Chapter 286 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 286
As Alex was thinking about these various things, Banette started testing his new body.
Banette who now had two arms felt a bit strange to have two extra limbs but after a little testing, he felt that it was very easy to control them and it felt very natural.
Alex's other Pokemon started going to Banette to congratulate him.
Banette who looked a lot scary now only showed a smile and started to hug all Pokemon once with his new arms.
Now that he had arms he could hug the people/pokemon that are important to him without any help.
Alex looked at Banette's face that showed a terrifying smile as he hugged all of the Pokemon and filled the Banette really had an extremely friendly personality, even though he was together with Crobat and Scizor among Alex's top 3 terrifying Pokemon.
Banette flew to Alex and gave him a hug after he hugged all the other Pokemon.
Alex showed a gentle smile as he said "It seems that you can now hug us without any help. Apart from that, you are now a good deal stronger"
Banette looked at Alex with a happy expression as if he completely agreed with Alex.
Vulpix started running in the direction of Alex too, but in contrast to all other Pokemon, she had a pout on her face instead of a smile.
"Father, why is Brother Shu .. Banette allowed to evolve but not me? It's so unfair."
Alex started to smile slightly as he said "Ohh, why do you want to evolve now."
Vulpix was puzzled by Alex's question for a moment, but after a few seconds she honestly said "Because Brother Banette has reached his final form and I don't want to lose to him."
Alex felt as if he now understood why Vulpix is a bit unhappy.
"I don't want to lose to him ?... or maybe did you mean that you don't want to lose your best friend?"
Vulpix showed a slightly shy expression when she heard Alex's words.
"Father, don't make fun of me."
Alex knew that Vulpix is a very proud Pokemon and wouldn't openly share his feelings like Banette does, but now that he saw this expression from Vulpix he understood that Vulpix was really worried.
"Don't worry, although with some Pokémon the personality changes slightly after it evolves it doesn't change dramatically. I mean look at Crobat who already had the same personality when he was a Zubat."
Crobat with his good hearing heard Alex's words and looked proudly as if Alex had praised him.
Alex showed a smile. "don't worry, your friend is still your friend."
Vulpix showed a slightly happy expression and Alex thought, 'For a Pokemon that has almost reached the elite level, she's really cute. Though Crobat also had a cute side when he was a Zubat if you forget how many trainers he'd already killed. '
"There's also a reason I'm waiting before I let you evolve."
Vulpix showed a curious expression when she heard these words.
"I talked to Professor Wälhder recently and we talked a bit about your Pokemon species. He knew a lot about your species because one of his colleagues from Alola often talked and exchanged knowledge with him."
Alex smiled when he started the next sentence. "He told me that all Alola Vulpix at level 40 learning a special move."
Although many Pokemon learn moves at similar levels, that's not always the case in this world, which was very confusing for Alex.
Alex's theory is that it had to do with the many different games that all have different Movesets levels.
Although there are often similarities, the sequence is often different from Pokemon to Pokemon.
The same was also the case with Scizor who just didn't want to learn [Sword dance] on his own and Alex had to buy a TM in the end.
There are also some Pokemon species that don't follow these rules and all Pokemon from these species learn the same level moves at the same level or only deviate a bit.
Alola-Vulpix wasn't such a species but there was a move that all Alola-Vulpix learned from level 40 and no Alola-Ninetales learned at the same level.
This move that all Alola-Vulpix species learned from level 40 is called Sheer Cold and Alex, who knows this, wanted to make sure that Vulpix could learn this move.
This knowledge is of course like almost all useful knowledge in the Pokemon world, hard to get and not cheap.
Fortunately, Alex and Professor Wälhder had a relatively good relationship and he did not have to pay anything for this knowledge, even if such a small sum did not matter to him.
Alex really wanted Vulpix to be able to learn this move and even if he had learned from Professor Wälhder that Alola-Ninetales continue to learn moves even after they evolve, it is not the best option for Alex.
Especially because Vulpix won't take long to reach level 40.
Alex explained all this knowledge to Vulpix and made sure that she left the conversation with a smile.
Then Alex's Pokemon started going back to their training and Alex started meditating again.
After meditating every day for several months, he was now hardly comparable to a normal person in matters of direct strength.
He has mainly trained two skills and neglected his other skills for them.
The first is telekinesis which is one of his first skills learned.
Although at the beginning he couldn't move an object that weighs more than 1 kg with his thoughts, that has now changed.
After several months his energy consumption, range, speed, and maximum weight improve.
Alex also had two types of weapons made to support his new ability.
The first weapon is a set of thick needles that allow you to add poison into them and, like a syringe, to immediately eject this poison from the needle head as soon as Alex applies a little pressure to the end of the needles.
Although Alex likes to call these weapons dense needles and they looked so similar, they had more similarities to syringes than needles.
The range is between 30 and 50 meters which, depending on the distance, affects energy consumption and speed.
Alex's optimal range is 30 meters where he still had very good speed after his tests and hardly used any energy to use this weapon.
The second weapon is much more direct and also the first weapon that Alex had to think of when he thought of his ability.
A Bag Full of small steel bullets that looked similar to bullets used for guns, even if they are much denser.
Alex tested these weapons and in the end, was very disappointed with the result.
He couldn't move them with such a quick move that they were fatal or even caused an initial injury. Even if he was only 30 meters away, that was impossible.
Alex still kept this weapon because the direct damage wasn't bad and was just much better than when he used his hands.
It was less lethal than the poison but Alex also wanted a non-fatal attack if he need it.
