Pokemon: Master of tactics

Alex looked at the several insults he had received from Steven after his last comment with an amused smile.

He knew that the main reason that Steven didn't have a girlfriend was, quoting him, "Almost all of the girls who want me as a boyfriend don't want that because of my character. Though I don't expect my partner to love me only for my character since I am aware of the fact that I'm not that much of a noble person. But I still don't want to be with someone who just wants to date me because of my money and looks."

Alex understands Steven's words very well, and he has to admit that he agrees with him.

The character of your partner is very important for a healthy relationship. But other things are also important such as competence, appearance, money, power, to develop an interest in the opposite party.

But Alex personally thinks that there was one other thing that is more important.

Chemistry (when you first see a person). He himself has felt it only once in his 2 lives.

Alex wasn't sure if it was just for looks, but he didn't think he was such a superficial person.

In his life, he had met and seen many 10/10 women, but he never got that kind of feeling from them. There never was that spark that made him pursue the relationship.

He felt that it had a lot to do with the presence, charisma, facial expressions and gestures that you see in the first second, together with the appearance of the person.

Gardevoir, who saw her father lost in his thoughts, again, showed a slight smile as she nudged him, "Father, don't you have to call someone?"

She knew that her father is a very good planner, but that is also why he is often absorbed so much in his thoughts during the day that he ignores the whole world around him.

Gardevoir is already very used to waking up Alex in important situations like almost every other Pokémon.

Though Gardevoir and the other Pokémon only pay attention when necessary. Nobody wants to bother Alex when he is thinking about important things without a real reason.

Alex stopped thinking about these unnecessary things and said, "Ah, yes, you are right. ... Wait. How do you know that?"

Gardevoir said with a very relaxed expression, "Oh, that. When I wanted to take a short break from my training, I saw you looking thoughtlessly at your device. When I came next to you, you were still in your thoughts, and I happened to see a message that looked important, so I thought it would be best to wake you up."

He knows that Gardevoir can not read the minds of others without them noticing.

Above all, even the strongest Psychic-type Pokémon cannot read the minds of even an ordinary person while he is awake.

And even with unconscious people, the strongest Psychic-type Pokémon can only see a person's memory and not change or manipulate it.

Gardevoir can only talk telepathically with Alex and the other Pokémon because they "allow" Gardevoir to mentally talk to them.

Alex doesn't know if a Full-Blood Legendary Psychic-type Pokémon have to adhere to this restriction. But he had the feeling that the gods of this world were not so restrictive in their power.

A force that has never been captured or even defeated by a trainer cannot be compared to normal Pokémon.

Alex is not even sure whether it is possible to kill a Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon or not. He had read the sole documented fight between a Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon and several Champion-level trainers. This took place over 50 years ago, and the outcome was relatively inexplicit.

It is described in the book that several Champion-level trainers with more than 15 Champion-level Pokémon attacked a "weak" Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon.

The force of 15 Champion-level Pokémon is ridiculous in this world and even more so for 50 years ago.

That is probably the strongest force a region had gathered in High-Elite level, and it was by no means a joke.

There were more than 100 Elite-level Pokémon in this fight. But it was described in the book how no attack by an Elite-level Pokémon had any effect on the Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon. Thus, they did not affect the fight at all. It took the Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon a single AOE attack to wipe out all the Elite-level Pokémon.

You can say that was the most expensive meat shield in the history of Pokémon world.

In comparison, the 15 Champion-level Pokémon were much more useful not only because they could do damage but because it looked like they were winning against this god.

In the book, it was described that the Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon was full of injuries and at a disadvantage in the battle.

After killing 4 Champion-level Pokémon and severely wounding several others, it showed signs of being on the verge of defeat.

But after the rest of the Champion-level Pokémon made a final attack, and the Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon fell to the ground, something unusual happened.

Half of the body of the Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon was destroyed as all the people present there thought it was dead. But after a few minutes, they noticed that the body of the Legendary Pokémon was slowly beginning to rebuild.

The trainers immediately understood the danger and immediately let their Pokémon attack the Legendary Pokémon. But the damage taken by Legendary Pokémon was more like it was taking a hit as a living and awake Pokémon rather than unconscious or dead Pokémon.

In addition, even though those 11 Pokémon dealt as much damage as possible, it was nowhere enough to stop the regeneration.

Unfortunately, this was the end of the book, and it was not clear what happened after that.

Alex was sure of one thing after reading that. The Legendary Pokémon are not easy to kill, and there is not even a known method to kill them with certainty.

Alex suspects that in this regeneration phase of the Legendary Pokémon, you can probably kill the Legendary Pokémon with enough attack power. But he wasn't quite sure, and he could just as well be wrong. He had no information about it to confirm after all.

Apart from that, even the 11 Champion Pokémon that attacked simultaneously did not have enough attack power. So even if it is possible to kill the legendary Pokémon, the attack power is not easy to meet.

Not to mention, the details are too vague. How can one measure the attack power of these 11 Champion-level Pokémon with such imprecise info?

The difference between 11 LV 70 Pokémon and 11 LV 60 Pokémon is a massive difference in strength.

This book also glossed over a few important details that put many questions in Alex's mind.

Why did such a large force attack a Full-Blood Legend Pokémon?

Why didn't the Full Blood Legend Pokémon—obviously faster than the other Pokémon—run away? If it was somehow restricted, how was that achieved?

Which Full-Blood Legend Pokémon was fought against and by which organization or government? (Alex had the feeling that such a large group of Champion-level trainers had gathered for a special purpose)

These critical details and much more were not revealed, so it was impossible to determine what exactly happened.

Gradevoir looked at her father in surprise and didn't understand why her father was lost in his thoughts again just after she had woken him up.

Crobat, who had seen that during training, flew in front of Gardevoir and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have the feeling that it is getting worse?"

Gardevoir knew her brother was making fun of her father, but she gave a slightly worried answer, "I hope not."
