Pokemon: Master of tactics
Chapter 137 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 137

A young man in a black tuxedo was slowly walking on the streets of Celadon City.

After 10 minutes, the young man came in front of a building that looked like a high-grade theater. ​ ​

Professor Wälhder looked at the young man and slowly walked towards him. Behind the old man were Misty and Junichi, who followed after him.

"Alex, there you are. You are almost too late."

"I'm sorry, Professor, I had a problem getting dressed up."

Professor Wälhder started laughing. "Haha, I can understand that. I always liked cozy clothes more."

Alex, who saw how Professor Wählder was wearing his usual clothes, knew that he wasn't lying.

Misty and Junichi also greeted Alex, but with an almost expressionless face. Though you could replace a hint of embarrassment on their faces. So Alex was sure that the two of them didn't really like him. Not that it was any hard to figure out why.

Alex ignored the embarrassed faces as he greeted them with a smile. Since he is a sore loser himself, he can understand the thoughts of both of them.

The Professor, who noticed that the atmosphere was getting strange, spoke loudly, "Ok. We better not waste any more time and go in quickly. We are already very late."

The three of them started following the Professor as he led them through the grand entrance.

While walking, Alex asked, "Professor, what kind of auction is this? I couldn't replace any information about this auction."

"Well, that's normal. Only 50 people can take part in this auction each time, so only the most influential people from Kanto get an invitation."

Alex thought for a moment and then asked, "Professor, if it's so difficult to be able to participate in this auction, why can we participate here?"

Professor Wälhder showed a serious expression when he said, "This is a complicated topic. But let me make it quick and easy. To roughly speak, the Alliance puts great importance on the most talented trainer rookies of the year."

Junichi, who had been listening so far, couldn't help but ask, "Professor, can you tell us why we are so important in the Alliance?"

Professor Wälhder showed a thoughtful expression when he said, "Ok, it's not like I'm not allowed to talk about it."

"Although the Alliance looks very peaceful outside, it is not like that in reality. The Alliance is divided into 7 parts. Kanto Alliance, Johto Alliance, and so on. Each of these Alliance branches competes 'peacefully' with one another."

Professor waited for a short time before continuing. "In the normal case, in this peaceful competition, they compare the Elite Four and the Champion, who represents their respective regions. I think you should now understand a little better why the whole Alliance of each region values their talented trainers so much."

Junichi and Alex both looked slightly surprised as they thought more about the Alliance. In comparison, Misty showed no surprise as it looked like she already knew this information.

Professor Wälhder and the three young trainers came in front of the auction hall entrance.

In front of the entrance, there were several Bodyguards together with their powerful Elite Pokémon. With such a large number of securities, it was almost impossible to defeat these trainers in a short time.

Professor Wälhder showed some papers, and the Bodyguard began to look through them carefully.

After the Bodyguard confirmed that the papers were correct, he pulled a suitcase from a Pokédex and immediately gave to the Professor.

Professor Wälhder took the suitcase and began to lead Alex, Misty, and Junichi into the building.

The place was reminiscent of a large opera house.

There were grandstands filled with hundreds of seats divided into 5 levels. Each of these levels had 10 separate boxes, and there were 10 seats per box. Also, there were 3 chandeliers decorated with various jewels, hundreds of lights, with small figures of singing boys and dancing girls. All of these things together created a classical atmosphere.

Now the auction was waiting for the last guests to arrive before starting.

Professor Wälhder, Misty, Junichi, and Alex went into the box with the number 50.

Alex noticed 6 boxes located on the 5th floor of the hall.

In the first 4 boxes, there was a Gym leader sitting inside. And you could replace an Elite Four member sitting in the last two boxes.

Brock, Sabrina, Erika, and Lt. Surge were the Gym leaders Alex saw. Together with Lance and Bruno, this building was full of strong trainers.

"Professor Wälhder, why are only half of the Elite four and Gym leaders here when this is such an important event? Don't the others want these valuable items too?"

"Haha! Alex, that's not how it is. It's a rule that no more than half of the Elite Four and the Gym manager can participate in an event."

Alex asked the next moment, "For security reasons?"

Professor smiled brightly seeing that Alex could guess the reason instantly. "Yes, you're right. I don't have to explain why it's such a bad idea to keep all your strongest trainer in one place for a long time, right?"

Misty, Alex, and Junichi understood without explaining why that was the case.

After a minute, lights started to gather on the stage. Soon a woman in a beautiful red dress appeared from backstage.

"Dear guests, thank you for waiting! My name is Klee, and I am your host for today's auction."

Klee is the daughter of the owner of the biggest Pokémon Items industry chain in Kanto. And therefore, she is a very influential person in the Alliance. Because of her position and her beautiful face, she was chosen for this event.

"Many of you have already attended this event, but I will formally say it again. This is a place where you can buy the most valuable and rare items. A festival held once per year for you and your Pokémon to get your heart's most desired Item. Now, let me introduce the first auction product of this year."

At the same time, nearly a dozen beautiful women emerged from the right side of the stage. They were moving a huge wheeled cage with a Pokémon inside it.

"We had a lot of worries. What would be best to start the auction? There are 100 products, but what is the most outstanding starter other than this?"

She started speaking out loud as the Pokémon became visible to all participants.

"A Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon with a talent of rank S."

Alex, who saw this Pokémon, couldn't help but inhale a deep breath full of greed.
