Pokemon: Master of tactics

Maria looked at Alex with a surprised expression. "Huh? Where did you get this info from?"

Alex smiled as he continued his prepared story. "I have a connection who had many of these Pokemon and I trust him that he won't cheat me regarding the Potential."

Maria heard Alex say this and suddenly felt that Alex trusted her.

She knew that such a contact is extremely valuable and that it can be very dangerous for Alex if people find out about it. Especially because Alex's strength is not enough to deter some greedy people from making more than 100 million Pokedollars.

Team Rocket is a good shield for Alex but with such a huge amount of money, it can quickly happen that you become the target of a few greedy people.

Maria felt very happy but showed a sarcastic expression when she said "Wow you really have other people you trust than me?"

Alex rolled his eyes. "Hey don't pretend I have no friends."

This time it was Maria's turn to roll her eyes when she said "You mean Steven? Wow a whole friend and me. I am Really impressed."

And before Alex could say anything, Maria said with a smile "And don't come to me with not humane friends "

Alex who wanted to say exactly that showed an expression of surprise as Maria could guess his answer so easily.

After a pause, he looked at Maria and said "Why can't I say it?"

Maria showed a smile of a winner when she said "I thought you saw them as your family? Or was that a lie?"

Then She looked playful at Alex, and toward his Pokemon who are looking at them both.

It seems as if the conversation unfolds the interest of almost all Pokemon in this room as they look in the direction of the couple.

Alex noticed the looks and realized that Maria had pushed him into a trap.

But after a second he said with a smile "I see my Pokemon as my family but also as friends. Both things don't have to be mutually exclusive."

Maria looked at Alex and just said quietly "bad loser."

"What are you talking about. I haven't lost."

Maria looked at Alex and said, "Why do you suddenly become such a bad loser? Even after your first defeat to me, you were a lot cuter."

Alex felt a bit uncomfortable when he heard the word "cute" to describe him.

"Are you mad at me?"

Maria started to smile slightly as she looked at Alex.

"No, I can't stand being mad at you for a long time. ...You're just too cute."

Alex tried not to show on his face how much he bothered being called cute when he said

"Why do I hear the word Cute more often than the word Handsome when you describe me. Can't you even be nice to your Boyfriend?"

Maria's smile grew bigger when she noticed how annoyed Alex was.

"Ohh you have more cute parts than you think."

Alex's mood got a bit better as the situation became more and more ridiculous. he even slightly laughed at Maria's joke.

He looked at Maria with an intense look when he said "I can.. Tonight show you who of us will act cute."

Maria blushed a bit when she understood the hint, but she quickly hid it.

She looked at Alex and said seriously, "Not tonight. You promised me the other thing."

Alex started to laugh when he realized how much Maria was looking forward to tonight.

Maria and Alex trained together for a few more hours.

Before Alex went alone to his room to select a mission for Elise and Daniel.

He didn't want to delay any longer and he didn't want to give the same mission to both of them when he had given Maria.

Elise or Daniel are not the people Alex really trusted, so he was not willing to give them the same mission as Maria.

Alex can't allow the information that he had a contact person who has many A-rank Pokemon that have an extremely high probability of reaching S-rank after an evolution. this is comparable to a gold mine.

Even if this information is a lie, it is a dangerous thing if this information reaches the wrong person.

Alex only trusted Steven, Maria, and his Pokemon.

He looked again at the info from Maria and Daniel Pokemon.

---------

Daniel:

A-Rank Beedrill at level 41

S-Rank Butterfree at level 43

S-Rank Beedrill at level 46

A-Rank Scyther at level 35

Elise:

S-Rank Fearow at level 36

A-Rank Gyarados at level 34

A-Rank Xatu at level 27

-----------

Alex remembers Daniel's Pokemon Level when he made him his subordinate and realized one thing.

'Why after almost 3 months is Daniel's Butterfree not on a similar level as Beedril. What is Daniel doing? Both were on a similar level and now the gap is so big. '

Butterfree was only one level lower than Daniel's S-rank Beedrill but after almost three months that changed.

Alex knew that it couldn't be because of the potential.

A Shallow Gold Pokemon only starts at level 45 and slows down to a level so there should be no reason for it to happen.

What most confused Alex was why the A-rank Beedrill levels faster than Butterfree after almost three months.

Alex showed a serious expression when he thought, 'I hope it's another reason.'

He had a suspicion but he hoped that Daniel had another reason why Butterfree levels so slowly.
