chapter 52: Problems in the Corp

Nidoking with the entire force of the tide was running towards the town. He had clashed with the powerful thunder just now and knew it was a declaration of war from the other side.

They are ready for the final clash. And he knew that this clash will be the decisive battle of the war. Whoever wins this round will be the true winner.

He roared loudly towards the sky calling forth all the pokemons in the tide and get ready for the fight.

His roar lasted for a few seconds but it sent goosebumps to the troops on the opposite side.

In reply to this roar, the dark sky began to give out rumbling sounds signifying that electabuzz is ready to face whatever force that he is sending.

The clash of two powerhouses woke every sleeping person and pokemons around the area. These earlier clashes makes the people aware that something big is about to happen.

In the North Base Camp,

Jim was startled by the changing weather and the dark clouds in the sky and the thunder falling towards the opponent made him feel that reinforcement has arrived.

Then came Jean who was breathing heavily.

" Jean, what happened? Does the captain require me to do anything?"

She stood in front of him for a few seconds catching her breathe and then said," Captain ordered you to prepare all the troops who are capable for fighting and arrive at the Frontline as soon as possible. "

" What Happened? Is something big happening out there?" As he was curious as to what happened.

" The third Pseudo king is discovered. The Captain thinks that dragging longer would only put us in jeopardy so he decided that the final clash should start now." She answered

" But what about the third Pseudo king, did the Town Hall send in reinforcement to deal with it?"

" Captain will deal with it, himself. He told me to be prepared and stay away from the battle of the big guys so that there aren't any unnecessary casualty."

" How big is the restricted zone?"

" It is a hundred metre radius around. But for safety reasons stay at Three hundred metres because the third one is a ground type pseudo king." Jean answered while Jim just nodded and his face was serious.

He turned around and shouted," Get up all you maggots. There is a war going on and all of you are sleeping. Wake up. New orders have arrived. we have to get into the sky in five minutes or else you all will be served as pokemon feed to your own pokemons."

This had done the job and all of them frantically ran back and forth and started to prepare.

Jean has long since left and started to notify other groups to prepare for the fight.

Daisy has arrived at the Frontline command which was headed by Gold. She told him to prepare for fight but he was still reluctant to do so.

" Why do you send all forces out for battle? We still need some people to defend the base and other things.

How did the captain know all of them are going to attack now. Currently only some clashes are happening all round us. There still some time before the final clash. I have gone through many tide before and know how they will react?" Gold told her condensing

" Indeed. We don't know if it will really happen. We can't take the risk. In any case if there is an error, we would lose this front and the other fronts will have to protect them from their sneak attack too. " Another said.

" It is too risky. Why didn't Jean or Jim try to convince him. Although he is the captain, we have to take note of the overall situation. "

Daisy wasn't willing to lose and still said," But the captain said that he has already made sure of the defense. We have to only look at the front and take care of offense.

If we don't do it now, then the casualty would be even greater and this is necessary to preserve life."

" And, what is this protection that Captain talk about? How do we know that it is strong enough. And above all, when we can drag and win the war then why should we change our tactics.

I know the casualty will be more but we will win. And that's all what matters. We will not do as he say. We will stay here and do what we think is correct." Gold said strongly.

He had noticed that the captain hasn't joined the battle himself and only let his pokemons fight. This shows that he was weak mentally and although he will be angry he won't take any action now.

Even if he did, the trial will most probably be in his favour as his plan has a greater chance of success than Alex's.

This gave him confidence and inspired by him, all the other occupants of the room decided to defy him.

They know that he is strong but they thought if they stay United, he won't target them and they will be safe.

Seeing that they weren't listening, she headed for Alex to report.

As she arrived, she saw that second Lieutenant Jim was by his side and they were discussing something. His presence meant that his flying column was ready and will be in action as soon as they are ordered.

She arrived and the sound of her footsteps brought their discussion to a halt.

Jim happily greeted her and said," Jean since you are here, then Gold is arriving soon. So how long till they arrive here "

His words stopped her in mid step and she tried to say," umm.… Umm.….T….th.….heeee. " She tried to start and say but she didn't know how.

Her stuttering made Alex feel something happened and he said strongly," What happened there, Daisy? I need to know it now."

She looked at Alex's grave eyes and narrated everything that happened.

The other officer cadets and Jean has arrived while she was narrating the incident and everyone was angry with the words of Gold.

" How dare he disobey? Does he not know the longer we act as Squirtle shell there will be more casualties?" Jim thundered.

" He is too confident since he become the commander of Frontline and thinks we cannot do anything." Jean said while grinding her teeth.

" There is a big battle up front. We need to be prepared. If we have problems among ourselves now it will affect the link of army. " Barthelomew said

Alex was becoming more and more emotionless with every words of Daisy and Daisy didn't move her eyes from Alex since his words would decide the outcome.

Alex has made the decision," Slowking I want all of them in front of me in a minute. I don't care how you do it, I want them here kneeling." His words were ice cold and all the people around shuddered.

They knew that he was angry. Very angry. And anyone who interrupted him will suffer his anger.

How will Alex deal with the misfits before the final battle? stay tuned.
