167 chapter 47 : aerial battle preparation (1/2)
Next day,
The tide has arrived and all the abled people are currently at the Frontline. Alex too has left the office and arrived at the Frontline. He hasn't joined the battle personally but his Pokemons has joined the battle.
Golbat, Pidgeotto and vespiqueen has started to give aerial support. They only help the other people while providing support when needed.
He let them preserve as much energy as they could because the battle will be long. Onix meanwhile took care of the underground burrowing Pokemons to prevent them from by passing the defense line.
Alex was really busy now and couldn't get even a bit of time to breathe. He was getting emergency message as well as casualty report from the north front and had to provide help and reinforce people wherever the need was.
Even with Jean and some other people's help, he still couldn't handle the things in time as he was on lookout for the main force of the tide,ie, the pseudo king pokemons.
Who knows when they will arrive. The tide has reached the town wall about six hours ago and they all have been working continuously since then.
This is tiresome especially for Alex who has never faced such conditions. And not to mention, the calls of the mayor every hour to know if they needed help or request to reinforce certain places was irritating.
Soon Slowking by Alex's side sensed something and opened his eyes while waking out of the makeshift tent out of town, where the new command center of the base was situated.
This attracted Alex attention and he left everything and followed him outside.
Jean who was surprised by this said to Alex,” Sir, there are still many things to look at. The traps and pitholes did manage to slow down the charge of the tide but this doesn't mean our troubles have ended.
We still need to keep sending medicines and weapons to the other fronts to face them and the distribution should be enough so they could last for a longer time instead of their stock ending in a moment.” While following Alex to get him back to work.
The surrounding people just glanced at them and then went back to their work.
Alex ignored her calls from the back and asked,” What is it that you find, Slowking?”
He just pointed to the dense cloud heading towards them. It was nighttime so they couldn't properly see what it was, but Alex saw it clearly.
It was a very big group of flying types heading for the town. Since the beginning of the tide, only occasional flying pokemons attacked but after the sunset the intensity of their attacks increased.
Now, we know what was going to happen. They are using the cover of the night sky to attack the camo and cause greater damage.
” Jean, call Jim now. I need to talk to him.” Alex shouted at Jean.
She was perplexed but seeing his expression she did as he asked.
” Hello it is the command base. Call second lieutenant Jim immediately. The captain wants to talk to him now.” Jean dialed at Jim's place.
” Command center, Second lieutenant is busy. Is there anything important. Tell me, I will pass it to the second lieutenant.” The person who picked the call answered.,” If not then can you can later, we are busy.”
Alex was angered that his order was ignored and he took the radio in his own hand and shouted angrily,”I am the captain speaking. Call your commander now or I will feed you to the Rattata out there.”
Hearing the angry shouts of the captain , he ran towards his commander Jim and called him back.
He reached Jim and wanted to talk to him.
” What did you call me for? Don't you know I am busy? Why did you call me now?” Jim thundered at him
He was saddened. Both second lieutenant Jim and captain Bart was angry at him and he was scolded by both.
