Pokemon: Master of tactics

Chapter 317

Alex, who was still sleeping in his bed, suddenly began to notice how the sun was shining in his room. So he removed his laziness and woke up completely. As he sat on the bed for a few seconds with his half-closed eyes, he first stretched his body to remove the rigidness left due to the night's sleep. After a big yawn, he got out of the bed.

Although he was still very tired, he was very excited for today.

Today begins not only the main event of the Kanto champion tournament starts but is also the day when all participants get a new participant number according to their strength.

Alex got in the Kanto Rookie tournament, the number 6 but in this tournament, Alex knew that he could not get a single-digit number. there were too many strong trainers in this tournament to get such a low number.

In the last Kanto Champion tournament, Alex and his Pokemon team would only get number 18.

Alex woke up all of his Pokémon and started preparing their food when he turned on the TV.

Pokenews pre-program was already live and a host and two experts started talking about the tournament.

Alex recognized all three people in this program.

Professor Wälhder and Gym leader Erika as the two Pokemon experts and Freya as the host.

Alex had to admit that this program really doesn't invite no-names and only the real famous individuals.

Although Professor Wälhder is not an extraordinarily famous professor like Samuel Oak, he often appeared on TV and was one of the most famous professors in Kanto.

The show first made a little small talk and only after a few minutes started talking about the things that awakened Alex's interest.

Freya suddenly showed serious expression as she quickly changed the subject.

"I just got the info from the studio that we now have the whole list of all 64 participants."

"As most spectators already know, the participant numbers are distributed to the trainers according to their Pokémon's average level. So that the strongest participants will not meet prematurely at the beginning of the tournament."

"And because the tournament is a 64-tournament with 4 separate brackets, only 1 participant from each bracket will make it to the semi-finals."

When Freya talked, the program started to show the list with all 64 participants on a side screen.

Alex immediately looked at the list and he noticed that only the first 8 are visible in the entire list and the rest of the participants are greatly reduced in size so that Alex could not read the names.

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

Alex saw how many strong trainers participated this year and he was a bit shocked.

The Champion from the last Kanto Champion tournament would only get number 5 this year and not number 1, like last year.

The fact that the top 3 are all strong Gym leaders had greatly increased the grade of this contest.

Alex remembers hearing more than half a year ago that it didn't take Koga and Sabrine long before they each had a Pokemon on the Champion level.

Especially Koga's team surprised Alex a lot.

He had not only 2 Champion level Pokemon but almost 3 Champion level Pokemon

If a trainer has 3 Pokemon at the Champion level, this trainer is considered a champion trainer and fulfills the minimum level required to become an elite four member in a region.

Alex could see that Koga is now almost on a similar level as an elite four member and will probably have a similar strength after a year or two.

But what really surprised Alex was that Gary Oak was in this tournament and how powerful he was.

Above all, Alex remembers that Gary's team was one on one like the team he had in the game, which supported his suspicion that this world had more to do with the games and manga than with the anime.

Although Alex hadn't heard from Red in this world, which discredited that theory a bit.

After Alex saw Gary, he also wonders a bit whether Ash or Red exist in this world and whether they behave one-to-one as they do in the games and anime.
