chapter 27 : Disciplining Subordinates

Seeing that, their captain Alex banged his head on the table hard, made all of his temporary subordinates of Alex jump back in shock and fright.

Alex has kept his head on the table while thinking about how he was going to survive in this situation and deal with these troops .

Claydol looked at all of this joyful events ( for him) and enjoyed the entertainment in front of him. Situations like these when his trainer suffered was entertaining to all his companions too.

Jim braved himself and asked Alex," Sir, is everything alright? "

Alex woke up from his thoughts when he heard Jim's voice and said," Yeah everything is fine." abd he mumbled softly," As fine as it could be in this situation."

Then he took out jewel and said," call Professor for me, Jewel."

They all looked at Alex using a voice-operated phone and all of the inhabitants were jealous and thought that their new captain cum commander was very rich and loaded.

'At once, Alex.' came Jewel's feminine voice.

And the pokenav dialed at Oak's laboratory and Rings can be heard through the phone.

The military subordinates, secretary and the medical were puzzled by Alex's current action but didn't intervene.

Soon a brunette six-year-old girl's image appeared. It was Daisy.

" This is Oak's laboratory. Who is speaking?"came a child's voice increasing the confusion of other occupants of the room as to why their captain was talking with a kid now.

" Hello, Daisy how are you?" He asked sweetly.

" Alex, is that you?" She was excited to hear the voice of her friend and then replied," I am good. I am very angry with you. You never call me or come to meet me since the day you left." Daisy said while angrily pouting.

Alex always felt he was forgetting something during his travel and her words reminded him of what really slipped his mind.

" Sorry, sorry. I will not do it again. Can you forgive me Daisy?" He looked at her apologetically. He even held both his ears with his hands to show how sincere he was in his apology.

She didn't look at him directly but took some sneak peek at him and after some time her anger broke down and she forgave him.

" Daisy, can you bring your grandpa? I am in some trouble right now and require his help and advice at this time." He asked her.

" You want to talk with grandpa. But he isn't at home. He went off somewhere with his Charizard. I don't know where. Didn't you have grandpa's phone number, Alex?" She asked.

" I did have his number but not on my new phone so I can't contact him. And I didn't note down the number so I am at loss."

Then came another voice from the back. It was an adults voice and from the heavier tone it was a male.

" Daisy what have I told you about playing with the phones at the lab?"

" Dad, I wasn't playing. I was talking with Alex. He wanted grandpa's advice but he isn't here. " She answered quickly before she could be scolded by her father and mother who was currently at home.

" Oh, so you are talking to Alex. Let me see.

Good morning, Alex. How are you?

So What happened to you that you need dad's advice?" Blue asked Alex.

" Good morning, Blue. I am currently in a grave situation." He said while discreetly eyeing Daisy.

This action could be hidden from most people but a former champion like Blue could easily notice it and told Daisy," Daisy, your mom is making a chocolate cake for you. Do you want to taste the icings?"

Hearing the word 'cake', she jumped and quickly ran towards her mother without saying goodbye to Alex.

Her attic brought a smile to blue, Alex as well as all the occupants of the room. They didn't see her expression but her happy shouts of cake were self-evident.

" You see the case is that..." Alex started to narrate his situation.

But Gold interrupted him and said," Sir, all the matter here is confidential and these things cannot be revealed to the uninvolved personnel. It is against the law.

And if you do try to reveal it, we will be forced to take you down and have you under our custody for the crime of revealing confidential information." And he along with all the occupants fingered their Pokeball ready to take him down.

The words of Gold made Blue almost burst out in laughter that there are things Alex could know and he couldn't due to confidentiality of the league.

And Alex who was threatened didn't bother with their collective threat but Blue said something softly which made him become serious.

" Your majesty isn't established in front of your subordinates. If you back down now then you wouldn't be able to create a good image ever in their heart and they will always try to push you around. There might be some problems later regarding whatever task you are doing now.

So you must deal with them as soon as possible and show that you are above them and could crush them easily, so they won't disobey it cut your words at least not in front of the public."

These words made Alex think and he came to a similar conclusion as Blue and felt if he didn't teach his subordinates their place they may disobey his commands or even rebel against him affecting the plan and strategies he may comes up with to combat the situation leading to plummeting morale and unnecessary loss of life.

Alex raised his finger a little from the armrest of the chair where he kept his hands. As if Alex gave him the signal to attack, Claydol floated forward and his eyes shine blue.

Before having the opportunity to take down Claydol, all of them were on their knees under the influence of gravity attack. The increased gravity sent them to their knees.

Alex just looked down at the people on their knees without any hint of anger or contempt. He disregarded their very existence . He kept drumming his fingers on the armrest. And with each series of drum on the table, the intensity of gravity increased.

And this drumming came to a halt only when all of them were laid flat on the floor with none of the muscle capable of movement.

Claydol used three times the average gravity on them which was enough to disrupt the fighting spirit of these people.

" You should remember I am Captain along with the North Zone Commander . And I already warned you that I will be doing some unorthodox things. You may object to it but you can't rebel or attack me to stop my actions.

Since it is your first error, I am willing to let you this misconduct of yours slide but if it is repeated you will not like the consequences " Alex warned them while his gaze stated a bit longer in some people.

These actions and decision let the people know that Alex was stronger than them and could destroy them before they could even act.

" This is my last warning. If you disobey me again, I would make sure it is be your last one. And don't think that anyone would care about your life and death. You are too ignorant if you think I would be persecuted because of you." And to enforce his words, he released a tint of his killing intent at them.

This time all the occupants of the room found that they couldn't breathe properly and they felt they were in a boat in the middle of a sea facing a great storm.

They now knew that he got his position due to his strength and not just the influence of his family or friends.

Why did Alex call Professor Oak at this time? And what advice did he need? Stay tuned
