Chapter 179 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 179
The Pokémon egg slowly started to break from the inside. And after a few seconds, there was a cute Vulpix with beautiful blue eyes and a curious look.
This Vulpix was different from her mother such that it was white in color and not yellow-orange like her mother.
"Alolan Vulpix? How is this possible? In any case (except Legendary), the species is inherited from the mother of the child, so it should not be possible."
Alex stopped thinking and gently took Vulpix in his arms when he saw it looking around fearfully.
Then he started saying in a very calm and warm voice, "Don't worry, Vulpix. You are safe here."
Vulpix looked at Alex for a few seconds and slowly began to close her eyes while staying comfortably in his arms.
Alex took a chair and sat down with the adorable sleeping Vulpix.
Alex's other Pokémon started to look closely at Vulpix when they realized that she was asleep.
They wanted to take a closer look at their new sister.
Crobat was startled as a sudden realization hit him.
"Wait a minute, I just noticed that we now have more female Pokémon than male Pokémon."
Bastiodon nodded with agreement.
"Yes, you are right, brother Crobat. The last three family members have been female. This is really a weird coincidence."
Crobat retorted, "Coincidence? I don't think so. If something happens 3 times in a row, it is not a coincidence. I'm sure that our trainer chooses female Pokémon on purpose." [EN: it's the author :p ]
Ditto had a confused expression when he said, "Hm? But why would he do that? It doesn't make any difference."
Crobat said solemnly with a slightly arrogant tone, "As a Genderless Pokémon, you can't understand that."
Scizor, who was listening in all the time, couldn't bear the arrogant front of Crobat anymore as he said, "Shut up, you fat-bat! Just because Ditto doesn't understand your twisted opinion doesn't mean he can't understand the difference between genders."
Gardevoir, who overheard the whole conversation, looked in the direction of Eevee and said in a funny tone, "Haha, looks like big brother Crobat has something against us getting a new sister."
Eevee said with a smirk, "Hehe, honestly, it's a bit funny. We all know that brother Crobat would like a new sister more anyway and is just playing hard."
Gardevoir nodded and said, "Yes, you are not wrong. Father, Crobat, and Scizor are very similar in this case."
Eevee began to say, with a confused expression, "What about brother Bastiodon? He's like that too, right?"
Gardevoir said with a mischievous smile, "Well, not entirely. Little brother Bastidon doesn't play hard."
Then she looked at Bastiodon, who was playing with Combusken and had a sweet smile the whole time.
Eevee looked at Bastidon and said, "You know, it's impressive how cute he can be even as an Elite Pokémon."
Meanwhile, Crobat and Scizor had started their bickering.
Crobat looked angry as he said, "What did you call me, you grill tongs? Do you want me to knock you down again?"
Scizor smiled as he said, "Hoh... You mean in this little space where you can barely run away? Come on, let's fight and see if you have a chance without being able to run away."
Crobat, who knew that this statement was true, said in reply, "It was clear that you can only win if the field is to your advantage."
Alex, who overheard this conversation, had enough of it as he said in a low but threatening voice, "Scizor, Crobat, go to training and don't bother Vulpix. If she wakes up because of you, I'll make your life hell for the next three days."
Scizor and Crobat knew that Alex would really do this and started to go for training without uttering a word.
Alex saw that it was quiet again and began to look at the information of Vulpix.
--------------------------
Pokémon: Alolan Vulpix
LV: 1
Type: Ice
Ability: Snow Cloak
Gender: Female
Potential: Gold
Moves:
- Powder Snow (unusable)
- (Innate Talent) Hex (unusable), (Innate Talent) Howl (unusable), (Innate Talent) Blizzard (unusable)
---------------------------
Alex was already starting to think about the role of Vulpix in his team.
Ninetales has very balanced base stats, with each number being at least 70 and different types of moves. She also has two good properties, namely, Speed on 100 and Sp. Def on 100.
Plus, she has some really great Innate Talent moves like [Howl], which will be very useful in team battles.
Combined with powerful Innate Talent attacking moves like [Hex] and [Blizzard], Vulpix will become a very balanced Pokémon.
Alex had the feeling that the word all-rounder goes very well with this Vulpix.
"Gold!! Wow, even Torchic was only born with a Shallow Gold talent. It's a shame that it only has one evolution. Otherwise, it wouldn't be that difficult to get it to the Diamond rank." (Presumably. Alex can only guess how difficult it is to improve the potential there)
"Hmm, if I get Vulpix on the Deep Gold rank with items, it shouldn't be difficult to get her to the Shallow Diamond with a Top-Ice Stone. Unfortunately, I'm the only one who knows about the exact potential of Pokémon, so Steven's experience doesn't help much."
In this world, trainers do not know the difference between a Shallow Gold, Gold, and Deep Gold Pokémon. Each of these Pokémon is an S-rank Pokémon for all other trainers like Steven.
Thus, many trainers think that it is by luck that some S-rank Pokémon reaches the SS-rank despite having fewer items and evolution forms.
There are even cases where a rich man has spent more than 100 million on items to get his Pokémon on the SS-rank but ends up without any success.
This example shows Alex that he should only give his Pokémon the best items and the right items at the right moment. Or else, it will make progress more difficult for his Pokémon.
In this world, Alex is probably the only trainer who best understands how the talent of a Pokémon works, which is a ridiculous advantage. Although he has to find out most of the information himself, it's not a real disadvantage for Alex.
