140 chapter 22 : North Base (1/2)

” So from now on, I am one of the four Zone Commander of the Sky town who is tasked with the security of the town from the upcoming pokemon tide.” Alex declared.

Alex was eyeing everyone from the mayor to the town official to the advanced trainer to see anyone disagree with him. Yet none came out to object and say that they disagree.

Although they might disagree to this decision, they won't dare to directly say it. They will keep it close to their heart.

” Now that the problem of my post has been solved can I ask what direction I will be posted and what is the general topography of that area and it's surrounding one kilometers radius area?” Alex asked the mayor. Since he was the only one except the captain to hold such an important document.

” Yes, we will send it to you. But we first want to know which direction you could take on.

On North and South direction there is forest, in the west we have Mountain ranges where many rock types reside and in the east is also has dense tree covering but a little bit ahead there is a river.

So we came to a conclusion that on the north and south direction we will have majority of grass type pokemons, from West there will be rock and ground types and in the east there might be water type majority.

Other types of Pokemon may join too but their number will be much less than the grass, rock and water type in their respective areas.”

Alex thought that for grass type, he had Pidgeot, Charmeleon, marill, Pidgeotto, Slowking, Espeon and Piloswine. These could give devastating damage to the pokemons in the north and south direction.

For rocks and ground, he lacks water, ice, grass and fighting type pokemons who have type advantage.

Although he won't lose, he would have unnecessary casualty. Especially from the explosion and self destruction of the pokemons.

Electabuzz, Ivysaur and marill can be at advantage. This type is a tricky one as the water source would be their safe garden and they can often heal themselves there and once again initiate the attack. And it will be difficult especially for a first time commander.

So the most advantageous place for him would be the North and South direction.

” I would like north and south direction.”

” And why would you like these positions?” Asked Terrence the gym leader.

” I have Pidgeot, Slowking, piloswine and Charmeleon. Their attacks are effective against grass type and I could last longer there. Also if there isn't any pseudo king pokemons attacking from that direction then I could even hold back the pokemons there.” He said confidently.

His confidence was taken as over confidence by most but captain Bolt saw the amount of confidence he had on himself and asked ,” what makes you be so confident?”

He simply replied,” I have a Snorlax.”

” I see”

Snorlax defense was Legendary and his stamina was also something worth fearing. As long as he wasn't too outnumbered or outmatched, he would not be defeated easily.

But their appetite made them a very expensive Pokemon and so they were much used in battle.

” Tsskk... Rich brat” one of the trainer grumbled

Alex pointedly ignored it and looked at the decision maker Mayor Flinn. ” Fine, you will the north zone commander. All the information and supplies for that area will be given to you. Is there anything else?”

” No, everything is fine ”

” Then captain send a second lieutenant to him with all the things about the forces there along with various orders and task requirements there.” Said to captain bolt

And then to Alex ”He will take you to the north base camp do you could get yourself acquainted with your troops. ”
