BXBX NOVEL Chapter 66 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 66
7 days later.
In the past days that Alex trained in Team Rocket Base, a lot had happened. He didn\'t not only train his Pokémon but had also bought and sold 6 more Silver Pokémon from the black market.
Alex had considered whether to buy and sell more Silver Pokémon, but after long thinking, he decided against it. If someone suddenly noticed that the number of Pokémon with improved tests had increased significantly, the Hunter Guild and the Rocket Team would probably want to investigate this matter.
The more often he does it, the higher the chance of him being discovered. Alex didn\'t want to sell any more Pokémon in the black market of this town because it was getting too risky.
Alex sold 8 Silver Pokémon that had to repeat the test in the last 13 days to the Hunter Guild. Although Alex wasn\'t sure how many Silver Pokémon were sold in 13 days, it couldn\'t be more than 100 (estimation by Alex). If you consider the 10% error rate from the talent machine, an average of 10 Silver Pokémon (repeated test) were sold there in these 13 days.
That means that Alex probably doubled the number of Silver Pokémon (repeated test) that were sold there for the last 13 days. Regular numbers 10 turned into 18 (10+8) because of Alex.
If Alex had continued to sell Silver Pokémon here, these statistics would have soon become extremely abnormal. And if that was the case, it wouldn\'t have been long before questions arise that why so many Silver Pokémon that have to repeat the test were suddenly being sold. Alex didn\'t want to take such a risk.
After Alex sold these 5 Silver Pokémon for 302,000 Pokédollars in the black market, he bought the Pokémon Food and training items he needed.

In these 10 days, Ralts still couldn\'t evolve herself. But she was still able to learn Calm Mind, which lifted up Alex\'s mood.
Anyone who has played the Pokémon games knows how powerful and useful the move Calm Mind is for Psychic-type Pokémon. In this world, this move is at least as powerful and helpful as it is in the games or maybe even more.
Ralts also managed to get Innate Talent move Disable to the Expert Rank.
Alex and Ralts tested how much better the move on the Expert Rank had become, and Alex had to admit that he was impressed.
Not only Ralts can now move while using it. It can now, under certain conditions, also be used against Pokémon that are of a higher level than Ralts.
After a bit of testing, Alex knew the conditions under which the move will work.
1: The Pokémon must not be more than 10 levels higher than Ralts, and the move that the Pokémon is using must not be on the Expert Rank (or at Master).
2: Ralts can use the Disable against Expert Rank move if Ralts is at the same or higher level than the opponent.
These two prerequisites must be met to be able to use the Disable successfully.
However, after 10 days, not only Ralts but, Crobat and Shieldon had also learned new moves.
Crobat, who can now use Mean Look, can help Alex catch Pokémon more easily.
Shieldon, who has risen 7 levels, and learned two new moves, can now also fight against weak Pokémon to train.
Alex gave his team a satisfying look after the result of these 10 days. Although Alex wasn\'t able to get his two strongest Pokémon to the Elite level before the Kanto Rookie Tournament, the improvement was good enough for him to be sure that he and his team can get a good place.
.....
30 minutes later, Alex teleported out of Team Rocket Base.
Alex, who was now an Official Alliance Trainer, walked in the streets of Pewter City with his Alliance Pokébelt.
He noticed that most people no longer looked at him with contempt and once again felt how rotten the system of this world is.
In this world, those who are not Official Alliance Trainers or Official Alliance Members are treated as two-tier human beings and are despised by most people. That 10% of people are treated as no better than garbage. The weak and poor minority is oppressed and despised by the majority. What a broken system!
Alex understood why so many people join Team Rocket and other crime organizations.
He stepped leisurely in the direction of Mt. Moon as he thought about these kinds of things.
