stay here for healing the injured soldiers and Pokemons."

Daisy Hilton was a brunette girl few years older than Alex. She was probably in her early twenties or at least nineteen years old.

Then he looked at a dark skinned purple haired man with straight hair ," He is Mark Thomas, the resident fire specialist. He is the most skilled and powerful officer cadet of them all."

He too followed Gold.

Next is a light blue haired guy with round specs was introduced," He is Charles Clint. He is the electric specialist officer cadet of our group."

" These twins are John Dalton and Joan Dalton. John is our resident ground specialist while Joan is a bug type specialist. They both have a great combination skills. "

Then came a Marron haired woman with shoulder length hair. ," She is Anne Bolt. She is the poison specialist."

A green haired man and black long silky haired woman was pointed. " This is Barthelomew Davis and his wife, Glynda Davis.

Barthelomew is our ghost and electric specialist. He is also the chief technician of the corps.

Glynda meanwhile is the scout chief of the corps. She has appeared team of canine who has strong sense of smell. With her help, we can easily find the pokemons who are participating in this riot."

Then came another person in his twenties. He wore a fighting gi and gas strong muscles and short black hair.

" He is Blake. He is our fighting expert and also a fighting master."

Blake was the only one in the group who didn't have a hint of contempt towards Alex and looked at Alex respectfully. He is a fighter so he probably noticed the muscles if Alex and felt he was at least strong physically.

And at last but not the keat, came a bubblehead girl, she seemed like she was brimming with energy," She is Nora Archer. She is our psychic specialist and also our communication expert."

When Jim finished introducing all of them, he joined their ranks and stood facing Alex.

Alex then introduced himself to all of them while sitting on his chair cross legged," I am Alex Bart. I am the Temporary Captain of the 65 th Infantry corp along with north zone commander of Sky town for the duration of Pokemon raid.

I know that some of you may have doubts about my ability and qualifications to lead you, but I don't care about it. I am appointed by the league as your boss so I hope you will follow my command at the very least.

Even some of my unorthodox orders are to be followed. If not I can assure you, you will wish you had been placed before the military tribunal instead of my punishment." He released his killing intent instead of pressure to hide his strength now.

The KI made the atmosphere cold and sent goosebumps at their backs with how potent it really was.

" Now, moving onto the next topic, I want to know if any one of you are a strategist or have an in-depth knowledge about the pokemons." He asked after lifting his killing intent.

No one stood forward then Daisy took a step forward and said," Sir I have studied in the Pokemon Tech academy. There I have been taught about different Pokemons and their weaknesses along with how to beat them."

The name ' Pokemon Tech' was a name Alex heard somewhere. It was established by an Elite Four years ago. His objective was to grant basic knowledge and experience to the youths and tge information about the wilderness, so that new trainer can have better chances of survival in the wild.

They only taught basic knowledge to most and in-depth study was done, if that person wanted to be specialised in that particular field and elected that course.

So the thing he wanted to know will only be known by people who opted for Pokemon cultivator position. She is a doctor, so she may have some information about the Pokemon and their body physiques he didn't know and can answer his doubts.

He know that the only other person other than her would be the experienced Doctor, Dr. Richards who has years of experience in pokemon treatment and knows much about their physiques through practice he had under his belt.

He nodded at her " And we don't have any strategist among us. " He said looking at the people in front of him.

Seeing none of them answering he knows there weren't any to begin with.

" Fine, so do you have any information of what pokemons are going to to attack this part of the town? "He asked looking at the two second lieutenants.

Second lieutenant Gold stepped forth and said," Sir, according to our intelligence, grass type, poison type, flying type l, normal, bug and a few psychic and fighting types are the most probable Pokemon who might attack us."

" And what about the specific pokemons? Is there no news?"he asked

" Sorry sir. We can only determine what type it species they are only a day before the actual attack. There are still three days before they appear here. So we don't know the exact constitution of the herd, except that there will be at least one flying pseudo king and one other pseudo king may be the chief of land attacks in this direction."

Alex felt that a headache was coming his way. He have no accurate information about the tide and yet he has to lead the group in this situation. Information is in of the most important thing for the success in war.

" what strategy did you decide to face the coming invasive pokemons before I was appointed?"

Gold remained quiet for some time probably remembering the last plan they had prepared and then he replied," The last leader of ours was the lieutenant of Captain Bolt and he told us to assemble the corp on the basis of the type of Pokemon they use and when the information about the Pokemon comes we will let the group having thought advantage face them head on."

Alex took all the words and then spit out," You decided to take the tide head on."

" Yes. " Thinking that Alex didn't know the way of the military said," this is the tactics used by the military especially when they are facing this type of situation. We employ the type advantage tactics to face the tide."

"This way we have gained many victory in the past."

All these words increased the headache and Alex felt like banging his head on the table in front of him. But he controlled this urge and then asked," So you all too agree with this plan?"

" Yes sir" they all replied in unison.

Alex couldn't control himself anymore and banged his head on the table with a loud bang. They regard themselves as a rock and tide as waves of the sea but they forget that water bypass the rock and can pass the obstacles easily.

How will Alex handle the situation here where using type advantage is a great tactics when you are outnumbered? Stay tuned
