Pokemon: Master of tactics

After Lars and the instructor, Lisa left the public dining hall. Alex sent Lars a message via his TRH device to know whether he was okay. Although Lars isn't friends with Alex, he's at least an ally. That's why Alex still wants to know how he's doing. But he wasn't ready to help Lars if there weren't any advantages for him.

Alex quickly ate his 5 TR points menu and went back to his room. ​​

In the room, he took out his TM Protect and let Zubat touch the TM. A magical thing happened, that TM dissolved like a pill in water. Alex didn't even think it was weird. In a world with Pokeballs, Alex doesn't believe that another invention will ever impress him again.

After Zubat learned the TM Protect, Alex ran several tests. The result was that Zubat can use Protect once every 15 minutes and 42 seconds. In addition, the stability and size are inadequate. The size is only as big as Zubat and he cannot do a 360-degree Protect. the stability also seems to be inadequate. Alex tested it with his fist even though the process blocked the blow, it had several cracks on the surface. The stability was really bad that even a weak person can cause harm.

Alex has already drawn up a training plan for Zubat. 2 hours of body training in the morning and evening.

At noon and after the body training, moves like Protect and Shadow Ball are trained. So that Zubat has maximum strength in the rookie tournament. Alex has more than one reason to win the rookies tournament.

After Zubat used Protect 20 times and Shadow Ball 54 times, the results were outstanding.

Protect was no longer so small and unstable. although it was not yet the size and stability that Alex wanted, it was impressive progress.

Shadow Ball also showed great progress, becoming faster and stronger. Although the Shadow Ball didn't get any bigger, Alex didn't care about size, especially if it was hard to improve. Alex thinks the speed and strength of a move are most important. Although flexibility and stability are important, Alex finds that it can wait until the strength and speed are brought to a high level,

Alex always watched Zubat training and praised him for his commitment. He also told Zubat all the benefits of being strong. Alex wants to motivate Zubat to become stronger and to show that they can achieve the goal together. Like humans, Pokemon have personalities. A good trainer knows how to use the personality of a Pokemon. Alex tries to explain to Zubat why strength is so important and why he should give 100% in training. Alex also told Zubat that he could buy him lots of delicious blood if he were stronger. That made Zubat very motivated.

After 5 hours of intensive training, Alex Zubat let rest in his Pokeball and went to the public dining hall to buy something to eat. He also saw that Lars had sent him a message telling him what happened to him.

After Lars was taken from the public dining hall, he was moved to a small room with only 2 chairs and a table. instructor Lisa pelted him with questions for hours and watched the video monitoring with him. She came to the conclusion that Lars' reaction is justified, so she mustn't punish him. But instructor Lisa still threatened Lars with fines if he didn't do her a favor. Lars didn't think about it for long and agreed. He just wanted to get out of this room. But Alex, who read this text, noticed that he was describing instructor Lisa in a positive light. Especially after he was bribed by her, he doesn't seem to feel angry for her. Alex found this very strange.

Alex thought "maybe Lars has fallen in love with instructor Lisa. No, it can also be that he is very afraid of instructor Lisa that he doesn't even dare to say a bad word about her. Whichever of these possibilities applies is irrelevant for me."

If Lars is in love Alex would find it difficult to convince him to stay away from Lisa and if he is afraid of Lisa, Alex thinks that is justified.

"I should think about how I can make Zubat stronger than to getting involved in Lars' affairs." thought Alex
