136 chapter 18 - Decision of the league (2/2)

” They have decided to make Alex Bart of Floral Town one of the four main commander of the Defense Force and he will be leading a frontier at the pokemon tide. He is also rewarded temporary captain of the army.” the official answered emotionlessly.

This decision shocked all the participants in the room. To have an eleven year old lead a regiment was too much, much less asking him to be the leader of the whole area.

The four main commanders are main protectors who protect the town from attacks in the four cardinal direction. One direction was protected by one master trainer and Alex would be an off one out in this case.

” Are you joking? Letting an eleven year old lead an army in life death situation. Do you not care for the life of these men?” Captain Bolt roared at the official.

The official wasn't affected by their anger and smoothly replied,” This is the command of the Elite four and it must be inforced. To make sure this decision is followed and he doesn't become a puppet leader” hearing it all of them flinched,” they sent out a Xatu ” which teleported in front of them .

” He will report back if you make a fool of the league decision and don't follow the orders. The league will send more medical supplies and arms and as for fighting support, they think you got ample protection.”

” And what about Alex?”

” This scenario is used as a learning experience for Alex Bart due to his exceptional skills and league doesn't care if you live or die. As for his protection, he can protect himself and if he can't then he would be sent away from the battlefield quickly.

league has made preparation for his protection way before you sent notice. His safety is of Paramount importance and far surpass what you can imagine. ” He said

Soon the phone was turned down and the joy from getting new support went down the drain. They were shocked that they would make such a decision.

Soon in a bright flash, a Xatu appeared in front of them. It just looked at them for a while and then handed the gym leader a letter. It said:

' Don't think you could trick us and use him to get more support. There are multiple towns in Kanto which suffer from raid. You are nothing special. The only reason we even considered your request was because he was a young Trainer and will face his first tide.

After the decision with his teacher, we decided that it will be used as a teaching material for his leadership and strategic skills along with some others he may require in his journey. And the extra support would only be granted if his sector couldn't hold back the invasion.

Other than that don't expect any support from us. And don't even ask about more support. Our hopes for him is way higher than you even imagine . And you don't need to protect him or anything. He will lead and protect himself.

If our orders are not carried out, it wouldn't need the pokemon raid to eradicate the town and people . We can do it ourselves.

- Fire Elite Blaine. ”

And with this threat the letter ended. After reading it, the letter began to burn courtesy of Xatu.

Soon, one of the advanced trainer shouted,” How could they play with the life of so many people? Letting a kid become a leader?”

” I know he is strong but to lead is something else. He can't be allowed or the losses will be astronomical.” Another added.

” Quiet” said gym leader Terrence. ” Do you think you can disobey the league's order. They even sent this Xatu to make sure their orders are carried out.

And do you think they would care if our town was destroyed. The only reason we were considered by the top official was because of his presence. Now instead of getting support we become training practice for Alex.

For them, we all are expendable and this Xatu was transported here because if things go south, he would save him, isn't that part of your orders?” He looked at xatu.

Xatu didn't hide and nodded that it was given this mission.

What will they do after hearing this order from the top? Stay tuned
