The pokemons stayed away from Alex during the battle. The flying Pokemons such as pidgeot, pidgeotto, vespiqueen, b.u.t.terfree, golbat and claydol were stationed at the town wall the entire time to prevent flying Pokemons from entering the town.

Whenever he needed to talk, he used to mental link Mew created between his Pokemons and convey them message.

Pokemon pov,

Slowking through the mental link spoke to pidgeot,. " Prepare yourself. The final round is starting. The last pseudo king has appeared. Make sure Beedrill doesn"t leave the battle field alive this time."

Pidgeot replied back," So no more holding back."

" No more holding back. Alex is losing control of his emotions. So he is personally joining the battle. I will ask Haunter to look after him while we all try to end the battle as soon as possible.

He has changed a lot since the start of the tide." He said sadly.

" We all have changed. In these battle, we learned how to have a long term match. Our stamina and strength is put to test.

But what scares me the most is Alex. He sent back the young and weaker ones so they aren"t adversely affected, yet he stayed with us. He is still too young to lead the men, and I am talking about his mental health.

Charmeleon is young yet he is only fighting not having to take care of anyone. But Alex has made sure to visit the injured and dead.

As soon as the battle ends, we have to send him back. Xatu is around isn"t he?" Pidgeot asked

" Yes, he is around. I could sense him. What do you want to do? Are you asking him to wisk away, Alex? He would be very angry about it later "

" No, not now. As soon as the battle comes to an end, have Xatu teleport him back to Alex"s teacher. Then he can help him a little and recover." Pidgeot replied

" Should I ask electabuzz about it? Whether he would agree it not is important too?"

" He will agree too. You know that as much as act to be tough, he is very soft regarding Alex. He will support this decision. Later, he could come back and take us away too.

We cannot let him stay here after the war ends. We will win it. I am sure, but he won"t be able to handle the sacrifices. As long as the war goes on, he could put it on the back of his mind but when it"s pressure is recovered, we will face z broken person

We cannot help him our here. He needs to be far away from here to heal himself. And I don"t think he would want to his parents to look at him in this state. "

Slowking was thinking about pidgeot words and conveyed the message to electabuzz. Alex was unaware of the conversation between three of his most senior Pokemons.

Electabuzz on hearing what they planned was surprised and looked at Alex for a moment before his eyes became firm and he agreed to it.

" Very well. I will have Xatu look at Alex and do as you asked. Electabuzz agreed too. We can convince others to be prepared."


Pokemon pov end

---------------------------------------------------

Alex was really looking forward to the next battle. The helplessness and despair he felt when he saw so many people dieing was eating him from inside.

He needed to release all the pent up frustration and anger he acc.u.mulated in the past few days. This is a good opportunity for him to test his aura and fighting skills in actual situation.

He walked all the way to the front line ignoring the bystander as they stared at him and his pokemons.

The next battle would be a big one since all the bosses have shown their face and it will also be their strongest attack.

His walk towards the front line with so many people brought some outrage in people thinking he is trying to escape and leave them be.

" Look at him, escaping while leaving us to face the tide."

" What do you expect? He hasn"t entered the front line even once and now when the critical moment is coming he is running away. "

" He is a coward. He is just a traitor."

" How he become the captain I don"t know? But I know that league will have to punish him when he is caught or else I won"t let them be."

These attracted the other officer cadet and his secretary around the corner.

Jean dashed towards Alex and asked," sir, what happened ? Why are you heading out?" Is there a problem?" She has been with Alex all the time and saw how hard he worked to make sure everything is in order.

He didn"t join the Frontline because was scared, but because he was too busy to make sure everything worked out well. And there isn"t any problem in the supply line.

Alex didn"t stop to look at her and continued on his path, but he still answered," Tell Jim and Gold to get ready. The final round of the tide begins soon."

" So are you heading to fight? But why now?" Daisy who came after hearing rumours about Alex asked.

" The intelligence report was wrong. As early as the tide arrived, my Onix was on lookout to check for the pseudo king.

He wasn"t able to head deeper into the enemy line due to a powerful ground type psuedo king. I was waiting for him so he can reveal himself.

The Nidoking is arriving at last. I think this may be their last attempt as we had ended their attempt to invade our territory and it will be even more difficult than earlier attacks. "

" But sir, how are you going to face him? We should ask for support to deal with him? Your Pokemon barely held back the other two psuedo kings and another one would be too much." Jean asked anxiously.

Her words shocked the bystanders. To think that the captain whom they regarded as coward was actually holding back the strongest of the tide was astonis.h.i.+ng. It meant he wasn"t weak.

This put an end to some of their whispers.

Alex stopped and looked at Jean in her eyes. Jean blushed slightly at the intensity of gaze from Alex.

" I too held back a trump card. And now he will be joining the battle. It is because of him that I am the captain.

Electabuzz reveal your presence to the opponent and blow the war horn." He replied confidently.

Electabuzz released the thunder power and the sky was starting to get covered in thick black clouds with thunder currents running through it.

Then a ma.s.sive bolt of thunder fell straight toward nidoking who countered it with his own power. The collision of their power sea powerful shockwave along with dust cloud out in the air.

They were too far away to see the power clash with their naked eyes but the thunder and the dust cloud showed the power that electabuzz wielded.

Blake the fighting specialist who stood by the side mumbled," Pseudo king. Electabuzz is a psuedo king Pokemon. He is the Trump card of the captain."

" Pseudo king ? What, how could this be?"

" He is too young to have this power?"

" How does he have this much power?"

" I told you earlier, Jean. I don"t care what you feel about me and my leaders.h.i.+p ability but I have the power to make you obey. Although I am not the strongest it doesn"t mean I am weak.

Slowking and pidgeot are at elite peak. Piloswine, Snorlax, Vespiqueen, Claydol and Onix are elite level.

Haunter, Charmeleon, Espeon and others are advanced peak. Every one of my Pokemon here are at least advanced level.

Even if they cannot beat people on the other level on their own with the help from their teammates, victory isn"t a dream.

Now that the final round is starting. They don"t need to hold back. "

" If you are so strong, why did you hold back?" Someone from the crowd asked.

" This is war, not a straight one on one fight. It is won when the right card is sent out at the right time. Before the arrival of the last pseudo king I can"t reveal my power or else there won"t be anyone to deal with them since they would lose most of their strength after battle.

My Pokemons could barely beat them and after that they would be too weak so I can"t go all out early.

Enough dangling about , be prepared for the final fight. If we lose then the north Zone is lost."

And he walked away leaving behind a stunned crowd.

Alex was overlooking the battlefield now and looked over the small fights happening up front. He awaited the arrival of the real force which was currently led by Nidoking.

The final battle is just round the corner. Stay tuned.

To be continued….
