Chapter 320: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 320
Alex couldn't understand what Misty wants from him. As far as he knows, they both have a dislike for each other and not a good relationship.
Misty gave Alex an annoyed look and said, "What's wrong with you!"
"I just ask normal questions and you act like an asshole."
Alex showed a speechless expression and he wasn't sure if this was all is just a joke.
"Normal question? What is normal about your questions?"
Misty showed a confused expression as if she doesn't understand what the problem is.
Alex just shook his head and said with a smile "You are really spoiled."
Misty got angry. "Why are you insulting me again?"
Alex showed a serious expression when he said, "This is not an insult but the truth."
He looked at Misty and started to explain.
"Being spoiled does not mean that you are a good or a bad person, but that you do not understand how normal people feel or what normal people experience.
"It's like when a rich child doesn't understand why these poor, starving people don't just buy something to eat. For most rich children, food is worthless so they don't understand it."
Alex doesn't think that Misty is a bad person because she doesn't understand what a normal or poor person feels but he feels that is really a bit silly for her age to be so ignorant.
Misty looked confused when she said, "But I didn't say that."
Alex looked serious. "Yes, but you said something similar naive.
He started explaining to Misty.
"You pretend that it is something special that you train in the wild and that you, therefore, deserve to be stronger than me. Just that you think that shows that you do not understand what a normal trainer experiences.
"I personally have to spend my first 6 months as an adult in a job that exploited me and underpaid me, but I couldn't quit because I needed the money. "
Alex explained his starting experience but without revealing his experience in Team Rocket.
"After I had enough money to buy my starter Pokemon, I only had a few weeks before I had to go in the Wildness with a Pokemon below level 20. I didn't have enough money to wait any longer."
"Believe me when I tell you, I haven't had many near-dead experiences, but I've had a few near-dead experiences. Once a Pidgeotto suddenly stopped fighting with my Zubat and started attacking me. I was only able to save myself because I have hidden behind a tree. "
"Once I was almost lured into a trap by an elite-level Victreebel. It uses a honey-like smell ..."
Alex started to share his experience as a Rookie trainer.
Alex didn't have many life-threatening moments. Most of them were from the time he was still a rookie trainer and that although he was also a very careful Trainer as a Rookie.
"And although I have experienced so many dangerous situations as a Rookie, I can promise you that I am one of the Rookie trainers who have experienced the least life-threatening situation than other poor Rookie trainers have."
Alex looked at Misty and said with a smile, "The death rate for Rookie trainers is so ridiculously high, even though there are so rich trainers like you who impact the statistics. Although I don't know the death rate for normal Rookie trainers... I'm relatively sure that the death rate for poor trainers or normal trainers must be ridiculously high. "
"Do you understand now why I say that you are spoiled?"
Misty's face doesn't change but Alex could see in her eyes how much his words shocked her.
Alex didn't have a bad opinion of Misty but he doesn't really want to talk to such an inexperienced kid.
Misty did not say anything for a few moments. She didn't know what to say.
After hearing about Alex's experience as a Rookie and that he described it as a relatively "safe" experience, she felt an unpredictable shock.
She never understood why the death rate of Rookie Trainer is so high and she hadn't thought about it, but now it all adds up.
Misty got up from her seat and went somewhere else without exchanging a word with Alex.
Alex watched as Misty tried to process this knowledge and showed a slightly surprised expression.
He didn't think that Misty would give up her standing so quickly and face the truth.
Many prefer to live in a comfortable fantasy than to accept the cold truth.
Alex showed an interesting expression as if he was interested in what Misty turned "into" after processing it all.
A staff member came into the room and said, "The opening ceremony is about to begin. Everyone, please follow me."
Alex and the other Participants followed the staff member who led them to the Arena.
When Alex and the other Participants entered the arena, they saw spectator seats filled with people. this giant Arena was crowded, and no place was left out.
Alex, who saw this sea of ??people felt excitement and agitation. He had never seen so many people looking at him.
It was a lot more intense than the Kanto rookie tournament and Alex started to show a slightly excited expression.
Alex saw several Elite-level Pokémon flying in the air and saw how these Pokemon use moves that are on Master rank to create an enormous firework.
At the same time, music began to play that was familiar to Alex. He only knew that this music sounded completely the same as the games in the first-gen.
The participants lined up in the middle of the arena at the same time as the fireworks exploded over the arena and the music was playing.
Alex was not a person who is easy to influence but he also felt excited and Alex's whole body was full of energy.
