141 chapter 23 - Ranks of the Army (1/2)

Alex was unaware of all the things that happened in the room after he left. Even if he knew, he won't care. He has to worry about how he will let the troops follow someone as young as himself.

This may be the true test. The higher officials knew about the supremacy of the league andscumbling to their desire,but not the common middle class and other people. They think that the world is a shade of white and black.

They think the world center around them and that it is the league's duty to protect all of them and provide the daily necessities.

But they have forgotten what the initial job of the league really was.

In ancient times, instead of regions like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh etc. , there were kingdoms. Every region has tons of kingdom in them each waging war on another for supremacy, territory, people and resources.

And at their time, Pokemon tide existed too.And many kingdoms perished over the course of time, because of them. So the kings at that timel decided to band together and create an alliance of some sort to deal with them.

This was the foundation of the league. The first such alliance happened in Kanto and because of this historical importance, the Headquarters of the league was stationed here.

The Kanto HQ was located near the indigo plateau while the true HQ of the entire pokemon alliance was at Mt. Silver.

The initial alliance gained support over time and slowly with its power, it managed to take control of the lost areas, gaining land and prestige.

Over the course of thousands of years, the league managed to reach its current position. With it's growing power, it became a behemoth which everyone looked up to.

The league after becoming a ruling body has still retained the original objective of preserving mankind but multiple deaths over time made them numb to deaths of people.

Now, these deaths are just a number which they try to reduce . This is cruel but it is the reality. Unless the pokemon are completely subdued or turned extinct, the invasion won't stop.

And both cases are almost impossible to accomplish. Humans have become too depended on the pokemons to allow their extinction. Everything in the daily life of man has one way or the other depended on the pokemons.

As for subjugating them, that's even more improbable. According to him, whatever machine or tech we use to do it would be destroyed by the Legendary pokemons. They will track it down and find everything and everyone participating in its construction.

Then Celebi or even Dialga would send words about the test in the past before it's the creation and then they all will be annihilated uner the wrath of the Legendary. There wouldn't be anything left.

The multiple ancient weapons which the humans developed in the past were just for protection under the image of a Pokemon and they are considered powerful. Their attacking powers was very high yet the Legendary didn't involve themselves because they can't completely destroy the world and it was to protect themselves from external threats.

Pokemons doing so is highly unlikely. They may beat and kill, but cause a complete extinction is not something they will do.

So, the only way left is to slowly domesticate them and with the passage of time, you may be able to get rid of the riots. But it is way too far now.

He followed the second lieutenant to the base camp in the north. There he was guided to his office. Then the second lieutenant then stopped in front of the office and said,” I have been tasked with providing you with all the information about our personnel and supplies but it cannot to be touched by anyone except for the zone commander.

And all these are placed inside the office and safely kept there with a password only known to the zone commander. So we would have to wait until a new Zone commander is selected.”

Alex after hearing headed inside and switch on to the desktop placed himself on the head chair. The lieutenant on seeing this headed forward to stop him but Alex released the now healed up Espeon and asked her to hold him in a spot and prevent him from making any noise.

She used her psychic and levitated him off the ground while also making sure his mouth remained shut. Alex then diverted his complete attention on the desktop and started to search for the files pertaining to the defense of the town. After opening it, a notice appeared requesting him to enter the password.

The mayor has handed him a piece of paper which had the passwaord. The second Lieutenant saw that Alex was doing something on the desktop and tried to free himself. His attempt to shout for help was the only voice which could be heard other than the typing of the keyboard by Alex.

When he typed the password and the folder opened and he saw the number of people under him, their powers, Pokemons, and even their attack proficiency and what tactics they specialize in.

There were aboutthirty thousandintermediate trainer under his command. And these soldiers were divided into low, medium, advanced and peak trainers.

He has two(2) second lieutenants, who has four(4) officer cadet each under them and each officer cadet has five (5) warrant officers. There are eight (8) officer cadet and forty (40) warrant officers in total.

These all constitute fifty(50) and all fifty of them are at peak intermediate level with minute chances of reaching advance trainer.

Each warrant officers command forty sergeants, ie, there are one thousand six hundred (1600) sergeants.

Then there is three corporal who follows the sergeants. These corporals are at mid-intermediate level and have a total population of four thousand eight hundred (4800) trainers.
