Pokemon: Master Of Tactics Chapter 168
Advertisement
Jasmine healed Steelix and then went to Alex. She said with a restrained smile, "Good fight, Alex. I learned a lot from this fight."
Alex gave a 'friendly' smile when he said, "Yeah, this was really a good fight. I'm glad you can see the outcome of the fight in a positive light."
Jasmine's smile became slightly bitter.
"I'm actually still a little bit shocked. I knew my tactics skills were bad, but I didn't think that tactics could make such a big difference."
"Hmm, that depends. Sometimes making various decisions can be easier because of the tactics you have chosen. If your opponent doesn't have the correct counter for your tactics, he will only be walking towards his own defeat. I can tell you in more detail about it if you are interested."
Jasmine's face immediately became bright when she heard that. She said excitedly, "Really?? That would be really great!!!"
Alex slowly began to teach Jasmine the basics of using and learning tactics.
Though it doesn't give him any immediate advantages, Alex thinks that this action will later help him a lot. Giving a favor to a Gym leader and building a positive relationship can only be a great benefit. Although Alex doesn't need this desperately because he already has a good relationship with Steven, it's not bad to build more relationships with a more powerful person.
Alex told her the most essential basics to make an effective and suitable tactic for her Pokémon. He also explains to her that it is important to always have plans B & C ready. There were lots of things to consider. Alex felt that he could talk about it for hours. But because of the time constraint, he only taught basics.
Jasmine, who had heard so much unique knowledge from Alex for 30 minutes, now had a look full of respect towards Alex.

"I can now understand how you defeated two Elite trainers without an Elite Pokémon. I learned a lot from you today. Thank you very much, Alex."
Alex showed his trademark fake smile as he said, "No problem. We're half friends already. Haha!"
Jasmine nodded sincerely and thanked Alex again. Afterward, she asked if Alex has time for more fights tomorrow.
Alex nodded and realized that it was time for his Pokémon to eat.
He and Jasmine separated for today and went to their own rooms.
After entering the room, Alex started preparing food for his Pokémon while thinking about the practice fights. To be honest, he was a bit disappointed that Jasmine was so clumsy. But he knew that she will be a really strong trainer in the future. Not to mention, she is 3 years younger than him, so it is understandable.
The fact that she is an Elite trainer at this age is already a very remarkable feat. She is younger than Misty and still only a little weaker than her, which really shows her potential.
Especially her Steelix is an extremely powerful Pokémon if used correctly.
...
During the ride, Alex and Jasmine trained together again and let their Pokémon compete against each other.
There fought many battles, but Alex won almost all of them.
-----------------
All the fights:
-----------------
Magnemite v/s Combusken: Jasmine wanted Magnemite to fight Combuken at least once. Because Combusken is too strong, Alex suggested that Combusken couldn't use a Fire-Type move in this fight. Because of this condition, it was a very close fight.
In the end, Combusken was able to just win by using the double kick, even though she was knocked almost unconscious.
----------------------------
Magneton v/s Eevee: This fight was relatively equal. Eevee appeared stronger than Magneton, but because of her bad HP and Sp. Def, it was a very close fight. Especially because Eevee has no attack move on the Expert rank while Magneton has [Thunderbolt] on the Expert rank.

In the end, Magneton was able to win when Eevee was paralyzed and too slow to reach Magneton. She used [Rest], but because it's not on the Expert rank, she couldn't wake up early and was defeated.
----------------------------
Skarmory v/s Ditto: This fight was decided relatively quickly for Ditto, who easily won thanks to Alex's tactics and its level difference. Even though Ditto transformed into Skarmory and had no Expert rank moves, it still won relatively easily.
After Ditto used [Taunt], Skarmory could only use the utility move [Taunt], that is on the Expert rank, and no longer use the important moves like [Swords Dance], [Roost], etc.
----------------------------
Steelix v/s: Scizor: This fight was very balanced because Jasmine used tactics better this time and didn't fall into Alex's traps so easily. Although Alex still had a tactical advantage, he didn't try his best and gave Jasmine a chance to win this fight.
In the end, Scizor was able to win this tough fight. [Brick Break] and [Roost] on the Expert rank made it possible for Scizor to narrowly snatch this victory. Also, using [Leer] at the beginning helped Scizor well in this fight.
-----------------
40 hours later, in the Slateport City harbor, the ship had finally arrived.
Alex saw that he was finally in Slateport City and couldn't help but show a relieved smile. He looked at Jasmine, who was standing next to him, and said, "After a 2-hour of delay, we are finally here."
Jasmine, who was a bit unhappy with Alex, smiled and said, "You are right. The delay was really a bit annoying."
"Ah, don't tell me that we haven't even exchanged our contacts yet. Wait, I'll give you my number."
Alex and Jasmine exchanged numbers and then went their separate ways.
Jasmine, who had just entered the city, received a sudden call.
She looked at the number, and her lips turned into a huge smile when she saw the number. Jasmine took the call and said, "Janine, it's good that you called. I just met a really nice person. Really..."

Yagacore: The Dungeon that Walks Like a Man
The Dungeon System is breaking. Now the mutant cores will rise. Zaria was just a normal woman, living a simple life, right up until demons burst down her door and ate her heart. Normally that would be the end of the story, but Zaria was reborn as a dungeon core. Except nothing is normal for her. Due to instability throughout the universe, Dungeon Core generation is experiencing some unique bugs and glitches. Most of these mutant cores just explode after only a few hours of life. Zaria is one of those cores. Luckily for her, there’s a way to prevent her detonation - she must find and form a bond with a human witch to create a striga. Only then will she be stable enough to survive. Normally, this would be a death sentence anyway, but Zaria’s mutation gives her an ability no other dungeon core has had before: Legs. Now a walking house, Zaria sets off to find her striga, fight demons and monsters, build up a dungeon worthy of being run by the greatest heroes in the lands…and feed the insatiable appetite of her mimic mobs. Life sure isn’t simple anymore.From the author of Dinosaur Dungeon, Factory of the Gods, and others! Plus part of the same universe as those books as well as Roots and Steel and Block Dungeon!

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
