Alex, along with Steven, noticed that Scizor was showing an annoyed expression when both happened to glance in their direction.

Scizor had an expression like, "Can you finally stop talking and start this fight." ​​

Steven, who also saw that his Metagross was similar to Scizor, also stopped talking.

Both Alex and Steven showed an understandable look to each other and moved towards the opposite ends of the battlefield, protected by the protective shield.

Although the physics of people in this world is better compared to Alex's world, it is not like they will be fine after being hit by an Elite Pokémon's attack. And it may even kill you if it hits a critical place like the head.

Alex, who saw the excitement of Scizor, couldn't help but think, "Why are you so excited to get beaten up? Do you really think that you can win just because I have good tactics? Or do you think that you are not much weaker?"

7 levels may not look like much, but it's a big difference. Along with a move on Master rank, Alex never believed for a second that Scizor had any chance to win.

He also didn't have any specific good tactic against this monster.

His old good two Scizor's tactics are also entirely futile.

Metagross will easily defeat Scizor before he can reinforce himself. And [Sandstrom]'s hiding tactic is totally pointless against a Psychic-type Pokémon.

Steven saw that Alex was ready and started the count down.

"3,2,1, START!"

Alex and Steven started giving their commands at the same time.

"Scizor, jump in the air to glide."

"Metagross, use Earthquake."

Steven, who heard Alex's command, showed a surprised expression, but it didn't affect his confident face.

Scizor, who can't really fly due to his weight and also because he's lost his Flying-type, can still glide.

Unfortunately, Alex knows from experience that an [Earthquake] can be used for a long time after reaching the Expert Rank. So, in the end, he is only delaying the inevitable. Also, the fact that Scizor doesn't have a good non-melee move except [Roost] doesn't help.

Metagross started using [Earthquake], and the ground started shaking.

"Metagross, while you keep Earthquake, start preparing Psychic."

Alex saw how Metagross kept his [Earthquake] while preparing for his next move, showed a grave expression.

Master rank moves are really special.

When Steven saw the Metagross almost finished preparing [Psychic], he smiled and said, "Metagross, use Psychic to knock Scizor off the ground."

"Scizor, use Protect and then glide towards Metagroos and start preparing Brick Break."

Metagross used [Psychic] and hit against Scizor's [Protect] shield.

Scizor's shield lasted only for a second before it began to break.

After the shield broke, the rest of the power of Metagross's [Psychic] hit Scizor. Scizor was struck and knocked to the ground after being hit by Metagross's [Psychic].

Scizor fell to the ground and was only 5 meters from Metagross's [Earthquake]. He had passed out immediately after the hit, and you could find blood coming out of his mouth.

Alex knew that [Earthquake] would do more damage the more near the user is. But he didn't think that Scizor would be defeated by 1 hit.

But after a few seconds of thinking, he thought that it actually made a lot of sense.

The damage received from a Master rank [Earthquake] of an Elite Pokémon that has the advantage very high level, along with the maximum damage retained in the attack, should not be undervalued.

Alex quickly went to Scizor and started healing him with a [Hyper potion].

After he healed Scizor, he called him back to the Pokéball and started thinking about what to do next.

After a few seconds of thinking, Alex said to Steven, "Steven, I don't have a Pokémon that is anywhere near as strong as your Metagross, so I'll give up this fight. But we can still continue the training fight. I would recommend that you let another Pokémon fight which is less strong than Metagross."

Steven, hearing that he won, had a lively expression when he said, "Good fight, Alex. Even though you lost, I'm not really that strong. Although my Metagross is really strong, I only have 2 Elite Pokémon. And my second Elite Pokémon is not that strong like my Metagross."

"You really only have two Elite Pokémon? Hmm, but it doesn't matter much. With this monster like Metagross, I don't think you can lose. Let's go on."

Steven and Alex released their next Pokémon.

Crobat and Skarmory appeared on the battlefield at the same time and began to move into position.

----------------------

Pokémon: Skarmory

LV: 43

Type: Flying/Steel

Ability: Keen Eye

Gender: Male

Potential: Shallow Diamond

Moves:

- Leer, Peck, Sand Attack, Metal Claw, Air Cutter, Fury Attack, Feint, Swift, Spikes, Agility, Steel Wing, Slash, Metal Sound

- (Perfect Talent) Taunt [E], (Perfect Talent) Sky Attack [E]

- (TM) Toxic, (TM) Roost, (TM) Flash Cannon, (TM) Substitute, (TM) Facade, (TM) Swords Dance, (TM) Fly, (TM) X-Scissor (TM) Sandstorm

----------------------

Alex, who saw this information, couldn't help but ease up a little.

It was only 3 levels higher and had no Master rank move. It doesn't seem to have trained his two Perfect Talent moves long, so he's not completely ridiculously strong for now.

"Hmm, this will be a relatively easy fight. If Steven didn't have this Metagross, I would have probably won a 3 v/s 3."

3 minutes later, Steven, who was completely outplayed by Alex, looked at his unconscious Pokémon.

Although Steven lost, he lost because of the simple tactic of this world, which annoyed him a bit.

Alex's tactic in this fight was simply to use the Crobat's [Shadow Ball] and stay out of range of Skarmory's close combat.

Steven saw this quickly and gave Skarmory the order to use [Agility] 2 times to become as fast as Crobat. But during this time, Skarmory had already taken a lot of damage thanks to his mediocre HP and Sp. Def.

After that, Alex let Crobat continue to use [Shadow Ball] and made it a fight of knocking down the opponent unconscious first.

Unsurprisingly, Crobat won the fight.

Alex took advantage of Steven's confusion and Skarmory's weakness perfectly and won this fight easily.
