Pokemon: Master of tactics

Chapter 113 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 113

Kingler was very annoyed when he saw that Gyarados ran away.

Then he looked in Alex's direction and suddenly started running at a relatively fast pace towards him. ??

Alex saw Kingler running aggressively in his direction and shouted, "Hey Kingler, we are not your enemies."

Kingler ignored Alex's declaration and ran in his direction without saying anything.

Alex showed a cold expression as he looked at this Kingler. Although his Pokémon are weaker, they are not so weak that they have to cower against him.

Although Alex doesn't like fights where he doesn't have a 100% win-rate, he's not a person who can be easily provoked.

"Kirlia, Will-O-Wisp."

"Scizor, Focus Energy."

"Ditto, transform into Crobat and use Confuse Ray."

"Crobat, Toxic."

"Shieldon, Metal Sound."

Alex, who knows that a Pokémon can be poisoned and burned simultaneously, of course, uses both of these moves.

Although these moves would have quite a weak effect due to the vast level gap between them and Kingler, they can still do a bit of damage over time.

After a few seconds, Alex's Pokémon used all of their moves against the Kingler, who was running like a tank towards them.

Alex realized the Metal Sound was totally useless even though it hit Kingler. He understood that the likely difference in strength between Shieldon and Kingler was too large for the move to work on him.

Confuse Ray and Will-O-Wisp seemed to have worked on him, but the effect was much weaker than ordinary. Only Toxic seemed to have been a little effective.

Kingler suddenly stopped running and started preparing a move.

Alex, who saw this, knew that there was no time to waste.

"Kirlia and Shieldon, use Protect together."

Just when he said that Kingler used Bubble Beam, which quickly flew towards Alex's group.

Kirlia and Shieldon used Protect at the same time to block the move. Although both shields were almost destroyed by this 1 move, together, they managed to stop this attack.

Alex was slightly shocked that a non-Expert move could almost destroy the shield of two Protects. But it's not surprising since it is a Low-Elite Pokémon.

He could understand the arrogance of these Kingler a little better now.

Seeing that his attack was blocked, Kingler used Bubble Beam again.

Alex, who saw this, looked annoyed and said, "Kirlia, use Thunderbolt. Ditto and Crobat use Fly. Shieldon, use Iron Defense."

After saying that, he ran out of reach of Kingler with Torchic. Although he was more than 25 meters away, he wanted to be at least 40 meters away to feel a little safe. With this distance, it would be easier for Kirlia to rescue him if necessary.

Torchic looked at Alex to show that she can fight too.

Alex looked at Torchic and said with a stern voice, "No. It's very dangerous for you to go into a fight like this."

Torchic showed a sad expression with tears in her eyes.

Alex's face slightly twitched when he saw her sobbing. He took Torchic in his hand to prevent her from running away without telling and continued to watch the fight. He couldn't waste time explaining to Torchic exactly why she can't participate in this fight.

Although she could easily break out of Alex's hand, she can't do it without getting Alex's attention, which was important for Alex to watching the fight without to fear the Torchic runs away if he don't pay attention to her.

Kingler used the Bubble Beam to hit Shieldon, who couldn't evade.

Shieldon, who was thrown back several meters from the hit, laid unconscious on the floor with severe wounds.

"This Kingler is really smart. Attacking the weaker Pokémon first to put more pressure on others."

Alex took Shildon's Pokéball and quickly called Shildon back before he gets hit again. Unconscious Pokémon can be critically injured and even killed, so Alex naturally called Shildon back immediately.

Although Kingler was hit by Thunderbolt and Fly twice after using this move, the damage Kingler took appeared to be very small.

Alex saw how little harm Kingler was taking. "Fortunately, that wasn't my main plan."

He saw that Scizor had already used Focus Energy to the maximum and was ready for his next command.

"Kirlia, use Helping Hand on Scizor."

"Ditto transform into Scizor after Kirlia uses Helping Hand on him."

"Crobat, use Protect to stop Kingler's attack."

Kingler, who was only a few yards away from Crobat, used Crabhammer after jumping high in the air.

Crobat wanted to avoid the attack but quickly realized that he wouldn't be able to do it in time and used Protect instantly.

Kingler swung his claws like a baseball bat against Crobat's shield. In a second, the Protect shield was broken, and Crobat was thrown to the ground.

Although the shield absorbed most of the damage, Crobat had suffered a great deal of damage.

While Crobat was gaining time for others, Kirlia used Helping Hand on Scizor to reinforce Scizor's next move. Then Ditto used Transform to transform into Scizor. And because Ditto's Transform is on the Expert rank, the reinforcement of Scizor was also copied.

"Kirlia, Thunderbolt."

"Crobat, Shadow Ball."

"Scizor, Ditto, Giga Impact."

Kingler, who saw two Scizors running at him with high speed, also used Giga Impact. He was hit again by Crobat and Kirlia before he traded moves with Ditto and Scizor.

Scizor, Ditto, and Kingler collided hard against each other. Although Kingler's strength was higher, he was hit in the head, which also caused critical damage.

Scizor and Ditto were badly injured and had only about 30-40% HP left.

Kingler, on the other hand, looked better. Alex would estimate that he had around 50% HP left.

When Alex wanted to prepare for his next move, he saw a group of Kingler and Krabby running in their direction from a distance.

"Come to me quickly."

Alex's Pokémon immediately stopped fighting and quickly ran towards Alex.

Kingler did not follow Alex's Pokémon but instead looked towards Kingler and Krabby's group.

Alex said via Telepathy to Kirlia that she should get ready to teleport them all away on his signal. Then he looked with curiosity what this group wanted to do.

Kingler and the Female Kingler were talking (more like bickering) to each other. But Kirlia and Alex were too far away to understand. But from the expressions of the two, Alex could sense that they were arguing about something.

He could well imagine what these two Kingler were arguing about.

After 3 minutes of quiet waiting, the female Kingler looked in Alex's direction as she made a 'go' motion with her claws.

Alex briefly showed an annoyed expression and thought about attacking this group. But the opportunity of exchanging items with this group again made him suppress this feeling. Though the main reason was that they weren't in a good position to fight. His Pokémon were not in the best situation to fight, and fighting this Low-Elite Kingler along with this group was too much.

"Come on, let's get out of this safe green area," said Alex with a sarcastic tone.

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

EN: in the tournament fights, I try to change " Crobat, use Fly" to like "Crobat, let's finish it with Fly" or "Crobat, use Fly again" to make it more interesting. But here in such fights, where you don't wanna waste time, I am only using Pokémon's name and the move's name unless necessary. What do you think?
