Pokemon: Master of tactics

2 days later in Celadon City

Alex slowly walked the streets with Gardevoir who is next to him and who is responsible for his safety.

He made an appointment with Erika 2 days ago for an A-rank Rainbow Badge and that's why he interrupted the training time with Maria.

Although Maria had told him this morning that she was going back to the island so that the time together would be interrupted anyway.

Alex was also a bit impressed by how much time Maria spends on Pokemon training and how often she trains in the wild. If he compares it with other Trainers, he had the feeling that only he himself uses more time than Maria in matters of Pokemon training (from the people he knows).

He had the feeling that he also had an influence on why Maria trained so much more.

Alex knew, however, that he had not only influenced Maria in this world.

Misty, who got two heartbreaking defeats from Alex, made a big transformation that might not have happened or would have happened very late if Alex hadn't existed.

Even Steven and Jasmine had a slight influence from Alex, although he's not sure how big the difference he made.

Alex had knowledge of the future, but this knowledge is extremely vague in his estimation.

He knows that this world doesn't exactly follow the anime, game, or manga plot and he doesn't know exactly what can happen in the future.

apart from this. He doesn't know what happens when, whether it happens (with some things), or where it happens.

He knows where some valuable items are in the games, but this information is not really useful if you only know the rough location.

That also happened in Mt. Moon with the fossil where Alex knows the exact location in the game, but when he was in the Mt. Moon cave he realized that this information is useless.

Mt. Moon is generally known that fossils or other valuable rocks can be found there, but nobody knows exactly where they can be found in this huge labyrinth.

Alex had no hope of finding valuable items in places of games that cannot simply be taken over 1 to 1 in this world.

After a few minutes, Alex finally arrived in front of the Celadon City gym.

Erika, who is at a very similar age to Brock, is a much stronger opponent for Alex even if she is the third weakest gym leader if you count Misty.

At this point, she is generally considered weaker than Lt. Surge from most of the trainers but alex knows this will change soon.

That alone makes her a very strong trainer with an exceptional talent for Alex.

Alex had the feeling that the gym leaders of Kanto are ridiculously strong and to make it right under the 4 strongest monsters is very impressive.

Although the 5 strongest gym leader in Kanto doesn't sound strong, alex knew that the other 4 strongest gym leaders are all monsters.

even if you don't count Giovanni, even the other 3 are ridiculously strong and even comparable to other elite four members from other regions that alex does not know from the games.

Alex who of course had investigated all gym leaders and elite four members at this point in time noticed one thing.

The gym leaders and elite four members who cannot be seen in the games almost all had relatively weak strengths for their position and many were also very old.

That's why Alex thinks that these "unknown trainers" are generally not compared to known trainers.

Although it is not always true that the unknown gym leaders and elite four members are weaker than the known ones, it is mostly the case.

But Alex didn't think that it is unusual that these trainers with normally weaker strength lose their position against a new strong challenge like Koga.

"Hello, I have an appointment today for a fight against the Gym Leader."

The staff member looked briefly at Alex and immediately said, "Ah, you must be Alex Stark, right? Can you please show me your ID card? .. can I also have an autograph? I'm a fan of your fight with Misty"

Alex gave the staff member his ID card and an autograph with a fake smile. Alex got his ID card again after 10 seconds and was taken to the main hall by another staff member.

When Alex entered the main hall, he saw a large arena that looked like a well-tended garden.

Alex also noticed that all trainees in this arena were women and that the number of trainees is three times as high as Brock's.

He also saw how Erika is surrounded by several trainees and apparently had not yet discovered him.

Alex went with the staff member in the direction of Erika and noticed how other trainees were watching.

One even showed a seductive smile which alex immediately ignored.

Erika spotted Alex and immediately gave a big smile as she walked in the direction of Alex.

"Alex, I'm so happy to see you again after such a long time."

"Thank you Erika for the nice words. Also, thank you for accepting my challenge so quickly."

"Ohh no, no. it is a great pleasure to fight against you."

Alex, who is not used to such positive conversations, felt a bit uncomfortable for a moment.
