BXBX NOVEL Chapter 28 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 28
Alex and Golbat walk for 20 minutes until they see a scyther.
This Scyther had blood on his mouth and scythes. There was also a corpse of a Rattata next to him. It looked like Scyther was having breakfast.
Alex who saw this was a bit nauseous, but he suppressed the feeling quickly. He knows that many Pokemon survive because they eat other Pokemon.
Scyther saw Alex and Golbat and was briefly confused. But he quickly understood that Zubat has evolved.
Alex said, "Scyther are you ready ?."
Scyther got ready to fight and nodded. Golbat saw this and also got ready to fight.
Golbat has great advantages in this fight because Scyther takes twice the damage from Flying and because Golbat only takes 1/4 the damage from Scyther Bug-moves. He is also 5 LV higher than Scyther.
Alex said, "Golbat use Confuse Ray and then use Wing Attack."
Golbat created a yellow bullet and fired it in the direction of Scyther. Scyther just managed to dodge. Scyther then used Double Team and 3 Scyther were suddenly on the battlefield.
Alex said "a mistake, Golbat use Wing Attack."
Golbat has bad eyes so that he can identify his enemies mainly through the use of sound waves. So the move double team is completely useless against Golbat.
Golbat flies straight to the real Scyther and hits him with a Wing Attack. It did a lot of damage to Scyther. Although he can fight, he is not allowed to receive many of these attacks.
Scyther wanted to use Roost but knew that this Golbat wouldn\'t allow that. Roost is a strong move, but only if you are protected from the attacks of the attacking Pokemon.
Scyther knew he was likely to lose, but his pride didn\'t allow him to give up just like that. his sharp scythes light up as he flies towards Golbat.
Alex saw this and said "Golbat use Wing Attack. We have no problem fighting in close combat."
Scyther is a Pokemon that is usually very strong in close combat. The reason is that it has a high attack of 110 and can use the move Fury Cutter. Fury Cutter is a very powerful move in close combat.
The problem is that the Golbat only takes 1/4 damage from bug moves. So the Scyther\'s strongest attack cannot be used. He can only try to defeat Golbat with the move wing attack.
After just 30 seconds of intense hand-to-hand combat, Scyther passed out.
Golbat was only slightly injured. So Alex doesn\'t have to use a super potion to heal it.
Scyther was very injured and Alex had to use almost a whole super potion to heal him. then he used the rest of the super potion for Golbat. Although Golbat doesn\'t need a super potion, it can make him heal faster.
Alex also gave Golbat an Energy Powder to recover his energy faster.
After 2 minutes, Scyther woke up after being healed by the Super Potion. He looked at his surroundings and was very sad that he was so weak. He thought that he would defeat Zubat without any problems, but after a day, Zubat, who had evolved, was too strong for him.
Alex said "Scyther, according to our bet, you are my Pokemon now. Welcome to the family. I know that you are very sad that you lost, but don\'t worry, I\'ll make you so strong that you will realize that it is good for you to lose here. If you don\'t believe me, look at Golbat. After a day I made him a lot stronger.
Scyther looked at Alex and said in sign language "You won. I will keep my promise but I expect you to make me a strong Pokemon."
Alex nodded seriously and took out a Pokeball. Then he lightly touched Scyther\'s head with the Pokeball. Scyther was now Alex\'s second Pokemon. He immediately took Scyther out of his Pokeball and looked at Scyther info again.
----------------------
Pokémon: Scyther
LV: 17
Attribute: Bug Flying
Abilities : Technician
Gender: Male
Potential: Silver
Moves: Leer, Quick Attack, Focus Energy, Double Team, Feint, Fury Cutter
Wing Attack, (innate talent) Roost
-----------------------
Alex thought "how should I train Scyther? All of the moves from Scyther are very useful. I don\'t know which move to focus on."
Leer can reduce a Pokemon\'s defense power.
Quick Attack can be used to evade or attack. Plus its 50% stronger because of Technician.
Focus Energy can make sure that Scyther can hit the weak spots of Pokemon more easily.
Double Team can be very useful for confusing opponents.
Feint can even hit a Pokemon that uses Protect or Detect. Plus its 50% stronger because of Technician.
Fury Cutter can defeat any Pokemon in close combat because it gets stronger with each hit. It is also 50% stronger because of Technician and is a bug move (50% STAB).
Wing Attack is Scyther\'s most powerful attack in short battles. It is also 50% stronger because of Technician and is a flying move (50% STAB).
Roost can heal Scyther and can even be used while moving (expert). Also, if you train this move to master rank, you can attack and roost at the same time. That means if Scyther doesn\'t take damage too quickly or gets too tired, he will be invincible.
(Pokemon\'s Moves mastery can be divided into three levels: beginner, expert, and master.)
Beginner: performs the move normally.
Expert: Stronger, faster, and more flexible than beginners. the Pokemon can move while it is doing the move.
Master: Stronger, faster, and more flexible than Expert. the Pokemon can use another move while using that move. He can also modify the move as he likes.
Alex thought "Besides, how should I physically train Scyther? A warrior who specializes in close combat? An assassin who quickly defeats his enemies? a mix of both? Roost and Fury Cutters are very useful for warriors. Quick Attack and Double Team are better for assassins. Fuck, should I train Scyther for both? jack of all trades is usually average. I like the specialists more. Even Pokemon have only so much energy and talent. Why be good at everything when you can be a monster in one area. OK, so assassins and warriors are the best options. Both have advantages and disadvantages. I think warriors are better because Scyther can evolve to Scizor. Although both Scizor and Scyther have the same base stats (500), Scizor has a better Pokemon-Type combination. Also, Scizor can make better use of the move roost and Scizor has a Mega Evolution. I should also ask Scyther how he likes to fight. Scyther\'s opinion is also very important. If he wants to fight like an assassin, I don\'t want to forbid it."
Alex talks to Scyther for an hour. Alex told him the best options and tells him the pros and cons of each fighting style. He explains his reasoning and asks Scyther how he would like to fight. Scyther was very happy to hear these exact options and that his trainer asked him what he thought was the best of them. Scyther explained to Alex that he would like to fight like a warrior. Scyther also said that he trusts Alex very much and that he will do his best to meet his expectations.
why asked Alex for Scyther\'s opinion? there are two reasons.
1 reason: this increases Scyther\'s trust and affection for Alex.
2nd reason: Both options have many advantages and disadvantages. Which of them was 100% better is difficult to say. It is better to let Scyther decide how he would like to fight. If you end up choosing a fighting style that Scyther doesn\'t like, it can cause unnecessary trouble.
