Chapter 43 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 43
Caterpie, who was defeated, was healed and captured by Alex.
Alex said happily, "Ralts that was perfect. You fought wonderfully. I'm so proud of you."
Scyther and Golbat complimented Ralts too.
Ralts blushed from all the compliments she got from Alex and other Pokemon.
After 15 minutes, Ralts had fought 2 other Caterpie (Bronze) and was exhausted.
Ralts defeated these 2 caterpies without being hurt. Since after the first battle she started using Double Team to deal with string shot, the battle became easier. Also, after these three battles, Ralts's level increased very quickly.
-------------------------

-----------------------------
Ralts leveled a whopping 3 LV after these three battles. This shows how quickly a Pokemon levels up at the beginning.
Alex and his Pokemon went ahead.
After 30 minutes, Golbat spotted 4 Pokemon nearby. Alex and his Pokemon went in the direction of these 4 Pokemon. They saw that there were four Pinsir. Three of them had only normal potential and were only between LV 18-LV 20. But their leader was different.
----------------------------
Pokémon: Pinsir
LV: 26
Type: Bug
Abilities: Hyper Cutter
Gender: Male
Potential: Bronze
Moves: Focus Energy, Vise Grip, Bind, Seismic Toss, Harden, Brick Break, X-Scissor, Submission
------------------------------
Alex saw that these Pinsir hadn't spotted him and his Pokemon and said quietly, "Scyther, you fight against the leader. Golbat you take over the three other Pinsir. Scyther, use Focus Energy and Agility before the fight."
Golbat was dissatisfied but said nothing.
Alex saw this and said, "Who fought the last strong Pokemon?"
Golbat looked at Alex and said, "Ok, ok. You're right. Stop looking at me like I'm stupid."
Scyther said, "Haha, the look is not unfounded, NUMBER 2!"
Golbat got mad and said, "Junior, you dare! you are courting death."
Scyther said, "That still doesn't change the fact that you lost and became the number 2, NUMBER 2!"
Before Golbat goes into his cultivator mode again Alex said coldly, "Shut up both of you. We're not at home right now."
Both noticed that Alex was pissed off and stopped bickering.
Golbat and Scyther flew towards the 4 Pinsir. Scyther having used Agility was much faster than Golbat. Scyther was flying at a tremendous speed in the direction of the leader.
The Bronze Pinsir was shocked by this fast Scyther and was hit in the head by Scyther's Wing Attack. It was a critical hit.
The Bronze Pinsir flew 5 meters after this attack. He was badly injured due to that heavy hit. Pinsir had lost around 30% to 40% HP in that one hit.
Golbat arrived after a second and attacked the 3 Pinsir with Sludge Bomb and Wing Attack.
The three Pinsir tried to surround Golbat, but were not quick enough to do so and were kait by Golbat.
Scyther and the Bronze Pinsir fought in close combat. The Bronze Pinsir had no chance in close combat.
Scyther was a monster with Focus Energy and Agility. He was ridiculously quick and could effortlessly attack Pinsir's weak spots.
After only 40 seconds, an unconscious Pinsir was on the floor. Scyther only had a few scratches on his body.
Golbat had almost ended his fight too. He had already defeated two Pinsir and had seriously injured another Pinsir.
Scyther saw that Golbat had no problems and said, "Haha! You have an easier fight and still, need a longer time. Aren't you ashamed?"
Golbat was just defeating injured Pinsir with a wing attack when he heard this.
He said coldly, "I have 3 opponents while you had only 1. Why are you so proud that I need longer? Shouldn't you be the one ashamed?"
Alex saw that both of his Pokémon were no longer taking this fight seriously and said loudly, "You both shut up. Finish this fight before you say any shit. Stop underestimating your opponents."
Alex knew they'd already won this fight, but he doesn't want his Pokemon bad habits to develop. He still remembers his defeat against Maria well. Alex never wants to lose again. He hates to lose.
Scyther and Golbat stopped talking and finished the fight. They noticed that they were becoming arrogant and corrected themselves.
After 30 seconds, the fight was over. Golbat and Scyther had taken little harm. Alex healed the Bronze Pinsir and caught it.
Alex and his Pokemon rested 30 minutes after this fight. Then they went ahead.
After 12 hours of fighting and resting, Alex caught a lot of valuable Pokemon. Alex and his Pokemon fought many Pokemon along the way. Many were defeated without being injured.
---------------------------------------------------------
7 Normal Pinsir (15LV-20LV)
2 Bronze Pinsir (23LV & 25LV)
10 Normal Kakuna (7LV-11LV)
1 Bronze Kakuna (8LV)
4 Normal Metapod (7LV-9LV)
1 Bronze Metapod (9LV)
18 Normal Beedrill (13LV-19LV)
3 Bronze Beedrill (17LV-25LV)
1 Normal Raticate (22LV)
1 Bronze Fearow (25LV)
-----------------------------------------------
Alex had caught a total of 8 Bronze Pokemon. 2 Bronze Pinsir, 1 Bronze Kakuna, 1 Bronze Metapod, 3 Bronze Beedrill, and 1 Bronze Fearow.
The main reason he didn't want to catch anymore because he doesn't want to waste super potion.
After all this fighting, Alex's Pokemon have quickly grown stronger.

AUTHOR's THOUGHT-------------------------------
In addition, I have now tagged moves that have reached expert rank with an [E] so that it is easier to see which moves have reached which rank.
Pokemon's Moves mastery can be divided into three levels: beginner, expert, and master
beginner: no marking
expert: [E]
master: [M]
