Chapter 96 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 96 (Bonus )
Alex brought Crobat back to the Pokéball who just defeated Junichi\'s last Pokémon. You could see a small smile plastered on Alex\'s face.
The feeling of victory over a much stronger opponent is really indescribable. The spectators were screaming excitedly for Alex\'s win. Alex had never felt so strong and confident.
The audience saw that for the first time in the history of this tournament, the contestant with participant number 6 has reached the final and applauded and cheered a lot for Alex\'s achievements. His achievements made him by far the most popular participant. Although most of the audience didn\'t think Alex had a chance to really win the tournament, they couldn\'t help but clap for him. What he has achieved wasn\'t something anyone could do. As a matter of fact, he was the first one to achieve it.
Alex, who was about to leave the arena, saw a blonde woman approaching him along with a camera team. She was none other than the one who interviewed him the last time. Or you could say the first time since Alex has only given 1 interview.
The blonde woman gave a seductive smile when she asked, "Participant Alex, do you have time for a short interview?"
Alex, who saw the (fake) smile from the woman, thought, "Wow, this woman has thick skin. First, ridicule me. And when she saw my strength and success, she is being seductive now. Hmm... Well, I\'m not exactly a noble person myself."
"Can an interview help me get a little advantage? I think that the chances of Misty believing the words from my interview are close to 0%. So the old trick probably won\'t work anymore. But that doesn\'t mean the interview will be completely useless to create an advantage for me."
Alex agreed and went to a quiet place with the blonde woman and the camera team.
The blonde woman asked if Alex was ready before asking her first question.
"Alex, after you surprised all participants and spectators and reached the final, do you think that you will be the winner of this tournament?"
Alex gave a small smile as he said \'honestly\', "No. I made all of these plans to get into the finals. To be honest, I still can\'t believe that my plans have worked so well so far."
"How sure are you that you can win the final?"
Alex made a helpless expression. "Win? *sigh* Unfortunately, the only tactic that comes to mind that would allow me to win against Misty is very risky. Although this plan is risky for me, I couldn\'t think of a better plan against Misty."
"Can I ask why you can\'t use the tactics from the other rounds?"
"The reason is relatively simple. It is not possible. Water Pokémon have many moves with a large attack range. Thus my Sandstorm plan would not work. The Scizor tactic is completely useless since the opponent already knows it. To get a chance to have the victory, I have to use my risky tactics. Basically, my luck will decide my success."
Although Alex said this with a serious face, he thought something else. "Although the Sandstorm tactic is really not that good against Water-type Pokémon, it doesn\'t mean that it is useless against this type. The real reason is that Misty has a Pokémon that can use Rain Dance that makes this plan almost impossible to succeed."
"Alex, can you tell me what the plan is exactly? I promise I won\'t tell anyone."
Alex showed a sarcastic face when he said, "Oh, really? How great! I met a rare journalist in the world who can keep a secret. What a miracle!"
The blonde woman showed an annoyed expression when she said, "Come on~ No reason to be so sarcastic."
Alex didn\'t say anything about this statement, and the atmosphere soon turned uncomfortable.
After a few more minutes of general questions, the blonde woman and the camera team said goodbye to Alex.
As they left, the blond woman gave Alex a slip of paper with a phone number.
Alex, who saw this note, briefly showed a confused expression when he looked at the woman who was slowly walking away. Alex had the feeling that she swung her hips a little more unnecessarily as she walked away.
Although he knew that this approach probably had nothing to do with his face, he still felt a bit more handsome.
He took the paper and threw it into the nearest garbage can before he and Kirlia went towards his hotel.
While walking, many people recognized Alex in town. They showed an expression of interest and admiration as he walked around town. Many children also ask for an autograph from Alex when they saw him.
...
Alex and his Pokémon were sitting in the hotel.
Alex\'s Pokémon have trained for today, so they all have free time to pursue their hobby.
Kirlia was calmly reading a book on a small chair. Her speed of reading was also very impressive as she quickly finished a small book and started reading another one. She also likes to play chess against Ditto.
Crobat has no real hobby. Though he flys to the top of these hotels at night and keep watch. Although he denied that he does it to take care of Alex and his Pokémon at night and said that he likes the air at night, Alex knows that it isn\'t the whole reason Crobat does this.
Scizor is one of the few Pokémon from Alex who continued to train independently even after the long training hours. Although he also likes to watch the TV aside from training when a Pokémon fight is going on.
Ditto likes playing with Shieldon. This type of fighting games is good for the development of Shieldon, who is still just a kid. Ditto also likes to play chess against Kirlia, although it has not won yet. You gotta praise its fighting spirit.
Shieldon likes to play with Ditto. He also likes to watch TV when he sees something interesting in it. He also goes to Alex\'s direction and plays with him when he sees that Alex is free.
