Chapter 314: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 314
After Bastiodon took just a little damage and used a few moves, Alex claimed his first win, easily.
Alex had already thought that this fight would be effortless but he still underestimated how uncomplicated this fight was.
Bastiodon does not only do a lot of damage with a [Rock Slide] but also hardly gets any damage itself from the moves of Charizard.
3 level disadvantage + [Rock slide] on the Expert rank was just too much for Charizard.
The referee shouted, "Participant 199 Pokémon passed out. Participant 69 won this round."
Alex calls Batiodon back to his Pokeball after hearing that the referee confirms his victory.
The referee looked at Alex and said seriously, "Participant 69, you will be informed of your next opponent within 3 hours. Please be ready for tomorrow."
Alex nodded and started exiting the arena after shaking hands with his opponent.
He made his way back to his hotel.
...
Two hours later, when Alex finished his daily meditation, he pulled out his TRH device again to see if he had been assigned a new opponent on the tournament tree.
------------
Contestant No. 47
Pokémon:
Flygon LV 51, Steelix LV 49, Quagsire LV 47, Nidoqueen LV 45, Camerupt LV 45, Gardevoir 41,
------------
Alex, who saw this information from his opponent, wasn't sure for a moment whether he will have to fight one of the strongest non-seed participants or as if his opponent is nothing special in this tournament and his first enemy was very weak.
This participant not only had two Pokemon at a similar level to his Pokemon, but one of these Pokemon was 1 level higher than each of Alex's Pokemon.
As a Seed participant, Alex had a level disadvantage in a 1 vs 1 match.
Also, this level 51 Pokemon was not of a weak species and a Pokemon of a Dragon-Type Species. Alex felt almost as if he had hit a Wall.
Alex didn't think that in the preliminary round he would feel the danger of leaving the tournament but after seeing this opponent, he can only laugh at his previous thoughts.
'I thought it was a trick to hype the tournament, but the Kanto Champion tournament really doesn't allow any weak players on the main event. Even the seed participants are not necessarily safe in the previous round. ...What an interesting tournament. '
He looked at his Pokemon and almost immediately decided which Pokemon to choose for tomorrow.
Fortunately, he had nearly that perfect Pokemon for tomorrow.
...
Saffron City Arena
Alex is one day later again in this big arena, but this time with a serious expression and not with a relaxed expression like last time.
Alex believes that with his numerous plans which he can adjust according to many situations, he would have a good chance to win this fight, even if he feels a bit of uncertainty because he hadn't seen the info from the Flygon.
He couldn't plan his tactics perfectly in advance and therefore can't use the most out of his strength.
One of the main reasons why Alex had such powerful and effective tactics against Misty and Junichi is because he knew all the information about the Pokemon of the two before his fight.
Alex had enough time to build a perfect adapted plan that can react perfectly to most responses from his opponents.
But not even without the best of his strength, Alex was confident that he would find a way to turn this fight into his own direction.
He also had a lot of fights without planning time so that he can still use tactics effectively without enough time even if not so perfectly with enough time.
After Alex saw his number on the screen in the waiting room, he started to move to the arena and to go back to the C-block where his opponent and the referee were waiting for him.
Alex looked at his opponent and he showed a surprised expression when he saw a man who looked like he was over 45 years old.
This man had already started to lose hair and, together with his face, made this man look like he was in his mid-40s. and that's a friendly estimate.
Alex looked up at The referee with a perplexed expression.
The referee immediately understood Alex's confused expression.
Participant 47, is under 40 and he is allowed to take part in this tournament. Don't worry, we have already checked it thoroughly."
The old-looking man showed an annoyed expression when he heard this.
He said, "Yes and you-all even called a doctor with a machine because you thought I had faked my ID card. That was completely unwarranted."
Alex who heard these words looked at the man's face again and said, "Well, it can happen, that one is judged to be a few years older. I mean you are 38 or 39 years old, right? The gap is not very big "
The old-looking man got angry and started yelling at Alex, "Boy, shut up if no one talks to you. you stupid bastard, I'll be 35 this year."
Alex has already lowered his first assessment of that age of this man, was surprised that this man was even younger. This man didn't look like he was 34 years old to Alex.
He wasn't even angry that he was insulted and yelled at.
Alex even showed an expression of sympathy as he look at the man.
This old-looking man already had a below-average appearance and that he also looked 10 years older feel just sad for Alex.
"sry, man."
The old-looking man would normally accept Alex's apology but after seeing Alex's eyes full of pity he felt a wave of indescribable anger.
He thought with a cold expression, 'we'll see if you'll still give me that look after the fight, boy'
