Pokemon: Master of tactics

Chapter 318

The Program slowly began to talk about the Participants, and Alex started again to listen carefully to the program, as he prepared the food for him and his Pokemon.

Freya smiled and started asking questions. "Gym leader Erika, can you tell us why so many Gym leaders are taking part this year? As a Gym Leader, you must surely have a guess"

Erika gave a slightly thoughtful expression. "Oh, that's a very difficult question to answer. I can't read anyone else's thoughts, you know. But if I had to guess, I would guess that achieving the Champion-level, one reason for two of three Gym leaders a role in it played. "

Freya asked, "Professor Wälhder, what do you think?"

--

Professor Wälhder thought for a few seconds before he said with an uncertain expression, "Hmm, I have no idea. It would be better if you asked the top 3 participants yourself."

Freya smiled when she replied, "Professor Wälhder, we tried to get an interview with these three, but none of the three were interested in talking to us for more than a minute."

After she had said that, The program showed three separate chips from the top three participants that, each answering one question.

All three were asked the same question: whether they think they can win This Tournament.

Koga just gave a cold expression when he said, "Yes" and said nothing more. the chip was extremely short.

Lt. Surge answers the question with the words, "Maybe. I don't have the feeling that I'm not the most powerful trainer in the entire tournament. HEY, what are you looking surprised at? Tell me who is better than me?"

The reporter showed a look of fear when he saw Lt. Surge's eyes. He only replied with the words, "I also believe that you are the strongest." and finish the interview.

Sabrina was the only person of the three who showed a smile.

She said, "hehe, what a predictable question. But to answer this question." She paused for a moment before saying, with a self-conscious expression, "It is of course me."

Although Alex saw that Sabrina made the "nicest" impression of the three, he knew that Sabrina is not such a gentle person. Alex heard the rumors about her and he did not believe that all the Rumors are completely untrue.

Freya showed a charming smile as she said, "As we can all see, each of the three participants is very confident."

Professor Wälhder said, "I think this is justifiably confident. Although Sabrina and Lt. Surge have a level disadvantage, both have amazing advantages that can compensate for that."

Freya nodded and explain to the camera, "Professor Wälhder, you are right. Sabrina has extremely strong psychic powers, that are so strong that she can even strengthen her Psychic-type Pokemon in combat and so can compensate for the level disadvantage when using it on Psychic-type Pokemon."

"And Lt. Surge had a lot of experience and his tactics are on a very high level. Tactics, in particular, should not be underestimated if some of our viewers remember the outcome of the last Kanto Rookie tournament."

As always, Erika showed a gentle expression. "I think that all three participants have a good chance to win it. I'm already looking forward to the tournament."

Freya began to change the subject again.

"Although the top three have the most chance of winning the tournament, we have other interesting participants that we don't want to leave out."

Alex watched for a few minutes but saw neither himself nor the individuals that he recognized.

When Alex already thought he wouldn't appear on this show, he suddenly saw his name on the TV.

-----

Participant 20: Alex

Pokémon: Bastiodon LV 49, Blaziken LV 49, Umbreon LV 50, Gardevoir LV 50, Scizor LV 50, Crobat LV 50,

-----

Freya looked at the camera when she said, "Maybe, some viewers recognize this participant."

"He is the winner of the last Kanto Rookie tournament and the only person in the history of the tournament who won the Kanto Rookie tournament with a number higher than 4."

Professor Wälhder smiled softly as he added, "Yes, he's a really remarkably trainer. Especially when I'm thinking about how quickly his Pokémon level up, I can't see Alex as anything other than an Anomaly."

Erika smiled as she added, "I can only agree with Professor Wälhder. Alex is a talented trainer with an very sharp mind and a trainer, where I can see a very bright future ahead of him."

Freya laughed lightly and said to her two guests, "hehe, it seems that Alex is not unpopular here."

After a short pause, she said, "But what is a talented trainer without a rival ?."

Right after she said that the show started showing the info of a new participant.

---------

Participant 26: Misty

Pokémon: Milotic LV 45, Quagsire LV 46, Lapras LV 47, Dewgong LV 47, Golduck LV 49, Starmie LV 50,

----------

Alex looked at Misty's data and showed a smile.

He thought he was going to have a level advantage over Misty, but he didn't think it would be that big of a level advantage.

Although he didn't understand why the program pretended that Misty was his rival.

He has never lost to Misty and the strength gap will only increase in the future so that he does not believe that Misty will have even one chance in the future to win against him.

Her first fight with him was her best chance to defeat him.

Alex finished preparing the food and he started to eat with his Pokemon while he was still watching the show.
