When Alex saw this huge Pokémon in this spacious office, he couldn't help but think, 'Ah! So she wants to impress her new subordinate with her most majestic Pokémon.'
'Hmm... this Lugia seems to be making relatively little advances when it comes to Move Mastery.'
Alex took another close look at the info of Lugia and compared it with the info he saw six months ago.
Although Alex does not remember all the information of Lugia after six months, he remembered the most important things.
The level, the potential and which move had reached the Expert-rank.
He recalled that Lugia was, at LV 41, had a Shallow Diamond potential and only had two Perfect Talent moves on the Expert rank.
Alex was not surprised by Lisa not being able to improve the potential of Lugia. But the level and the Move Mastery was whole another matter.
The fact that Lugia had risen 7 levels showed that Lisa had trained Lugia at least a lot in the wild and in general.
But there being only two moves on the Master-rank and Lugia having no other move on the Expert-rank was not what Alex expected.
Usually, it is possible for a good trainer to train his SS-rank Pokémon's 1 Perfect Talent Expert-rank move to the Master-rank within a month.
The level shows that Lisa trained Lugia a lot, but the move mastery says the total opposite.
Alex thought for a moment what the reason could be, but he immediately recognized why this was so.
'Is it my fault?' thought Alex with a wry smile.
He often "received" Lugia's [Scales] filled with energy that makes it impossible to train effective move for a period of time.
Reinforcing a [Scale] filled with energy for 1 month in a row ensures that a Pokémon can hardly use moves for the rest of the day.
Maximum enough to have a couple of long fights.
And even after this month, the body has to slowly restore its energy. So it is normal to train its moves in a non-optimal manner for another half a month.
'Hmm, it's really not worth making a Pokémon item if you don't want to waste a lot of time in Move Mastery.'
Move Mastery is a very important part of the strength of a Pokémon, and the money is not worth enough for Alex to hardly be able to advance in Move Mastery.
Alex also started thinking about the potential when he saw that it hadn't changed yet.
Lugia was a born Shallow Diamond like all other Half-Blood legendary Pokémon, but she still couldn't improve her potential.
Her born potential is even better than Steven's Metagross, but it's still on the Shallow Diamond.
'Hmm... Lisa doesn't have to buy any items for Lugia... Wait a minute! Is it not possible for Half-Blood legendary Pokémon to improve their potential?' wondered Alex.
Lisa looked at Alex, who was deep in thoughts and got impatient as she said, "Hey, are you too shocked to say anything, or else why are you standing around like an idiot?
Alex, who heard Lisa berating him, had the feeling that Lisa was in a bad mood today.
He said in a calm manner, "No, I'm just surprised that Executive Lisa has made such a great advance with Lugia."
Lisa's eyes twitched briefly. Although Alex was right that Lugia had gained a lot of levels, her Move Mastery was ridiculously slow.
If she wasn't sure that Alex can not find such details about her Lugia, she would have thought that he was making fun of her.
"Executive Lisa," Before Lisa could say anything, Alex asked with a slightly vague tone, "By any chance, did you buy any items for Lugia to improve its potential? Because it Lugia seems to look quite different today."
Lisa, who heard such a stupid question, felt that Alex was making fun of her.
One could see the slight anger in her eyes as she said, "What are you talking about? Lugia is SS-rank, and it is not possible to reach a higher potential."
Alex smiled when he said, "Haha, I know. I thought Executive Lisa would get it that I was just joking."
Lisa rubbed her forehead and said, "Of all the days where you can be so annoying, it has to be today. Anyway, let's talk about the rookies you want to introduce me to."
Alex didn't say anything and took out papers from his TRH device and gave them to Lisa without uttering a word. He had prepared these papers beforehand. He had told Andrew to make such papers on top 10 and other people who had A-rank Pokémon, keeping in mind that there might be someone with a hidden talent. Though that ended being pointless.
Lisa noticed that Alex wanted to hide the contents of the three rookies and looked at the sheet of paper with a curious expression.

--------------------------
Alex knew how Team Rocket documented its members and also used it to give Lisa the most important information.
everything was very self-explanatory except for talent value you had to adhere to very strict requirements in order to enter the correct number.
Talent value is a number that an appraiser has to give in order to roughly evaluate the potential of a trainer.
A table has to be read that helps to find a correct number in this imprecise system.
---------------------
Talent similar to an Elite Four Member: 100-96
Talent similar to an average Gym Leader: 95-90
Talent similar to an average Team Rocket Executive: 89-85
Talent similar to an average Team Rocket Elite Captain: 84-70
Talent similar to an average Team Rocket Captain: 69-50
Talent similar to an average Team Rocket Elite Member: 49-30
Talent similar to an average Team Rocket Member: 29-1
---------------------
It should be noted that a value of 85 and over there denotes the rookies with the best talent.
As for the values over 90 are very hard to come by and each point is a huge leap in talent.
Although Alex assesses the talent of these rookies, this is only his assessment and not confirmed by Team Rocket so that it will not go into their files and is only used because Lisa has a better understanding of the rookies.
90 is pretty high and Alex doesn't think that Jasper has the same talent as Misty or Brock, whom he rates as low gym leaders.
But Jasper is probably just a little worse than Alex gave a 90 anyway.
He knew that there was a big difference between 89 and 90, so he slightly overrated Jasper.
Lisa saw what Alex had written and couldn't help but smile when she saw Alex write a score of 90 for Jasper. But after reading that Jasper has an S-rank Pokémon that is very faithful, she could understand why Alex wrote that.
She looked at Alex who was standing in front of her and said "Are you sure?"
Alex looked at Lisa and said, "with the potential, I'm 99% sure."
Lisa smiles again and said softly so that the rookie couldn't hear "I'm very satisfied with this rookie, especially with a very talented one. But I'm curious. Why don't you take Jasper himself as a subordinate."
Alex knew that this question was coming he said to himself "I don't like dogs that I can't control. I thought you could understand?"
Lisa didn't say anything for a moment.
After a few seconds she said, "Ok, I owe you a little."
Alex looked at Lisa with a smile and left the room with a smile.
He didn't care what she did with these rookies after hearing those words.
He opened the door in the room and left without saying another word.
