Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 157

Magmar silently looked at his subordinate's state, and only after a few seconds, he spoke.

"Ok, heal my subordinate, and you can go."

Alex, who heard this, looked at Gardevoir and walked towards Magmar.

Eevee, who had a few injuries, used [Rest] and didn't wait for Alex to heal her. Alex had told her several times that it would be better if she used this healing move to heal. This way, she won't need to explicitly train it.

Alex saw that the Magmar leader kept his word and did not attack him, so he began to heal Magmar.

Magmar's subordinate woke up after a few minutes and looked at the surroundings in a bewildered manner.

The Magmar leader said, "We're leaving," and started walking away as his two subordinates followed him nimbly.

Alex waited until Eevee woke up and started walking with his group through the forest.

After several hours of walking, Alex and his Pokémon were near the forest's end close to Vermilion City.

On the way, they met a couple of Pokémon, but almost none of these Pokémon had a potential worth catching for Alex. He was only able to capture 2 Silver Pokémon that tried to attack him.

Fortunately, he didn't come across any other strong Pokémon and was able to get through the forest relatively smoothly.

Although he was attacked at times, there was no Elite Pokémon among them, so Alex's group was never in real danger.

Alex started to put all of his Pokémon except Gardevoir, Crobat, and Scizor in his Pokéball and walked through the city entrance.

There are Pokémon that could have a negative impact on the city if they were taken out. So in the city, trainers are not allowed to take out some specific Pokémon species. There is a list released by the Alliance mentioning the banned species.

The reasons for the ban are not always the same. Some Pokémon are not allowed to enter because of theirs size, like Wailord; some for smell, like Muk, etc.

In addition, a trainer who does not have a high status in the Alliance can not enter the city with more than 3 Pokémon.

Alex, who entered the city with his 3 Pokémon, went to a hotel to stay overnight. He has to catch a ship the next day, so he wanted to rest well. As far as he knows, the ship will sell the tickets very early and leave shortly afterward. Although the tickets can also be ordered, you have to be a high-ranking person in the Alliance and have certain connections.

Fortunately, Alex knows Professor Wälhder, who has promised to transfer the ticket today. He had the feeling that the Professor really appreciated him and was ready to help him a little now and then.

Alex remembers from his conversations with Professor Wälhder that Professor was also a trainer who worked his way up from an ordinary family and was not born with a golden spoon. Maybe that was one of the reasons why he appreciated Alex so much.

...

Alex and his Pokémon entered the hotel room that Alex had booked and, as always, began to go into their usual routine.

At this moment, Alex started thinking about the promise he had given Gardevoir when she was Ralts.

Alex had not forgotten the promise to bring Gardevoir to her mother and knew that he could not delay it any longer. The ship would leave the next day, so he had to tell the truth to Gardevoir today.

"Hmm, I think I should redeem my promised today and bring Gardevoir to her mother. After all, I promised it."

Then he got a bit sad when he thought about the reaction of Gardevoir. He thought, "Should I delay it?"

"Fck! It makes no sense to delay it further. Besides, I promised her. Now I can only hope that she takes it better than I imagined."

Although he felt nothing for Gardevoir's mother, he felt very reluctant about the grief that Gardevoir was about to experience.

"It's... really tough to be a father."

Alex's Pokémon, especially Gardevoir, noticed that Alex's mood was getting worse as he sat on the sofa thinking about something.

Gardevoir, who could feel these feelings best, went near her father with a worried face.

"Father, what's going on? Why are you in such a bad mood all of a sudden?"

Alex, who heard this, felt even worse as he said, "G-Gardevoir... It's about the promise I gave you. I'm going to take you to your mother today."

Gardevoir, who heard her father stutter for the first time, began to look very worried.

Alex, who didn't know what else to say, began to look wordlessly in the direction of the Gardevoir.

Although Alex knew that he would make Gardevoir worried if he behaved like that, he just can't hide his emotion from Gadevoir even if he wants to.

This time he wished that the Gardevoir couldn't sense his emotions.

Alex looked at the blank looks of Crobat and Scizor and the curious looks of the other Pokémon.

"We'll all go there together."

In comparison to the other Pokémon, Crobat and Scizor did not show a happy expression but a somber one instead.

Gardevoir, who felt Alex, Crobat, and Scizor's mood was getting more and more anxious, had a very uneasy feeling. Even though she sensed so, she didn't want to start thinking about it.

Alex called all of his Pokémon except Gardevoir back to his Pokéballs and said solemnly, "Gardevoir, teleport us to Pewter City."

"Father, it's too far. I can't teleport this far. I can teleport to Celadon City at most."

Alex, who knew that Gardevoir's range had increased significantly, thought that she could now teleport that far, but it looks like that is not the case.

"Hmm, maybe only when she is on the Elite rank can she teleport all over Kanto," he thought.

Alex thought for a few seconds and said, "Can you teleport to Celadon City first and then to Pewter City. This range should be ok."

Gardevoir nodded and said, "Yes, that is possible. Although we have to wait a few minutes in Celadon City before I can teleport that far again."

Alex, who heard that it only took a few minutes, showed no expression when he said, "Let's go."

...

After Alex and Gardevoir waited 10 minutes in Celadon City, they teleported to Pewter City.
