Pokemon: Master of tactics
Chapter 198 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 198

Alex opened his eyes and first saw someone lying next to him.

He started recalling last night and made a happy expression as he got out of bed. ​​

After Alex and Maria kissed each other, something seemed to have awakened inside them, and neither of them stopped at the kiss.

It is as if a small fire had ignited in a forest that grew so much that it was impossible to put it out.

Alex carried Maria into his bedroom and then kissed her passionately on the bed.

He had already expected that Maria would say no and end this night. But to his surprise, she started to take off his shirt and look at him with her beautiful cold blue craving eyes.

Alex did not hesitate and enjoyed that night with Maria.

(I won't go into details exactly)

(EN: This fic doesn't have the R18 tag, so you shouldn't have expected the lemons to begin with)

...

Alex went into the kitchen and saw how all his Pokémon were in there enjoying their food.

It seemed that Gardevoir had already prepared the food for the other Pokémon.

Crobat, who saw Alex enter the kitchen, looked at him with a strange look.

Alex, who saw this expression, remembered that Crobat was sleeping in front of the open window in his room. Therefore, he probably had heard the sound of Alex and Maria's night activity.

When this thought came to his mind, he made a discomfited expression as well.

Although Crobat is not human and therefore has no interest in human sex, it is still uncomfortable when Alex thought that Crobat had heard everything yesterday.

'Next time, I shouldn't forget to put Crobat in his Pokéball,' thought Alex as he started to make breakfast for himself and Maria.

Alex chose to ignore Crobat's constant staring.

After not even 5 minutes had passed, Maria came into the big kitchen with her 5 Pokémon.

Fortunately, the hotel was built spacious, so there was plenty of room for Pokémon.

also, there wasn't a very large-sized Pokémon, so everyone could stay in there even though it was getting tight.

The tallest Pokémon of Maria was Nidoqueen that was much larger than the normal one at 1.8 meters high. (Arbok is longer but takes less space)

Along with Bastiodon, these two Pokémon took the most space in the kitchen.

Alex's Pokémon and Maria's Pokémon started looking at each other first before talking to each other a bit.

Maria sat down at the table next to Alex's place and waited for breakfast without a word.

Alex gave a small smile and continued to prepare breakfast. While cooking, he also looked at the information of Maria's Pokémon.

'Hmm... Maria must have really started training hard after her defeat to me, or she wouldn't be this strong. Even if she is a little behind me,' thought Alex when he saw this information.

Alex was a bit shocked when he first saw the info of Maria's Pokémon. He really had underestimated Maria's strength a bit.

Not only did she have 2 Pokémon on the Elite level but also 2 Pokémon that were soon to reach Elite rank with their current levels 38 and 39.

In addition, the potential of each of these Pokémon was really good. Every Pokémon has at least Shallow Gold potential, and Arbok was even on the Deep Gold rank.

In addition, Maria's Gible will almost certainly exceed the Deep Gold rank in the future. And with Arbok, for whom it is not so difficult to improve her potential again, she will have another Pokémon on Shallow Diamond.

Arbok should have a better chance than Crobat or Scizor because she was born on the Shallow Gold Potential. And thus having it much easier than Crobat or Scizor to improve her potential.

Alex was also a bit surprised that Giovanni gave such a good Pokémon to Maria. But after a few seconds, he realized why.

'For all trainers, a Shallow Gold, Gold, or even Deep Gold is just an S-rank Pokémon. Giovanni couldn't have known that Gible had such good talent.'

Alex, who had already seen the potential of several Pokémon, knew how rare a Born Gold Pokémon is compared to a Born Shallow Gold.

According to his estimation, the chance of replaceing Born Gold Pokémon is 1/20th of replaceing Born Shallow Gold. This number is only in comparison to Shallow Gold and Gold without having to replace a Pokémon above the Deep Silver potential.

There was a reason that Alex only found 2 Born Gold Pokémon (without the Pokémon of trainers) after reading over 10,000 pieces of information from Pokémon.

...

Alex sat down next to Maria after he had put breakfast for herself and her on the table.

"Did you sleep well?"

Maria looked at Alex's face, and after seeing his usual expression, she said softly, "Yes, thank you."

Alex noticed how Maria was slowly getting warm, gave a grin, and began to enjoy his breakfast.

Maria and Alex talked at breakfast and had a relatively casual conversation.

After breakfast, Maria started to collect her things and brought her Pokémon back to her Pokéballs.

Alex, who saw this, showed a slightly confused expression.

Maria looked at Alex and said without changing her face, "I still want to fly to this island to train my Pokémon better, so I have to go now."

After that, her face slightly blushed as she spoke, "Just to be sure. You know we're together now, don't you?"

Alex, who saw this cute expression from Maria, started to chuckle slightly with a smile. Seeing contrast in Maria's cold eyes and Maria's personality, he couldn't do anything other than laughing.

When he noticed that Maria's eyes were getting colder and sharper, he stopped laughing. "Sorry, you looked so cute that I couldn't do anything else."

Then he went in front of Maria, gave her a goodbye kiss, and said, "Of course, we are together."

Then he started speaking in a joking tone, "Do you think you can just run away after using my body? I'm not an easy man."

Maria gave a small smile as she said, "I'm starting to question my decision after hearing that awful joke."

Alex smiled and said nothing as he watched Maria open the door.

After Maria had opened the door, she looked at Alex and said with a killing expression, "If you cheat, I'll tear your piece off."

Alex just smiled when he heard that. "Haha, I love you too, Maria."

Maria showed a small smile and started walking out of the room.

-----

[AN]: A bit of a shame that it is not chapter 200. Haha, but have fun with this relatively large chapter.

[EN]: Not gonna lie, I didn't expect that they will go that far. I imagined that it would end with just a kiss. I thought that Author-sama will take his sweet time before we get this.
