298 Chapter 30 (1/2)

Influenced by this atmosphere, the captain was also fine. He doesn't seem to be worried about this.

But, Alex and his group who are warned by Alex about the upcoming chaos seemed to be thinking about it.

” They will target us when we least expect, won't they?” Lucian gazed at the flying Pokemons at some distance.

Julius who thought like this agreed with his opinion and said, ”Do we have a chance of victory?”

” No. With this many passengers we won't have any chance of victory. ” Alex said without a hint of hesistation.

Elsa said agressively with a hiss when Alex said such negative things at times like this, ” But you said we can defeat them. You said we can win this war.”

Alex didn't seem affected by her anger or the aggressive tone she used towards him.

” I never deny that we cannot defeat the Pokemons which will come forward to attack us. But it doesn't mean we will win in the end. ” Alex said without any change in his facial expressions or change in his tone.

Elsa took a deep breath before so she can calm herself. ” Can you please explain what you mean?” Elsa asked after calming down.

” How many passengers are there in this cruise ship, do any of you know it?” He didn't wait for their reply and continued, ” There are about 3232 passengers along with 243 staff members including us.

Of these, less than quarter can survive this entire ordeal. That's how grave our situation is. So tell me can we really win this war?” He asked them this time.

None of them can say that they will win after they heard what the most likely situation will be in this defense battle.

” Can this data or analysis be improved if we go all out?” Elsa asked with Cynthia hopeful that this way they can protect the innocents, but Alex don't want them to have any false hope.

” If we have an elite four level trainer with us then there wouldn't be any casualty. Unfortunately we don't have anyone. So get a hold of yourself and be prepared.

Nothing you, I or anyone here can do to protect the people, and survive this dangerous situation. ” Alex crushed the hope which was rising in their heart.

” We are going to live with their death on our conscience. If you cannot deal with it then head to your room and hide under the bed.

I don't have time to deal with you and protect the people who can be protected at the same time.” Alex said angrily and glared at her.

After giving the group a glare, he walks away with electabuzz and Slowking following behind him.

Alex's friends didn't say anything about his untimely departure for they are coming to terms with the number of people who will die because of the battle and they can do nothing to protect them.

They are suffering from the same trauma Alex felt when he fought in the Pokemon raid, but this time their is much less trauma than Alex's. For he didn't let them lead. Only himself and the captain are the leaders while others are soldiers under their ranks who should follow their instructions.

Although they don't know how Alex protected them before, they still felt a lot of pressure from the deaths which are directly or indirectly related to their actions and inactions.

Alex on the other hand was at the top point of the cruise ship, ie, on the top of radar tower. He looked in the direction the flying Pokemons came from.

Alex seem to let the mask of neutrality fall and punched the radar tower directly in anger.

His aura induced punch put a dent on the strong metallic radar tower. Although he didn't show it to others he was still affected after he analysed how many may die in this battle.

He was the one who gave them confidence to fight this battle and he cannot just act like he felt. As their leader he has to act contrary to what he felt like.

Alex sobbed while his Pokemons looked at him like that. Alex felt something around him so he looked at a particular direction and said,. ” How long are you going to hide, Blue?”

There was no reply until the camouflage fades and Blue with two Alakazam appeared in his vision.
