Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 341

Scizor doesn't waste time after he successfully dodges this dangerous move and Scizor used [Bullet punch] almost immediately after that.

His goal was not Arcanine but the other side of the arena.

He uses this move to build up a distance between him and Arcanine again.

Arcanine, who noticed that Scizor was out of range again, looked at his trainer, who hadn't given him a new order yet.

Gary started waking up when he saw his Pokemon give him a confused expression.

"Arcanine run in range again. Also, prepare [Heat Wave] again when you run. Don't worry he shouldn't have any more moves like [Bullet punch] or [Quick Attack]."

Alex had an emotionless expression but he knew that Gary was right about what he said and that Scizor can't really dodge Arcanine's next attack.

Unfortunately, Scizor was at too much of a disadvantage against Arcanine, so that Scizor can't do much against Arcanine. even with this tactic.

Arcanine is faster than Scizor and would still be faster than a Scizor that had successfully used [Agility] once. Also, Scizor needs to be in melee-range for his strongest move. making it very easy for Arcanine to hit Scizor successfully.

Scizor still showed a calm expression as he prepared his next move.

Arcanine ran as fast as he could to get within range of [Heat Wave], but he took longer than Scizor, who only need to prepare his move.

Scizor used [Aerial Ace] and the move tracked Arcanine like a guided missile. Arcanine didn't try to dodge either so that the move hit him with a problem.

Alex said telepathically, "Scizor, don't prepare a new move and get ready to use [Protect]."

Arcanine suffered a small wound from the hit, but it didn't seem that he suffered much damage. Alex would estimate it to be between 10 and 15%.

It's not a lot of damage, but in Alex's mind, that damage and [Sandstrom] was the reward for Scizor and his effort.

It didn't take Arcanine much longer to get within range of his move. He uses [Heat Wave] almost immediately after he gets in range.

Scizor was ready for that moment and he used [Protect] and successfully blocked almost all of the damage. He only takes 10% damage, bringing his HP to 60 or 70%.

If [Protect] is not used against moves from a Pokemon with a large level advantage or against strong moves on the master rank, the stability of [Protect] is not bad.

Scizor or Arcanine immediately began preparing a new move even though none of their trainers said a word.

Alex was a bit surprised when Arcanine suddenly prepared a move without Gary's orders.

It seems that Gary also trains his Pokemon to think independently and incorporates this into his tactics. Even if it has only been minimally developed and has not been developed to its full potential.

Scizor, who was running away all the time, started running towards Arcanine for the first time as he was preparing his move.

Arcanine didn't expect Scizor to suddenly run straight towards him and didn't react for a moment.

both Pokemon were already relatively close to each other ([Heat Wave] range) and Scizor doesn't take more than a moment to get extremely close.

When Arcanine started to run away from Scizor's melee range, he found that his move was almost complete and that running away now makes no sense.

Most melee moves give the Pokemon a short speed buff when they use them so that Arcanine can't outrun Scizor's attack at that range. it was too late.

Scizor used [Giga Impact] and slammed his whole body into Arcanine as he was simultaneously hit by [Heat Wave].

Arcanine suffered a serious injury and lost around 35% of HP from just that 1 hit.

together with the damage from the [Sandstrom] and [Aerial Ace], Arcanine only had a little over 40% of its HP left.

By comparison, Scizor could not stand the extreme heat and fell to the ground, unconscious.

However, Alex showed a proud expression as he went to Scizor to heal his Pokemon. The fact that Scizor can do so much damage against Arcanine is, in Alex's opinion, a victory in itself.

The judge said with a first expression, "Competitor Alex, please call your next Pokemon within 30 seconds."

But Alex didn't say anything and just looked at the referee who was looking at his watch.

When there were only 10 seconds left, the referee started counting down as he indicated the number of seconds with his finger.

Only after only 2 seconds were left did Alex summon his next Pokemon.

Gary understood that Alex was doing this to make Arcanine take more damage from [Sandstrom] but he couldn't help but show a slightly angry expression as he saw Arcanine's expression worsen.

but he didn't say anything to Alex and just looked at the Pokemon that Alex summoned.

"3,2,1,Go"

Bastiodon immediately began preparing a move without saying a word.

Gary quickly said, "Arcanine use [Sunny Day], so stay away from Bastiodon"

Alex thought, 'a smart choice. But too predictable.'

Bastiodon didn't move, however, and he began to prepare his move.

He finished sooner than Arcanine and Bastiodon successfully used [Rock Polish], which greatly increases his speed.

Although he was still slower than Arcanine, he would only need to use it once more to have the same speed as Arcanine.

Gary thought with a slightly surprised expression, 'A master rank move? and also such a strong move on the master rank. fortunately, this Pokemon Species is not fast, so it has to be used this Move more than once to get anywhere near the same speed as my Arcanine.'

Bastiodon started preparing [Rock Polish] again but at the same time started blasting away from Arcanine.

With both Pokemon running away from each other, the distance just got bigger and bigger.
