Pokemon: Master Of Tactics

Alex looked at Torchic with a kind smile and said, "Do you want to fight this Pokémon?"

Torchic, who has been very active since her birth, would annoy Alex several times a day. Thus he thought that he should look for a fight for her. So when she finally heard that Alex allowed her to fight, she showed an excited expression and ran around excitedly.

Alex had expected this kind of behavior from her and could only give a wry smile. If Alex could describe Torchic's personality in one word, it would be 'Playful'.

Torchic walked in front of Alex's group and got ready for the fight. Although Alex hadn't allowed her to fight, he had explained a lot about fighting, so she knows at least basic knowledge.

Kirlia walked between both Pokémon and gave the signal to start the fight.

"Torchic, let's start with Attract."

Alex, who doesn't know exactly how the move Attract works in this world, wanted to test it immediately against this Pokémon. Alex cannot imagine that Torchic being able to use this move effectively against Elite Pokémon. Like Disable, Growl, and Confuse Ray in this world, this move definitely has some requirements to work.

Krabby, who seems to be fighting for the first time, looked curiously at Torchic and didn't immediately use a move. Kingler got furious after seeing this and started shouting at Krabby, who just wasted crucial time.

Krabby got a little nervous after getting yelled at and started preparing Bubble.

Torchic quickly managed to use Attract, and Krabby stopped doing anything and just looked at Torchic with a mesmerized expression.

Alex saw that Krabby was doing nothing except looking in the direction of Torchic and was amazed. The power of Attract is better than he thought. Although this move has specific requirements to work correctly, it can be very helpful in a battle if the opponent is hit by it.

While the fight was on, Torchic noticed that her feet were getting lighter and lighter; and looked perplexedly at her feet. This is the first time she felt that she was suddenly becoming faster for no reason.

Speed Boost in this world only works when a Pokémon is in a fight and is immediately reset when the fight is over, which didn't make it as strong as Alex had hoped. But even with this disadvantage, Speed Boost is probably one of the best skills in the world.

"Torchic, use Sunny Day!"

Torchic heard Alex and started using Sunny Day.

After a few seconds, Alex felt that it was getting a bit warm, but he noticed that the sun was still covered by the clouds, which meant that this move does not affect the real sun.

Krabby, who was still looking in the direction of Torchic, showed no signs of 'waking up'.

Alex thought that it might be hard to wake up from Attract if the Pokémon is not harmed. He decided to do many tests with the move Attract later in order to find out exactly. The knowledge of how and when a move works are one of the most fundamental requirements of a trainer.

"Torchic, use Overheat."

Krabby, who had a terrible Sp. Def of 25, probably couldn't take this strong attack even if he is a Water-type Pokémon.

Torchic gathered all the fire energy in her body and sent a big ball of flame, similar to the soccer ball, towards Krabby, who just snapped out of Torchic's Attract.

Krabby could not evade this attack and was hit by this attack, which led him to pass out the next moment.

Fortunately, Pokémon heal relatively quickly, so the leader showed no concern for Krabby's injury. Normally, Pokémon can only take permanent damage if they are unconscious or overwork their bodies and keep fighting like Crobat in the finale.

Kingler took Krabby and gave him to another Kingler who was protecting him while he was unconscious. Although Kingler is a Pokémon that can value strength, they don't mistreat losers.

Alex walked towards the tired Torchic and started praising her for her great fight.

Torchic, who had heard so many compliments from Alex for the first time, brightly smiled as she listened. She jumped on Alex's red cape when she noticed that she was getting tired and made herself comfortable on Alex's head.

Alex was completely surprised by Torchic's action and didn't know for a moment what to do. Torchic being on his head doesn't bother him much, and it doesn't make it difficult for him to move around. But it felt like his respect as a trainer was being violated. Although he can bring her down and yell for her actions, Alex thought that it was unnecessary. Kirlia also really enjoyed sitting on his shoulder when she was a kid (Ralts). So Torchic probably wants to do that, too.

"Is this how it feels to have kids? I may have a weak spot for young Pokémon."

Crobat, who saw this scene, laughed out loud. But shortly after a few seconds, he suddenly stopped and thought, "Hey, am I imagining it, or is our trainer nicer to Torchic than to me?"

Scizor, who didn't want to miss the chance to make fun of Crobat, said, "Of course he is. No idea why you're making such a stupid comment. Unless you want to be treated like a child. Well, that will suit your mental age. Hahaha!"

Ditto, who is usually shy, said, "Umm, I think that's because she's a female. Although I don't quite get it, our trainers seem to treat female Pokémon better."

Shieldon had a curious expression when he asked, "Ohh, is that really so? Brother Scizor, do you know why he's doing this?"

"Hey, why are you asking those barbecue tongs when the smart Pokémon is in front of you."

Scizor was instantly annoyed. "You're just the most arrogant Pokémon, so shut up. Ahh to answer your question ..."

As Scizor talked, Crobat cut him off, and they both started insulting each other.

Kirlia, who had been listening to this conversation in silence until now, could only shake her head with helplessness.

She looked in the direction of Shieldon and said, "I hope you don't take after these two elder brothers of ours and behave responsibly."

Shieldon nodded to his big sister but still looked interestingly at the two quarreling Pokémon.

Kirlia and Ditto could only breathe a helpless sigh.
