235 Making Strategy

Axel thought started to wander around after Red hung up the phone. He had so much to do in these 10 days. Meanwhile, Alakazam removed the sound barrier.

"Sir, is everything ok?", asked Hector.

"Yes. That call gave me a lot of things to think about. Now let's begin with the matter at hand. Can I know what Pokemons are concentrated in the 10km radius of the north base?", asked Axel.

"Yes sir. There are normally, grass type, normal type, bug type, flying type, fighting type, and a few psychic type, poison type, dark and ghost type. Do you also want to know the specific names of the Pokemon?", asked Dorton.

He was a researcher and had a good amount of knowledge in these fields.

"Yes, I want their names and also their numbers to create a strategy. After all flying-type Pokemons would not fight similarly to land Pokemons and Pokemon who could go underground."

"But sir, we would only know the accurate information just 2 days before the tide. What we can tell you now is the Pokemons living near the north base."

"That would be enough for now. I also asked about the concentration of Pokemon in the area. That would help me calculate what type of Pokemons would attack just during the tide. You would be prepared before the actual information comes.

With the knowledge of Dory and Dorton we would plan a strategy for each of them. This would be very effective and we would not lose more of our troops."

All of them were doubtful about this new strategy of the new zone commander. It should be remembered that there were only 10 days before the tide. Making new changes that everyone was unfamiliar with may be disastrous.

However, after thinking for sometime everyone agreed. It would save a lot of lives and it looked doable, except for one person.

"I don't think that it would work.", said Dorton.

"Why are you saying that? I know that it is a new strategy but it looks doable. If it could save the lives of our soldiers, why don't we try it?", asked Sam.

"Sam, let the man talk. So, why don't you think that it would work Dorton?"

"It is the troops, sir."

"Oh yes, the troops. How can I forget about the troops.", said Axel.

"Sir, I don't understand. What do you mean by that?", asked Sam.

"Dorton why don't you explain to them about your reason."

"Yes sir, the problem is the troops. Even if we make strategy about every Pokemon out there, the soldiers do not have any knowledge to carry it out. They had not studied in their lifetime. They are illiterate. So teaching them about all the Pokemons would just be a waste of time within 10 days."

There was silence in the room. Kanto alone had 151 Pokemons and this town is near Jhoto so there would be some Jhoto Pokemons as well. How are they going to teach the soldiers who are illiterate about 200 kinds of Pokemons in such a short time.

"Then what can we do?", sighed Dory.

Just when they thought that the strategy would work, it flopped immediately.

"We would divide and concur. The soldiers don't have to know the details of all the Pokemon. First of all, we would determine which Pokemons we would be facing in which part of the north zone.", said Axel.

"Sir, before you came, I have already collected the data of which Pokemon would be more prevalent in which areas.", said Dory with a smile.

The north base was big. If a city could hold more than a hundred thousand soldiers and millions of citizens then it would obviously be big. So, even in the north base, there would be specific Pokemon in specific areas.

"Good job. Then we would tell them the details of those specific types of Pokemons in the area where they are stationed. They would also have to know about common Pokemons like Pidgey line, Spearow line etc. This would help us a lot. For example, Dory, what can you tell me about Spearow line?"

"Spearow is a normal/flying type Pokemons. Its weakness is Rock, ice, and electric. Spearow makes loud sounds when they attack. The sound could be heard from 1 km away. It is used to warn others when it is in danger. They come in groups. Spearow and Fearow are never alone. They also can fly at high speed and height.

Though their speed is not as fast as Pidgey line, they are avian Pokemons. They have high attack and speed. However, their defense is very low.", Dory gave a full detail on Spearow's line.

"Right. So since they come in groups, we must be prepared with our own. No one would be fighting a Spearow alone. They make loud noises from a distance. So, we can have ample time to be prepared with Spearow and Fearow groups. Since they have low defense we should capitalize it.

Dory, make a list of Pokemon that we would be facing based on the areas. I also want to know about other types of Pokemons like fire type or dark type. Though they may be small in number, we would face a huge disaster if we don't prepare for them."

Dory nodded her head.

"What about the ghost type Pokemon at night?"

"Ghost type Pokemon in these parts of the regions are rare. But we must be facing some of them at night. Their number may not be very high but Gengar, Misdreavus, Sableye, and Dusclops may appear.", said Tory this time.

"We would have to prepare for that too. See if we have any dark-type specialist or any trainers who train in dark type moves. Ghost type Pokemon could be a hassle to deal with."

Facing a Ghost-type Pokemons at night was a nightmare. They are very sneaky and cunning. They were also very powerful and experienced Pokemons.

Axel felt a headache thinking about them.

"There are also traps that I want to talk to you guys about. I know that you have not used traps previously but I want to change that. I believe that by using the traps we could deal a lot of damage.", said Axel.

"What do you mean by traps, sir?"
