Pokemon: Master of tactics

Chapter 376

Alex enjoyed the view from this high altitude as he held a compass and the map.

Crobat start to use his flying energy to block the wind for Alex so that flying at very high speeds isn't uncomfortable for Alex.

Alex looked up with a smile as he said telepathically, "Thank you"

Crobat showed a cold expression as he respond, "Shut up. I only did that so you wouldn't annoy me the whole flight."

Alex laughed lightly as he said with a nostalgic expression, "Haha, you haven't changed at all. You're still the same bastard. Even though you're not trying to kill me anymore."

Crobat showed a mocking expression as he replied, "I only tried to kill you once and my reason was not inconceivable. In case you forgot, you tortured me."

Alex showed a smile as he said, "Ohh is that so? Can you remind me again what happened first, you trying to kill me or me torturing you?"

Crobat still remembered the moment he met Alex for the first time and of course, knew the answer to this question. But he still didn't say anything and acted like Alex's question wasn't directed at him.

Alex continued to smile as he continued, "I didn't say that to blame you. This was our first meeting and it is understandable."

Crobat showed Alex a cold look as he replied, "I'm not insulted. You don't have to explain it to me."

Alex started laughing again when he heard that. At those moments he felt that he and Crobat were truly family. Both understood each other very well and didn't need words to understand what the other person thinks of each other.

He stopped laughing after a few moments and he said with a small smile, "But you've actually softened up a bit. If you were an 8/10 villain you're now a 7/10 villain. haha"

Crobat started to show a very small smile as he replies, "Ohh, and you were not? you were a 10/10 psychopath before you met me and the rest."

Alex replies with a confused expression, "What are you talking about? I a Psychopath? F*ck, even if that's true, I wasn't like that before."

Then he started flashing a smile, "If anything, you've made me more sinister. You're a bad influence."

Crobat's right eye started twitching when he heard that. "That you can say something like that without laughing is really impressive. Your shamelessness is really without equal."

He doesn't even try to refute this nonsense.

Alex himself even knows that he wasn't a "normal" person before he met Crobat. He just didn't have a chance to explore his darkness.

What normal person views almost all other Humans as useful or useless tools? or Reacts so calmly when he kills another person with his own hands for the first time?

(Alex wasn't 100% calm when he killed another human for the first time, but compared to other humans you can call his reaction calm. Especially since he hardly had any psychological problems after the murder.)

He wasn't a monster, but he wasn't a normal person either.

Alex and his group flew for 9 hours at a very fast speed before they finally saw the right island.

Along the way, Alex's group saw and encountered many powerful Flying-type Pokemon.

Luckily none of these Pokemon were really very strong and at the late-elite or champion level.

(40-49=low elite, 50-54= mid elite, 55-59= late elite)

Most of the other Elite-level Pokemon ignore Alex and his party.

As for the elite Pokemon that attacked Alex's group. These are eliminated by Crobat's [Shadow Ball].

These elite Pokemon collapsed unconscious and fell into the sea where they would drowned to death.

After seeing this, Alex understood why the Pokemon here are so much less aggressive than the Pokemon on land.

Alex looked at the island and saw a large steel base with lots of ships, People, Pokemon, etc.

This large steel building was impressively large, even larger than the largest team rocket base in Kanto. But compared to this huge island it was only a small spot.

The island itself was very large and mostly surrounded by forest. But it had a big sea in the middle of the island and even many rivers spread all over the island. It even has a small mountain.

Though many times smaller than Kanto, it was still a very large island that cannot be quickly explored.

Alex gives a signal to Crobat to first land on the island outside the base.

He wanted to wear his Ditto mask first before entering this Team Rocket base.

Although the reports of a few Team Rocket members can't hurt him much, Alex prefers to play it safe and never show his face to regular Team Rocket members.

After all, that's one of the reasons why Giovanni gave him a second ID in the Team Rocket database and delete his first ID.

In theory, Alex only had one ID in the team rocket base. His fake ID. (if you don't include Giovanni's personal database)

He was a Team Rocket Elite Captain in this ID and thus only one tier lower than an executive.

Alex's group was quickly taken to a waiting room where they only had to wait 5 minutes.

Maria, Elise, and Daniel had no interest in meeting the person in charge of this base, so they waited in the waiting room.

After Alex had waited 10 minutes, a secretary came and escorted Alex to the office of the owner of this base.

The owner of this base ranks higher than Alex, as he is a Team Rocket Executive and only has to follow orders from Giovanni.

Alex entered the room and immediately saw a weird-looking person sitting in the room.
