章 77: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 77

An hour after the conversation between Alex and Steven ended, Alex heard a knock on his door.

He opened the door and saw Steven's Bodyguard standing in front of him.

He looked at Alex and said, "Hello, I'm Steven Stone's Bodyguard. I'm supposed to deliver these items to you."

Alex saw him taking out a Pokédex and knew what the man wanted to do. The Pokédex and the TRH device have almost the same functions. This means that the Pokédex can also store items.

The man entered Alex's room, and 2 big boxes appeared in Alex's room.

The boxes were quite large and had a height similar to that of Alex. Also, when Alex tried to lift the box, he noticed that these boxes were quite hefty.

The man said, "Ok, I'm done with my job. I wish you a nice day. Also, I wanted to apologize for what I said about you last time."

Alex knew that he now had a different position as Steve's friend. He said, "It's ok. I can understand why you would be skeptical of trainers whom you just came across."

The man smiled with a nod and said goodbye.

Alex, who said goodbye to the Bodyguard, opened one of the two boxes. This large box contained 30 individual pieces of Steel and two lances. There was also a piece of paper attached to the lances.

He took a closer look at the 2 lances and realized that these lances came from the Pokémon Escavalier.

Alex took the piece of paper and read it.

"Lances from an S-Talent Escavalier at the Champion rank. Also, Steel from the same Escavalier."

Alex could not help but hold his breath. The Champion rank Pokémon is no joke. Only the Pokémon who are at level 60 or higher is considered as Champion rank Pokémon.

Although Champion Rank Pokémon is an unattainable rank for Normal trainers, it is a minimum for the Elite Four and the Champion of the region.

Even the weakest Elite Four trainers have at least 3 Champion rank Pokémon. In addition, every Champion of the region have at least 6 Champion rank Pokémon.

Every trainer who has 3 Champion rank Pokémon is called a Champion trainer. There aren't many Champion trainers in the Pokémon world, but each of those trainers is considered a one-man army.

Getting the corpse of such a Pokémon is extremely difficult. Alex couldn't help but get excited about these items.

Scizor saw Escavalier's lances and couldn't help but look greedily at them. He suppressed his instinct to eat these lances. Scizor, who is now a Steel-type Pokémon, can eat Steel without any difficulty.

Alex, who saw this, was curious to see if Scizor will increase his potential when he eats these lances. He said, "Scizor, you can eat these lances."

Scizor had a joyful expression when he found that he can consume these lances.

Alex was shocked at how sharp Scizor's teeth are as he chewed on the Steel of the lances like chewing gum. "Hmm, maybe these lances would be harder to eat if they were still attached to an alive Pokémon. I read that the body of a Pokémon becomes a good deal 'softer' after it dies."

Scizor was enjoying this delicious meal when he felt his body getting stronger and stronger.

When Scizor finished eating and digested both lances, Alex looked at Scizor's information again.

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

Pokémon: Scizor

LV: 34

Type: Bug / Steel

Gender: Male

Potential: Shallow Gold

- (TM) Protect, (TM) Toxic, (TM) Thief, (TM) Facade, (TM) Giga Impact, (TM) U-turn

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

Alex saw that Scizor could not successfully improve his potential and couldn't help but scream out loud, "FCK! Are you kidding with me? A corpse of an S-Talent Escavalier on the Champion rank is not enough? It is really more arduous to improve the potential of a Gold Pokémon than of a Silver Pokémon. Hmm, maybe when Scizor eats 30 pieces of Steel, he can improve his potential. Of course, it is more effective if he eats only 1 piece of Steel per day so that he can absorb the 'energy' of the piece of Steel entirely. I hope that at least these 30 pieces of Steel would be enough to improve his potential. "

Alex suppressed his disappointed expression and opened the other box.

The box was a little different from the other box. This box contained 30 Steel and 30 Rock pieces. Also, it had a big gray Steel plate with a piece of paper.

Alex read the piece of paper.

"Steel plate from an S-Talent Aggron on the Champion rank. Also, Steel and Rock from this Aggron."

Looking the Items that couldn't imagine to have so easily and so soon in such large quantity, Alex thought that he made the right decision to give Steven a favour. Steven, who can get such valuable items so effortlessly, is a really precious friend to have.

Without Steven, Alex may have to search for these items for months before he has a chance to find them. And that doesn't mean he would be able to get them so easily in such high quantity. Not to mention, this was free for him.

He looked in the direction of Shieldon when he thought, "Hmm... Maybe if Shieldon eats the big gray Steel plate shortly before he evolves, he can reach Deep Gold. Though probably not. The difficulty of getting a Pokémon from Shallow Gold to Deep Gold is not that easy to overcome. Hahaha... I'm getting so greedy. I'm no longer satisfied with a Gold rank Pokémon now."

Alex stored the items in his TRH device as he continued to train his Pokémon. He had now more and more self-confidence to get a high rank in this tournament.

"With a little luck, I might even win it."

Though Alex soon started laughing at his own thought.

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

I'm sure many of you don't understand why Scizor is still not on the gold even though he ate such a rare item. (try to avoid the throwing tomatoes)

It has several reasons.

In this world it is really not easy to increase the potential of a Pokemon so that of course Alex also has problems. I don't want it to seem too easy to increase the potential of a Pokemon because it destroys the world a bit. If it's so easy to increase the potential of your Pokemon, why don't most trainers have a Gold Pokemon?

Although Alex received a corpse of a Chamption rank Pokemon (which is very, very rare in this world), it does not mean that his Pokemon can automatically advance to a rank. If it is an item from a full blood legendary Pokemon, it would be something completely different. (I think some don't know the big difference between full blood and half blood, although I explained it very precisely.it's like a half god compared to a real god.)

I really don't want to make Alex weaker unnecessarily, but I am sure that after a few more chapters most people will have understood why I did it that way. (hehe)
