Pokemon: Master of tactics

Chapter 166 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 166 (Bonus )

Alex suddenly had a good idea while thinking about which of his Pokémon should fight against Steelix. Alex's other Pokémon also stood on the edge to watch this fight.

He called out Crobat and Scizor from their Pokeballs and said, "We'll decide the one who will be fighting through a little game." ​​

Crobat and Scizor looked at Alex confusedly when they heard these sketchy words.

Alex started to smile when he said, "I'm going to think of a number from 1 to 10 in my head, and you have to guess which number I came up with. Whoever is close wins and can fight Steelix."

Crobat looked with scornful eyes when he heard about this 'game'. He felt that his trainer really has no imagination and could only come up with such stupid games.

Scizor showed an indifferent expression in contrast to Crobat. He didn't care what stupid game Alex came up with as long as he gets to fight.

"Ok, both pick a number from 1 to 10."

Scizor immediately stated the number '5'.

Crobat, who heard this, immediately showed dissatisfaction as he said, "Hey, why do you get to put a number first? I want the number 5. Why don't you choose number 2 since you are also No.2."

"Is that so? Then, you should choose the highest number 10, perfectly representing your bloated stomach and your weight, you fat bat!"

Alex, who had no time to waste(‽), stopped their bickering immediately before it could get worse.

"Crobat, take another number and stop complaining."

Crobat showed a displeased expression before saying, "6."

Alex nodded and said the number he had imagined, "The number was 8, and Crobat wins with the number 6."

Scizor looked annoyed when he said, "Why is that arrogant bat always so lucky?"

Crobat showed a gleeful smile when he said, "This has nothing to do with luck. Instead, it's all about ability. But I can understand that with your lack of talent, you haven't been able to realize that."

Scizor's eyes twitched when he heard this. He said, irked, "Hmph! I'll enjoy watching you lose this fight."

Crobat smiled when he said, "You mean like in our last fight where you lost to me, and you were bleeding on the floor after getting unconscious."

Scizor immediately got mad when Crobat mentioned the fight. "Shut up! I only lost because you kept running away like a coward."

"Haha, says the idiot who will do the same if he can win like that. Don't you feel ashamed to show your double standards?"

"Hey, fat bat! I advise you to shut up now, or else I will show you that your last victory was only a fluke."

Alex showed an annoyed expression when he said aloud, "Shut up, both of you! I don't have time for your nonsense. Scizor, go where others are standing."

Scizor showed an annoyed expression but did as Alex told him.

Jasmine saw the Crobat was on the battlefield and pulled out her Steelix's Pokéball and released him.

Steelix, who was more than 10 meters long and with its head being more than 6 meters high, appeared in front of Alex. It had its head high as he looked down at the battlefield.

Alex, who saw this giant Steelix, couldn't help but feel a little bit intimidated.

The field is a bit smaller than at the Kanto rookie tournament, so the Steelix looks even bigger and more intimidating than it should.

While the giant size of Steelix still allows Crobat to use hit and run tactic, it is not very effective. Fortunately, Steelix is a slow Pokémon, so this tactic is still very effective against him.

Alex immediately started looking at the information of Steelix.

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

Gender: Male

Potential: Deep Gold

Moves:

- Bind, Fire Fang, Harden, Ice Fang, Mud Sport, Tackle, Thunder Fang, Screech, Rock Throw, Rage, Rock Tomb, Sandstorm, Slam, Rock Polish, Dragon Breath, Iron Tail

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

Alex, who read the information, had to change his opinion a little bit. He couldn't help but think that this will be a very challenging fight.

First, Crobat cannot use many of his best moves, and he also has a level and type disadvantage.

Moves like [Cross Poison], [Toxic], [Sludge Bomb], [Taunt] are completely useless. And moves like [Fly], [Swift], [Facade] are severely weakened.

Especially the fact that Crobat cannot use the move [Taunt] to prevent Steelix from making himself fast with [Rock Polish] is very annoying for Alex.

Crobat actually only has 1 good move that can win him the fight, and this it is none other than his good old pal, [Shadow Ball].

[Shadow Ball] does not hit Steelix effectively. But since it is an Expert rank move that does Special damage, Steelix with his weak Sp. Def will suffer a lot of damage.

Unfortunately, this fight is still unfair on paper for Crobat, who was heavily countered.

Alex thought about a tactic he just came up with to increase Crobat's chance. Although these tactics weren't very well thought out with various options, Alex didn't have enough time to strategize a better tactic.

But even with this disadvantage, Alex was quite confident for his victory.

"Hmm, as long as Jasmine doesn't pull up a surprise tactic, this should be a sure win." Thought Alex as he considered his tactics.

"If I had more time, I could probably come up with a better plan. Well, it doesn't matter anymore."

He also didn't really care because it's not about anything. "In the end, it's just a practice fight. Let's see what happens."

Crobat and Steelix were getting ready to fight in the arena when Alex pressed the 'shield' button.

"3,2,1, Let's Go."
