Pokemon - A Mystical Journey 138 Chapter 20- Getting His Strongest Team

Alex contemplated on how to survive the rampage. Since young he has always been told by his parents, how dangerous and devastating a raid can be.

This has created a sense of fear for the tide. It was nothing wrong after all. Since he was a child he heard about them and as he grew older in his curiosity he found books and information about these raids.

The things he found was disturbing. These rampages can destroy the entire town even if the last victor was humans. And there is only 20 percent of the people who survive these situations without being injured. And this is regarded as a good by many.

And such a large scale of deaths can change people. No matter how indifferent he acts to the deaths of some people, if there is a large scale ma.s.sacre no one would be left unaffected from it.

And as Professor Oak said his greatest sense of helpnesses came from the fact that he put his life in the hands of someone unfamiliar and according to his inner self-confident mind, incapable of being his boss or higher up.

His pride won't allow it and he may not be able to stand some of his orders resulting in a conflict with the officer.

This may affect the morale of the troops and isn't conducive for the war.

Now with Professor Oak's personal words, he knows he will not have to follow their orders if he doesn't want to. And he becomes a completely independent group. The officer won't provide him any help. This is due to dissatisfaction towards his stature and power, he displayed to independent of any order.

So now he needs the all his powerful pokemons for this war. According to Professor Oak, this rampage is also a test to see how he handle himself in the Badlands.

The Pokemons who are powerful enough and may be able to help him in this situation are:

Haunter

Electabuzz

Pidgeot

Pidgeotto

Slowking

Charmeleon

b.u.t.terfree

Espeon

Piloswine

Snorlax

Onix

Vespiqueen

Claydol

Vespiqueen is a special pokemon which can help him most in this raid because of her command moves.

She can heal and even defend the Pokemons from hidden attacks.

His first female Combee evolved into the bug queen vespiqueen and she becomes the leader of the whole Combee hive. She as a vespiqueen could use them for defend mode, heal mode and even attacks mode.

She was truly a tank among all the bugs and very few bugs could match her powers and the only ones who could are drapion, Scizor and sun Pokemon volcarona which is said to reside near volcanic areas.

As for the claydol. You could give this credit to mew. She is the greatest helper Alex had. She took Baltoy to some Ancient ruins and it returned as a claydol, few days later.

The claydol also was known as the battle tank in the ancient times is another monster he could depend upon in this battle. His gravity, teleport, Earth power and psychic attacks make him a very good crowd battler.

He along with vespiqueen could juggle between being an attacker to being support member in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, he thought of having his Bulbasaur, nidoran, poliwag, and azuril evolve into their next form of Ivysaur, nidorino, poliwhirl and Marill.

Their evolution would allow them to last longer in this battle and provide support too.

This situation also made Alex feel about having a group of Pokemon who could support each other and their moves could match their fellow members increasing its effectiveness.

This is probably why elite four members are master of a type. Their common type can help them support each of their pokemons and can increase their effectiveness in battle. The main team of the Elite four is based on the group battle.

Together they can take on legions of Pokemon as each member of the team can help the other and even heal the wounded ones.

Nidorino can be a poison specialist which can at least weaken their frontal a.s.sault and even destroy the enemy in the front.

Poliwhirl with his water absorb can absorb the stray water attacks and heal himself while protecting his teammates.

Marill with its huge power and sap sipper can become a complete demolisher of gra.s.s pokemons out there.

And finally Ivysaur. Although it hasn't yet become a front line combatant he could provide support with the various chemical on its flower and increase his nature Control.

Under Alex's vigorous training and nourishment from the Mysterious gem of celebi he made sure Bulbasaur could control ten branches or vines bur after evolution it might even increase his control by five times if not more.

These are all his childish desire and thought based on his pokemons ability and skill and only on the battlefield, he could bring out their true worth.

He decided to send back the baby pokemons he had on him after consoling them so they don't cause trouble.

He then released his baby pokemons such as larvitar, Riolu, Happiny, and Growlithe.

He told them he was gonna be busy and can't look after them so he was sending them back home. He asked Happiny and Riolu to look after the two new members of the team and help them integrate into the team better.

He also knows that now his grandpa would be closer to the phone than anyone else so he won't have to worry about the news of his current scenario reach other members of the family.

Grandpa too has experienced things like this and knew that the more family worries, the more trouble he would have to overcome this situation and so he probably won't let anyone else know about it.

He then dialed home and after a couple of rings, the older visage of his grandfather Michael appeared.

" Good afternoon Alex how are you?"

" I am fine grandpa how are you?" He tried to reply back normally without causing any suspicion to his grandpa but his forced smile tells all.

" So what trouble did you fall into this time? You just had to deal with ghosts? Did things go south there?" He asked thinking his current situation was due to this.

This gave Alex a wonderful idea about how to get his things without really revealing anything about the situation," Yeah some of my Pokemon were injured and I need others.

So I was thinking of sending back Growlithe, riolu, larvitar, and Happiny to get others."

"Ben would be delighted to see a real Growlithe face to face. Also, Clara would like to play with happiny and that baby larvitar would entertain all of us.

So what pokemons do you want with you?"

" I need all my fighters because I was thinking of besieging them with numbers.

And don't worry grandpa last time I barely lost. So they are weak now and I could call them back in Pokeball. Now with the help of others, it would be easier and I won't have to take another trip to the pokemon center for healing them." He thought of a reason

" So what pokemons would you need? You have so many back homes and you won't use some of them like ever "

" I need Pidgeot, Charmeleon, b.u.t.terfree, Pidgeotto, Onix, vespiqueen, azuril, poliwag, Bulbasaur and claydol.

These would do the trick ."

" I hope so too. Now the Pokemons you hold with you are the strongest among all the Pokemons you have.

Be careful out there. Do you want to talk to others?"

Alex wanted to but he felt he would breakdown in front of his parents as he barely managed to control himself in front of grandpa and even his legs shook a little.

" Not right now. After I dealt with them I would do it. If you cannot contact me , you can ask Professor oak. He gave me a task in a place. It has severe network issues so I couldn't contact you soon.

And don't worry I will take care of my safety." And he initiated the transfer.

After sending back his four pokemons he received his ten pokemons.

After that, he turned off the phone.

While he was thinking of going to his room to rest and initiate the evolution of his unevolved ones he heard someone calling him.

Facing the source he saw it was one of the guards he encountered in the town hall. He told me that my presence was urgently requested.

So Alex followed him back to the town hall.

How will Alex react to becoming a Corps commander? Stay tuned
