Pokemon: Master of tactics

Alex quickly went to Scizor and started healing him with a Super Potion.

Lt. Surge also went before his Pokemon with a serious expression and started to heal it with a Super Potion.

After Alex stopped Scizor's bleeding and most of the injuries began to heal, he put Scizor back to his Pokeball.

He looked in the direction of Lt. Surge when he said "The difference to Erika is really big."

Lt. Surge heard Alex's words and said with a small smile "Even if you praise me, I can't agree with you."

He looked at Alex seriously as he said "I saw your fight with the little girl and I think you have no idea of ​​the strength of the little girl."

"I've been training this Electrode for 5 years and that's why it's so much stronger than the Pokemon that the little girl has for an A-rank badge, but that doesn't mean that she is weak"

Alex understood what Lt. Surge said. When it comes to A-rank badges, Erika is much weaker than Lt. Surge because she didn't have that much time to train her Pokemon for this level group. But if she uses her strongest Pokemon, Erika shouldn't be much weaker than Lt. Surge.

Lt.Surge's Pokemon for this level group (40-49) had even more time in terms of training time than his Pokemon.

Alex said in a joking tone "I was expecting your A-rank badge to be harder to get than Erika's badge but, I didn't think it was such a ridiculous increase in difficulty."

Lt. Surge looked at Alex and said in a joking tone, "Are you going to give up, kid?"

Alex smiled as he looked coldly at Lt.Surge. "No. I hope you don't disappoint me, old man."

Lt. Surge who saw Alex's gaze showed a big smile and started to laugh a little.

"You make me a little excited. It's been a long time since I got such a good fight at this level."

When the camera recorded this exchange between Alex and Lt. Surge, the audience number started getting bigger and bigger.

Such a thrilling and impressive fight has not been seen in Gym Leaders fight for a long time so that many spectators tuned in when they heard that this fight was about to take place. the respective TV station even gets commentators for this fight in order to increase the number.

Alex and Lt. Surge got ready to call their next Pokemon as they both waited for the referee's signal.

Umbreon and Magneton appeared in the arena at the same time.

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

'Hmm, a level 45 and a level 47 Pokemon. Although his last Pokemon doesn't have to be level 49 ... that is very unlikely. ' thought Alex.

Alex didn't believe the Lt. Surge is a trainer who does not use all his strength against a strong Opponent.

"3,2,1, Go"

Lt. Surge said "[M1]" quickly

Umbreon started to prepare her move first and Magneton started to prepare his move shortly thereafter.

Alex didn't use any direct commands at the beginning and that's why his Pokemon started preparing his move a little earlier. Although it limited his flexibility a lot, Alex felt that in most cases it was worth it.

Although Umbreon started preparing her move earlier, Magneton finished first.

Magneton used [Flash Cannon] and hit Umbreon with it who was only 30 meters away.

Umbreon's body was hit and she lost almost 20% of her Hp from that 1 hit.

Alex looked serious when he saw the injury on Umbreon. 'Magneton's attack power cannot be underestimated. Especially if it is using a Master-rank move. '

Even with the two-level advantage of Umbreon and the very good Sp. Def value of Umbreon, the damage was not small.

Lt. Surge said "Again" when he saw the damage.

Umbreon ignores the pain and uses [Work Up]. Then she immediately started preparing a new move.

She strictly adheres to Alex's plan that she was given before the fight.

When Magneton didn't move, Umbreon started running in his direction as she prepared her Move.

Although Magneton is usually a bit faster than the Umbreon, Umbreon is two levels higher which makes the Umbreon a bit faster than Magneton in this case.

Magneton finished first and used [Flash Cannon] again, which this time did even more damage than the last time.

Alex looked serious when he saw Umbreon lose almost 25% of his Hp this time.

'Does [Flash Cannon's] chance of lowering Umbreon's Spe Def increase when it's on the master rank or am I just unlucky?'

Although the increase in damage was not very large, it is a dangerous game if you allow the Magneton to lower the Spe Def of Umbreon even more.

Alex stays calm when he said, "old man, you're unlucky that I didn't expect a long fight."

"Umbreon use [Double Kick]"

Lt. Surge saw the Umbreon was 8 meters from Magneton and he quickly said "Magneton use [Protect]."

Alex of the words of Lt. Surge heard showed a smile.

He waited until Umbreon got the perfect distance from Magneton so the Lt. Surge can give his order in time but doesn't have enough time to think about it.

Umbreon can do the [Double Kick] move, but that move is not on the Expert rank.

She saw Magneton set up a protective shield and she started using [Work Up] after seeing Magneton waste this important move.

Lt.Surge saw how he wasted protect but he showed a calm expression.

"Umbreon use [Payback]"

"M1 and keep your distance from Umbreon"

Lt.Surge heard Alex want to use a dangerous move again but this time he wasn't ready to change his strategy because of it.

If he tells Magneton not to use [Flash Cannon] immediately when it's done to counter [Payback] and in the end waste time because Umbreon uses another move, we might fall for another trick.

If Umbreon ended up using another move first and then immediately using [Protect] to block Magneton's attack, the fight would turn into an extremely disadvantageous situation. That's why Lt.Surge ignores Alex's words and tries to be on the safe side.

Magneton tried to run away from Umbreon but wasn't faster and couldn't shake Umbreon off.

Although Magneton couldn't build up a distance he finished first and he used [Flash Cannon] again to avoid Umbreon.

Umbreon's body had more large wounds and was bleeding from several places.

But despite the pain, Umbreon looked indifferent.

Lt. Surge said with a serious expression "[M2]"

When Magneton started preparing his new move, Umbreon finished her move [payback].

Umbreon's paws were enveloped in dark energy and when Magneton was hit by that energy, Magneton was struck to the ground by the pure Force.

Magneton's body had a very large dent and was in terrible condition.

a critical hit.

Alex, who noticed that Magneton was almost defeated, quickly said "Umbreon use [Quick Attack]"

Umbreon responded before Magneton or Lt.Surge had a chance to respond and hit Magneton with [Quick Attack].

Magneton with less than 5% Hp fell to the ground unconscious.
