Chapter 488: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 488
Because not all of them had Flying-type Pokémon, Alex decided to use Luxray as a means of transportation for the first time.
Luckily, his Luxray was around 1.8 meters long, slightly larger than average, which made it much easier to ride.
With Alex leading the way, the five of them moved quickly through the city, their Pokémon keeping a steady pace as they headed toward their assigned position.
A loud alarm echoed throughout Mauville, its sharp, repetitive sound cutting through the usual noise of the city and making the situation unmistakably clear to everyone.
Even so, as Alex's gaze swept across the streets, he didn't see the kind of chaos one might expect.
People were moving quickly—some on foot, others with their Pokémon—but their actions were controlled rather than frantic. There were no crowds pushing against each other, no desperate shouting, no signs of widespread panic.
Instead, it looked relative calm.
Most civilians were heading deeper into the city, away from the outer districts, following procedures they were clearly familiar with. Some trainers were already moving in the opposite direction, likely heading to their assigned defensive positions just like Alex.
It gave the impression that, despite the alarm, the city still felt relatively safe to its residents.
