149 Chapter 30 - Plannings (2/2)

” Troops…. Troops troops. I see. So that's what I missed. Indeed, if we think about it we can only implement the plan at a much smaller scale than our previous plan and not many can get benefits from this.” Alex mumbled to himself when he discovered the loophole in the plan.

Armin on hearing his words understood that the new Captain was smart and couldn't be underestimated due to his young age. He has also discovered the loophole he found in the plan.

” What is the problem that you both find here?” The bubblehead psychic specialist, Nora asked.

” Sir, should I explain it or would you do it?” Dr. Richards asked him.

” Since you discovered it first, I think you should explain it,” Alex replied.

” The defect on this plan is the illiteracy of the troops. They aren't educated enough to differentiate between different types of pokemon. They can only distinguish between the type attributes of the Pokemons like flying, grass, electric etc from their attacks and not the types difference we have in theory.

But they can't differentiate between Pidgeot, pidgotto, fearow, or other Pokemon. Each of them has a different weakness. For them they are all just flying types and zapping then with thunder would do the trick.

And before knowing their weakness, one should be able to identify the pokemon. And this is the major problem we have here.” Richards explained

” I still don't understand. The sergeants could still instruct and order the troops during the attack. ” Daisy,the doctor intern experessed her thoughts.

” But how many pokemon do the sergeants know about? How can they distinguish one from the other pokemon? What are their academic qualifications or how much do they really know about pokemon? Can you be sure that you can teach them all about nearly a hundred different pokemon in such a short interval?” Alex asked them.

This time no one answered.

” Before speaking to any of you, I have already thought of the Pokemon which may participate in the Tide and the number reached nearly ninety different species of pokemon.

You only mentioned that ground, bug, flying, normal, rock and grass types but what about the occasional electric type, water type, ice type, fighting type, psychic type and even fire type Pokemon.

Although their number won't be much compared to the other types, they will still be a powerful game changer in the Tide.

We may face fire types such as herds of Ponyta or rapidash, slugma or even magcargo.houndour and houndoom found mainly in the Johto region but they could be here too.

In the pyschic group, there may be Abra line, Hypno line, Mr. Mime, or even grass psychic type Pokemon, exeggcute and exeggutor.

Then there are fighting type of Mankey line, Machop line and tyrogue line and electric type of elekid line, Pikachu line, voltorb and mareep line too.

They themselves number around twenty and we haven't mentioned the more prominent and wide variety of grass, ground, flying and bug type Pokemon.

Are all of you sure that you can know all these pokemon I mentioned and many more?” Alex asked

His answer was the deafening silence of his subordinate. None of them can guarantee that they know all the pokemon he mentioned and there are still many more he didn't mention which may participate in the Tide.Some of the names he spoke were the ones they have never heard in their entire life.

So no one could say he was confident.

Alex's plan has hit a roadblock and how will he overcome this roadblock? Stay tuned
