Pokemon - A real story

Chapter 150: Introduction

Chapter 150: Introduction

Everyone had their eyes wide open. Even Axel was surprised by this battle. Everyone had thought the battle would take some time to finish as both of them were using rare-ranked Pokemons. Axel was also surprised by how fast the battle ended. He had used 'Aura sense' and knew that the Gyarados was powerful. It was not as powerful as Beedrill but it was powerful. So, he could not believe that he won so fast.

Then he realized why he won so fast. Even if Gyarados was powerful, it didn't have any experience in fighting. Axel then realized when Blue said that Axel was a powerful trainer for his age. Axel had a good experience battling with members of the Venu family, Oak, gym leaders, and random Pokemon trainers in the wild. While Lance didn't have such experience. He now realized how much experience mattered.

[Ding! Quest Completed.

Reward: Perception: It helps a Pokemon conceptualize the already learned move of a Pokemon. Choose a Pokemon and a move. The move may also evolve.

Do you want to use it right now?]

Axel said 'No'. He was sure how to use it. It was 'Resolve' of Beedrill. But he would not use it right now. The evolution of Beedrill to elemental rank was to level up its 'Resolve' move. So, using this reward may evolve Beedrill but Axel wanted to max out all of its stats to S rank. Beedrill had not maxed out its stats when it was in Weedle and Kakuna form. The only reason Beedrill had good defense and speed was due to its move 'Resolve'. So, Axel wanted to max up all the stats of Beedrill to S. He imagined how powerful would Beedrill be in the future.

All of them analyzed their group members. The explorer also nodded his head. They still had 10 hours until they reached their destination.

The group started to ask Axel questions,

"Hey, how do you have such big size Pokemons?"

"Are they a secret of the Venu family?"

"How powerful are you exactly?"

"How many gym badges do you have?"

A round of questions hit Axel. But Axel didn't have to answer any of them so he just said, "The Pokemons are bigger due to their training. I am not going to answer about my gym badges to you and any secrets of the Venu family."

They realized that they were not going to get anything from Axel. Hence, they started to talk about other things.

Ryker started, "So, how do you guys feel about this trip? Do you think it would be dangerous? The head explorer did seem serious in his briefing."

Axel didn't think that Ryker would be the first one to talk about something that made sense in this situation. He then replied, "I think we should start to tell our story on how did we get to know about the quest."

Ryker asked, "why don't you start then?"

Axel replied, "Alright. I came to know about this from the leader of the Venu family just 2 days ago. I was given the details of the mission on how we would compete against the 5 members from the Hoenn region by raising a new Pokemon for 2 months. That is all."

"Really? Just 2 days prior," said Lyra in a loud voice. Her face showed that she felt pity for the silver-haired kid.

"Why how much earlier were you guys informed?", asked Axel.

"I was informed 1 month prior and I had to go to a lot of wilderness training for a month.", said Lyra. She had a mixture of sadness and anger on her face. It was like she had faced some tragedy.

"Me too. I also had to go through the wilderness training.", replied Ryker.

"I and Lance also had to go through it but we were informed 2 months prior.", said Lorelai.

"Fuck!!! Then why was I informed just 2 days ago and what is this wilderness training?", shouted Axel in annoyance.

"It is training on how to survive in wilderness." replied Lance with a Stoic expression.

"I know that!. Can you guys teach me about this wilderness thing?" asked Axel.

"It took us a month or two to learn it. So, I don't think we could teach you in 10 hours. But if you follow us on the trip, I think that you can learn it" replied Lance.

Axel nodded his head and started to tell the conversation he had with Blue. He didn't specify Blue's name as Oak had still not declared that Axel was his disciple. They started to talk about what Pokemon they wanted to catch and what they would do on this trip for 2 months. Lance and Axel were the silent types. Ryker had a huge mouth. Lorelai was a caring type and Lyra seemed a little mysterious.

They spent the rest of their time talking about the adventure and trip. Soon 10 hours had passed and they had reached the unknown island on time. The group finally touched the ground and they started to see the surrounding near them. The surrounding seemed like a military zone to Axel. There were lots of camps and tents. The place was filled with people wearing the same uniform, Pokemons and their trainers guarding the borders.

###

They were led to a huge tent and were told to wait for a certain person for further instruction. After some time, a man came to the tent. The man was almost 7 feet tall. He was a scar on his brown-colored face. He was wearing the same uniform as other explorers but he emitted an aura of authority. He had bulging muscles. Axel could see the blue nerves almost popping from his shoulders. The man looked like a half-giant.

"It looks like you kids had a pleasant time. I am here to give you further instructions. The 5 kids from the Hoenn region would be here at any second. You would start your competition tomorrow at 6 am where all 10 of you would be dropped in a certain place. All of you are needed to come here after 2 months for the competition. I hope you kids would win us the island."
