151 chapter 32 (1/2)

When Alex asked Daisy the assistant Doctor and intern of Dr Armin Richards all the attention and eyes if occupants in the room turned towards her.

” Let's begin with Rattata.”

”Rattata is a small, quadruped rodent Pokemon. Its most notable feature is its large teeth. Like most rodents, its teeth grow continuously throughout its life and must be worn down by gnawing. Rattata has purple fur on its back, and cream fur on its stomach. It has a pair of thin, cream-colored whiskers and a long tail that curls at the tip. Females have shorter whiskers and lighter fur color.

Rattata can live wherever it can find food, which it searches for most of the day. Thanks to its sharp fangs, it is able to eat nearly anything. When it is threatened, Rattata can deliver a powerful bite. Its large teeth are also useful when using its former signature moves, Hyper Fang and Super Fang. Its hardiness lets it live in many environments, although it mainly lives on plains and savannas. Because it reproduces so quickly, a pair of Rattata can quickly colonize anywhere. ” She narrated everything she learned about them at her academy.

” This is something anyone can find just by looking at them and knew about pokemon moves.

As for reproductive ability, bug types and Pikachu can easily match it. They are known for high number of progeny.

What I want to know is how we can beat them down in the most effective and cost efficient way?” Alex said

” This…. I don't know anything else, Sir. This is the theory we were taught at the academy about Rattata.”

” They can learn biting attacks, and are weaker in body skills which is greatly strengthened when they evolved into raticate.

They have an innate skill called ” guts” which can increase their attack power when they suffer from paralysis, poison or even sleep and they know sleeptalk.

Their smaller body makes them easy to maneuver around and the trap holes won't be effective against them.

Only leg hold trap and snare trap are effective against them. They can easily pass by the other traps.

But their numbers can turn many of our traps invalid as these traps can't reduce their number much. I thought of these traps to injure big pokemons as well as some occasional smaller ones.

But for pokemons as small as the Rattata makes many strategies will be null and void.

If we could use some explosion in the middle of their group our attacks would be more effective. What other ways do you have to combat them? ” Alex asked the other people.

” Sir they have sensitive nose so we can irritate them by launching smelly objects in their group.” Said Glynda, the terrain and scout leader.

” It is a good thing. We will be having our main battle by the walls of the town and we would arrange barricade at a hundred metres away from the wall at most.

This way we can take care of many canine. The sharp foul smell would make their attacks disoriented and we can easily take them out.

Also barricade the front of the wall. We will place iron spikes as well as spiky wire barrier around the front line.

This way at least the front line soldiers have some semblance of barrier separating them from the incoming pokemons . Only flying and underground Pokemons would be unaffected from this arrangement.

But we all know that at least 60 to 70 percent of Pokemon would be land travelling and rest will be a combination of flying and underground travelling ones.” Alex elaborated.

” But what should we do about the flying and ground type Pokemons?” Jim, the second lieutenant asked.

” To deal with them I can't think of any equipment or trap which won't be repelled back at us, but I can only think of two ways and whether these can be implemented or not is a completely different thing.” Alex said

” Oh, what is the trick we can use here?” Blake, the fighting specialist asked.

” For pokemons hiding underground, we can use magnitude, earthquake and Earth power to deal with them but most of our own people can be affected and the traps we set up can be destroyed.
