Pokemon: Master of tactics

Chapter 315

Alex knew that his opponent only had two real options that he could send in this 1 vs 1 fight.

Either Flygon on LV 51 or Steelix on LV 49.

Although Flygon is two levels stronger than Steelix, Steelix has a type advantage against Gardevoir so that his opponent may take Steelix because of this reason.

Alex knew this, but he still chose to pick Gardevoir for this fight.

Even if his opponent takes Stellix, Alex believed the Gardevoir against Steelix is still in Gardevoir's favor.

Steelix had a bad Sp. Def and a terrible speed so the Gardevoir had a good chance even with the type disadvantage. perhaps even a better chance than against Flygon.

In addition, She was a level higher than Steelix which is not trivial on the elite levels. it is still a small advantage even if it is only 1 level.

The referee made a hand gesture to indicate that both participants should call out their Pokémon.

Gardevoir and Flygon both left their Pokeballs at the same time.

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

Alex looked slightly shocked when he saw 6 Moves on the Master-rank.

This Trainer had apparently taken several years to train 6 moves up to the maximin and Alex couldn't help but praise the intelligence of this person inwardly.

Alex knew that it would take an S-rank Pokemon at least 6 to 12 months to train a non-Innate Talent Move to the Master-rank.

Although "all" trainers don't understand why there is such a big-time difference between the S-rank Pokemon, Alex knew the reason.

Alex was sure that Shallow Gold, Gold, Deep Gold Pokemon all have a different Speed to train a Move to the Master rank.

Especially when he read, in an expensive book, that all S-rank Pokemon were placed into three categories in this book.

This book describes the results of various tests with many different S-rank Pokemon. All the S-rank Pokemon were trained with the same training method and trained the same move. In the end, all Pokemon could be divided into precisely three groups.

6 months, 9 months, and 12 months.

the book writer didn't understand why there was such a smooth separation from training time and not proportionate Pokemon with 11, 10, 8, and 7 months of training time. while Alex understood immediately the answer.

Shallow Gold: 12 months

Gold: 9 months

Deep Gold: 6 months

But Alex knew that these are only the absolute best times that are only achievable, with perfect training methods, food, and training time.

As long as you're not ridiculously rich and training like a madman all the time, it will take you longer.

Alex didn't know how long this "old" man had his Flygon but he believed it should be at least a couple of years.

He already thought that the fight would not be easy but he didn't think that he would have to fight such a Monster.

At that moment, Alex was so happy that he had planned this fight thoroughly and that it didn't have to come up with completely new tactics.

The old-looking man looked at Alex with serious expressions and gave a small smile.

The referee didn't waste any time and immediately gave the signal to start the fight.

"3,2,1, Go"

"Sandstorm" (Flygon)

The old-looking man only uses 1 word to give his command faster.

Alex didn't say anything but Gardevoir immediately started preparing a move, after the referee began the fight.

Flygon finished his Move shortly before Gardevoir, even if he started his Move a little later. A dense and high-rise [Sandstrom] surrounded the whole arena.

Flygon was one of the few Pokemon species that can see perfectly through a [Sandstrom]. Because of the unique eyes of the Flygon Species, it is possible to see through dense sand streams without any problems.

Alex couldn't see anything in the Arena but thanks to his psychic powers he still knew what was going on in this [Sandstorm].

Neither Gardevoir's nor his vision is restricted by the [Sandstorm].

Although Gardevoir is harmed quite a bit by the force of The [Sandstorm], Alex had a calm expression on his face. He didn't think it would be a long fight so that it will not be a big problem.

In the [Sandstorm], Gardevoir was using [Reflect] and was improving her defenses for some time.

After that, she immediately started preparing the move [Icy Wind].

Although this Move is only on the Normal-rank, it was very useful in this fight.

It's not just an Ice-Type Move but also a Move that, after a successful hit slowed Flygon's speed slightly down.

Alex knew how important the speed of a Pokemon is against a Pokemon that [Teleport] can use.

The slower Flygon is, the better Gardevoir can kiting him.

"Dragon Dance" (Flygon)

Alex who heard this continued to show a calm expression, even if the situation looked very dangerous.

He felt that the fight was completely going according to his plan so far.

Flygon was not only finished faster but managed to use [Dragon Dance] almost twice for the one time the Gardevoir used [Icy Wind].

But Flygon lost more than 15% of Hp after getting hit by Gardevoir's [Icy Wind].

Gardevoir immediately started preparing [Dazzling Gleam] without Alex having to say a word.

Because everything went according to plan, Alex didn't have to say anything and he can just watch, Gardevoir execute the plan.

Old-looking Man felt like he had already won after his Flygon had successfully used [Dragon Dance] twice without taking much damage.

"Flygon use [Fly] and show this kid his place."
