Pokemon: Master of tactics

Chapter 128 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 128 (Bonus )

Area # 14.

Alex and his Pokémon continued to explore the area together, looking for an Eevee. ​​

Although Alex wanted an Eevee, he would add it to his team only if it meets his minimum requirements. Unfortunately, he rarely met an Eevee in this area, and each of those Eevee was too talentless for Alex.

Alex hadn't even seen a Shallow Silver Eevee.

While walking, Alex and his Pokémon were often attacked by other Pokémon that Alex and co. easily defeated. He tried to train Torchic or Shieldon whenever he came across a weak Pokémon. He didn't want to miss these little opportunities.

Crobat notified Alex that a Pokémon was hanging on a tree 50 meters from here.

Alex, who was walking in this direction, saw without any surprise that it was a young Ariados waiting for prey on this tree.

-------------------------------------

Pokémon: Ariados

LV: 22

Type: Bug / Poison

Abilities: Swarm

Gender: Male

Potential: Shallow Bronze

Moves:

- Constrict, Poison Sting, String Shot, Absorb, Infestation, Scary Face, Night Shade, Shadow Sneak

-------------------------------------

Alex thought, "Although he is a bit too strong, I can probably try Torchic for this fight. Torchic who has not yet experienced a difficult fight can use the valuable experience well."

When the group was only 20 meters away, Alex said, "Torchic, you will be the one fighting this time."

Alex's Pokémon looked at him with surprise that he let Torchic fight such a tough opponent. This group knows that Torchic would very likely not be able to win against this opponent.

Although Torchic has very good base values for a Pokémon with two evolution, it cannot be compared to an Ariados who is already fully evolved. Together with the relatively large level advantage, Torchic's chances are not particularly good.

The only 2 advantages of Torchic are type advantage and Overheat being on the Expert rank. Together with her okayish Sp. Atk of 70 and the move Sunny Day, Torchic should be able to inflict a ridiculous amount of damage on Ariados in a short time.

Although it sounds like Torchic should easily win with these advantages, Alex thought differently.

Torchic's best move, Overheat, can be used effectively only once or twice at max. So the Torchic has to damage enough with these hits to defeat Ariados or at least deal as much damage that Torchic can and then defeat him with Peck.

That means if Torchic doesn't hit Ariados twice with her move Overheat, she will automatically lose. Together with the fact that She can't take much damage herself, the Torchic's win rate shouldn't be very high. At least without the help of Alex.

Alex, who knew this, would of course not let Torchic fight Ariados alone.

After he decided that Torchic should fight, he went to Gardevoir. He told her via Telepathy, "Gardevoir, prepare the move Psychic to use in an emergency if it becomes dangerous!"

Gardevoir looked at Alex with a gentle smile after hearing his voice in her mind.

Pokémon are usually so robust that they would hardly take any permanent damage unless they are unconscious. So the Gardevoir thought that Alex was very, very careful.

Even without this, she and Alex's other Pokémon can easily save Torchic if something happens.

Alex went to Torchic and explained what to watch out for when she fights and that she should listen to his guidelines.

Torchic showed a lively expression and no fear for fighting against a much stronger and more experienced Pokémon.

"Ok, Torchic. Start with Sunny Day."

Torchic started to use Sunny Day without thinking, and the surroundings suddenly became warmer.

At that moment, Alex thought that Torchic would be a good heater.

Ariados, who had been watching Alex's group on the tree the whole time, saw Torchic suddenly make a move that made the air warmer.

Although it didn't want to fight this strong group, it realized that it no more had a choice.

Without hesitation, it started preparing a move while sitting in the tree.

"Torchic, now use Overheat."

Alex saw that Ariados was preparing a move and knew that the best chance to use Overheat was now. For Ariados, who had no move on the Expert rank, it was impossible to make any movement while preparing that move. So Torchic could easily get a free hit.

Overheat, which is on the Expert rank, was done before Ariados could finish preparing its move.

A big ball of fire flew straight towards Ariados with quick departure.

Ariados was hit and was thrown off the tree. At the same time, the whole tree started to burn on which Ariados was sitting.

To Alex's surprise, the tree stopped burning after a few seconds. Alex, who didn't quite understand why this happened, didn't think about it but concentrated on the fight.

Ariados lost a ridiculous amount of HP from that 1 hit. It looked like he lost more than 70% HP.

Although it is in pain, it still used the move that it had prepared.

Two large pink-tipped needles were thrown towards Torchic when Ariados was using Poison Sting.

Torchic tried to evade but was still hit, and the spot the needles hit show pink color.

Alex, who knows that Torchic was badly poisoned, showed no nervous expression. he knew that the fight was as good as won if he didn't make a mistake.

As Ariados was preparing his next move, Alex said with to smile, "Torchic, repeat the move."

Torchic, who was a bit faster now, used the move Overheat and successfully defeated a stronger opponent.

"Easier than expected."

Alex saw how quickly Torchic can inflict damage on a Pokémon and was really impressed.

As he thought about these things, Torchic suddenly started to glow.
