Chapter 51 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 51
5 days later.
In a forest, a young man and his Pokémon are sitting by a fire. That young man was Alex, of course. After 5 intense days of battling in the forest, Alex's Pokémon have become much stronger and more skillful.

-----------------------------------------------------------
After these 5 days, a lot has happened due to which Alex's Pokémon has gotten stronger very quickly. Especially Ralts got a lot stronger this time.
Ralts has gone up by 8 levels and has learned three new attacks. In particular, the move Heal Pulse was very useful for Alex. Usually, when Alex wants to catch a Pokémon, he has to defeat it and then heal it. So it doesn't die or take permanent damage. But because Ralts can now heal other Pokémon too, he was able to save a lot of super potion and thus save a lot of money. Although Ralts's healing was much worse than a Super Potion, it was good enough so that the captured Pokémon didn't die or take permanent damage.
That saved Alex a lot of future expenses.
Scyther and Golbat have leveled up, and each learned a new attack. Although they weren't able to level up as quickly as Ralts, you have to keep in mind that they were on a much higher level than Ralts.
After level 30, your leveling up speed gets a lot slower. Alex noticed that after every 10 Levels, the leveling pace drops notably.
Alex also noticed that although Ralts had reached lv 20, it did not evolve in Kirlia. He wasn't sad or worried, but he was rather happy about it.
Now he can buy valuable psychic type items and wait for Ralts to evolve, and try to increase her potential. Of course, the probability of success is very low.
To increase the potential of a Pokémon, you have to consider a lot of things.
1: The higher the potential of a Pokémon you want to raise, the harder it is to do it successfully. For example, it is much easier to raise a Normal Pokémon's potential than a Silver Pokémon.
2: Shortly before a Pokémon evolves, the chance of raising a Pokémon potential increases significantly.
3: Valuable items from strong Pokémon can also considerably increase the chances. But the items must match the Pokémon. For example, if Psychic-type or Fairy-type items are given to Ralts, her chances of success would increase significantly.
Even if you pay attention to all of these points, the chance of raising a Pokémon's potential is not very high.
After five days, not only Alex's Pokémon had gotten stronger, but Alex was also able to catch many valuable Pokémon.
(Editor: Levels are mentioned for only those Pokémon who have above-average levels, and are worth more. So even if Caterpie is Silver Potential, its level is too low to mention in the list)
-----------------------------------------------------------
1 Bronze Ursaring (36 LV)
4 Bronze Arbok
1 Silver Caterpie
6 Bronze Caterpie
7 Bronze Pinsir
3 Bronze Kakuna,
5 Bronze Metapod,
10 Bronze Beedrill,
5 Bronze Fearow.
1 Silver Beedrill (31 LV) {Sniper}
2 Silver Beedrill (24 & 27 LV) {Swarm}
(Editor: Sniper and Swarm are Abilities of Beedrill)
(41 Bronze Pokémon & 4 Silver Pokémon)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Alex noticed how rare Silver Pokémon are. Although he has a system where he can easily see the potential of each Pokémon, he has only encountered 4 Silver Pokémon after 5 days. And of these 4 Silver Pokémon, 3 Silver Pokémon are from the Pokémon species that have a high birth rate.
In the market, such Silver Pokémon are worth much less than other Silver Pokémon. Of course, the price of a rare Silver Pokémon to a Silver Beedrill that has a high birth rate wouldn't be comparable.
Alex looked at his remaining items after three days and was happy that he still had so many items left.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now:
1 Hyper Potion
5 Pokéball
3 Antidotes
14 Excellent Bug-Type Food
14 Tauros Blood
2 Moomoo Milk
5 Super Potion
2 Energy Root
20 Energy Powder
2 Excellent Psychic-Type Food
-----------------------------------------------------------
Five days ago:
1 Hyper Potion
50 Pokéball
10 Antidotes
20 Excellent Bug-Type Food
20 Tauros blood
5 Moomoo Milk
25 Super Potion
2 Energy Root
50 Energy Powder
5 Excellent Psychic-Type Food
-----------------------------------------------------------
After Alex and his Pokémon had enough rest, he asked Ralts, "Ralts, do you remember where the entrance to this forest is?"
Alex has left various markings on trees and can also leave the forest on foot. But because Alex has Ralts, he wanted to save some time.
Ralts looked at her father and said, "Yes, papa. I know where the entrance to this forest is."
Alex got happy and said, "Good job, Ralts. Please take us there."
Scyther looked at Golbat and said, "Is it just me, or you also think that he is more polite to her than he has ever been to us."
Golbat looked at Scyther and said sternly, "I noticed that too. He doesn't treat me with enough respect."
Scyther got angry, "Can you egotistical bat stop talking about yourself for a minute?"
Golbat got angry too, "Shut up, you bug! I'm 100 times more important than you, so it's normal that I only think about myself."
Alex's happy moment was interrupted again by these two idiots. He wondered if these really two were really someone who kill Pokémon on a usual basis and not two kids pretending to be Pokémon.
He said out loud, "Fu*k. Can't you two behave like adult Pokémon for two seconds, or am I asking for too much from you?"
Golbat looked at Alex with an unhappy face and said, "The last time we argued was 3 days ago. Do you always have to exaggerate so unnecessarily?"
Scyther also said out loud, "Yeah, that stupid bat is right. You pretend we're doing this all day."
Alex thought of something and said sternly, "How old are you?"
Scyther and Golbat have an average age of 45 & 60 years if they don't die in battle. Of course, it depends on the Pokémon species. Some Pokémon species live for 100 years, and some Pokémon species only live for a few years.
Golbat looked confused at Alex and said, "Why are you asking that? I am about 1 year old."
Scyther looked at Alex and said, "I think I'm about 1 year old too."
Alex knows that Pokémon are considered adults after a few months of their birth and treated like that by other Pokémon. But even if it is like that, Golbat and Scyther are more of teenagers than adults in Alex's mind.
Alex thought with a solemn expression, "It all makes sense now!!!"
