Pokemon: Master of tactics

Follow current nov𝒆ls on 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶

After meeting Nina, Alex had walked in the same direction for 1 hour and on a different path for 2 more hours. After 3 hours, it got dark. So Alex had to find a safe place to sleep. He chose one big tree for that. He put his tent under the tree and let Golbat sleep on the tree, in case a Pokemon wants to attack Alex in the middle of the night.

The next day early morning, Alex was sitting with his three Pokemon and having breakfast with them under the shade of this tree.

Ralts was happily chatting with Golbat and Scyther over breakfast. She is the only member of Alex Family that is friendly and nice. That is why she is so popular. Golbat, Scyther, and Alex are very fond of Ralts.

Alex thought about leaving the forest to escape the chase of Nina, but he decided against it. He doesn't want to run away from something unlikely to happen. Nina is arrogant but not stupid. Why hire several elite trainers for several days to hunt down a trainer just because he slightly offended you. That would be shameful for her too. The fact itself that she needed the help of elite trainers for one unofficial member would show how incompetent she is.

Apart from that, Alex doesn't believe that Nina dares to chase him herself. He made it clear that he would seek revenge if she tries to attack him. That shows Alex's madness. Like a crazy dog, he would bite anyone who tries to harm him. So most likely, she will go to her family to complain. And let them handle him. So, for now, he has lots of time to hide.

Golbat suddenly shouted at breakfast. He warned Alex that a large Pokemon is about to come in this direction. Alex took Ralts and walked behind Scyther and Golbat so that he and Ralts are not easy targets.

After only 5 seconds, Alex saw a large Ursaring walking in his direction.

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

Pokémon: Ursaring

LV: 36

Type: Normal

Abilities: Guts

Gender: Male

Potential: Bronze

Moves: Leer, Scratch, Lick, Fury Swipes, Fake Tears, Feint Attack, Rest, Slash [E]

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

Alex was shocked by a pokemon that is lv 36 only had Bronze potential. That shows how old this Pokemon is. It must have taken a long time to reach that level.

This Ursaring must be the ruler of this area. He moved slowly with an arrogant expression on his face.

He looked at Alex and his Pokemon. He has probably not met any opponents for a long time that could harm him. He was looking at Alex and his Pokemon like food.

Golbat, Scyther, and Alex got mad that this Ursaring is so arrogant. Although this Ursaring is powerful, he is not so strong that he can defeat Alex and his Pokemon alone.

Alex looked coldly at Ursaring and said, "Get away from here. You can't defeat us alone."

He wasn't 100% sure that he could defeat this Ursaring with Scyther and Golbat. He would rate the chance at 85%. He thinks that winning this fight isn't worth the risk. A Bronze Pokemon doesn't make a big difference. Although Ursaring is lv 36, the price does not increase significantly.

Only Pokemon from lv 40 are worth much more. As soon as a Pokemon reaches the Elite Rank, it becomes significantly more powerful than before. For example, one Ursaring that reaches lv 40 can defeat two Ursarings that are lv39. That shows the LV 40 is a very significant level for the strength of Pokemon.

As far as Alex knows, lv 40, 60, and lv 80 are important LV benchmark that makes a Pokemon strong. Although he doesn't know how strong a Pokemon is at LV60 compared to a Pokemon at LV59, he thinks it is a similar increase as at LV 40.

Ursaring ignored Alex's warning and ran in the direction of Alex and his Pokemon.

Alex said aloud, "Golbat use Confuse Ray and then use Sludge Bomb. Scyther uses Agility and Focus Energy before you help Golbat."

After saying that, he got away from the fight with Ralts. Alex wants to keep his distance from the battle to be able to use Ralts's Teleport in case of an emergency. And if he is safe, Golbat and Scyther don't have to worry about him or protect him. And can fight without any hindrance.

Alex told Ralts via Telepathy, "Ralts, use Growl."

Ralts heard Alex's thoughts and used Growl to reduce Ursaring's attack strength.

Growl is a strange move. It can lower the attack power of another Pokemon with shouting. Of course, it depends on the LV of the Pokemon that uses this move to be really useful. For example, if a Ralts that is Lv 12 uses Growl against an Ursaring that is Lv 36, it will hardly reduce the attack power of Ursaring. But if Ralts were also LV 36 or maybe even more, it would be a different matter. It would reduce Ursaring's attack force even more. But Of course, you can not use it infinite times. And it reduces the attack power, but there is also a limit to how much you can do it. It will depend on the mastery Rank of Growl. The upper limit of the amount the total attack power that can get reduced will depend on the LV difference and the rank of the move.

Ursaring noticed that his attacks were a bit weaker. But he ignored it. It barely weakened his attack power.

He saw a yellow ball of light fly in his direction and dodged Golbat's Confuse Ray. Then he jumped in the air and used Slash on Golbat.

Golbat realized that he could not avoid this attack and used Protect to protect himself.

Ursaring Strong Slash move hit Golbat's shield and crush it in just a second. Ursaring's Slash Moves mastery was on expert rank and had ridiculous strength.

After his Protect shield got destroyed, Golbat was hit by a weakened Slash and suffered some damage.

Alex was surprised that Golbat's Protect couldn't completely block the attack. He had really underestimated this Ursaring attack power. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝓂

Alex said out loud, "Golbat, quickly use Confuse Ray again."

Golbat, who trusted Alex, immediately used Confuse Ray on Ursaring. freew ebnove l.com

Ursaring, who had just fallen to the ground, couldn't avoid Golbat's attack and was hit by Golbat's Confuse Ray.

Suddenly he saw the world moving around and was confused about what is going on. He could see two Golbat in front of him.

Scyther, who thought he had used Agility and Focus Energy for long enough, flew in the direction of Ursaring.

He flew with fast speed and used Wing Attack against the confused Ursaring.

Ursaring was distracted by Golbat and saw the Scyther ramming into him a little bit too late.

Scyther's Wing Attack hit Ursaring with all his might and fling Ursaring 5 meters away.

Ursaring got up quickly and shouted angrily. There was only a slight wound on his stomach.

Alex thought, "Well, It looks like this will take longer than I initially expected."
