After Lt. Surge had healed his Pikachu and called it back to his Pokeball, he started walking towards Alex.
He took out a small box with an A-Rank Thunder Badge and gave it to Alex with a smile.
Lt. Surge said with a small smile, "Take it, kid. You deserve it."
Alex, who could learn a lot from this fight and even got new ideas on how to combine his Master-rank moves, had great respect for Lt. Surge.
He smiled as he said, "Thank you very much. I really learned a lot fighting you."
Lt. Surge started laughing. "haha, you Bastard, you are really good at lying and you even show such a believable expression. You are really good at it. No wonder that you used so many tricks in the fight."
Alex gave a slightly speechless expression. "That wasn't a lie. ...Besides, I'm not the only one who used tricks, or am I, Old man?"
Lt. Surge stopped laughing and patted Alex's shoulder as he seriously said, "Kid, that was a joke."
Alex looked at the face of Lt. Surge and for a moment didn't know what to say. He didn't expect the Lt. Surge, who always looked so serious, would make a joke in such a situation.
Lt. Surge gave a small smile when he said, "But the fight was really good. I haven't had such a great fight at this level in a long time."
Then he suddenly showed a serious expression "But, you're a bit weird."
Alex looked at Lt. Surge with an expression like "And you're not?"
Lt. Surge smile when he said "No, you get me wrong. I mean the positive. In our fight, I learned several things from you and that's not something that happens often. You are really a weird Monster that will be really Strong in the future."
He said the last sentence in a dry tone and with a serious expression.
Alex said with a calm and relaxed expression. "Old man, I don't like it when people praise me and I don't know why they're doing that. Let us put the cards on the table."
Lt. Surge laughed and said "haha, kid you think too much. I like your character and have great expectations for your future so I'll just say my honest words."
Alex just smiled and said nothing further on the subject.
He and Lt. Surge keep talking about Pokemon training and other subjects for a long time.
Both exchanged their contact details and Alex felt the Lt. Surge is an interesting person even if he is not quite sure about the motives of Lt. Surge.
There are many possible reasons and Alex cannot say for sure which is the truth.
It may be that he really likes Alex's character and wants to build a good relationship. But it could just as well be that he sees Alex as a possible threat to Team Rocket and he wants to watch him.
There are many possibilities and even several possibilities at the same time that can be correct so that Alex is not sure how he should treat Lt. Surge.
Alex didn't really believe that Lt.Surge saw him as a threat to Team Rocket, especially because it wasn't necessarily true.
Team Rocket or the Alliance.
For Alex, his personal benefit is most important and neither of these two organizations has his full support.
Although Team Rocket is an underground organization, Alex thinks about Team Rocket differently than most underground organizations.
Team Rocket just wants to take control of the government and not do something crazy that endangers the whole Pokemon world.
Apart from the fact that the leader of other organizations does not have a similar staple mental state as Giovanni.
Alex's optimal situation is when he has a partner-like relationship with Team Rocket and the Alliance and can mostly show a neutral stance.
But that requires a ridiculous strength in terms of own and personal strength.
Although Alex hadn't made a firm plan yet and hadn't really made up his mind yet.
Alex has a better relationship with Team Rocket so that he is not sure whether he can really make a step backward without provoking Giovanni.
...
3 hours later in Alex & Maria's private training room.
Alex's Pokemon are training as usual when Alex suddenly noticed Shuppet starting to glow.
He quickly runs to Shuppet when he simultaneously fetches an item from his TRH device.
[Remains] (ashes) of a Champion Genger with SS-rank talent.
That was the most expensive item that Alex had ever bought and at a price similar to the Born S-Lapras that Misty had bought in the auction.
Shuppet absorbed the [Remains] similar to Ditto and his body began to glow more strongly.
After a few seconds, Shuppet's body started to change and the glow became so strong that Alex could no longer look directly at Shuppet.
After a moment the glow faded and a Banette became visible in front of Alex.
------------------
Pokémon: Banette
LV: 38
Type: Ghost
Abilities: Cursed Body (hidden ability)
Gender: Male
Potential: Shallow Diamond
Moves:
- Knock Off, Screech, Night Shade, Spite, Shadow Sneak, Will-O-Wisp, Feint Attack, Hex, Shadow Ball, Embargo, Destiny Bond [E]
- (Perfect Talent) Curse [E], (Perfect Talent) Phantom Force[E],
-(TM) Protect, (TM) Calm Mind, (TM) Toxic [E], (TM) Taunt [E], (TM) Thunderbolt, (TM) Psychic, (TM) Payback, (TM) Thunder Wave, (TM) Dazzling Gleam, (TM) Substitute
----------------
Alex who saw the info from Banette had mixed feelings.
He had a small hope that Banette would directly reach the Diamond potential, but he had already expected that it would not be so easy to achieve.
In terms of which moves remained as Perfect Talent moves, that's what got Alex thinking.
He wasn't sure which of these moves are objectively the best because the fights in this world cannot be compared 1 to 1 to the fights in the games of his old world.
Alex can imagine that a master rank [Curse] is a really strong move. Especially because he had read a lot of stories about Banette who often have a talent with [Curse].
He even read in a book that some moves for certain Pokemon species are easier to master than others with the same talent.
In the book, only fewer Pokemon were tested so that he can not be 100% sure whether it is true, but he also had no access to more knowledge about such research.
It can also be completely lying, but to Alex, it sounded too reasonable to be a lie.
There have been a lot of rumors from ordinary people in the Pokemon world that is very similar to the Pokedex entry Alex remembers.
"Banette generates energy for laying strong curses by sticking pins into its own body."
"Banette was originally a pitiful plush doll that was thrown away".
"Banette's energy would escape if it were to ever open its mouth"
Alex knew that these rumors are nonsense but the many stories that have been created from these rumors had one big thing in common for several generations that is not unimportant.
"Banette can use strong curses"
These many stories of normal people in the world have shown since several generations is for Alex an indication that the Banette Species probably really had a talent with the move [Curse].
In addition, because there are a lot of Pokemon that can use the move [Curse] and that only a few Pokemon have a similar reputation with the move as Banette, is an indication for Alex that these stories contain a bit of truth.
***
if you dont know: In all generations, Curse acts differently depending on whether the user has the Ghost type or not.
