189 CHAPTER 69 (1/2)
The battle had ended two days ago on all fronts and everyone could finally be at ease after the Doom clouds floats away from above their heads. Most of the people can finally rest and have a long comfortable nap.
But it isn't time for the leaders of the corps along with the Town's top officials to rest or calm down. Now they are even more busy than during the tide as they are dealing with the aftermath of the attack.
Now it had fallen upon them to make record of the entire Pokemon tide as well as reports of the important battles ( battles between elite level pokemons and above) so that the strength of the trainers could be reassessed and they could be given rewards as an incentive to continue their good work.
They should also send the reports about the death of troops and trainers alike as well as serious wounded people so that they could be granted appropriate pension pertaining to their ranks.
The top brass of the league does that to make sure the town official don't slack. These records cannot be falsified as the Pokemon G-Men cross check the records and if any problems are found, the officials are targeted for deceiving the league.
The officer level troops of the army also make record of the casualties of the corp as well as the recording of important fights.
All the trainers has to send their reports of the bigger fights. This way they could get better rewards from the league after the reports are verified and can be a person of focus that can be cultivated by the league in the future.
Armed forces also had to send reports of the amount of medicines, herbs, weapons as well as arrows were utilised and how much stockpile is still left out.
The Town official on the other hand take record of the damage done to the town, buildings, drainage, streets as well as the casualties of the civilians and how the fight within the town itself go.
The army takes care of matters outside the town wall and The officials takes care of matters within the walls.
Alex being the Captain got stuck in this whirlpool too and he is trying to complete his task as soon as possible.
After deposition of the reports in the town hall, he would return home. He really want to leave this place especially when he learned that pidgeot was gravelly injured during his fight and he had to be teleported back as soon as battle ended.
As his first pokemons, he had a very important place for pidgeot in his heart and he was angry he couldn't just dump all these things and rush to see him.
In the final fight, the entire corp saw the power and destruction that his Pokemon, Slowking and Electabuzz were capable of. This made the troops have more awe and fearful for Alex in their heart.
They know just how easy it was for the captain to deal with them and any semblance of order failure was not even in a mile radius in their mind. The second lieutenant and some of his coharts were lucky enough to perish in the battle so they escaped the questioning, but rest aren't so lucky.
They are currently in the temporary prison waiting for the questions regarding their loyalty to the league and their actions which was akin to treachery.
In the Pokemon world, strength decides everything, whether it is power, Prestige, position or respect.
And the strength demonstrated by his Pokemons showed that he has tons of power under him. His two Pokemons destroyed more Pokemons I just a single day than they did throughout the course of raid.
Suddenly a knock came from the door and with a soft ' enter ', Jean entered the office room.
She had multiple documents on her hands with even more in the hands of other lieutenant and officer cadets.
” SIR, All the reports as well as those of casualties are in the these documents. They also have the approximate number of the pokemons we faced, their level as well as how many escaped after the war ended. ”
Alex remains quiet for a moment and then asked ,” What are the final results of these reports?”
” Sir, we had a total of 60 thousand people fighting of which 15 thousand have died and other 25 thousand are injured. Of these 15 thousand , eight thousand are troops and they didn't follow the appropriate formation designated to them, leading to their early death. Second Lieutenant and some of his coharts have perished too.
In the 25 thousand injured, 18 thousand are troops and they followed the instructions well. Only five thousand among them are severely wounded.
Sir, this result is much better than any other raid report. In those there were about 60 percent death casualties meanwhile we only had 40 percent.
And even then most are trainers who don't follow our orders in the battle. ”
Jim explained.
”And what about the Pokemon reports?”
” Sir, about 150 thousand pokemons fought along side us but only 100 thousand lived and are well.
Of the 50 thousand casualty, 30 thousand died and five thousand are crippled for life, while rest have serious injuries requiring months to heal.
As for the opposing side. We encountered a total of 250 thousand Pokemons. Of these, three pseudo king were faced by your pokemons.” While saying that Jean had expression of awe and respect. Similar experession reflected on others face too.
” There were 1200 elite Pokemons, 95000 advanced pokemons meanwhile rest were of rookie or baby form.
About 50 thousand escaped the battle after your pokemons began to suppress them.”
After the reports ended, Alex stands up and looks at them in their eyes and speaks,” It was nice working with you. You all were deligent and hard working and I cannot ask for a better team in this time of war.
But, you should remember I am only a temporary captain of the corp and after today, you won't be seeing me.” He too a deep breath and finally spoke the words,” I am leaving today.”
” Sir...” They tried to say something but Alex stopped them.
” I am not a member of army. I don't belong in the army. This battle showed and taught me a lot and it will take time for me to come to senses.
I was too proud of myselfbefore this battle and this battle showed how small I was compared in the face of the world. I still have a very long path in front of me.
