Pokemon: Master of tactics

Gardevoir felt the energy of this Psychic-type Pokemon and realized that even if all of them fought together against this monster they maybe didn't surely win.

Alex looked in the direction where Gardevoir was looking and after three seconds he suddenly saw a Hypno as it ran past a large bush.

He immediately looked at the information about this Pokemon.

------------

Alex's expression got very serious when he saw the information from this Monster, but he hardly had time to process this information properly before Gardevoir warned the whole group with a serious expression.

"watch out, he's collecting some psychic energy from his body."

Alex who heard this suddenly had a bad feeling. He started to look at the floor when he said quickly, "Quickly looked somewhere else and not..."

But when Alex warned his Pokemon, Hypno had already finished preparing his move.

Hypno was using The move [Hypnosis] and all of Alex's Pokemon except Umbreon fell asleep on the ground.

Although moves like [Hypnosis] also work against Dark-type Pokemon, they are weakened against Dark-type Pokemon so that it is much more difficult to make such a Pokemon fall asleep successfully.

Deino was only sent to sleep by this move because the difference in strength between him and Hypno was too great for his advantageous Dark-type to prevent that.

Alex, who looked at the ground, felt that the Psychic-energy in his surroundings had disappeared so that he turned his gaze back to his sleeping Pokemon and Hypno.

When he saw that only Umbreon was awake, his face became tense.

He knew exactly how the move [Hypnosis] worked in this world, but he hadn't thought that this move on the Master-Rank would be so ridiculous.

[Hypnosis] had a lot of restrictions on the normal and on the expert-rank similar to moves like [Destiny Bond] or [Disable], so it is extremely difficult to use this Move efficiently Even if it is very strong. And even on the master-rank, it has several restrictions that strongly limit this move.

even if [Hypnosis] is on the Master-rank, Hypno cannot use this move effectively against Pokémon that are of a higher level than him. At least not with such a high probability of success as against Pokemon with the same or lower level them Hypno.

In addition, the effectiveness of [Hypnosis] can be greatly reduced if the target hit is not looking at Hypno. Apart from the fact that the attack range also influences the effectiveness of the move [Hypnosis] so that this move is not impossible to dodge.

Although the effectiveness of [Hypnosis] increases when the target looked at the pendulum of Hypno, "this bonus" was not even necessary to let all of Alex's non-Dark-type Pokemon fall asleep due to the big difference in level.

The big difference in level, together with the Move Mastery of [Hypnosis], ensures that all Pokemon except Umbreon fell asleep even if they only look at Hypno.

Hypno, who was 50 yards from Alex's group, looked happy as he saw that almost all of his targets were now helpless against him.

Alex didn't have time to worry about the arrogant attitude from this Hypno when he started calling Vulpix, Banette, and Deino back to their Pokeballs.

Each of these Pokemon would not survive a real attack by Hypno even with the help of their life energy so that he wants to bring them directly to safety.

Apart from the fact that they are not useful in this fight and except to tank an attack and die in the process.

Even in this bad position, Alex wasn't ready to lose even one of his Pokémon.

Alex then looked at his other sleeping Pokemon and he estimated that it would make more sense to call the rest of his Pokemon back to their Pokeballs and let them wake up there.

Especially when he remembers what this Hypno could use. He didn't want to find out how much harm a [Dream Eater] on the Master Rank can do to his Pokemon.

Alex quickly called all his Pokemon back to their Pokeballs except Umbreon, as he continued to look at Hypno to see what it was doing.

He also uses a lot of his Psychic energy to be able to better perceive the psychic energy in the area around Hypno, so that he can react to it when this Hypno tries again to use [Hypnosis] to make himself fall asleep.

Hypno who filled that the fight is already over started running in the direction of Umbreon with a grin.

The Hypno Species is not very fast but because of its high level, it was almost as fast as Crobat.

Alex reacted quickly when he saw this. "keep your distance from Hypno. try to hold out as long as possible."

Umbreon showed no expression of fear while she watched as Hypno, who is a lot stronger than herself, ran towards her with a creepy smile.

She only showed a cold expression and the only thing that betrayed her emotions was her eyes, which had a wave of thick anger and bloodthirst in them.

Umbreon had an extreme hatred towards this Hypno, who dared to attack her family and the only reason why she is not attacking this Hypno directly is that she remembers Alex's words that such a thoughtless action could endanger the life of her family.

She was able to suppress these strong feelings for the safety of her family.

Alex, who felt the strongest threat to his life and the life of his family in his lifetime, noticed that his arms were shaking a bit and he thought to himself 'don't worry, this Hypno can't use a move on the Expert rank the can harm Umbreon. we just have to hold on... '

Although Alex knew that the situation is not as easy as he said, he managed to calm himself down a bit with this simplification of this situation.

Alex knows that he doesn't have the liberty to panic. He devoted all his concentration to completely defuse this danger while he tried to stop thinking about that danger.
