BXBX NOVEL Chapter 86 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 86
Alex silently watched the whole fight with full attention but couldn\'t get enough useful information from it.
Misty used only her Golduck to quickly defeat the two Pokémon from participant 55.
Although Alex wasn\'t sure, he believed that Golduck might not be at Elite level yet.
After the fight was over, Alex waited for the other participants to fight.
He mainly looked at the top 8 participants.
The trainer with participant number 4 was called Roberta, and she won her battle easily with her Victreebel. When Alex saw this blonde girl, he felt that he had seen her before in the Pokémon games. Though he couldn\'t pinpoint exactly where he had seen her.
This Victreebel from Roberta looked strong, but not so strong that Crobat or Scizor would lose against it. Although Alex knew that it was most likely not the strongest Pokémon of Roberta, it still helped him increase his self-confidence.
As long as the strength difference is not that big, Alex thought he had a good chance to win this tournament.
Alex started focusing again when it was participant number 2\'s turn.
The trainer\'s name was Junichi, and he was wearing a karate tracksuit with a black belt.
Alex couldn\'t think of anything other than the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City. Although he wasn\'t sure whether he would be the main boss of that Fighting Dojo, he was confident that this trainer had at least one high position in this Fighting Dojo.
He didn\'t remember the name of the Fighting Dojo\'s head, so he wasn\'t exactly sure whether he would be the future head of the Fighting Dojo.
Junichi quickly defeated his opponent with his Hitmonlee, so Alex could not find much from this fight.
As Alex was looking thoughtfully at the TV, a staff member walked in his direction.
"Participant 6, right? Your fight is about to start. Please follow me."
Alex and a young girl walked out of the participant room as they followed this staff member.
When Alex entered the arena, he heard applause and mockery from the audience.
"Haha, is that the willpower guy?"
"Willpower guy, give up before you embarrass yourself."
"Idiot! Fcking idiot!"
It seemed that some people in the audience had seen the preshow, and they were making fun of Alex.
Alex wasn\'t surprised by this and didn\'t show an expression on his face.
In comparison, Contestant No. 42, the female trainer, was much more popular with the audience. She was treated by the audience like a hero who was supposed to defeat this idiot.
The referee looked at both participants as he explained the rules again.
Alex and the female trainer looked towards the referee, and they called their first Pokémon at the same time.
Kirlia and a Jumpluff appear at the same time in the arena.
"Are both participants ready? Ok. 3,2,1, GO!"

-------------------------------------
Alex acted arrogantly, "Kirlia, show this Jumpluff your strength."
The female trainer commanded "Stun Spore" at that time.
Kirlia, who had discussed the tactics with Alex before the round, didn\'t show a surprised expression after hearing Alex\'s retarded command.
She used Teleport to get out of range of Stun Spore and then used Calm Mind.
Jumpluff\'s Stun Spore move had not reached the Expert rank, so he could not move while using it. So he had no choice but to cancel the move.
The female trainer saw this and said, "Jumpluff, go back within the range and use Stun Spore again."
When Jumpluff started to prepare Stun Spore again, Kirlia was done using the Calm Mind.
Immediately after that, Kirlia used Thunder Wave.
Both Kirlia and Jumpluff used their move simultaneously and hit each other Pokémon with their paralyzing moves.
Alex, who saw this, suppressed his smile. He had told Kirlia beforehand that as long as she can paralyze this Jumpluff, she didn\'t need to worry about getting paralyzed herself. The reason is simple.
Jumpluff needs its speed and agility to avoid attacks.
Kirlia isn\'t fast enough to dodge attacks in the first place, so the paralyzed state makes a little difference to her. Especially when her primary evasive means is Teleport.
"Jumpluff, now use Leech Seed."
Kirlia, who heard this, used Disable with a slower speed.
Although Kirlia didn\'t use Expert rank speed, she was still able to successfully Disable Jumpluff\'s Leech Seed before he can use it.
Although Kirlia was faster, she was only a bit faster. So the other participants would think that Kirlia\'s Disable is not at the Expert rank. Alex wanted to show as little information as possible to the strong participant.
"Jumpluff, use Energy Ball."
Kirlia started preparing Psychic before the trainer gave her order.
Psychic met the Jumpluff that was just preparing Energy Ball.
Although Jumpluff received good damage, it still had enough HP to withstand a few more attacks. Jumpluff Sp. Def was good enough to handle the attacks of Kirlia without losing his focus on his own moves.
After tanking this attack, he used Energy Ball.
Unfortunately, the Energy Ball was avoided by Kirlia via Teleport. Though Kirlia wasted a lot of energy using Teleport, it was worth it.
After 3 more similar exchanges, Kirlia could no longer use Teleport and had no choice but to use Protect.
Jumpluff, who had to endure 4 Psychic from Kirlia, also knew that it won\'t be able to take on any more attacks unless he uses Protect.
Although Kirlia had not taken any harm and Jumpluff had only around 20% HP, Kirlia had no more evasive options left.
Kirlia used Psychic 2 times more and successfully defeated the Jumpluff.
The female trainer who saw how easily her strongest Pokémon was defeated had a dark expression on her face. She didn\'t mind losing to a stronger trainer, but she didn\'t want to lose to a retard trainer like Alex, who didn\'t even give a proper command to his Pokémon.
