136 chapter 18 - Decision of the league (1/2)
” Alex's electabuzz which was at elite peak before and has reached pseudo king under the extreme high pressure from Gengar.” Samuel elaborated.
” It was really a blessing in disguise. And to think he could reach this level at such a young age. He has already surpassed all the people of his generation with this.
Only the type disadvantage electabuzz has to the dragon ground type, Gabite who is also at peak elite strength has let Cynthia remain the current strongest Trainer of their generation.
But if it is a complete six on six, Alex might have a chance to seize her throne .” Agatha narrated.
” Alex currently have a pseudo king electabuzz, two elite peak pokemons- Slowking and a shiny Pidgeot, initial elite like Snorlax and Piloswine and finally advanced peak are Haunter, Charmeleon, Butterfree, Espeon, Onix,.
These ten have made sure that he remains in top three of his generation without a problem. And there might be other powerful pokemons with him we don't know about.While others are still at younger forms and could at least reach advanced peak by the time of Pokemon league tournament.
So tell me with these many strong pokemons, Alex need our additional protection. ” Samuel said
They remained quiet for sometime and then one said,
” No if what you said is true then we don't need to send extra people.” Blaine said
” I think it would be better to let Alex too lead a Corp in the battle. It would be a good practice for his leadership skills, handling crowds, dealing with miscreants without violence, mentality as well as his strategy. And if things do go south, he could handle things with his power.” Samuel suggested.
Hearing this put all the elite four under some serious thoughts but later they agreed. They never mentioned the amount of people who may lose their life if Alex gives a wrong command. For them even sacrifice of thousands wasn't anything great if the town could be preserved.
Although it seemed cold hearted, these five felt if the sacrifice of the hundreds can help them create a champion level trainer who may protect Kanto from internal and external threats for decades than it is affordable. The lost population can be overcome in a decades time and all will be done.
” But I don't think they will agree to do so easily.” Fiona said.
” Indeed. Even if we order them, they will behave like they followed our orders but willmake him a puppet leader. and someone else will govern things in the Corp.
They will feel we just want to grant him honor and prestige so he will be the head but only nominal and none if the skills you mentioned above would be tested.” Roan said
” We could have one of our pokemons be with Alex so we would be informed about it. I will even send my Xatu there. This way they won't know the true level of protection and care we put on Alex. He will make sure they don't play tricks with us and he would be protected from danger in case things go south. ” Samuel said.
” Ok. But about the Badlands?” Fiona said softly.
” I will have no further discussion about this topic anymore and my decision won't change. Alex Bart will spend a week in Badlands before the league tournament or I will cancel his qualifications.
And you know that I can do this. Don't judge a genius with the vision of average people, they are extraordinary . You would only hamper his growth if you compare him with common people.
He faced me and lost badly . Even then he didn't consider me an unsurmountable mountain, for him I am just a steep hill difficult to scale but not impossible. So don't ruin him with your care. ” Samuel said and then sent his pokeball to the elite four.
Blaine took the pokeball and released the future seeing pokemon Xatu. Samuel then told his entire plan to Xatu and he agreed. Him and Alakazam often guided Slowking, Espeon and butterfree in their psychic powers so he was close to Alex too.
With the task of protecting Alex he won't neglect a single detail. Also to make sure that Alex is elected as a commander and he is not fooled.xatu agreed to keep notes and keep them all up to date.
After the final decision was made, they all sent their decision to the original official. It took nearly an hour for the final decision to be made.
Now the official dialed the mayor Flinn who heard the rings picked up the phone. Currently there were the trio master trainers and the other advanced trainers except Alex in the room.
” Hello, I am the official from the league HQ and want to convey you the decision of the higher ups.”
” Yes sir, what did they decided?” He asked happily thinking that the league will provide more support and their town will not be raged to the ground.
