Pokemon: Master of tactics

Alex looked at Maria with a serious expression as he said, "Have you informed Daniel and Elise?"

Maria also replied with a serious expression, "Yes, the two should arrive at this hotel today."

Alex flashed a smile upon hearing this, "good, how's the progress on these two?"

Maria said in a slightly unhappy tone, "After having to babysit because you were too lazy... the improvement was still relatively reasonable and quick even though I didn't spend a lot of time helping them both. Fortunately, they are both very talented and don't need much help."

Alex didn't say anything when he heard those words. He could understand why Maria is so mad at him. He gave her the task of taking care of his two subordinates and then "disappeared" for several months.

Alex quickly tried to change the subject, "Good. btw do you have any idea how strong those two are now?"

Maria just rolled her eyes when she heard this bad attempt. After that, she said, " Unbelievable.."

Without saying another word, she pulled a sheet of paper out of her TRH device.

Alex took the piece of paper and ignored Maria's glance.

S-Rank Pidgeot at level 52

Alex looking at the list showed a satisfied expression.

The strength of his three "subordinates" really isn't bad and he has predicted them to be about that strength by now.

Elise's strength was at its worst but that was to be expected as she became a trainer at the latest. In addition, the strength of her Pokemon was still not bad and even relatively good.

Alex was a bit surprised that Daniel already had a level 52 Pokemon.

In his experience, after level 49, Deep Gold Pokemon don't have the maximum level speed anymore and need to improve their potential or they start leveling up more slowly.

Not leveling up with the fastest speed doesn't mean that you level up slowly in general, but that you level up slower and slower after each level.

That's why the potential of a Pokemon doesn't affect the level-up speed as long as man hasn't reached a certain level. However, As soon as you have reached this level, this pokemon starts to level up more and more slowly.

Alex already knew the strength of Maria's team through his system so he wasn't surprised that her team was so strong.

Especially Arbok at level 54 is not weak and can keep up with Alex's Pokemon team.

Alex looked at Maria and said with a smile, "I felt like I'd be soon the Hoenn's Team Rocket Executive ."

Maria turned away her eyes from Alex's bad joke and said, "Enough with the nonsense. How good do you think your chances really are?"

Alex gave a serious expression, "It depends if you've figured out how strong the competitors are. Otherwise, it's hard to give an accurate assessment."

Maria said in an emotionless tone, "I dunno. I didn't find anything."

Alex said in a slightly displeased tone, "What about the money I gave you? Wasn't that used to find out more?"

Maria replied with a dissatisfied tone too, "Are you stupid? Do you think that with so little money you can find out such important information? Did you forget that the background of the two is much deeper than yours? I have only useless information for this money like (that every Pokemon from Marco is at least on the Mid elite rank."

"least on the Mid elite rank? What kind of vague nonsense is this?"

after a couple of seconds, Alex said, "Well, that's not really your fault. What can you do if our influence is really bad compared to Marco and Janine."

Alex talks a bit more with Maria before he starts meditating again.

Not only did Alex's Pokemon get stronger these months, but so did Alex. His Psychic strength can now be used faster and more effectively.

He also had trained three Psychic Skills and neglected his other skills for them. (2 old & 1 new)

The first is telekinesis which he had been training all along.

After several months his energy consumption, range, speed, and maximum weight improve through telekinesis.

He also had one of his weapons upgraded to make telekinesis even more effective.

The Weapon is a set of thick needles that allow you to add poison into them and, like a syringe, to immediately eject this poison from the needle head as soon as Alex applies a little pressure to the end of the needles. Although Alex likes to call these weapons dense needles and they looked so similar, they had more similarities to syringes than needles.

Alex's favorite weapon to use with his telekinesis ability.

He bought extremely expensive material and had a new and improved set of thick needles made.

The blacksmith even gave his creation a name that Alex adopted. [Poison Syringe] An extremely deadly weapon against any human.

His second skill was [Energy Shield] and didn't change anything except that he can now block more attacks or a stronger attack.

Alex learned to use his psychic energy better and to save a bit on consumption. He could now completely block a Master rank attack from Crobat using all of his Psychic energy.

Blocking an attack from a level 55 Pokemon was extremely useful even though he could only do it once and the energy consumption was ridiculously bad.
