26 Plan Part 1 (1/2)
All the parties have started their preparation for their plan. They all were acting according to the plan.
In the room were the trainers were kept
Lorelei was talking to other trainers and was telling them their part of the plan. While she was explaining them their role and when to act, Lance and Alex were discussing something else.
” Why didn't you become the leader instead of Lorelei?” Lance asked.
” Of course I could do that but they know Lorelei better than me and we are just new here. Lorelei had stayed here longer so they are more familiar with her. They are more willing to act accordingly but if I tell them that they will probably think I am being selfish or I am favoring someone else over them or something. ” Alex stated while looking over all the people there then continued,” I am not sure that this plan will work. ”
” What ?” Lance shouted . Hearing this, all the trainers in the room looked at Lance strangely. Seeing this Alex softly said,” Keep quiet you idiot. Look how others are looking at us. ” while glaring at Lance.
” Haha don't mind us. He just said something shocking so I was surprised.” Lance explainedeveryone in the room while Lorelei among them looked at Lance suspiciously. they all then went on to their ownpreparation.then said to Alex,” What do you mean this plan won't work. You were so confident earlier. Now where did all your confidence go?” he hissed.
” Do you think I don't want my plan to work. Why did you think I did not include Haunter in the plan. he is our Trump card . And do you think we will be able to take them down with just these Junior trainer while our weakest enemy is Intermediate level. No matter how we think we are at a disadvantage . ” Alex explained.
”Then what do we do? Why did you not tell Lorelei about this ?” Lance asked curiously.
” A leader can lose his confidence. If I told her that do you think she could act accordingly. She seem like she couldn't control her emotions. ” Alex said and staring sharply at Lance said emotionlessly ,” A herd of mareep is headed by a shepherd. They are just cannon fodder. They don't have any value except for increasing the number. The plan mostly depend on us to succeed. They all including Lorelei are sacrificial pieces.”
Lance after hearing this , looked shocked and asked him angrily while holding him by his collar,” How could you do this? Do you know how many of them could die in this plan? How could you consider the life so cheap.”
They started a staring contest among themselves neither willing to back down. Since they were behaving quietly no one saw their acts.
Alex then turned towards the trainers and stated,” Look at them what do you see?”
Lance followed Alex field of vision and then curiously said,” What do you mean? What is there to look at?”
” When we met them earlier they were miserable and looked dull but now their eyeshave hope and are vibrant. Now they once again have a bit of hope for freedom. Do you want me to destroy that bit of hope they have now?” Alex once again asked.
” Ooof course not.i didn't mean that ” he strutted then continued,” But that does not mean you could just do that.”
