Pokemon: Master of tactics

Chapter 260 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 260

"I thought you might do something stupid, but this time you outdid yourselves. Gardevoir, if the last Aerial Ace hit you properly, you could have lost an arm or even your head. Why did you do something stupid like continuing the fight? The same goes for you, Scizor. When that Mystical Fire hit you at the end, could your body endure this ridiculous heat with your life energy exhausted? Even if you managed to protect your head from the hit, all your organs would be damaged afterwards. Even you would have to spend the rest of your life in bed, that is, if you hadn't already ended up dead. Are you two..."

After Gardevoir and Scizor woke due to Alex healing them, they got a scolding of their life from Alex—who was boiling with anger.

Scizor or Gardevoir didn't say anything the whole time and didn't even try to talk back against Alex.

Alex interrupted his long "teaching" when he saw that neither of the two was saying anything.

He rubbed his forehead and said, "It's my fault. I should have made a rule for this from the beginning. From next time, as soon as someone has used up the life energy, they will automatically be eliminated. Thus, idiots like you don't try something crazy like what you did in this fight."

Scizor nodded and said with a serious yet curious face, "Soooo... who won?"

Alex's right eye twitched as he looked at Scizor with rising anger.

"You... You fucking bastard!!! Do you still have the nerve to ask that now? Are you a gladiator, or else why the fuck do you think this training tournament is more important than your life? You arrogant, stupid...."

Alex, who had just calmed down a bit, immediately reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Scizor endured the insult and "teaching" from Alex with a cold face. Even though he didn't say anything, Alex felt like Scizor didn't think he'd done something wrong.

Scizor didn't think that it was strange that the life of a Pokémon could end in a fight. When he fought in the wild, every fight was a fight to the death.

You win, and you have a chance to survive. You lose, and you would most likely end up dead.

Even if he's been a Pokémon of Alex for a long time, he can't quite lose that instinct. Especially fighting in close combat, he feels an unending urge to keep fighting.

Alex looked at Gardevoir, who was just looking quietly at the floor and said, "And, what's wrong with you? Do you know how dangerous your actions were? And for what? Explain yourself."

Gardevoir lifted her head and said with a sincere look, "Father, after my last defeat... I was very sad. I really wanted to win this tournament to prove that I am not the same Pokémon as in the last tournament."

Alex continued to give an angry and irritated look, "Who do you have to prove this to?"

Gardevoir looked at Alex in the eyes and said quietly, "To me. It's important to me."

Alex said nothing for a few seconds and looked at Gardevoir, who was looking so solemn.

He said as he shook his head, "Ah! Even though you're such an intelligent Pokémon, you are as dumb as Scizor."

Alex then looked at Gardevoir and said, "If you win this tournament, it doesn't mean you have grown as a Pokémon. And if you lose, it doesn't mean you are mentally the same Pokémon as you were in the last tournament. Your achievement doesn't decide who you are; your actions do."

"I think you should have known that. Have a little more confidence in yourself."

Gardevoir looked at her father with moist eyes and gave a bright smile.

Alex looked at the two of them and said, "This fight is a draw, so this tournament has two winners."

Scizor or Gardevoir felt happy at the same time but also a bit disappointed that they couldn't win in the end.

After a short pause, he said with a "gentle" smile, "But since you've done something so stupid and dangerous, you will have extra training every day for the next two weeks. Don't worry, It shouldn't be impossible for you two. I know your limit."

Although Alex said this last sentence in a very calm and even almost saint-like tone, both Gardevoir and Scizor looked fearfully. Somehow, Alex's face looked more like a devil.

They knew what it would mean if Alex said something like that with a tone like that.

To them, it sounded more like, "I will push you two to your limit and won't stop until you drop to the ground."

Alex looked at the two Pokémon looking seriously and said with a smile, "Congratulations."

Crobat started laughing out loud when he heard Alex's words and openly showed his amusement.

Blaziken wanted to laugh too but suppressed it to not annoy her big sister or big brother, who were always so kind to her.

The other Pokémon also showed a smile but did not behave like Crobat.

"Ok, enough. Tomorrow we're going to the weakest Gym Leader, so go to bed early after training. We have to wake up early the next day."

Brock is not the weakest gym leader in Kanto. But Alex still calls him that because Misty has not yet opened her Gym, and Brock is a good bit weaker compared to the other Gym Leader.

He's the only Gym Leader that Alex thinks he can beat after a few months of training.

Brock's strongest Pokémon is only at LV 53, which is only 6 levels away from his Pokémon.

Even if these 6 levels take a long time to achieve, Alex thinks that after 4 or 6 months, he can bring most of his Pokémon to level 50 and then defeat Brock's strongest team with good tactics.
