Chapter 525: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 525
The next day, Alex was back at the arena, waiting for the tournament to begin.
On the second day, the battles would no longer take place in the same arena. Instead, all remaining participants would fight in the main stadium, and the matches would no longer occur simultaneously.
The new battlefield was considerably more complex than the one used on the first day.
It consisted of two rings. The outer ring was made of solid ground and functioned as a normal battlefield. The inner ring, however, was filled with water more than ten meters deep.
This unique layout naturally favored Water-type Pokémon, but they were not the only ones who benefited.
Flying-type Pokémon could also make excellent use of the terrain by forcing their opponents into unfavorable positions near the water.
For many Pokémon species, movement through deep water would dramatically reduce mobility.
As a result, the battlefield itself became an important factor that had to be considered before every match.
Alex understood this immediately and began thinking about how he could best exploit the arena if necessary.
