BXBX NOVEL Chapter 25 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 25
Alex and Zubat went on but were careful not to go deep into Viridian Forest. As soon as you meet an elite Pokemon there is a chance to die and the deeper you go into Viridian Forest, the more likely you will meet an elite Pokemon. That\'s why Alex thought it was stupid to go deeper into Viridian Forest with his strength.
Alex thought "I should stay in this area, there are a lot of Beedrill in this area. I can also level my Zubat well here. Although it\'s a bit dangerous, the risk is small."
Zubat spotted two Pokemon fightings each other. It was two Scyther who had a dual. Alex looked at the info from both of them and one was normal. But the other Scyther impressed Alex very much.
--------------------------
Pokémon: Scyther
LV: 17
Attributes: Bug Flying
Abilities: Technician
Gender: Male
Potential: Silver
Moves: Leer, Quick Attack, Focus Energy, Double Team, Feint,
Wing Attack, (innate talent) Roost
-------------------------
Alex saw this Scyther and thought "I have to catch this Scyther. It\'s way too strong not to catch, it has Technician, Silver Potential, and Innate talent move Roost. The problem is that Scyther is very likely too strong for Zubat. It\'s faster, stronger and it has better recovery abilities. Dust can\'t be used either because Scyther can sweep away dust at any time. FUCK, I find a treasure that I can\'t take. "
While Alex was thinking, the dual comes to an end.
The Silver Scyther defeated the normal Scyther and was only slightly injured.
Scyther is a Pokemon that values honor and strength. when a trainer wants to catch a scyther, the easiest way to catch it is to challenge it to a dual and defeat it. Scyther respects strength very much.
Alex saw this Scyther and knew that he had no chance with Zubat as long as Zubat did not evolve. But he doesn\'t want to give up this chance. He can later fight the Scyther but it is difficult to find a special Pokemon in this forest.
Alex had a good idea and went to the Scyther.
Scyther spotted Alex and Zubat and got ready to fight.
Alex saw this and said, "Hey Scyther, I saw your strength and wanted to challenge you to a duel but now that you\'re injured, I don\'t think it\'s fair. How about you fight tomorrow morning at sunrise, Zubat, and you. If I win you will be mine Pokemon and if you win I\'ll give you this item "He picked up an Energy Powder and showed it to Scyther.
Scyther is a Pokemon that values strength. As soon as he saw Energy Powder, he knew it could help him get stronger. It looked in the direction of Zubat and thought that it could win without any problems.
Scyther nodded and sat down. it seems to be resting here, waiting for the dual here.
Alex saw this and thought, "Nice went better than I thought. Probably because Scyther values stronger the most, it was so easily convinced to dual. Well, now I have time to evolve Zubat. I\'m going to the area where I found this Beedrill and train there. "
Alex and Zubat go to the place with the Beedrill\'s and discovered the 5 Beedrill patrolling this area.
All were normal potential and between 13-15 LV.
Zubat receives orders from Alex and uses Shadow Ball against the weakest Beedrill. This Beedrill was overlooked and was hit in the head, he immediately passed out, the 4 Beedrill saw this and flew in the direction of Zubat angry.
Zubat uses Ultrasonic and then he flies away quickly. He used again hit and run tactics. This time he was careful not to get hit by String Shot.
After 2 minutes all 5 defeated Beedrill. Alex went on with Zubat until Zubat discovered 10 Beedrill.
Alex saw the info on this 10 Beedrill. 9 Beedrill were normal and 13-16 lv. But a Beedrill was bronze and lv 19.
Alex thought "hmm, bronze Beedrill lv 19 is probably not much slower than my Zubat. This is a very dangerous fight but probably one that gives Zubat a lot of experience. No, I can\'t risk Zubat life for short-term benefits without knowing the dangers. I prefer to count the advantages and disadvantages before I come to this fight. Poison sting is a problem. If 10 Beedrill were using poison sting at the same time, Zubat probably can\'t dodge them all. Avoiding 5 Poison Sting is Zubat\'s limit. While it doesn\'t do a lot of harm, Zubat isn\'t a Pokémon that can take a lot of harm. Sting shot is also a big problem. as soon as Zubat is slower than this 10 Beedrill he is dead. Haze and Protect can be used one after the other when Zubat is hit by String Shot. Using Haze on its own is too dangerous because it can easily be hit by 10 poison stings.
So that means if Zubat wants to win that he has to quickly defeat 10 Pokemon or he has to have a good chance to avoid Poison Sting and String Shot.
No matter how I think about it, it\'s too dangerous and unpredictable to go into this fight.
While Zubat has a good chance of winning, Zubat\'s life is not worth betting. It is better to look for a weaker opponent."
