Pokemon: Master of tactics
Chapter 206 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 206

Alex started releasing his Pokémon except for Shuppet and Vulpix from the Pokéballs as he carefully observed Butterfree.

Butterfree had also noticed Alex and his Pokémon and looked at them with watchful eyes. ​​

She was on instant alert when she saw that the opposite party had 5 Elite Pokémon on their side. She wanted to escape, but after replaceing that Crobat had locked his vision onto her with his keen eyes, she knew that she had no chance to outrun this fast Pokémon. The instant she tries to flee, he will attack her.

Alex observed that Butterfree had noticed them and picked up his already very slow speed a bit to approach this Pokémon safely as soon as possible.

Butterfree was on her toes when she saw that Alex's group was not stopping.

"Human, please don't come any closer," Butterfree said with a pleading tone when she saw that Alex's group was too close for her to feel secure.

Alex began to feel a bit uncomfortable as he heard these words.

Butterfree is one of the most peaceful and kindest species out there. This Pokémon never attacks Pokémon or people unless you push into a corner, and there are even cases where this Pokémon saves wounded Pokémon or people.

Alex has only bought Pokémon that were already caught or captured those who had chosen to attack him.

Especially when he saw that LV 32 Butterfree was a male realized that these Pokémon were most likely life partners. He felt a bit bad as he knew that they will be separated after being sold.

Alex felt confused for the first time about one of his decisions in this world. The rational mind was speaking that it was very worthwhile to catch these Pokémon, but his heart was wavering.

He looked at Butterfree, and after a few seconds, spoke with an unwavering voice. "Butterfree, I know that your potential is high, and because of that, I want to catch you and sell you for a high price. But if you can give me something worth as much as you in exchange, I'll let you go."

Alex didn't know exactly why he said that, but he just wanted to see if he could choose a different path than before and make the decision easier.

"Human," Butterfree looked at Alex's hesitant expression as she said, "I noticed that you really don't want to do it... Can't you just let me and my partner live in peace?"

"No, that is not possible," Alex showed a stern expression as he spoke with a freezing-cold tone, "If I sell you, I can make my family members stronger, and thus my family and I will have a better chance of surviving in the future."

Although his conscience troubled Alex, he didn't let that affect his decision-making.

If he doesn't have a better option, he'll go through with what his logical mind says without hesitation. Alex could kill people if he thought it benefits him, so he was also ready to slave innocent Pokémon if it is valuable.

For Alex, only his family, girlfriend, and genuine friends are the ones whom he doesn't see as potential tools to take advantage of.

In the beginning, he didn't want to catch innocent Pokémon either. But Alex realized that he would still do it if it could bring enough benefits for him and his family.

Butterfree looked at Alex for a few moments and said, "Will you promise me that will let us go after I give you my treasure?"

She didn't trust humans and would normally rather die fighting them. But when she thought about her life partner and future children, she fended off such thoughts.

Even if the chance of this human following his promise was low, she wanted to give it a try.

Alex was astonished that Butterfree was ready to give up her treasure or that she had it at all, in the first place.

He showed a sincere face as he said, "I promise you that if your treasures are at least as valuable as you, then I will let you and your life partner go."

Butterfree was still a little unsure, but after seeing Gardevoir's look, she felt that this person was telling the truth.

She showed a bit relaxed expression.

"Follow me."

Alex told his Pokémon to be vigilant via [Telepathy] as he started following this Butterfree.

After not even 3 minutes, Alex's group came in front of a giant tree with several Butterfree sitting on its massive branches.

These Butterfree weren't strong enough to be a threat to Alex's group.

There were only 13 Butterfree with levels between 15 and 29 on this tree, so there was no reason for Alex to fear them.

But even if that was the case, Alex kept a distance from the tree to prevent unexpected attacks while waiting.

Elite Butterfree noticed this and went into a hollow opening of the tree, leaving Alex behind.

After a while, she and several other Butterfree came out carrying several items in front of Alex.

Alex saw many different items with vast differences in value. Some things were worthless, and some were very valuable.

He started to put all items of interest in one place.

1x Everstone

8x Low-Leaf stone

2x Mid-Leaf Stone

1x High-Leaf stone

1x Top-Leaf Stone

3x Dragon Fang

Alex couldn't help but be surprised that the Butterfree had a valuable item like [Dragon Fang], plus not only one but three [Dragon Fang].

[Dragon Fang] is an item that is very rare because it can only be found from a corpse of a Dragon-Type Pokémon in its final evolution stage.

Dragon-Type Pokémon are known to be rare and take a long time to reach their final form, so you can just imagine how difficult this item is to get. Especially since you still have to kill the Dragon-type Pokémon.

1 [Dragon Fang] alone is worth at least 40 million and can even be sold for 50 million.

Alex, who had just hit the jackpot, wore a grin on his face. He forgot all about Butterfree as he started putting these items in his TRH device.

Butterfree looked nervous as she wasn't sure what would happen next.

Alex looked in the direction of Butterfree and said with a smile, "I am very happy with the item you gave me, so just as I said, I will keep my part of the bargain. But..."

Butterfree's face turned serious as she interrupted Alex, complaining, "But what?"

Alex continued to smile as he pulled several bags of high-quality Pokémon food of Scizor out of his TRH device and placed them in front of Butterfree.

He gave a light smile and said, "A bonus for you all."

Then he happily started leaving this place with his Pokémon.

Although he had thought about catching Butterfree anyway, he now felt very uncomfortable doing it.

'At a certain point in time, greed is also a weak point,' thought Alex as he slowly left this place.

Gardevoir, who saw Alex handling this situation, had only one thought, 'And father says he's a monster. What nonsense!'
