BXBX NOVEL Chapter 48 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 48
Alex and his Pokémon rested under a tree after this fierce battle. Alex suddenly heard how he had received a message from Maria on his TRH (Team Rocket Handy) device. He had only given his details to two people. Lars and Maria.
Maria: Hey Alex, I have to prepare for the rookie tournament, and I need a strong training partner for sparring matches. I wanted to ask if you have the time.
Alex: I\'m currently in the wild and won\'t come back to the base within 5 days. If you still have time we can train together after 5 days.
Maria: I can wait, the tournament doesn\'t start for 20 days. See you in 5 days.
Alex: bye-bye.
After being separated from Maria a bit, Alex was calmer with her than before. He still had feelings for her, but he can keep his emotions more in control and talk with a rational mind. Alex wanted to let the relationship develop naturally and not come across as too aggressive.
Alex also wrote a message to Lars and asked him about in general matters. For Alex, Lars is not a real friend, at most an ally. He only wrote to Lars to get some information and to have one more \'friend\' in Team Rocket in the future. Although friendship in Team Rocket is not worth much, it is not a bad thing to have many \'friends\' in Team Rocket.
Lars shared three big pieces of information with Alex.
1: The boss (Giovanni) promoted Instructor Lisa and, now she is a Team Rocket Executive. She is also in charge of the Pewter City Team Rocket base.
2: The reason Instructor Lisa got promoted is that she caught a Half-Blood Legendary Pokémon. Lars doesn\'t know which Legendary Pokémon Instructor Lisa captured.
3. Lars has heard that Pokémon Gym leader Brock will fight an Elite Four within a week. The alliance sends an elite four once a year to check whether a gym leader is strong enough to keep his position. And the test of Brock is in a week.
Alex was shocked at how much had happened. Especially the news that Instructor Lisa caught a Half-Blood legendary Pokémon surprised him very much.
In this world, Legendary Pokémon split into two groups. Half-Blood Legendary Pokémon and Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon.
The difference between these two legendary Pokémon groups is enormous.
Half-Blood Legendary Pokémon are much weaker than the Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon, and you can find them at several places in this world. For example, you can find several Half-Blood Zapdos Pokémon in this world. Furthermore, although they are rare, it is possible to catch a Half-Blood Legendary Pokémon. As proof, Pyramid King Brandon has captured 3 Half-Blood Legendary Pokémon (Regirock, Registeel, Regice). Of course, even Half-Blood Legendary Pokémon are ridiculously rare and are still persecuted and feared by most trainers.
Of the Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon, there is only one Pokémon per species in this world (there is only one Full-Blood Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, etc. in this world). But these Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon are ridiculously powerful. Even a weak, Full-Blood legendary Pokémon (e.g., Zapdos) can destroy an entire small island with one attack, and it would be at least as strong as a Pokémon team(6 Main Pokémon) from the Elite 4. In addition, Full-Blood legendary Pokémon do not age and stay young forever.
In this world, no trainer has ever managed to catch a Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon. They are the reason why the word \'Legendary\' is in their name. There have been many strong trainers in history who have been killed by Full-Blood legendary Pokémon for trying to catch them. Full-Blood legendary Pokémon are gods in this world, and nobody should provoke them in any circumstances.
Alex was hardly surprised that Instructor Lisa got promoted. She had enough strength to become a Team Rocket Executive, and now that she\'s made such a distinguished contribution to Team Rocket, it was only a matter of time before she got promoted.
Alex rough assessment of the ranks in Team Rocket:
Team Rocket Lackey ???
Team Rocket Member LV 15-25
Team Rocket Elite Member LV 25-35
Team Rocket Captain LV 30-39
Team Rocket Elite Captain LV 40-49
Team Rocket Executive LV 45-??
Of course, these level numbers are only average for Team Rocket members and are not always accurate. Some members want to get stronger first and don\'t care much about their promotion. (such as Alex)
Instructor Lisa had an LV 49 Alakazam and was already more than strong enough to be promoted. All she had to do was make an exceptional contribution to Team Rocket to get promoted.
Alex also knew that gym leader Koga, Lt. Surge, Sabrina, Blaine, and three beasts Remus, Ernest, and Carmil had at least the same status in Team Rocket as a Team Rocket Executive. While Alex isn\'t sure, it might probably be even higher than a Team Rocket Executive.
After thinking about the many powerful trainers in Team Rocket, Alex\'s hunger for strength continues to grow.
After 30 minutes, Alex and his Pokémon went further into the forest. Although Alex is not deep in this woods, he is no longer on the edge of the jungle.
Alex wants to train his Pokémon in this area to get stronger faster. Although it\'s relatively dangerous, Alex wasn\'t scared with Ralts on his shoulder. Ralts can teleport Alex and his Pokémon away in an emergency.
After only 15 minutes, Golbat spotted 5 Pokémon that were approaching Alex. 4 Meowth that are between levels 16-22 and have Normal potential and one Persian who is the leader of this group.

Alex said, "Golbat, use Sludge Bomb to defeat these four Meowth. Scyther, you are going to use Fury Cutter on this Persian."
After saying that, he whispered to Ralts, "Get ready to use Teleport in case something unexpected happens."
