Chapter 316: 316

Although this position doesn't look particularly promising, Alex felt that it was a very favorable situation for Gardevoir.

Primarily for his plan, it doesn't matter if Flygon is strengthened with [Dragon Dance] or not.

Gardevoir, who first started preparing her move, finished preparing [Dazzling Gleam] and was using it immediately.

Flygon, who was only 30 meters away and was flying high in the air, could not dodge it and was hit by this move.

He showed a slight expression of pain and lost nearly 20% of his hp from that 1 hit.

Flygon finished his move shortly after being hit and he started using it immediately.

His whole body was enveloped in flying-type energy when he began to dive in the direction of Gardevoir.

He achieved an incredibly fast speed that made it impossible for Gardevoir to evade it normally.

Gardevoir, however, showed a calm expression and used [Teleport] which she had prepared immediately after using [Dazzling Gleam].

She appears on the edge of the other side of the arena and Flygon completely missed its target.

Alex, who kept a calm expression the whole time, felt that Flygon and his trainer are really unlucky. Gardevoir with its move [Teleport] and her Fairy typing is a hard counter against Flygon.

Gardevoir's [Teleport] is a very powerful weapon but not unbeatable.

First of all, [Teleport] cannot be used or prepared when Gardevoir is using a move or when preparing a move.

Second, even if Gardevoir teleported over the whole arena without hitting, it doesn't matter if she can't do any harm. apart from that, the Gardevoir cannot use this [Teleport] indefinitely.

Gardevoir must prepare a move, use it and then immediately prepare [Teleport].

Although [Teleport] takes less time to prepare than normal moves, it still takes about 1 second.

If Gardevoir and the opponent are preparing a range move at the same time and using it at the same time, Gardevoir cannot avoid this move (unless the projectile is particularly slow) with [Teleport].

But even with these "flaws", is this move ridiculously powerful.

Especially against opponents like this Flygon.

Alex was very impressed by Flygon's many powerful Moves but he immediately noticed a major weak point.

Flygon didn't have a Move where the target doesn't have to be very close.

It didn't even have a range move on the Expert-rank.

Even [Earthquake] which does more damage with less distance cannot be classified as a range move.

Alex sees this Flygon as a nightmare in close combat, but completely defenseless in mid to long-range combat.

But because Flygon can use [Dragon Dance] and because his Species has a very good basic speed, it is seldom the case, where he cannot force his opponent into a close combat fight.

Flygon is very unlucky that he met Gardevoir.

Gardevoir can completely ignore his outstanding advantages.

Alex looked at the old-looking man and suddenly saw how this man changed his expression as if he could see what was happening in this sand stream.

Although he couldn't sense the psychic energy of this old-looking man, Alex knew that it's not difficult to hide his psychic energy when you're not using it.

Only if Alex had a much stronger psychic ability than the old-looking man could he find out whether this man has psychic abilities or not. at least as long as the man does not use psychic energy.

The old-looking man said with a serious expression, "Flygon use [Roost] while you're preparing [Fly]."

Although Flygon can use two moves at once, Alex knew that the effectiveness of those moves is decreased when they are used at the same time.

[Roost] heals less and takes longer to prepare.

[Fly] does less damage and takes longer to prepare.

'Hmmm he doesn't seem to have as much talent in direct combat as he does in training his pokemon.' thought Alex when he heard the order from his opponent.

Although the command from this man is not bad, it was according to Alex, not much better than from a regular elite-level trainer.

Flygon couldn't hit Gardevoir with [Fly] so it doesn't make sense to prepare for this move and it would be even more effective if he just used [Roost].

Apart from the fact that it did not turn the direction of this fight. Alex wouldn't use any of these two tactics.

If both Pokémon continue to fight in the same pattern, Flygon clearly loses.

[Dazzling Gleam] does too much damage to be out-healed by [Roost].

Alex also noticed at this moment that, even at this high level, hardly any trainers have good tactics.

Lt. Surge was the only trainer he had fought against, Where Alex can say that he was very skilled in tactics.

Because Alex hadn't said anything, Gardevoir continues with her [Teleport] and [Dazzling Gleam] strategy.

After just 1 minute, Flygon fell unconscious after being hit by a [Dazzling Gleam].

The old-looking man tried many things in this fight but couldn't find a way and lost the fight, without Alex having to change his starting strategy even once.

Alex showed a little smile after his victory. With this victory, his preliminary rounds are over and he is now one of the top 64 participants, who will take part in the main event.

The old-looking man healed his Flygon and then walked in front of Alex with a slightly kind expression.

"Boy, you are too strong for me. You hardly tried hard and still beat me so easily."

Alex, who hadn't expected such an honorable attitude from this grumpy-looking man, was briefly surprised.

"Ahh thank you but, I gave everything for this match and prepared as much as I can with the little available information."

"To be honest, the matchup was very unfavorable for you."

The old-looking man laughed and said, "haha well it's my own fault. Although only a few Pokemon can use the move [Teleport], I should still trained at least 1 range move to the Expert-rank."

Alex and the old-looking man shook hands and talked for almost an hour. Alex not only learns that this man is called Ben but also exchanged his contact info with Ben.

Although Alex did not have a very sociable personality, he found his conversation with Ben very pleasant and found Ben's Charakter very likable.
