The Explorer Association worked alongside the Kanto League, functioning as a separate division of the military that followed military ranks.
The ranks within the military and the Explorer Association were as follows:
1. Cadets
2. Captains
3. Lieutenant
4. Zone Commander
5. Commander
6. Brigadier General
7. General
8. Major General
9. Field Marshal
10. Vice Admiral
11. Admiral
12. Fleet Admiral
Andrew was a general from the Explorer Association, while Axel held the rank of Zone Commander in the military.
Axel entered a small hall where approximately 15 people were present. All of them appeared bulked up, even the won, and they were taller and older than Axel.
"Guys, et our newest mber, Axel Blaze," Andrew introduced him to everyone.
"You seem lost, Axel," remarked a woman.
"This is Amanda, a Zone Commander," Andrew explained.
"et Ro and Paris, the Brigadier Generals who will lead the teams," Andrew continued.
"Teams?" Axel asked.
"Yes, you haven't been briefed yet. There will be two teams for this mission. They will start their expeditions at the sa ti from different directions. Even though the island is small, it is not possible for a single team to complete the mission in a month," Andrew explained.
Axel shook hands with the others.
"Now, you will be under Ro, and he will brief you on the details. I will be the team leader, and if you have any problems, you can co to . We leave tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. sharp. Dismissed," Andrew concluded, and everyone went their separate ways.
Ro asked Axel to follow him, and together with three other people, they entered a small room. The room had poor lighting, but it was sufficient for the five of them to sit comfortably.
"First of all, let introduce everyone. We have Amanda, who is a Zone Commander, Adam and Amit, who are Commander ranks, and I am Ro, a Brigadier General. We have known each other for years and ford a team. We had Ankit with us, but he had an accident, and that's where you co in," Ro explained with a somber tone.
"What happened to Ankit?" Axel inquired.
"Being an Explorer is not a safe job. He was heavily injured and couldn't make it here. Anyways, I know you have no knowledge of our operations, so let start with the ranks of the Explorer Association," Ro continued.
"The ranks are similar to the military, with 12 ranks from Cadets to Fleet Admiral. The requirents are as follows:
1. Cadets and Captains: Must have Rare Rank Pokémon. They undergo training and are not sent on expeditions.
2. Lieutenants: Must have at least one Elental Rank Pokémon.
3. Zone Commander: Must have one Pseudo-King Rank Pokémon.
4. Commander: Must have at least three Pseudo-King Rank Pokémon.
5. Brigadier General: Must have at least one King Rank Pokémon.
6. General: Must have at least three King Rank Pokémon.
7. Major General: Must have at least six King Rank Pokémon.
8. Field Marshal: Must have a Pseudo-Champion Rank Pokémon.
9. Vice Admiral: Must have at least three Pseudo-Champion Rank Pokémon.
10. Admiral: Must have at least six Pseudo-Champion Rank Pokémon.
11. Field Marshal: Must have at least one Champion Rank Pokémon.
There are also other requirents, such as experience, loyalty, and personal strength. If you possess additional abilities like aura or psychic powers, that can also be taken into consideration. However, I assu you are not applying to be part of the Explorer team, so we can disregard those factors," Ro explained.
"Thanks for the information. That's a lot to take in," Axel responded.
"Yes, now let's move on to our mission. There will be two teams, each consisting of five mbers. One team will explore from the south side, and the other from the north side. Our team will have the first pick of the discoveries, but the rest must be shared with the league. You can also exchange resources with your team mbers or the league. Now, I need to assess how strong you truly are. What is your strongest Pokémon, and what rank does it hold?" Ro asked.
Assessing the strength of team mbers was a basic requirent. They were aware of Axel's reputation and his relationship with Professor Oak, but they didn't hold much hope for his strength. That's why Amanda made the snide comnt earlier, missing Ankit, who was a perfect teammate. Now they had to carry the burden.
"My strongest Pokémon is Shedinja, and it holds the Pseudo-King Rank," Axel truthfully replied.
"Shedinja, really?" Amanda questioned. Shedinja was generally regarded as the weakest Pokémon in the world.
"A Pseudo-King Rank?" Adam exclaid. A 14-year-old possessing a Pseudo-King Rank was unheard of.
Ro took so ti to process the information as well. He had reservations about Axel, but he had to follow orders and didn't treat Axel poorly.
"That's good to know. How many Pseudo-King Rank Pokémon do you have?" Ro asked.
"Uh... I have seven of them," Axel replied.
"Seven? Damn, you're stronger than ," Adam remarked.
The room fell silent. They never expected Axel to possess such power. If Ro didn't have a King Rank Pokémon, Axel would likely be the strongest among them.
"Hmm... Axel, I need the details of your Pokémon, including their nas and ranks. Don't worry; it's a standard procedure. You will also learn about the ranks and nas of our Pokémon," Ro requested.
"I have no problem with that," Axel said, and he began writing down the details.
"Thanks for your cooperation. I want to be fully prepared and develop the perfect strategy for this mission," Ro expressed.
Axel also received the Pokémon details of his team mbers.
