159 chapter 39 - View about strategy in the world (1/2)

Alex can feel a migraine coming from the words of this Sergeant Jamie. His words ignited the flames of wars in most of the people of this 65th Infantry Corps.

They are now way too enthusiastic and it only served to made them over confident about their strength and felt they can overcome the up coming danger easily.

All of these confident people were the new recruits or officers who have never experienced a single tide in the past and are way too confident about their powers.

The power which was impressive for them was pretty much garbage if someone asks Alex.

Alex knew about Sergeant Jamie because he was a rare ghost specialist. He had Gastly, duskull, Sableye and shuppet.

He is a pretty lucky guy to have so many different ghosts because ghosts are expert in hiding and can be difficult to find let alone catch one.

He even have a Haunter which made him an intermediate trainers and a pretty powerful one compared to his similar age counterparts.

He was even regarded as a prodigy for having so many ghosts and reaching intermediate level in his early twenties. This has inflated his ego and made him too confident.

Many of his colleagues even felt he may be able to gain the general of headquarters rank ( from Brigadier general onwards one is regarded as a general of the headquarter and he is regarded as aimportant person ( VVIP) in many town and cities except for the the cities with the eight main gyms) in the near future.

This is very impressive for a person without any official training and learning about any pokemons. Most of the people in the Pokemon world fall in this category. They aren't many who spend time learning much about the pokemons or they cannot afford to enter a school or educational institutions.

Alex has noticed early on that there aren't many people around in the Pokemon world who would use strategy to win the battle. Many of them just try to use brute Force and destroy their competition.

And even if they use some non attacking moves to gain some edge in their strategy and win more effectively with lesser effort, their plans are too simple and direct.

They don't try to drag the battle or let the enemy follow their own rhythm and then when they have the chance, strike the hammer and eradicate the opponent.

They almost never have a big comprehensive plan to take down the enemy. To combat the enemy,brute Force or type advantage are the only tricks most people use.

As for those who do employ some good strategies, they aren't strong enough and are often crushed by the stronger opponents making the strategies look worthless in front of strength and people don't bother with them.

Even among the elite fours, the smartest one is Agatha and even then she only thinks of a couple of reserve plans and her foresight doesn't exceed more than three or four moves ahead.
