章 200: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 200 (Bonus Chapter)
As Alex thought about these various things, he saw that he had received a message from Lisa.
In this message, it was only briefly stated that he should call back as soon as possible.
After a few seconds, he took his TRH device and called Lisa with it.
After not even 3 seconds, he heard that the call was picked up.
"Ahh~ Alex, good that you called quickly. I have to talk to you about something." Lisa had her flirting tone as always, but this time she sounded relatively more serious than usual.
Alex said in a serious tone, "What's wrong, Executive Lisa?"
"Nothing. I just called Maria, and she basically told me what is going on. I also got a call from the Boss yesterday, the reason for which I now understand."
Alex didn't show a surprised expression when he heard that Maria had told Lisa the reason for them to visit the Boss. He knew that Lisa and Maria have a really good relationship and trust each other. Although Alex isn't sure how much they trust each other, he believed this wasn't a relationship that would be easily broken up.
"A call from the Boss?"
"Yes, he had said that this year's big recruiting starts half a year earlier. In this, recruitment is held in every city simultaneously. The last one was 6 months ago, in which you participated. Normally, we only do this big recruiting once a year, or when we really need staff. But Boss has drawn up the schedule by 6 months. The last time something like this happened was 5 years ago. But After the talk, I understood why."
Alex understood immediately and said with a smile, "He wants to help us find subordinates who are not over 18 years old. But that can't be all."
"Yes, I am sure that it is only one reason, and there were a few other reasons why he did it this year. But well, it is definitely good news for you."
"Haha, that's right, I really need some talented trainers right now. Executive Lisa, when is Pewter City going to start The Test?"
Lisa, who immediately understood why Alex was asking about it, smiled when she said, "In a week. The first test will be for 100 participants, and a week later, the second test will be held with another 100 participants."
Alex, who heard that Pewter City will test 200 people, realized that the Team Rocket really has a high standard. Especially when you consider that most of these 200 people would fail this test and only become Team Rocket Lackey. Team Rocket really prefers quality over quantity.
"Executive Lisa, would it be ok if I was in charge of one of these tests?" asked Alex with a fake pleading tone.
"No problem~ Your rank is already high enough. As long as you don't forget to use your average face, hehe~."
Alex remembered something suddenly and showed serious expression when he said next, "Executive Lisa, do you have any subordinates who have a talent for observing trainers?"
"Your rank is high enough that you don't need my help. You can create a mission in the Team Rocket Missions center if you are looking for someone to do that."
"I know. I just want someone who is good at this, and I don't have a lot of time to waste. So I hope that Executive Lisa can help me out this time."
Lisa said with a teasing tone, "Are you ready to owe me a favor~?"
Alex just gave a small smile, "Yeah, I have no problem with a little favor."
Owing Lisa a little favor isn't really that bad because she can't ask much for it. Even if she wanted to annoy him a little with it.
Lisa smiled and said, "No problem~ Tell me his name, and I'll have this person observed from tomorrow. I'll also send you a report every day (written by the person watching the target)."
"Many thanks for the help. His name is Daniel Kirschbaum, and he lost his parents in a Pokémon riot a few years ago. I need all the information you can find. Especially his strength, past, and where he is right now."
"I don't know where he is right now, but I think that shouldn't be a problem for you to find him, shouldn't it? Especially because he took part in the Kanto Rookie tournament, and you can easily find his photo."
Lisa smiled, "No problem~ See you in a week in Pewter City, hehe~."
Alex also said goodbye and started his daily meditation exercises.
Daniel Kirschbaum only met Alex once, but Alex never forgot him. His cautious and cold demeanor and his young age made him a good candidate in Alex's memories.
Especially the fact that he lost his parents in a Pokémon riot a few years ago but still had such a love for Pokémon was really unusual.
Together with his hidden aversion to the Alliance that gives him money every month and his talent as a trainer, he was Alex's first choice.
Of course, that was only the case because he was under 18 years of age. And therefore, Alex couldn't take much better trainers like Adam, for whom Alex also had some ideas.
When Alex had finished his exercise for today, he noticed that he could suddenly hear the thoughts of Gardevoir or other Pokémon they allowed him to.
He could finally talk to Pokémon without the help of Gardevoir.
That was the third Psychic skill Alex had learned and the most useful one, for now, at least.
More than 1 week ago, he could only bend a spoon with a thought if he is touching it.
Unfortunately, this ability was only usable on small objects and was still far too weak to be really useful.
The second skill was that Alex could start levitating very light objects. Although it sounds very impressive, right now, he can only let coins float.
'Every beginning is difficult,' thought Alex as he thought about his 'powerful' Psychic abilities.
Although it is relatively useless at this moment, each of these 3 skills had unbelievable potential, so Alex was not really disappointed with his current strength.
