BXBX NOVEL Chapter 155 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 155
The group kept walking until Crobat suddenly spoke, "I have discovered a group of 3 Pokémon that are slowly coming in our direction."
Alex showed a peculiar expression when he said, "Be ready to fight. Let\'s see what strength this group of Pokémon has."
After about 30 seconds, the group of Pokémon came into their sight, slowly coming in front of Alex\'s group.
A group of 3 Magmar was walked in front of the group with a nonchalant but slightly arrogant expression.
Two of the Magmar\'s were only LV 32 & LV 37 and didn\'t have good potential (Bronze & Deep Bronze). But one of these Magmar, who was obviously the leader, was really strong.
-------------------------------

Potential: Deep Silver
Moves:
- Ember, Leer, Smog, Ember, Smokescreen, Feint Attack, Fire Spin, Clear Smog, Flame Burst, Confuse Ray, Fire Punch [E], Lava Plume, Sunny Day
- (Innate Talent) Psychic [E]
--------------------------------
Alex, who saw this information, knew that this Pokémon was very dangerous.
Although it has no trainer\'s Pokemon and is less dangerous than a LV 48 Pokémon that is trained by a trainer, the level difference is so huge that it is relatively risky for Alex to fight these Pokémon.
It\'s also much more dangerous than Kingler on the island since Alex knew that this Pokémon has a good move like Psychic to quickly defeat his group.
Only Scizor or "possibly" Bastiodon can survive a Psychic from this Magmar.
With the Psychic being almost inevitable, this Pokémon is an almost unstoppable monster against Alex\'s group.
Magmar looked at Alex\'s Pokémon and thought about the possibility of attacking Alex\'s group. He observed mainly Crobat and Scizor, who are on the Elite rank.
After a few seconds, he decided to talk to this group first and then decide. Although he thought he could win against this group, it would be a close fight that could lead to his defeat if he was not careful. Especially because he knows through experience that a trainer\'s Pokémon are a good deal stronger than the Pokémon of wilderness. Magmar, who is already old and has ruled this part of this forest for a long time, knew that if the opponent is of similar strength, it is better not to fight recklessly.
Magmar looked at Alex and his group and said, "Intruder, what are you doing here?"
Alex, who could understand the words through the [Telepathy] of Gardevoir, said with a solemn expression, "I have to cross this forest to get to my goal. Don\'t worry, I won\'t stay for long."
Magmar gave Alex a cold look as he said, "You think that I will just forgive you after you illegally walk through my territory? Where did you get this arrogance, human?"
Some Pokémon species that rule a territory hate it when strong Pokémon or humans just enter it unauthorized. It is seen as provocative and almost always ends up as fighting between the two parties.
Although weak Pokémon often enters the territory, it is not really seen as provocation because these Pokémon are too weak to harm the leaders of the territories. They are like pebbles on the side of the road in their eyes.
Alex\'s group, who have a good fighting strength together, entered just like that in their territory. And this pissed off Magmar a bit.
Although he didn\'t want to fight right away, he wanted compensation from these intruders.
"Should I say he is quite smart, or is it more proper to say that he is more experienced? With his potential, he has to be very old to reach this level." thought Alex when he noticed that Magmar was angry but preferred to avoid a fight.
Alex, who already has been in the wilderness a lot, could understand the reason well.
Pokémon in the wilderness, more often than not, can\'t heal their injuries quickly. Even though they heal on their own after a few days from injuries that are not critical, it is still very dangerous for a Pokémon not to be able to fight effectively for too long.
Even if Magmar defeated Alex\'s group, he would surely suffer severe injuries, making him an easy target for other Elite Pokémon who lives in this forest.
Although it is unlikely that at this point in time, another Elite Pokémon from another area of this forest would attempt to attack Magmar, it is not impossible.
Magmar, who has lived for a long time, knows that; and therefore doesn\'t want to fight futile if it can be avoided.
Of course, if Alex does something that bothers Magmar so much that he is ready to take this risk and attack Alex.
As an experienced Leader and Pokémon who lived a long time, he knew when to be aggressive and when to wait.
Alex showed a thoughtful expression when he said, "How about we come to an agreement?"
Magmar kept a watchful eye when he said, "What kind of agreement are we talking about?"
"One thing that is beneficial to both of us. Basically, a win-win situation."
After a short dramatic pause, Alex said with a smile, "We\'re going to make a competition to decide whether we can walk through your area. One of your two subordinates will fight against one of my Pokémon with a similar level. And the winner will decide how we deal with this situation. If you win, I will heal your Pokémon and then leave your area immediately. And if I win, you will allow us to walk through your area. In addition, I will still heal Pokémon under you even if he has lost so that he can get at least valuable experience without any risks."
Magmar, who knew that his subordinates probably couldn\'t win against Pokémon from a trainer at the same level, instantly understood that he would probably lose if he accepted this offer.
But the thought that one of his subordinates can safely gain experience made him accept this unfair offer.
Magmar thought for a few seconds and then said in a threatening tone, "Ok, but if my subordinates get permanent damage, and I\'ll turn you into ashes."
Alex looking at Magmar\'s cold face and showed a calm expression as he said, "No problem as long as you stick to your words."
Magmar just looked at Alex and said, "In contrast to you humans, Pokémon are a lot more honest and don\'t try to play any tricks."
Alex, who knew that Magmar was right, stopped talking and calmly looked at which Magmar wanted to send as a fighter.

[EN] lol. Magmar gave a \'cold\' look in this chapter. What an irony!
