Chapter 292 - 27

Bill heard his friends questions and replied back in the sequence he question and in haste, " We cannot turn the direction because they are coming too fast. We won't be able to escape their onslaught."

Hearing this, the group of young trainers understood that they have no other options other than to fight. The thought of escape which would be the first thing to come in any person's mind, never occurred in the mind of these folks.

They were ready to fight, but not retreat unless they are absolutely need to do so. Above all else, they can escape easily but that would lead to the death of thousands of people on this cruise because of their inaction.

This is something an elder cannot deal with easily let alone young kids their age. They have the heroic spirit as any other kids their age do.

Even Alex who is very m_a_t_u_r_e for his age have this spirit and he cannot just forsake them. But, they have to understand they cannot save everyone.

Bill continues to answer the questions Alex asked him earlier, "They will contact us in about an hour time so the captain thinks to keep it hidden until they are half an hour away. This way the sailors can use martial law and restrain the passengers from goimg into complete chaos.

The captain has discreetly started to divide passengers between men and woman and even children to make sure that the chaos can be within a controlled range when it happens."

This made everyone nod for they would do the same thing except many of them will forget about dividing the passengers which can cause greater chaos.

In life and death situations many people let go of their humanity and fall prey to their beastial instincts which makes them animals.

Alex in his time as the commander himself have dealt with those cases with absolute discretion without a shed of mercy to them.

" I agree with this distribution. But what is the punishment he has decided for the ones who break the rules and become Beasts?" Alex asked with his arms rested on the table in front of which the group sat with a cold and murderous glint shining in his eyes.

Bill and the others shuddered on seeing this look. These eyes weren't even directed at them, yet they feel the may die if they anger him even once in this situation. He controlled his shivering body, " He didn't set one just yet, but wished to know if we can support him.

There are some people on board with considerable influence, some not losing to me. So he hopes we can support him. After all he is just a captain even though he is the leader here.

The aftermath of that is too severe, not only to him but also for us." He said with a grave expression on his face.

This reminded Alex that it isn't the future where Silph corporation is the top corporation in Kanto spreading to Johto and other regions. Now, it is only one of the many corporation with it's branches in the major cities of Kanto.

The children other than Alex have been in the politics of the world for quite sometime and know what this may lead to. Even though Alex never got involved in politics, it is something he was thought about by his grandpa before he started his trainer career and later by Prof. Oak after he become a member of the Oak Laboratory.

Alex sighed loudly and closed his eyes thinking of what he should do now.

His actions caused everyone to look at him.

After a minute of deep thinking, he opened his eyes which have clarity in them. He remembered he has the backing of three champion trainers and any one of them is enough to rock the entire Pokemon league itself.

For this if he utilised their prestige and name, they won't mind. They often said to him that he can use it to deal with tricky situations when he is in a predicament like now.

He said with confidence, " If anyone break the rules when the martial law is imposed, then he will be punished severely. Any actions which can incite riot among the passengers or anyone causing such will be killed slowly.

Anyone who tried to take advantage of another passenger in that time, will be hung to the poles on the deck with ten cuts for every improper action he took towards the other.

He will be like that until we teach the land. If he survived he is lucky, and if not then it means Arceus loved him more than we originally thought he did.

And there will be no exception." To make sure he was serious he let his entire presence loose.

It didn't target anyone but upon release it spread to the entire ship and involuntarily everyone turned to his direction and stopped whatever they are doing.

The captain mumbles, " It seem we do have a chance for survival" and then urged his men to get to work and work faster.

Back with the others,

They saw that it isn't their friend Alex who dissed out the punishment, but the strongest of their generation. In front of him, everyone except Cynthia and Elsa have subconsciously lowered their head accepting his supremacy.

The two girls haven't lowered their head like others but refrained from meeting his eyes.

Bill recovered from his shock and asked, "And the aftermath?"

" I am someone under The Oak Laboratory. It has three former champion trainer with another champion level pokemon ranger under it.

I don't think they will try anything against that sleeping behemoth. Although I have never used their name even once since I travelled," He rises from his seat and went to the window theough which he can see the people lazing around on their chairs, children playing in the pools with pokemons, others eating or drinking by the pool, his eyes burnt with vigour " but in this situation I will not hesitate to do anything I can to preserve this peace."

He have experienced the Badlands and know what that hell is. He will not let a hell like that descend here, so he is even more determined than he was in the tide.

His words brought confidence in them. Although they are strong but the times like this can make anyone hesistant and fearful. With Alex actions the original panic they have subsided with confidence they have in their bones returning full force.

Alex turns to Bill and asked," So what are our forces strength and their strength?"

Bill hesistates for some moment and then stated, " The coming Pokemon seize composes of at least five psuedo king pokemons along with thirty to forty Elite Pokemons and more than a few hundred advanced Pokemons.

These are mostly water type Pokemons with their dual type of flying, ice, poison, electric , ground and other types.

We have confirmed with psychic sensors that they all are water types."

They nodded their head on hearing this. But their facial expressions isn't good.

Five Psuedo king pokemons meant they are f_u_c_k_e_d up. Alex have three psuedo king with Cynthia having another, yet they cannot say they can deal with five of them.

There are also multiple elite Pokemons which are the main decisive factor. They aren't in a defensive position so if the Elite Pokemons penetrate the defence line they erect then they are doomed.

Alex and Cynthia can hold back the psuedo king but elite Pokemons can cause significant damage.

As for the advanced, they aren't in their eyes. They can deal only hold back elite and advanced. The others have to deal with this group if they wish to live.

" And what are our strength, Bill?" Lucian asked.

Bill is a very nervous now. " This.. our situation isn't so good."

" How bad are we?" Cynthia inquires wishing to know the exact situation.

" We have less only two master trainers, such as Alex and Cynthia, while the advanced trainers are about ten including you all and the captain. And finally the intermediate trainers are only Seventy in number."

When they heard this, everyone has only one thing running through their mind, " Evacuation."
