Pokemon: Master of tactics-Chapter 331: Pokemon master of tactics -

The referee signaled Alex and Ezra to call out their first Pokemon at the same time.

A Blaziken and a Butterfree appeared in the Stadium at the same time.

Alex had long thought about which Pokemon he wanted to start the battle with, against Ezra.

Because each Pokemon can only be switched once in each match, Alex decided against choosing Crobat as his first Pokemon in this match.

He intended to save Crobat until his opponent showed Heracross or he will have a real problem later aginst this Heracross without Crobat.

Alex looked with a serious expression at the information from Butterfree.

---------------------

Alex, who knew that his opponent was around 25 years old, isn't surprised that such a trainer's Pokemon has multiple Master-rank moves. That's almost to be expected against Pokemon with such a high level

But when he saw how this Butterfree had a move like [Quiver Dance] as an Innate Talent move, he couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

[Quiver Dance] is probably one of the most broken moves a Bug-Type Pokemon can learn, and it's even stronger in this world than it is in the Games.

The main reason is that the speed stat is extremely useful in real fights and makes many moves useless with enough quickness. Although there are moves that hit quick Pokemon no matter how fast they are, it is still many times more important in this world than it is in the games.

"3,2,1, GO"

After the referee had started the match, both trainers immediately started giving their first order. fr eeweb novel

"Butterfree use [Quiver Dance] + [Stun Spore]"

"A1"

As always, Alex had given Blaziken a starting strategy before this fight so that she could immediately prepare her new move without Alex's orders.

But Alex immediately gave an order at the start of the fight which caused Blaziken to interrupt her first move [Sunny Day] and then she started preparing the move "A1".

That was the biggest disadvantage of this tactic. if you order your Pokemon to prepare a move but change your mind later in the fight, it will lose more time than when you give normally a move

It wastes a bit of time because the Pokemon has to cancel the first move before it can start preparing the new move. In the end, the Pokemon loses more preparation time if you change your mind at the start of the fight.

But Alex showed an indifferent expression as he waste a bit of time. He had long known this was the case, but that didn't change his mindset towards this tactic. A double-edged sword isn't inherently bad as long as you know it can hurt you.

It was a pity that he wasn't allowed to command his pokemon after both pokemon were summoned to the Arena or he would have commanded his pokemon before the start of the match.

Alex had also considered trying to bypass this rule and cheat with telepathy or other signals but he decided against it. It wasn't worth it. If he was caught for breaking this rule, he would lose the chance of getting his prizes and his reputation would take a hit.

Although Blaziken started preparing for her move a bit later as Butterfree, she finished first her move.

Alex flashed a smile as he thought, 'haha, preparing two moves immediately is a bit brave and is not without drawbacks.'

Blaziken's entire body emits a pink aura and she flashes a mischievous smile to Butterfree. She used [Attract] and Butterfree immediately put on a stunned expression.

Butterfree looked at Blaziken's body with a paralyzed expression and he even forgot to continue to prepare his two moves. The two moves that weren't fully prepared were both canceled.

Immediately after the hit, Alex gave his next order. "Blaziken, go on with the original plan."

Ezra gave an expression of bewilderment as he suddenly said loudly, "AHH, what? Butterfree, wake up! Stop it!"

Alex just gave a smile as he thought that a Master rank [Attract] isn't a joke against Pokemon of the opposite sex. This move was effective against Butterfree, even with Blaziken having a small level disadvantage.

Blaziken finished preparing her next move and she immediately used the move [Sunny Day], which caused the temperature in the whole arena to rise sharply. 𝙛𝓻𝙚𝙚𝔀𝙚𝓫𝓷𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

Ezra is still trying to wake up his Pokemon and it's only when Blaziken is half done with her new move, that Butterfree "wakes up" from his condition.

"Butterfree use [Quiver Dance] and run away from Blaziken. Also, try to dodge Blaziken's next move."

Alex show a serious expression as he said, "Blaziken follow it"

Blaziken was faster than Butterfree and Butterfree didn't manage to distance himself from Blaziken.

Although both Pokemon should about have the same Speed(because of the level difference), Blaziken is faster because she had the Hidden Ability [Speed ??Boost].

Blaziken finished with her next move and she uses [Rock slide]

Butterfree tried to dodge but couldn't and took a lot of damage. She lost about half her HP despite being 3 levels higher than Blaziken.

Butterfree's poor HP and terrible defense, along with an Expert-ranked move with quadruple damage, caused Butterfree to take so much damage.

Ezra gave an expression of slight confusion and thought 'why did Blaziken use [Sunny Day] and immediately afterward [Rock Slide]? What is this idiot doing? ... Anyway I have to do something quickly or Butterfree will lose.'

He activated his Pokeball immediately and called Butterfree back without giving Alex time to react.

The referee said aloud, "Participant Ezra makes a successful switch."

He then looked at Ezra when the referee said, "You have 30 seconds to switch to a different Pokemon."
