Chapter 335: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 335
Alex sat in his chair, as he considered various tactics and how best to increase his chances of winning in his next match.
He suddenly noticed how his TRH device on the table next to him started to glow.
[call me when you see this]
Alex look at his TRH device and he smiled when he saw this direct message from Maria.
He began calling her and after less than 5 seconds, Maria answered his call.
"Hey, Maria. Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Are you bored?"
"... I'm starting to believe that I'm your first girlfriend."
Alex flashed a smile as he said, "Haha, that's so mean."
Then he said in a slightly serious tone, "But I already told you, I only had one girlfriend in this life."
"??? Why are you saying it so weirdly? It sounds like you've lived more than once."
Alex said in a non-serious tone, "Ohh no, you found out my secret. This is my second life and in my second life, I had a harem...Ahh, I was also immortal."
Maira said nothing for a few seconds and when Alex wanted to say another word, Maria ended the call.
She didn't give him a chance and ended the call without saying a word.
Alex thought with a smile, "perhaps a bit too many jokes in a row?. But I didn't think they were all that bad..."
At the same time, he writes a message to Maria.
[Why so touchy today?.]
[Alex. how old are you?]
[17]
[...Why do I have such a retard as my boyfriend?]
[...Why do I have such a bitchy girlfriend?]
Alex was pretty sure that today is one of the days when Maria was in a bad mood and less tolerant of his jokes than usual.
When he already thought that she will ignore him today, he heard how he got a call on his TRH device.
Alex showed a slightly surprised expression and he took the call from Maria without much thinking.
Although Maria's words were rude and he had a reason to be angry with her (if he want to find one), Alex is not that sensitive to getting angry when Maria is a bit rough. Apart from the fact that he wasn't exactly sociable to Maria himself.
Alex knew his relationship with Maria was different than his previous ones.
Neither attaches much importance to verbal words unless they are mean in a 100% serious way said. Alex doesn't even remember when they both seriously insulted each other.
Alex put his TRH device to his ear and said with a smile, "I thought my jokes weren't that bad."
Maria rolled her eyes at that (Alex couldn't see that) and said in her usual tone, "Well, they weren't really bad. But you've had better jokes."
Alex showed a curious expression as he said, "Really? You make me curious. What's my best joke?"
Maria said with a slightly happy tone, "Ohh you're so curious? too bad you teased your perfect Girlfriend today and she suddenly doesn't feel like telling you the answer."
Alex just looked at his TRH device and started thinking about whether he should have tried more to prevent Lisa and Maria from becoming friends.
But almost immediately he dismissed that thought as he thought, 'No. Maria already had vicious traits before she met Lisa. Luckily she doesn't act like that during ***.'
Alex stopped thinking about some nonsense when he said, "Ok, Maria. What's up? Do you have something important to say to me or is this a normal chat?"
Maria showed a satisfied expression when she successfully teased Alex. Usually, Alex is the dominant person in their conversations and it's rarely the case where she can successfully overwhelm Alex.
She flashed a warm smile as she said, "Ahh, I don't have anything special to say except... Good luck for tomorrow."
Alex flashed a smile as he said, "Thanks."
After a few seconds pause, Alex said, "Hey, why don't you come over here and we can..."
Maria immediately understood what Alex meant by these words. She thought for a few seconds if she should accept this invitation.
Although she didn't mind having fun with Alex today, she knew that Alex didn't really have time today and she felt that it would be better for Alex if he had some time to think about his next fight today.
Maria would never say that though. She just said in a cold tone, "No."
Alex showed a slightly disappointed expression. He had been thinking about different tactics for different situations for a couple of hours and he was feeling a bit exhausted.
Maria said musing in a playful tone, "Ohh, by the way, I watched the show after the fights. Did you know you have a new title now?. hehe, Master of tactics."
Alex's right eye twitched slightly when he heard that title. He found these unnecessary titles that trainers are given so inappropriately.
He tried to say in an indifferent tone, "Yes, I know about it."
Maria only laughed for a few seconds and said pensively. "You are so cute."
Alex suppressed the urge to end the call to Maria. He was like, 'Fuck, how does she know that I don't like that name? Did she recognize it from my tone? No, I'm usually a good liar. Fuck, that doesn't make any sense.'
He continued to say in an indifferent tone, "You have so many mood swings today. Am I imagining it or is today your special day?"
Maria didn't let Alex provoke her and she said with a happy tone, "Nice try. But if you're trying to change the subject, don't make it so obvious."
"Not really, a master of tactics if you ask me."
Alex started to find it funny as he continued talking to Maria.
They both talked for another 30 minutes and although they made fun of each other the whole time, Alex and Maria had the whole span a smile on their faces, as they talked to each other.
Crobat, who heard the whole conversation, with his good ears, just looked at Alex as he said softly, "human beings are really weird."
