Chapter 18 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 18
Alex and around 70 rookies gather in the same room where they all met for the first time. But now a few rookies have eyes of determination. There were only around 70 rookies because many rookies died or were so badly injured that they are automatically disqualified.
Lisa looked at all of the rookies and says seriously "Good, now that we are all here we can start. First, the rookies who have conquered your Pokemon come before me."
18 rookies heard this and moved in the direction of Lisa. Of course, one of these rookies was Alex.
Lisa then said to the team rocket soldiers "take out the garbage and let them register as Team rocket Lackey.
Team Rocket is not a charity organization. In order to create a strong trainer, team rocket had to use a lot of resources. Why use this resource for an unskilled person?
The rookies who didn't manage to conquer their Pokemon look enviously in the direction of the 18 rookies. These rookies have to do many tasks before they get another chance to become a trainer.
Lisa looked at the remaining 18 rookies and said "good, now I'll tell you the rules of the tournament, it's very simple. I've made a list where I estimate how strong you are compared to other rookies. I think so It's pretty fair, but because there are definitely a few people who believe they should be higher. So every rookie can challenge one person to a fight once. If the challenge is successful, he will swap rank with the person he has defeated. But should If the challenger loses, he will automatically deduct 100 TR points. Of course, a person who has already been challenged has the right to go to the Team Rocket Pokemon-center to heal his Pokemon. It is forbidden to attack a trainer in any way, it is also forbidden to attack a Pokemon that's already passed out. Ok, that's all the rules.
here is the rank of all rookies"
1. Maria
2. Alex
3. Bruno
4. Lars.
5. Peter
...
Alex was not surprised that he is only in the 2nd place. Maria's Ekans is a monster, it is normal to rate Maria as the strongest rookie. What surprised Alex was that Lars was not in 3rd place but a rookie by the name of Bruno. But he was sure that Bruno would not be a problem for him. he only recognized Maria as a worthy opponent.
Lisa said with an interested look, "Ok, does anyone want to improve their place?
For a short time nobody spoke, it looked as if nobody wanted to challenge anyone. Until Bruno suddenly challenged Maria to a fight. Alex thought that Bruno had just lost 100 TR points unnecessarily. But he was still happy because he can take a closer look at Maria's Ekans.
Both Maria and Bruno took out their Pokemon.
Bruno's Pokemon was a strong looking Rattata
Pokémon: Rattata
LV: 16
Attributes: normal
Abilities: Run Away
Gender: Male
Potential: bronze
Moves: Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Focus Energy, Bite, Super Fang, (TM) Dig
As soon as Alex saw the information from Rattata, he understood why Bruno Maria was challenged. With the TM move Dig he can do serious damage to Maria's Ekans because Dig is a ground type move and therefore very effective against poison Pokemon.
But he thought that Burno still had no chance when he saw Maria's Ekans
Pokémon: Ekans
LV: 18
Attributes: poison
Abilities: Intimidate
Gender: Female
Potential: gold
Move: Poison Sting, Wrap, Leer, Acid, Bite, Haze, (innate talent) Headbutt, (innate talent) Iron Tail, (innate talent) Rock Slide, (TM) Protect
both called their Pokémon and waited for Lisa's sign. Lisa starts the fight and looks with interest in the direction of the fight.
Bruno hears the signal and immediately lets his Rattata use dig. Maria heard the order from Bruno and was briefly surprised this Rattata use dig, but she stayed calm and ordered her Ekans to pay attention to the sound waves on the ground.
Ekans is a pokemon that can perceive sound waves on the ground. Although this skill is often overlooked by the trainer because Ekans can see very well, it does not mean that this skill is useless. Maria knows this and tries to bring Ekan's strengths to light.
Suddenly Rattata jumped out of the ground, Rattata almost hit Ekans who dodged just in time
Maria immediately shouted "Ekans use Acid, aim for the legs"
Ekans use Acid and hit Rattata who was only a meter from Ekans.
Bruno said nervously "Rattata run away from the Ekans"
Rattata's hind leg was hit by the acid. He tries to run away from Ekans, but it wasn't very quick because his leg was injured.
Maria said calmly "Ekans turn after Rattata and catch it with a wrap"
Bruno said excitedly "dodge Rattata"
Rattata barely managed to avoid Ekan's warp. Then Ekans use Bite, and hit Rattata with it.
Rattata screamed in pain.
After feeling this pain, Rattata just wanted to run away from this Ekans.
After Ekans hits Rattata with Bite, Ekans use Wrap immediately.
Rattata failed to dodge and was hit by Wrap. then Ekans wrapped around Rattata.
Rattata now had several wounds and his mobility was restricted.
Bruno saw no chance to win and said sadly "I'm giving up"
"This Ekans is stronger than I thought, it dodges a dig from a faster Pokemon." thought Alex
