Pokemon: Master of tactics

Victreebel and Crobat ended their fight and in the end, Crobat was just barely able to secure victory. In the end, Victreebel couldn't use her Expert-rank or Master-rank move effectively, which even the level advantage couldn't compensate for.

Together with Alex who uses his popular hit and run tactics against Victreebel who mostly uses Normal-rank effective moves. Even with Sunny day the Victreebel allowed to move faster she couldn't use the speed she had gained.

To Alex's surprise, this fight wasn't completely free despite the huge advantage. Victreebel quickly changed her strategy and used a Swords Dance + Facade while tanking Crobat's attacks surprisingly well.

He didn't think the Crobat's Fly move would do so little damage despite that it was a stab bonus and that it was on the Expert-rank but, he must admit that he underestimated the big difference between a level 47 and a level 51 Pokemon.

This level 51 Victreebel was trained by a trainer and was, according to Alex's opinion, hardly comparable to the wild Pokemon with the same level, that Alex met on the mountain chain.

In the end, Crobat won but not without losing almost 50% of his HP, even though he used a hit and run tactic.

Alex and Erika talk a little longer and even exchange contacts.

Everything went so well that Alex felt that his experience of Brock's gym and Erika's gym couldn't be more different.

Having a Gym Leader as a friend is not particularly important for Alex, but it is definitely good to have, even if his friendship with Erika is not very deep.

When Alex left the Gym he looked at his TRH device and saw how he had received a message from Maria.

<Stop flirting with the bitch and call me you disgraceful bastard>

'Wow, someone is in a good mood.' thought Alex with a smile.

Although the message from Maria called him a "disgraceful bastard", Alex knew that Maria wasn't really angry and didn't take it seriously.

He understood well that Maria uses that as a half-joke and plainly because she likes the word bastard. even if Alex didn't know exactly why.

Alex himself is a person who often uses sarcasm or exaggeration with Maria so that he understands when what is serious and when not.

He called Maria and she took his call almost immediately.

"What do you want woman?"

"... Alex how can you be so shameless?"

"What are you talking about. You are a woman as far as I know"

"..... and you become one if you continue to annoy me."

"Ha jokes on you that is a bigger problem for you than for me ... wait, that sounds weird even if that is only a joke."

*take a deep breath* "You are lucky that you are so good at sex or ..."

"Stop Maria, you make me all red. But..."

Maria took a deep breath and and got ready for Alex's bad joke. "...But what?"

"Unfortunately I didn't record that so can you please say it again with a believable voice."

"Why do you want something like that anyhow?"

"Maria, how did you know that I didn't mean that as a joke?"

"I already know you well enough to know when you mean something. Although I don't know why you want to keep something like that."

"Ohh, I wanted to send it to Steven and then make fun of him."

"...I love it when you act like a bastard."

Alex rolled his eyes and said silently, "Yeah but apparently not when it affects you."

Maria who heard that said with an ice-cold tone "Ahh did you say, something bastard?"

Alex wasn't scared. "what if I?"

Maria's tone got colder when she said "Ohh then someone doesn't want to know what a great thing their girlfriend bought for them or am I wrong?"

"For Pokemon?"

"Yup and one thing that would be very, very useful to you."

Alex didn't say anything and thought for a second.

"My beautiful darling, I think your boyfriend will appreciate your gift so..."

Maria interrupted Alex directly in a cold tone, "You know what I want to hear."

"I do that thing that you like so much... tonight"

"For 1 week."

"...5 days."

"Ok, because I'm such a good girlfriend, I'm happy with 8 days."

Alex found it both funny and irritating as he thought 'what a bitch'

"...Maria"

"Yes? Do you have a problem?"

"..."

Alex didn't really have a problem doing "that thing" for 8 days but he doesn't want to give in so easily.

If she knows it's not a big deal for Alex, he can't play it to advantage like now.

Alex smiled but said in a serious voice "Ok"

"Good boy"

Alex's good mood immediately got worse when he heard this. "Maria.... Did Lisa tell you how I would react to these words?"

"Smart boy"

"....."

"Say that again and our deal is over."

Maria heard Alex's serious tone suppress it further to tease Alex. It wasn't worth it.

"... Alex, you look particularly good today."

Alex looked at his TRH device that only showed the number from Maria and thought wordlessly 'You don't even try anymore, do you? '

"I hope this is a good gift."

"come to our training room and you will see. I am waiting for you."

Alex and Maria both hung up and Alex walked over to Team Rocket base at Pewter City with a smile.

He was simply teleported to Pewter City with Gardevoir and then he changed his face with the help of Ditto.

...

Alex entered with Crobat who followed him because he and Maria's private area and saw how Maria was already training her Pokemon in the training area.

Maria looked at Alex and walked over to him with a smile.

She waits until Alex has taken off his Ditto mask and gives him a long kiss that Alex answers immediately.

When Alex's hands began to move more and more down, Maria breaks the kiss with a provocative expression.

Without waiting for the words, she quickly went to a safe place from the training room and took the Pokemon incubate that was there with a smile.

In this Pokemon incubate was a Pokemon Egg and judging by the color of a Dragon pokemon.

Although you can't always tell the type of Pokemon Egg by color, that's often the case.

Alex saw this and said confusedly "why are you giving me an egg"
