Chapter 312: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 312
Several Reporters with cameras and other equipment, saw Alex leaving the building and began to head in his direction.
Alex only recognized one person from all reporters, and he knew that the Person he recognized was also the Reporter with the greatest fame in Kanto.
It was a female Reporter with beautiful black hair and a tall height for a woman. On the whole, she looked very much like a model with a very special charisma. a bit like a Queen without an arrogant demeanor.
She was also the only reporter he knew by name. Even if it's just her first name.
Because he often heard her name being said in programs, he knew that this female Reporter was called Freya.
Alex knew that this is the best-known reporter in all of Kanto and that She also works for the most popular news channel, PokéNews.
Freya is also not just a reporter but mostly a host of many programs on PokéNews. She only came here as a Reporter because the Kanto Champion tournament is the biggest event in all of Kanto.
She was very well-known and many times more notable than small celebrities like Alex himself.
Freya did not go in front of Alex immediately but watched him when she thought about whether an interview with him was worthwhile.
The other Reporters started pacing in front of Alex and asking many questions with no sign of civility.
"Are you taking part in this tournament?"
"Alex, What rank do you think you will achieve in this tournament?"
"Have you heard words from future gym leader, Misty? She said she'd beat you easily this time. What do you think of that?"
"Alex, do you think you have a chance to win this tournament."
"Do you think that your victory last time was only possible through luck ?."
Alex tried not to show an annoyed expression when all reports started recording without asking and asked questions directly.
He gave a "fake" smile as he said, " sry, I don't have a lot of time to answer all of your questions so, I'll keep it short."
"Yes, I will take part in this tournament, and no, I don't think, I can create a miracle like last time and win this tournament."
Alex then looked at the Reporters blocking his path and he waited for them to give him a freeway.
But when none of the Reporters left and started asking more questions, he got a bit annoyed.
Alex continued to smile, but he said telepathically to Crobat, "Scare this trash for me."
Crobat immediately left his Pokeball and started looking at the Reporters with a bloodthirsty aura around him.
The Reporters were very surprised by this sudden change and they all stepped back a bit. Every reporter kept their distance from this Crobat that looked like it would attack them if they move one more step forward.
Alex showed a "fake" expression of surprise.
He then said to surprised Reporters, "I'm sorry that my Pokemon scared you. Crobat is very protective when strangers come too close."
After that, he said a few polite words and say goodbye without giving them a chance to stop him again.
Alex immediately called Gardevoir and had himself Teleport in front of his Hotel to get rid of the annoying Reporters.
He knew that each of these Reporters only had a small range and that most of them didn't even report beyond a city level.
While it's not bad, it is not enough to have a major impact on Alex's reputation as long as Alex doesn't do anything special.
....
Alex, who was in the best and most expensive hotel in all of Saffron City, started to read the rules of the Tournament when his Pokemon were practicing their moves.
Many of the rules in this Tournament were very similar to the Kanto Rookie Tournament and there were hardly any differences in the Rulebook. (Chap. 79)
For Alex, the anomaly was that now not every Pokemon can be changed once per battle, but each trainer can only change three times in the entire Fight.
In addition, the Formats in this Tournament are also different than in the Kanto Rookie Tournament.
In the preliminary round, the participants will fight 1 v / s 1.
When there are only 64 participants left, 3 v / s 3 fights will be used as the format.
The format 6 v / s 6 will be used for the round of the top 16.
Alex looked at his participant number and he saw that he had got the participant number 69.
Like a Kanto Rookie Tournament, this number is only for the preliminary round and is not ranked according to the strength of the Trainers.
Only when the preliminary round is over will each participant receive a Number that is ranked according to the level of their Team.
Alex who saw this Number couldn't resist sending Maria a Photo with his participant number and the words "do you know what I'm thinking about?".
Although Alex knew that it was very childish, he couldn't help it. He sometimes had fun with the simple things in life.
But Alex's mood quickly got worse when he saw Maria respond with the words, "You are sometimes really cute".
Alex would rather hear, insults from Maria than being described with such words.
He wasn't really upset, but it annoyed him more than it should. The worst part was that he wasn't sure if Maria knew this or if it was just a coincidence. Alex even hoped Maria just wants to tease him and doesn't honestly think something like that.
He stopped thinking about it and started meditating again.
...
Several hours later, the registration for the Kanto Champion Tournament was completed and each participant received the information about their first opponent.
***
By the way, this is not the first time that we see Freya in the story, even if it is the first time that we get to know her name.
Maybe a few of you can guess when we saw her for the first time.
*******
if the story gets 500 powerstones in 24 hours, I will upload 1 bonus chapter tomorrow.
