Before Alex's age was revealed,
With Alex,
Alex has left after his speech and headed for his office to continue his work.
Jean had run to reach Alex and when she reached him, she asked," Sir, why did you act so aggressively against the troops. Now they will only regard you as a big mouth and won't respect you.
It will make things even more difficult to deal with the corps in the near future."
Alex just smiled softly and didn't bothered by this. This continued to confuse Jean," Do you really think I didn't show my power?"
Jean was confused by his words and said," Sir, you used your presence on them but it was just for some seconds. Other than some experienced people most will neglect it as nothing but hallucination due to the upcoming Pokemon tide.
And the deer ones would be quiet thinking you don't want your powers to be revealed and would most probably be quiet about it and will not mention it to others. "
" Yes, they won't do such a thing as they might have learned it by now, what really need to be said and what needed to be hidden. " Alex said and continued,
" And this presence may have an approximate power level for me. And then the rumours will exaggerate making my powers too far fetched and I will be even more doubted by others.
So I thought of a way to make myself unfathomable to all of them. And I got it because I still thought about this plan calmly when they all started to ridicule me." He told her mysteriously.
This got the attention of Jean, Ivysaur and Nidorino but Slowking smiled a knowing smile.
" So what did you really did out there,Captain?" Jean, the secretary and grass specialist asked Alex.
" I decided to make an example out of those overexcited and disobedient people." He said but didn't reveal anything completely.
" Can you please explain it, Captain?" Jean asked almost pleading. She was a smart girl to reach the post of secretary of a zone commander in her mid twenties.
One of her biggest weakness was her curiousness which Alex took note of back at the office when he met all his second lieutenant, officer cadets and the doctor with her.
Whenever an unknown appeared in front if her, her eyes had a surprising spark to it which Alex still remembered. So he decided to play with her curious nature a bit and this was her final outcome.
He was greatly amused by the way Jean talked to him now and said," Didn't you hear it that the curiousity killed the Meowth."
" But sir I can't do anything about it. You left me handing and won't tell me why you did it. " She pointed cutely. If it was anyone else he might have found it cute or something.
But Alex was an introvert in the past life. He could barely talk to girls earlier and now in this life, he spent most of his times in the books so he doesn't have much social skills. He doesn't understand her act at all.
" Anyway, you remember what I said before leaving."
She tried to remember what he said and then stated," Something about winning being our only option and to look at their necks. Was there really something on their neck." She looked at him for the answer.
He just smiled Mysteriously but it was starting to annoy them so nidorino acted. He ran towards Alex threw him on his back and started to jump up and down like a bull does.
Alex was surprised by his behaviour and started shouting," Stop it … bad pokemons… bad nidorino aaahh. . Ahhh … I order you to stop this instant."while enjoying the ride of nidorino.
After few minutes of bull riding or in Alex's case, Nidorino riding, nidorino stopped. Alex eyes were spinning and he even felt like vomiting but he didn't dare do it or nidorino will probably smash him on the ground and jump on him.
When he recovered a little, he saw Jean, Slowking and Ivysaur laughing merrily at him. They thoroughly enjoyed Alex's misfortune.
After controlling her laughter, Jean asked," Are you willing to reveal what you really did or do you want another ride?"
He looked down at nidorino who will start the next round if he didn't answer it directly and decided to drag it again.
Alex was m_o_a_ning in his heart as how his pokemons made fun of him in front of others. He thought maliciously,' Just you wait nidorino, I will make you regret downing this to me.' He started to get his revenge at his pokemons through their training and laughed wickedly.
At the same time, all his pokemons shuddered and felt they had almost stepped on death's footstep.
" Fine. You remember all those people who ridiculed me. Their words made me angry and I knew I can't act too strongly or else the consequences will be severe.
But I can't let them get away with this so what I did was make Slowking over here use his water power to give a small cut on their neck.
This will not only be a warning but also an indicator." He answered while getting off nidorino. He decided not to ride nidorino ever again.
Jean was shocked that he managed to wound them all without warning and if he wanted he could kill them. This innocent looking smart boss of hers was really ruthless. If she did not know about his traps aftereffect and this incident she would think him as a kid who was just a sheltered genius.
But , these things showed that he has seen how cruel the world could be and mercy is a shortcut to early death.
But the thoughts of his pokemons were completely different.
Nidorino thought,' Good, I managed to influence the boss. Haunter will be very happy to know and now we all can join together to prank others.' he was giddy about it.
Ivysaur just shook her head and thought,' Espeon was correct. All the males in the groups are idiots who only knows how to create trouble.'
Slowking meanwhile was thinking,' I followed him for years and yet his occasion childishness surprised me. These times remind me that he was still a kid According to humans. '
" And how are you gonna punish them?" Slightly shaken by the previous act of Alex when he could end lives of hundreds without any warning.
" I left a note for Jim. I am sure he can handle the rest easily. Now let's head back. We still have to think of places where we should place traps and not let them be discovered before the real tide appears."Alex said and headed back.
What punishment has Alex decided for these people? Stay tuned.
