Chapter 176 - 56- Alex join the battle

As the tide approached, Alex knows that someone among the group would have thoughts of escaping. Alex chose this very moment just before the final battle to have a " chat " with Gold to curb their deserting action.

As he was talking to Alex, Jean had left to call the soldiers under Gold and be prepared.

Now they are also ready but were very reluctant. The news about Gold's possible punishment was spread with the help of the resident psychic, Nora.

This managed to calm the internal quagsire which was starting to spread when the soldiers couldn't find their immediate heads on their commanding positions.

In this world, Power reign supreme. But with his young age many don't regard his strength or just dismiss it thinking it was a publicity stunt. This makes people completely underestimate him.

Often this serves as an advantage for Alex but situations like these make things difficult. Although he is young and stronger than most, there is still some group who may cause trouble for him and provoke the soldiers under their command to attack him to free their heads from his tyranny, according to their minds and views. They would even forget that this may in turn be regarded as treachery or coup organized by Gold and his coharts.

They will feel that with their overwhelming number, they may beat Alex and the travelling trainers would just join thinking what they were doing was right.

Even if Alex took down the people who dared to attack him his strength would be reduced greatly and he couldn't protect the town anymore.

The spreading of words about Second Lieutenant Gold and his coharts would stop all discontent of the troops towards Alex and all these matters will be left for after dealing with the tide.

Alex has left the earlier high platform to look at the arriving herd of Pokemons and was ready to fight after being equipped with the water gem dangling on his neck, aura gloves ( a gift from Mew to better control aura) and the staff made from the tree of beginning.

Alex had only used his staff to fight a couple of people or half dozen of people at a time and he won mostly due to his advantage of aura.

Just as he was thinking about how he would fight the coming tide, there were some loud bang heard in the sky as well as on the ground.

The fight between Alex's strongest pokemons and the three pseudo kings have begun.

After couple of minutes the tide was up in front of them, and Alex shouted," Destroy the Invaders." And he dashed towards the coming Pokemon losing all previous plans of formation and strategy to deal with the Pokemon.

The pokemons which were by his side such as Charmeleon, Poliwhirl, Marill and ivysaur too followed him forward. Though, Ivysaur was a bit subdued compared to others who seemed a little bloodthirsty now.

He was young, too young to not be hot blooded and think rational especially when he is fighting ba battle as grand as this.

Many people couldn't even see or hear about this type of battle let alone participate and lead the corp to defend a stronghold.

Most probably inspired by Alex's inspiring and enthusiastic words, the people beside him too ran while shouting," Destroy".

The Pokemons on the front row show people and pokemons dashing towards him but they didn't seemed affected and continued their dash.

The first Pokemon Alex ran into was Rattata whose head was crashed under the brutal blow from the staff. He swiped the staff at the rat Pokemon and used the force from the blow to jump up and kick the Pokemons who tried to surround him with aura enhanced kick. He didn't stop and twirled the staff around and dealt with the swarm of Rattata.

Alex had his eyes closed by the time when he crushed the first Rattata and he used his aura vision to differentiate between forest and friends.

The aura of the pokemons of the tide has a tint of red in it. The two sides could easily be distinguished and he could also sense their life aura leaving their body as they die.

That way, their is no chance of sneak attack from the presumed dead body. Some Rattata and raticate tried to bite on the staff and break it with their terrifying bite power but it didn't left even a dent on the staff.

After all it was made from the wood of the tree of beginning and nourished by the life energy and aura circulating through it's entire body. And with Mew's blessings the power and durability is even stronger.

It's strength increases even further when aura is circulated the it so things are much easier or it is easy for Alex to deal with these minor characters.

Soon a taurus rushed towards Alex since he was taking down too many pokemons. Alex used his staff to pole vault over the rushing body and smashed a strong aura enhanced heel on his head.

The powered up hit made it wobble around on his feet since his head was hit hard and he lost control of his body and mind for a moment.

It was enough for Charmeleon who shredded the head of taurus with a dragon claw.

Alex didn't bother with them anymore and faced the much agile mankey and primeape.

He knew about thier attack patterns through the vision that mew showed him back earlier. This made the fast mankey and primeape easy picking for Alex.

Alex's combo with his staff and aura served as a grinder for the forces of Pokemon tide. He took down any Pokemon which arrived within his range.

And of those who aren't down they are left to deal by his guardians, Charmeleon, ivysaur, poliwhirl and marill to deal with the attacks at his back.

Their combined teamwork helped Alex relieve much pressure and Alex could at least harm the bigger Pokemons enough for the others to end it.

As for why Alex could easily deal with these many pokemons, the biggest reason was ivysaur. Her pollen and sleep powder in the air made them sluggish around Alex and made them easy target to deal with.

This made it easier for Alex to integrate in the battle at earlier stages and then gain his rhythm and deal with the bulk.

Seeing Alex taking down so many wild pokemons alone with just a staff and even without his Pokemons except for dealing with some sneak attacks, hurt the pride of the people who knew his true age.

To think a eleven year old kid could take care of so many pokemons without the help of his Pokemons and yet here they were affected by the increasing Pokemon opponents.

They attacked the tide with new vigour and started to desimate the front line of the tide.

How will those battles go? Stay tuned….
