Pokemon: Master of tactics

Although this Horsea didn't have a particularly good potential as a Born Shallow Gold Pokemon compared to Alex's other Pokemon, it had many other advantages that made Alex want to add this Horsea to his group.

Kingdra, the species to which this Horsea can evolve, is not only extremely strong but hardly had any weak spots and is generally an all-rounder without significant weakness

Above all, this Pokemon species is less restricted on land than many other Water-Type Pokemon due to its tail-like lower body, which allows it to move relatively well on the surface even if it does not have the same agility or speed as it has at the water.

Kingdra like many different Water Type Pokemon can also survive on land for several hours or even days without water and with the help of a Dive Ball or a Net Ball, this Pokemon will always have a place to recharge its water supply.

Alex was particularly impressed with Horsea's ability [Sniper] and his Innate Talent moves.

[Sniper] + Focus Energy on the Master Rank is just a thought that Alex can't suppress when he saw this Horsea. Especially if a crit landed successfully with that move [Outrage] on the Master rank, the damage would be absurdly powerful.

The only thing that is not optimal on this Horsea, according to Alex is his Potential that is not particularly good compared to his other Pokemon.

Bastiodon, Blaziken, and Umbreon all have a Born Shallow Gold Potential and therefore have the same Potential talent as Horsea has.

This is still a very good Potential and Alex was happy with it even if he already had two Pokemon with a Born Gold potential and even had a Pokemon with a Born Deep Gold Potential. It's just one thing he noticed that this Pokemon was missing to get his perfect rating from him.

Still, Alex was satisfied with the potential. He doesn't expect to find a Born Gold Water-type Pokemon, and he didn't think he'd be as lucky again to find a Born Deep-Gold Potential.

Especially because Alex believes that Born Deep Gold are ridiculously rare and even rarer than half-blood legendary Pokemon. He was very sure of that.

Alex knew that even very strong future champions only have one Pokemon with an Born Deep Gold Potential.

Steven's Metagross was the only Born Deep-Gold Pokemon that Steven owned and his absolute trump card.

Alex knew that Steven would be one of the strongest Trainers in the World in the future and that the Metagross would remain his strongest Pokemon later on. He was the optimal example for Alex to determine the rarity of Born Deep Gold Pokemon.

That's why Alex believed that Born Deep Gold Pokemon are much rarer than half-blood Legendary Pokemon. Apart from the fact that they are better in Alex's opinion.

Half-blood Legendary Pokemon are born with a Shallow Diamond Potential, but these Pokemon cannot improve their potential any further, which makes it impossible for these Pokemon to achieve a Diamond Potential talent. Although even with this big flaw, Alex would still catch a half-blood legendary Pokemon as a trainer if he had the chance.

He stopped thinking about the Potential of this Horsea and started looking with a bright expression at the Horsea that was barely visible in this large river.

Vulpix, like the rest of Alex's Pokemon, worried when they saw Alex go unresponsive for a few seconds after he woke up.

"Father, why are you showing such a strange expression? Are you OK ?."

Alex looked at Vulpix and his other Pokemon, all of which had a worried expression, and said with a soft expression, "Yes, I'm fine. ...Thanks to all of you."

Vulpix showed a happy expression and said aloud, "That's all thanks to big sister Umbreon. She was the one who saved us all"

The other Pokemon began to nod in agreement when Vulpix said these words. Even Crobat and Scizor gave the whole tribute to Umbreon without saying a word.

Umbreon, who was doused with warm looks and words of praise, showed a shy expression. At the same time, she said that she hadn't done much.

Alex, who knew what a wild expression Umbreon showed to other Pokemon or unknown people, showed a slight smile when he saw the shy expression of Umbreon.

When Alex enjoyed this warm atmosphere he suddenly felt that he had almost forgotten something.

He looked at his Pokemon and said with a smile, "Which of you thinks that you can swim well?"

No Pokemon spoke for 3 seconds what, before suddenly Ditto created a hand with his body and said at the same moment, "I can transform myself into one of these Water-Type Pokemon in this River, and then I should be able to swim very well."

Alex looked at Ditto and said with a smile, "That would be great Ditto. I'm really glad that our group has you."

Ditto's face hardly changed when he heard these words, but Gardevoir felt that Ditto felt very happy and embarrassed at this moment.

Gardevoir started to laugh slightly when she looked at Ditto's emotionless expression.

Alex doesn't know why Gardevoir laughed and looked at Ditto but he had a suspicion.

He looked at Ditto and said "Do you see this Horsea? ... bring it over please"

Ditto nodded and turned into Golduck and began to enter this large River. Fortunately, many Pokemon were visible in Ditto's sight so he had a wide variety of Water Type Pokemon to transform into.

Crobat watched as Ditto began to swim in the direction of this Horsea and said to Alex, "Why are you suddenly so much softer? Did you lose your manhood from the injury? "

Alex, who was in a very good mood, heard the words of Crobat and just looked unemotional in the direction of Crobat when he said, "Crobat what's going on?"

Crobat said nothing for a few seconds.

Alex looked at Crobat and said, "if you blame yourself for this ..... then all I can say is that it has nothing to do with you."

Crobat looked at Alex with an angry expression and said, "What are you talking about!! I couldn't do anything about it! How can it not be my fault?"

Scizor, who was listening to this conversation, said with an annoyed expression, "Can you stop being so arrogant? We have all failed in this situation, not just you."

The rest of the Pokemon nodded in agreement when Scizor said those words. Even Umbreon showed an expression that she had made a lot of mistakes.

Alex saw his family pretending to be at fault and his expression got a bit angry.

"Are you the Leader or me? None of you made a mistake and even thinking about this nonsense makes me angry. I recognized the danger too late and drew us into this danger. My Arrogant Attitude was to blame and nothing else! "

Umbreon who heard that went in front of Alex and explained to him what she had done wrong according to her opinion and that it was not Alex's fault.

Alex showed an indifferent expression and ended the topic with the words "As the leader, I am responsible for assessing the dangers of incidents."
