174 chapter 49: Aerial battle part 2 (1/2)

In the sky,

Beedrill sent pin missile at them but Pidgeot's gust stopped it and sent it towards them. The leaders of different pokemon species dodged the attack but the ones behind them weren't fast enough.

The pin missile was sharp enough to Pierce through them and kill them. These pin missile took down seven victim which included pidgeotto, Spearow, fearow and zubat.

This attack was the signal and soon they all started the attack.

Claydol used gravity on the flying pokemons and most of them lost balance and started to fall down. Butterfree and Golbat used psychic and air blade to put an end to the Pokemons.

Since Alex's pokemons were in advantage at long range attack so they decided to go short range and few towards them.

The stronger Pokemons were able to overcome the increased gravity easily and so they targeted claydol to ease pressure on others.

Claydol kept sending rock shards at the incoming pokemons, vespiqueen was in defense mode to protect her companions from attack. She kept sending combee out for attack and defense.

Her confuse ray as well as air slash were a disaster for the flying Pokemons.

Golbat used his poison as well as confuse ray to disrupt the Pokemons and take them out along with butterfree who used stun spore and psychic on her foes.

Meanwhile pidgeot and pidgeotto were holding back Beedrill. They often rush towards the foes when it was preparing to attack with bug attack and used their number as cover.

Even though the Beedrill was fast, it wasn't faster than pidgeot and pidgeotto.

They dodged the attack and used sneak attack against the stronger foe. Whenever their wound becomes severe, vespiqueen would use heal mode to heal the couple.

Their task was to drag the Pokemons for the arrival of reinforcements but because of Beedrill the Pokemons responsible for stopping them was reduced.

This is why Alex called Jim. The pseudo king Beedrill has disrupted the initial plan of his so he needed Jim at arrive as soon as possible.

The walls of the town was equipped with arrows which has explosive attached on them. Although not powerful enough to severely injure elite level Pokemons, it was still deadly for weaker ones.

Alex had Jean tell the artillery wing on the wall to target the Pokemons who are in cluster. This way they won't target his Pokemons and they can easily dodge the arrow.

Of course when they see the reinforcement arriving they have to stop the attack so they don't hurt the flying column by mistake.

The arrows was sent flying from the wall and when they collided with a pokemon, it exploded. This explosion attracted the attention of everyone fighting on he field and they saw the aerial battle in the sky.

Jim and his flying column who had been airborne saw that Alex's Pokemon has held back most of the Pokemon while pidgeot and pidgeotto were keeping Beedrill busy. It made them more confident in their victory since they have a strong captain leading them.

Jim tried to use it to increase the morale of his flying column and said,” Men, look forward. Captain Alex's six Pokemon can hold back so many of flying Pokemons and so few could by pass the defense.

They are tired and worked hard to buy us time to arrive and protect the base from aerial attack.

Let's pay the debt and eradicate the Invaders. he ended with a shout full of confidence.
