"Why are you going to Lavender Town?", asked Axel.
"Well, I heard the place is one giant hunted city. I just want to explore. I am just enjoying the vacation.", said Emma.
Axel cannot believe why a girl would think of spending her vacation in a haunted city.
Of course, the city was not haunted. Only the tower was haunted but the tower was the biggest building in the town. So, many tourists ca here to see the tower, which was the reason why the town was famous.
But the Lavender Town was going to face a tide battle within a month. The public didn’t know about it. The mayor of the town or any city would try to hide it as much as possible.
As he started talking to her, he discovered she was an advanced breeder. He was surprised to know how talented she really was. She also had a pseudo-king rank Pokemon, and she was known as a genius in the breeder’s world.
"I am quite interested in ghost-type Pokemons. Most ghost-type Pokemons are born from vengeance, or formation, or spirit, or revenge from their earlier life. I believe that we should explore that part of the ghost-type Pokemons. There must be a lot of things that we may not know.
And Lavender Town is the best town for it."
Lavender town had almost every ghost-type Pokemon. It had a big tower, which was also a big cetery. Axel also wanted to see this tower.
The two-day flight went and Axel had a great ti talking to Emma. They shared numbers as they ca out of the airport and then Emma went her own way.
Axel called Hector to co pick him up.
###
"Sir, did you have a good flight?", asked Hector.
"Yes, the flight was okay. You know how I hate these flights. When are we going to talk to the mayor? Had all of them co to the town?"
"Yes, all the mbers, including all the commanders, have arrived. We are just waiting for your orders."
"Good, have you set traps as I told you?", asked Axel.
"Yes, that is the problem. We have talked with the mayor, and the mayor does not agree to setting up those traps," said Hector.
Axel turned towards Hector with a serious expression.
One of the things that made their rcenary team unique and efficient was their traps. Most of them were land traps, such as land mines, bear traps, and others, and Mark of the Venu family invented so air traps.
They were only valid once, and they didn’t kill many Pokemons. But they let the mbers be ready and prepared while fighting the tide battle.
This was really important.
Just imagine 100s of Pokemons rushing towards you. You have your own Pokemons, but the rush from 100s or even 1000s of wild Pokemons would make you mad. But, if the traps were installed, the front-line wild Pokemons would be trapped. Also, the traps might even kill the Pokemon.
This would give the mbers so much-needed breath to initiate their attacks. This was also the pri reason that the death rate under Axel’s command was lower. Most of the deaths happened during the first clash, and if they lost the first class, low morale, fear, and everything would follow.
And now Hector was telling that the mayor was not agreeing to this arrangent.
"Why didn’t you tell about this before?"
"Sir, when I got to know about it, I decided to tell you but you were in plane and your phone was switched off.", explained Hector.
Axel was still angry at Hector for delaying. They only had around 25 days which was not a long ti for tide battle preparations. Axel had told Hector to choose a side where they would defend and start the trap preparations. They had adequate numbers to defend one side now.
100k mbers were enough to defend one direction of a small town like Lavender Town.
"Ok, just get all the commanders and set up a eting. Also, get a phone to call Prince Kymar. I will have sothing to eat, and then I will be ready for the upcoming planning. Also, plan a eting with the mayor and tell him that it must be done today.", said Axel.
###
The three-month training had not been in vain. Of course, if Axel was there personally, then the result would have been better but he could not complain. The captain and commanders have taken responsibility and trained their mbers to the best of their abilities.
One notable achievent was that the new mbers and the old mbers have found a balance, and now there are no fights between them. This was a very important milestone. Now, Axel didn’t have to worry about them fighting with each other in the tide battles.
The mbers level also increased. So of their Pokemons also reached the king rank. All of them were compulsory trained in aura and psychic techniques and then there were different team strategies.
Axel and his team were more than ready for the coming tide battle.
The place where they were staying was not far away. Hector had selected the south border, and their team was stationed at the south border camp.
When Axel arrived, all of them stood up and greeted him. Axel looked at the 100k mbers, and all of them were waiting for his command. For a mont, he felt proud to command so many mbers.
He wanted this team to treat others like a part of their own family. This was the original motto of ’Fairy Tail’. But he also knew that this was reality, and such a thing was not possible. At least not yet.
But they are closer than before.
’One step at a ti.’
There was no stage, but a high building. Axel went to the balcony of the building, and all of the mbers were on the ground.
"For so, it might be their first ti in tide battles. So of you might be working under for the first ti, and so of you have been working under for many years. I welco all of you to the first official tide battle of ’Fairy Tail’.", said Axel.
His voice was enhanced with the help of an aura.
"The na ’Fairy Tail’ has a special aning to . I wanted to create a guild, a place where everyone would treat each other with love, like a family. I know such a dream is almost impossible to achieve, but I know we will get there.
My first order as the rcenary team leader is to trust and follow my every command in this tide battle. Even if you feel that I am acting like an idiot, follow my orders and believe in . I do not want any of you dying on in this tide battle.
We have 25 days to prepare for the tide battle. I, along with your commander will talk to the mayor and plan for the tide battle. You have two days to enjoy the town and then we will be back to work.
Excellent work in training for 3 months.
I will et you on the battlefield."
Saying this, he went inside the ho. He wanted to say so cool ending lines, but he could not develop one.
The crowd cheered his na from behind.
"Hector, did you connect the call with Prince Kymar?", asked Axel.
"Yes, sir. He will be ready to call you again in 15 minutes."
"That is good to hear. First, I want to know what we will be facing. Have you researched the history of the forest connected to Lavender Town? What about the past tide battles faced by the town?"
All the commanders, including Ashimita and Dory, were in the eting room.
"Sir, since the records have been kept, the town has been attacked twice. We chose the south side, the most dangerous side, and we were told to choose the most dangerous side.
Most of the Pokemons we will face are the ghost-type Pokemons. But this town is special as if the tide battle went on and we fought with the wild ghost-type Pokemons for a long ti, then there is a good chance that the ghost in the tower would run rampart, disturbing the peace of the town.
So, the soldiers in the central direction will also play a vital role in it.", said Ashimita.
They talked about the tide battle for so ti, and finally, Hector said, "Sir, the phone is connected. You can now speak with Prince Kymar."
Axel nodded and took the phone.
"Hello, Prince Kymar. How is the life of a royal prince nowadays?"
"Haha, no complaints. I heard that you got your first tide battle location. How are you doing? Do you need any help from ?"
"Yes, but just a word of yours would suffice. This mission of tide battle, that have been given to , I have sothing to clear it out with you. I have a certain way of doing things, and the mayor is not cooperating with .
I cannot work to my full potential like that. So, I would like you to give the full authority on this tide battle.", said Axel.
"Axel, you are the first knight. You have a lot of authority and power because you work on behalf of the royal family. So, yes, you can overtake the authority of the Mayor and do anything. But with authority also cos responsibility.
I hope that you understand that."
"Yes, I understand it. Thanks for the help.", said Axel.
###
The eting room,
"Sujan, how much ti would it take for the great Axel Blaze to walk in here?" the mayor asked sarcastically.
"Sir, Mr. Axel had just co here 3 hours ago. So, he might be here in so ti."
"So people never appreciate the ti of others. I am sorry about this, Mr. Mayor," said a man with brown hair and black eyes.
He was called Gary and he was the commander of the north, east, and west sides. He was from the league. The soldiers from the north, east and west side were from the league.
The town soldiers themselves protected the central place.
Finally, they heard a knock on the door, and the door was opened.
Axel finally ca with Hector and Krishna and said, "Apologies if we ca late, but we had a lot of things to figure out."
By saying it, all of them sat on their respective chairs.
"Let first introduce myself and others. I am the mayor of the town, and my na is Gaurav. The one beside is Sujan. She will be commanding the east side. Voilet will be commanding the north side, and Guru will be commanding the west side. Gary is the leader of those 3, and all of them are from the league.
anwhile, Royce will be looking after the central region.
As you all know, this is Mr. Axel Blaze, and this is Mr. Hector and Mr. Krishna. We are here to discuss the tide battle that will be happening in a month."
