Alex showed a relatively satisfied expression when he saw the info from his next opponent.
He is the 4 weakest opponent he can get. Even if he thinks his opponent is stronger than his number displays.
Because it's a 3 vs 3 fight, is this opponent with one or two high-level Pokemon a problematic opponent and maybe even harder to beat than an opponent with a participant number of 11 or 10.
But Alex was still relatively satisfied with the opponent he got. He didn't have to fight one of the top 6 who he didn't stand a chance against. That alone made Alex happy.
Freya looked at Alex's expression and said with a smile, "Are you happy with your opponent?"
Alex just looked at Freya with a smile and didn't say anything for 3 seconds. He just looked at Freya. His expression, looked to Freya as if Alex were saying: I see what you are trying to do
Just when Freya thought, that Alex didn't want to answer this question anymore, Alex suddenly said with a slight smile, "It's not my ideal opponent, if that's what you mean."
Freya showed a curious expression as she said, "Ohh if I may ask, who is your desired opponent?"
Alex flashed a huge smile as he said, "Gary Oak."
Freya, Erika, and Professor W?lhder all showed a surprised expression when they heard Alex want to fight.
No one thought that Alex would want to fight such a strong trainer.
As Professor Oak's grandson, Gary Oak is extremely famous, and ever since he became a Pokemon trainer, he has been dubbed the title as the second Professor Oak.
This title showed how high his talent is rated by all experts and normal trainers.
Freya, who felt that this topic was becoming very interesting, quickly asked, "Why do you want to fight such a strong trainer in the second round? "
Alex just gave a soft smile as he said his answer. even though there was nothing soft about his answer.
"His reputation is stronger than he really is. I want to defeat him through my sheer skill and show all people that he's nothing special."
Alex doesn't really believe the words he just said. He doesn't know how talented Gary Oak is in this world. Alex just said those words to get a "beatable opponent" for the round of 16.
After Alex's next fight there will only be 16 participants in this Tournament left and because the top 8 cannot fight each other in the next round, means that Alex will get next an opponent from the top 8 Participants.
Of the top 8 competitors that Alex can get as an opponent, only Gary and Gideon are beatable. Even though Alex's chances are extremely bad even against these two.
Alex was very sure that the tournament organizers were planning matches that would interest viewers or he wouldn't fight Misty in the first round. He wants to use this show to manipulate who his next opponent becomes.
As long as he can hype a match, he can influence who becomes his next opponent. Or at least increase the chance to fight against this opponent.
Gideon is probably an easier opponent than Gary, but with Gideon as his opponent, it's a lot harder to build hype. He's not even popular as Alex.
This fight isn't nearly as interesting as the fight between two very talented young trainers.
Freya gave an expression of disbelief as she looked at Alex.
She then flashed a smile as she said, "Trainer Alex, is that another of your tactics to confuse your opponent?"
Alex has a serious expression as he replies, "No, I'm serious. As I said at the beginning of this show, none of my opponents will believe a word I say on this show and will fight me to their fullest strength. or at least, I think so"
Freya shows a slightly confused expression when she sees Alex's serious expression.
"But why are you saying that when you know it won't change anything?"
Alex smiles upon hearing this question.
"It's very simple. I want Gary Ork to give his all in his fight against me in case we should fight each other in the next round. But even if he uses his full strength and his Pokemon are much higher level than mine, he still has not a good chance against me."
Alex continued to smile softly as he said the arrogant words.
"I even hope that Gary tries even harder than usual. That would make my win look even better."
Freya, Erika, and even Professor W?lhder were all a bit puzzled why Alex suddenly said such arrogant words.
Neither believed that Gary would be influenced by Alex's words or that this tactic would help Alex in his fight. It could even be a disadvantage if his opponent made an extra effort against Alex for saying those words.
None of the three believed that Alex didn't know that and would make such an obvious mistake.
The three of them were very confused as to why Alex unexpectedly used such a pointless provocation.
Professor W?lhder looked at Alex and said with a slightly confused expression, "Alex, do you have a personal problem with Gary?"
Alex didn't say anything for a few seconds. like, he doesn't want to answer this question.
Although Alex's expression is emotionless, he was actually very happy that Professor W?lhder had asked such a question.
Freya, who noticed that the situation was getting a bit cold, started to change the subject.
"Dear viewers, We now have a complete list of all 16 fights. I think we will see many interesting fights in the next round."
When Freya said that, the program started showing the info of every individual fight.
Alex, suddenly seeing the info from a participant, gave a slightly surprised expression, "WHAT?"
