Chapter 334: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 334
Freya said loudly into her mic, "Incredible, Participant Alex defeated another of Ezra's Pokemon without his Blaziken taking any damage at all. What an incredible combo of strength and intelligence. What...Ahh, Participant Ezra left the arena without a word and he was disqualified by the referee. While I can understand why he's doing this, it's a bit disappointing. We can hear the spectators in the Stadium booing Ezra as he exits the Stadium. It seems that the spectators are not satisfied with these results either."
Professor W?lhder also showed a slightly disappointed expression when he said, "It's really a bit disappointed that contestant Ezra gave up so early. Even though it will become a 2v1 Pokemon battle, it's not impossible for him to win it."
Erika said in a light tone, "I can understand that many are disappointed with Ezra, but I still can understand why he does that. His two strongest Pokemon were defeated and only his strongest Pokemon, which was level 54, could match 1 of Alex's Pokemon. his chances of winning this fight were extremely slim if he even had one. I don't think Ezra deserved that harsh criticism."
Professor W?lhder flashed a small smile as he said, "You're just too nice to Ezra, Erika. While I agree that Participant Ezra didn't really stand a good chance of winning this fight, he shouldn't give up right away. He hasn't that great of a disadvantage that he cannot compensate it with good tactics.
Erika showed a serious expression. "But he doesn't deserve that treatment. He's already taken a lot of mental damage from Alex in this match. The last thing he needs is more people beating him down."
Freya and Professor W?lhder showed a surprised expression when they saw the expression on Erika's face. Erika always has a soft and friendly expression so both are surprised when she shows such a serious expression.
Erika started saying to the camera, "I would ask the viewers not to further humiliate Ezra, but to praise Alex for his impressive performance. Ezra didn't make any big mistakes and just looked bad because he was fighting Alex. as someone who Has also fought against Alex, I can tell the viewers with certainty that, tactically, he is the strongest trainer of his generation."
Freya thought with a surprised expression 'She's purposely deflecting the topic so that Ezra doesn't get further shamed in this show and so that his reputation doesn't suffer any further damage. She even makes it look normal by putting herself in the arc of fire. ...How can someone be so nice?'
Professor W?lhder started showing a slight smile as he said, "Erika, you're right. Alex had put in an unusual performance and Ezra really didn't have a bad fight. He made a few mistakes but against an opponent like Alex it's easy to make more mistakes."
Erika's serious expression suddenly turned shy as she replied, "Professor W?lhder... I'm sorry about that... I didn't want to put anyone down. Your criticism is fair, but I..."
Professor W?lhder started to laugh slightly as he said, " Haha, It's ok Erika. You don't need to apologize, I'm not that sensitive. haha"
Freya flashed a slight smile and she started to change the subject, "But, I'm impressed with competitor Alex. He was in total control the whole fight."
Professor W?lhder said, "He really is a special trainer that you seldom see. As far as I know, he didn't even have a person to help him or a teacher, but he's already fighting better than most Elite trainers without even half as much experience as them. Truly a Monster."
Erika showed an expression of admiration, as she said, "I can only agree. Especially after seeing his fight against Lt. Surge. I can only describe Alex as an abnormal genius."
Freya said with a smile, "It seems that Alex has already had the admiration of both of my co-commentators. Although I have to say, I'm also impressed. Alex is truly a master of tactics."
Erika said with a gentle smile, "Master of tactics? It sounds better than the nickname Monster. hehe although both fit."
Professor W?lhder said with a playful smile, "Master of tactics, I like it. I hope Alex will be happy about the new nickname that was given to him today. haha"
Freya said, "Professor W?lhder, the next match starts in 1 minute so let's talk about it later. Although I'd like to continue talking about it, we still have a show to do."
...
Alex, who was sitting in his Hotel room with his Pokemon, looked at the TV with a serious expression.
".. And so we now only 16 participants left, who will continue to fight tomorrow."
Freya then said with a smile for the camera, "But we have one more thing that the viewers will like. We already got all 8 fights for tomorrow from the studio and I won't reserve it from the dear viewers."
After she said that, an image of the 8 fights appeared on Alex's TV.
Alex looked at these 8 different fights but was only interested in two.
----------
Participant 7: Gary (Oak)
Pokémon: Alakazam LV 51, Rhydon LV 52, Arcanine LV 52, Pidgeot LV 52, Exeggutor LV 54, Blastoise LV 55
VS
Participant 20: Alex
Pokémon: Bastiodon LV 49, Blaziken LV 49, Umbreon LV 50, Gardevoir LV 50, Scizor LV 50, Crobat LV 50,
-----
Participant 8: Gideon
Pokémon: Electrode LV 50, Electrode LV 51, Raichu LV 53, Magnezone LV 53, Porygon LV 54, Electrode LV 54,
Vs
Participant 9: Ash
Pokémon: Tauros LV 49, Muk LV 50, Heracross LV 50, Snorlax LV 52, Pikachu LV 54, Charizard LV 55
-----------
Alex thinks that all the other fights except for these two fights are fully predictable and already have a winner.
None of the top 6 participants would have a problem defeating their opponent. The level disadvantage is just too big and Alex didn't believe that these fights would be even remotely close.
Even His fight is the second easiest fight to win, though his fight is extremely difficult for Alex to win and almost impossible for other trainers to win.
The main reason Crobat was able to exchange 1 for 1 against Heracross is that Crobat had an almost perfect type advantage against Heracross and Alex used it optimally.
Against Blastoise, which is even one level higher than Heracross, Alex doesn't have even one Pokemon that has a type advantage. let alone, an almost perfect type advantage as Crobat had against Heracross.
Except that each of Gary's Pokemon also has a level advantage over each of Alex's Pokemon. Gary as an opponent just doesn't remotely compare to Ezra.
Alex turned off the TV and he started thinking about his match against Gary.
