Pokemon: A Mystical Journey - Chapter 297
Alex run his eyes through every person standing in front of him and spoke out in the mic which spread his voice not only to the assembled men but also to the passengers and sailors who are in different parts of the ship through the speakers installed everywhere.
He started, ” I am Alex Bart the commander in chief of this defensive seize battle against the upcoming pokemons attack in the middle of the sea.
Some of you may know me from my battle in the tournament and others may have never heard of me. I am here to tell you only one thing.
You have been assigned position regarding the information we possessed about you, and will be tasked to complete your mission and objectives. You will…”
Before he can continue, some people shouted out from the crowd.
” You cannot do this to us. “Someone shouted from the crowd.
” We will never follow a kid. We will rather die than put our lives in your hands. ” another joined in support for him.
” Yes, yes, we will never obey you.”
As more continued to join the chorus, Alex’s friends and captain were anxious about the current situation they were in.
Before they can come forth and give their support to Alex, he has already acted, ” Since you believe you have rather die than follow me, then I will grant you your wish.”
He turns to Slowking and said, “Eradicate them.”
His words were too shocking for anyone to give him a reply or any response. As for Slowking it acted on his trainer’s command and targeted the people he wished to eliminate.
Slowking’s eyes glowed blue and the targeted people flew in the air through psychic.
They were then impaled right in the penal point of their head with a water spear, ending their life completely.
This display was shocking to everyone, especially his friends who never thought he would kill someone just because they disobeyed him or questioned him.
His earlier calm and collected eyes now we’re smothering hot with anger which showed he isn’t willing to take anyone’s shot at this moment.
” The martial law has been imposed and in this current situation anything and everything that can cause discontent and chaos among people will be dealt with absolute contempt.
There shall be no mercy. This is my final warning to everyone. If you disobey again and act like them, ” pointing his fingers to the now dead people, “you will not survive to request justice or have me punished by the league.
As of today, everyone and I mean everyone is a subject under the martial law. The one who can fight will fight and those who cannot will be helping on logistics.
Should you try to let your beastial instincts go wild now, you will be killed just like them irrespective of your position or power you or your family wield outside this cruise ship.” This made many shift uncomfortably under his gaze.
“Thank you.” He said and stepped back to let the captain continue.
The captain then started to divide the men in different groups under the five trainers in front of them.
” You are too harsh. You shouldn’t have killed them ” Cynthia leaned to his ears and said softly.
Alex rubbed his nose when everyone gave him and Cynthia a look, where they acted all lovey-dovey after killing some people.
They both categorically ignored these looks and don’t put much focus on it. He chuckled at her words and said, “Technically, They weren’t innocent. I had Slowking run his psychic scan through them. After deeper invasion of their mental psych it was discovered they are the spies of Angel wings and Devil Horns.
With them dead, we can release the full strength of all our Pokemons without worry, though some Pokemons still need be hidden for the future battles. ”
After hearing this, she understood why he acted like that. This action of his has multiple purpose too.
With Alex killing them in public, shows he and us as a whole will not show any mercy to people who are detrimental to this defensive battle.
Secondly, everyone will understand our seriousness. They will not try to break the order of the cruise ship and wreck havock and chaos.
And finally, this showed the strength of them to their future subordinates. The stronger the commander, the more confidence the subordinates will have for their leader.
At the very least, there won’t be any rebellion or rebellious thoughts going through the minds of these trainers and sailors after seeing this bloody display.
When the captain was narrating the partition of groups, a shrill cry from the air got everyone’s attention. High up in the sky at some distance from the Cruise Ship air Force area, pelliper, swanna and Mantine floated in the air, while coming towards them.
Although not much, they still numbered in a few thousand, which was enough to scare some trainers.
Seeing this some trainers shrieked out in high pitch, as if afraid they will die. Though their thoughts were true, for their chances of survival was too low.
Alex on the other hand didn’t seem affected by their arrival. He threw one of his pokeballs in the air and out came a bipedal yellow and black stripes Pokemon with long tail. It was an electabuzz.
” Deal with these flies and warm yourself up, electabuzz.” Alex ordered his electric and fighting enthusiast Pokemon .
Electabuzz grinned on getting his permission to go all out.
Electabuzz sent out a large thunder in the air. Under the continuous stream of thunder, the sky was covered with dark clouds which seem to course with thunder.
Electabuzz stopped sending the thunder and grinned. The clouds seem to spread far and wide and so did the thunder coursing through it.
When the flying Pokemons reached the range, thunder started to fall on the Pokemons. Under the dual type advantage that electric type have over them, more than a couple hundred Pokemons were burned under the intense attack.
Seeing a single attack of electabuzz taking down at least a quarter of the total attacking Pokemons made everyone look at him and Electabuzz in awe.
The rest of the Pokemon started to fly away and not enter the range of thunder attack. They decided to attack their prey, ie, passenger in the cruise ship.
” So this is the strength of your strongest Pokemon.” Cynthia said in awe about electabuzz strength. As a trainer with Psuedo king Pokemon, she know just how powerful they can be, yet this electabuzz can deal with these many pokemons effortlessly showed the gap the two has.
Electabuzz grinned when Cynthia addressed him as such, but Alex managed to dump cold water in his head. He clarified it to her, ” Strongest Pokemon? He can barely beat pidgeot. If not for the type advantage then he will not have that advantage.”
The announcement which was put to halt once again continued but the trainers gave a look of awe to Alex and his electabuzz.
Bill said proudly , ” your power display just now, helped them become confident of the upcoming battle.”
But Alex doesn’t seem to think like that. He said something which made everyone in their group vigilant for the true battle will come soon. ” They seem to overcome their fright, but the next situation wouldn’t be so calm.”
