Chapter 5 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 5
Alex thought, "What the fuk! Why do I get a system so late? I have been in this world for several months. Also, why is the system so bad? It only gives me information about Pokémon. Although knowing what potential a Pokémon has can be very useful for a trainer. But it doesn't give me any other advantages. No, the fact that I even have a system is an advantage over other trainers. I can buy or catch Pokémon who have good potential and build a powerful team."
Team Rocket member yelled, "Hey, Brat! What are you standing around here? You already got a Pokémon, so make room for the others rookies."
Alex said: "Yes, sir."
Alex thought, "Bastard! I wanted to take the Pokémon with the best potential. Now I can only work with this Pokémon. Though I have to say that my luck is pretty good to get a Silver potential Pokémon."
Potential is very important in this world.
Although potential only says how strong the Pokémon can usually get, it doesn't say how strong the Pokémon is now. Basically, it defines the usual upper limit of the level that a Pokémon can reach.
Apart from that, you can improve the potential of Pokémon with rare or legendary items.
The problem obviously is that it is difficult to get hold of these items.
Other trainers also know how significant the potential is for a Pokémon. But in this world, there is no simple way to determine the potential of a Pokémon except to see how fast it levels up.
"I hope we can become good friends, maybe even family members. I'll try my best to make you as strong as possible, Zubat." Alex thought in his mind, holding the Pokéball.
Then, under the impatient eyes of others, Alex went back to where he woke up in the starting.
"Interesting." Watching Alex walking back calmly under the gaze of everyone, Lisa standing on the podium and looked abnormally at the sight of Alex.
"Well, since you all have selected Pokémon, you can release them now and try to conquer them. You have 7 days for this, and the first 10 people to do this will get generous rewards. The faster you are, the better the rewards you will get." said Lisa with a playful expression.
When Lisa was talking, Alex, who was in the crowd, noticed the members of Team Rocket who surrounded them. The faces of these people were humorous, watching the rookies with interest.
Alex thought, "This b*tch knows that trying to conquer wild Pokémon without a plan or other Pokémon is as good as impossible. Particularly if you haven't caught them yourself. And she still stimulated the crowd with the talk about rewards."
"Rattata, use Tackle."
"Ekans, listen to me. I'm your trainers now."
"Spearow, we'll be friends from now on. Ok?"
"Koffing, use Tackle."
After hearing the words of the Instructor Lisa and the rewards, most of the Team Rocket rookies' face showed ecstasy.
These people thought that they are smart enough or charismatic enough to impress the Pokémon.
Lisa's words had poured oil in the fire.
Alex immediately ran towards the sight of the Team Rocket members who released their Pokémon and circled the rookies.
Many rookies also understood what was wrong and ran in the direction of the Team Rocket members.
These Pokémons that came out of rookie's Pokéball, they first looked around, especially in the direction of Lisa's Pokémon. They looked at Lisa's Fearow with fearful looks. The orders from the rookies were ignored by them.
For a time, the scene was pretty embarrassing. Facing this situation, the faces of those rookies who were formerly full of confidence couldn't help but show an expression of embarrassment or surprise.
These people have hardly had any education about Pokémon and know Pokémon mainly from the elite fights on the TV. Without money and a family, it is difficult to collect relevant knowledge to become a Pokémon trainer.
They thought that as long as they release the Pokémon from their Pokéball, they will follow their orders.
Later, a couple of stupid trainers yelled at their Pokémon for ignoring their orders. Of course, the Pokémon reacted aggressively and attacked their trainers.
Alex thought. "Sure enough, most people here have been raised by Alliance as followers and have lived their whole life in the fairy tale."
In general, Alliance seldom lets people in the areas under their rule know about the terrifying world of Wild Pokémon. Almost everyone promotes Pokémon as a good friend and partner of mankind. Due to that, the overwhelming majority has no experience regarding Pokémon.
Immediately, chaos broke out. An Ekans bit his trainer, a Koffing spit gas out of his mouth, and a Spearow pecked at his trainer's head fiercely.
Fortunately, this kind of chaos went by quickly. Under the instructions of the Instructor Lisa, a group of Team Rocket soldiers who were watching the play started fighting. And they were very skilled in commanding their Pokémon.
Quickly all rookies' Pokémon were defeated and put back into their Pokéballs.
