When Alex introduced himself to the second Lieutenant, the lieutenant went to a state of shock upon hearing it.

In this Pokemon riot, the zone commander would be responsible for the life and death of nearly forty thousand (40000) people, not including the civilians who reside just behind the town wall.

Their life and death depends on him. The total population of the town is nearly five million or else the league wouldn't place a master trainer who could become a Major or even Lieutenant colonel after a few years of service in a town.

The sheer amount of disregard for the lives of the people residing within the walls of Sky town was astounding to the second lieutenant.

He kept looking at Alex surprised. Alex knew that the lieutenant was probably in a shock with him being the zone commander. He himself was shocked at first but quickly got over it and decided to go with it.

He knew Agatha and Professor Oak. Although they have appointed him as the leader of a section of defense, it doesn't mean they haven't thought of countermeasures in case he wasn't up to the par.

And Xatu was one of the countermeasures. Anyway, it is better for him to get acquainted with his temporary followers or subordinates .They are his direct subordinates and their support will make sure the troops at grassroot level will follow his command too.

" You still haven't Introduced yourself, Second lieutenant?" Alex asked the floating man

He tried to move his mouth to speak but couldn't. Alex looked at him perplexed about why he wasn't answering his questions after all in the military, orders of the superior is absolute and cannot be violated or else, he or she will be presented in front of the military tribunal and their trial will be carried out. And according to the laws of the military they would be punished.

And in most of these cases, the accused is punished severely. Hence most of the military personnel has innate fear for the military tribunal.

Then his eyes fell on the resting Espeon on his feet. Although she is fully healed physically, she still has some mental tiredness from facing Mismagius's illusions.

She is trained under mew and Alakazam along with help from Xatu and Slowking to subconsciously use psychic while resting, so she didn't hear Alex asking the Lieutenant to speak and has still kept the person floating and his body parts locked.

He bent on his knees and gently woke up Espeon. She tiredly woke up and looked at Alex. " Girl, I need to talk with him so can you free him?"

" Esppp…" she said and freed him. The lieutenant fell on the ground on his bum after being freed from the psychic.

Meanwhile, the lieutenant was uncomfortable with having such a young superior and wanted to protest but the thought of military tribunal stopped him on his tracks.


" You are too tired. You rest well. We have a big fight ahead and I need you at your best " saying that he gave her a psychic cube and then let her rest on the floor.

He then looked at the fallen lieutenant and said," Now that you are free, please introduce yourself." While taking his seat at the main chair.

The second lieutenant overcame his stutter and shock and replied while giving Alex an armed force military salute,( his right-hand palm facing the target of salute: each land, air, and naval forces have different salute).

" I am Jim Thompson, Second lieutenant of the 65th infantry force of Kanto, Sir." He stood in front of Alex with absolute attention and salute without moving an extra muscle.

" Good morning, lieutenant Jim. You can be at ease. "

Hearing the order, he let go of his attention position but still looked serious while listening to his superior.

" I am Captain Alex Bart. I am awarded the title of the Captain for the duration of the Pokemon Tide. I have been declared as the North Zone commander of the Sky Town so from now on you will listen to me.

Also, I have been given a special authority of not being under the central command of the town council( comprising the town mayor, gym leader and captain of the town guard) so their orders are optional for me.

But my orders to you aren't such. I hope you can fulfill my command, of course, if you have some doubts regarding them you could ask me about some clarification and reasoning behind such orders.

Also, summon all the military personnel who are under my command. Sorry, not all. Call forth the other second lieutenant under my command along with the Officer Cadets.

I will introduce myself to them. As for the rest, I will introduce myself later after a plan for this scenario is made. You may leave now."

Hearing the order, Second lieutenant Jim saluted once again and was leaving. He opened the door and proceeded to leave the room.

Suddenly Alex stopped him on his course," Wait. I forgot to tell you something. Bring along the blueprint of the north section of the town, from the roadways to the sewer lines along with the short passages between buildings.

I also want the topographic map of the areas around the North Wall too so that certain things could be done.

I want all of them in front of me within an hour. Being these items as soon as possible so I could study them before their arrival. In this time I will look over the things I have got in the desktop." Saying this, he diverted his attention to the desktop.

Alex felt someone looking at him and saw Jim still waiting. " What are you waiting for? The Pokemon Tide? Or Arceus himself to show you the way?

Now get going, we don't have enough time." He said harshly.

And the second lieutenant dashed off to complete his task.

Alex just sat there thinking what his next course of the plan will be. He needed to intimidate the next group of people with his Pokemon to let them follow him efficiently.

The only pokemon he could use here in a closed room for intimidation as a show of power would be electabuzz, Haunter, piloswine, Snorlax or claydol.

These pokemons are known for their power and only follow skilled trainers or trainers who they have followed for years and have a strong bond.

He decided on using Claydol. Electabuzz and Haunter still needed rest. Piloswine would affect the temperature around and make people suspect that the attack has begun and will cause unnecessary problems.

As for Snorlax, he would be sleeping now and if he is woken up rudely, he may begin a rampage and cause problems.

So claydol will be his weapon of intimidation. All that needs to be done is create the most effective plan to survive or at least withstand the invasion. And let the reinforcement from other fronts help them win.

Alex doesn't think he is smart enough to lead his forces to victory and he doesn't consider himself a strategist.

How will Alex handle the next group subordinates of his and what plan will be made to face the invasion? Stay tuned
