296 Chapter 28

Bill just shook his head. " We need to travel through the Pokemons if we need to land on an island within an hour, as for any other one is more than two hours away."

Julius was in deep thoughts and something clicked which made him stand up excited , " We can use the communication on the ship to ask for help."

Bill gave him a stupified look while others just shook their head. Elsa was the one who said what was in everyone's head, " The communication is down isn't it."

Bill nods, " I am a scientist. If I am in that situation, I will contact for help first, but surprisingly all our devices to connect to the world is down. Nothing is working. "

"So the Pokemons are led towards us, by the secret backhand. " Alex analysed it for everyone.

" Who can do that? This is a trap especially for us. If this situation is spread out then any force involved will be exterminated to the ground. The league won't let them be."Lucian said with sharp eyes.

With the status of people here in this ship, the destruction of anyone related to this incident will be their future.

Unlike others who are miffed about this incident, Alex just laughs and said, " Because we all are here, so anything that happens to us can cause serious damage to the league.

Cynthia, Elsa and I are the top of our regions. If all of us die here, then the objective of the force behind it is reached. The death of others is just a consolation for them. So I think they may have manipulated the oceanic Pokemons."

When he said that something clicked in Cynthia's mind and she said, " My grandma warned me that there might be some problems during our Ruin exploration in the Fire Paradise island.

They may have discovered our presence in this ship and are targeting us to see our strength. Even if we win this battle, they may get our Intel and our situation at that time, will be bad." This dawned on everyone's face. Their expression turned bizarre, after hearing her but when Elsa looks at her friend and secret crush object, Alex.

He didn't seem affected by this discovery and was calm all along. He seems to have already thought of this. This run through her mind.

" We cannot show our full strength." Lucian said with a heavy expression on his face.

" But many innocents will die as a result." Julius countered. They have each other different reasons why they were right. The one who can give a call to their decision were quiet, thinking about the most ideal plan.

Alex couldn't stay quiet for long.

" We will be holding back our complete strength. Except for some Pokemons whose strength are revealed in public, we will not use our unknown Pokemons for this battle.

" But what about the Innocents?" Cynthia asked weakly although she was fully aware they have more or less abandoned them.

" You will be an elite four and even a champion in the future, Cynthia. You cannot let your emotions get the better of you and affect your judgement.

Although it is cruel, it is the only way we can deal with them while getting back at the true criminals behind these sinister plans. " He said with a heated look showing he won't accept any further discussion on this topic.

" But they ..." Cynthia cannot give up just like that.

" Then become strong. Become so strong that you shouldn't just give up on some people for the greater good. Become strong so you can protect everyone." Alex told her and didn't say anything else.

These words were enough to calm her down. She understood the root cause of the death of many people in the future. It was because they were too weak so they cannot save eneryone.

While everyone thought about Alex's words, his mind was running towards Blue and Green.

He thought to himself, ' It seems they know something like this may happen and he sent out both of them. This way the Pokemon herd can be curtailed and we will be protected from them if necessary.

We aren't in any life and death situation but they will pay for playing with the lives of so many people.' he promised not only to himself but also everyone in the ship.

He seem to forget that the Kanto elite four too played with the life of million of people when they let Alex serve as the Commander of the North Garrison force of the Sky Town.

" So what is our plan of action?" Bill asked breaking the depressing silence which have fallen on everyone.

It was Lucian who started. He gave what he thought was the best while others used it as a benchmark and made changes according to it.

Alex has decided to hide his shiny Pidgeot, Gengar and tentacruel for this fight.

He will use his electabuzz, Snorlax, Slowking, gyarados, Espeon, Golbat, Piloswine, poliwrath ( poliwhirl evolved using the water stone he was rewarded), kirlia as well as Gallade for this battle. He has Pikachu and Swablu for his protection.

He sent back dratini( he was very reluctant to leave), Horsea and Togepi back to the ranch through his Slowking. Slowking arrived there when Mew sent him message about their current problem.

Alex also informed the league about their ordeal by this method, without telling anyone. If they know it they will relax which is not conducive in times like these.

With Piloswine and Ninetails combination they have decided to freeze the few hundred metre area around them, so they have a platform to fight. They can battle without affecting the ship's condition and damaging it too severely in the battle.

They made plans until it was time for the martial law and the information about the arriving sea Pokemons to all the passengers.

The captain through the intercom in the ship have announced the I'll fate which awaited them, and requested the trainers to assemble in the deck.

He never once mentioned about his their communication lines are jammed and they cannot request any reinforcement because of this. Or else they will try to escape instead to trying to help and survive this ordeal together.

The group of six also joined the other trainers but unlike them they stood in the dier with the captain and looked over the couple hundred trainers and sailors assembled together.

Before the war, it is necessary to inforce the trainers about the chain of command and how others should be fulfilled as well as the consequences they might cause.

They also need to know the pecking order of the armed force or they often forget about everything in their arrogance and cause great damage to the formation.

Captain of the S S Smith has thanked the group of gathered trainers to be brave enough and protect the passengers with their life. Although it is more like these people with she to fight do their chances of survival is higher than the passengers if the Pokemon breach the barrier.

Captain after saying this, stepped back and let Alex handle the rest of the matters. In situations like this an experienced and powerful person who has been invincible so far can grant much confidence than any other person.

It is applicable for the Captain and even Alex's friends.

Alex who has his Slowking out, walked forward and started to address the men to join their heart together and battle as one.
