Chapter 49: Charmander's first trainer battle (Edited)

"No, it's a Pokemon from the Hoenn region.", Axel said. He obviously didn't mention that Shedinja has very low HP.

"Axel great battle. But I must tell you when you are in the wild, you should not be that relaxed." said Roman.

He continued "K, how can you be so stupid? You completed your basic school course very fast cause you were intelligent. How can you not know about Shedinja? It is bug/ghost-type Pokemon that is immune to all of the attacks except for flying, rock, ghost, fire and dark-type moves. Of course, this happens when it had fully mastered its ability."

"Wow! Really, then sir, such Pokemon must be very famous. Why is it not well known?", asked B.

"Well, it has a glaring weakness. And that is its Hp is pitifully low. One hit and it will be down. And the 5 types which work on it are super effective against it. So, not many people use Shedinja as their battle partner." said Roman.

"K, use a potion on Sandshrew and then you will battle Axel once again. But this time, Axel, you will use another Pokemon. I want to see how you handle the battle with normal Pokemon. Shedinja, now, is unbeatable if paired with Sandshrew."

Axel didn't expect that. He can't use Weedle, cause it is very weak now. Gogoat doesn't like to fight. So only Nidoran and Charmander were left. He decided to use Charmander. He wanted to train Charmander now. This will be Charmander's first trainer battle.

###

After 10 minutes,

Both of the Pokemons were on the battlefield. Charmander and Sandshrew.

"Ok, Begin!"

"Sandshrew, use 'Dig'"

"Charmander, start jumping backward"

Sandshrew dug the hole and went inside. In the meanwhile, Charmander started jumping backward. Then Sandshrew came out of another hole, where Charmander was previously. The move didn't connect cause Charmander was far back.

This was the problem with 'Dig'. Axel had figured that out in the last battle with 'Sandslash' in the Rookie tournament. Except for the few Pokemons like Ekans who is a snake-type Pokemon, other Pokemon could not predict when using 'Dig'.

Of course, it would not matter if the mastery of 'Dig' was adequate, but Sandshrew just started learning it. So, it was on a basic level.

Charmander was high in the air when Axel said "Now use 'Ember'".

The move didn't connect cause Sandshrew dodged but it did its job. Dust was created making the visibility low.

"Charmander, now use 'Dragon dance'", Axel needed some time to use 'dragon dance' and it was a perfect opportunity.

'Dragon dance' could be used 6 times. But now, Charmander could only use up to 1 time cause it just started training in it.

When Sandshrew, got to see where Charmander was, it had already completed the dance. Sandshrew then used 'Scratch' while Charmander dodged it and use 'Dragon rush'.

The move connected, but it didn't deal much damage cause Sandshrew's defense is very high.

But Axel used 'Dragon dance' not for an attack but for more speed. Sandshrew's speed was low, so it could not dodge much of the attack.

Axel then used ember multiple times, cause Sandshrew's sp.defense was low. And after a few minutes, Charmander had won.

Ding!

Ember has leveled up to 6

Ding!

Dragon dance has leveled up to 3

Ding!

Dragon rush has leveled up to 3

'Hmm, so at the first trainer battle, its mastery will increase rapidly', thought Axel.

The same has happened to Nidoran.

Then, Roman gave some points of advice to Axel and heavily berated K. K was not having a good day today. Making fun of him for losing 2 battles in a row was not a good start to the day.

After some time, Roman started giving the lecture.

He looked at each and every Pokemon of everyone and gave them advice on how to train. Axel's view on training his Pokemon from his lecture was increasing.

After 3 hours, Roman said goodbye and said to meet after 3 days. The session was twice a week with Saturday being an extra holiday.

"Hey, you have some interesting Pokemons. Where did you catch those?", asked A.

"Yeah, I want to know more.", asked B.

"Where can you catch a Shedinja?", asked K.

K was now hell-bent on catching Shedinja. Shedinja looked like a god to him.

They talked for hours until the evening. Axel shared all his stories about how he caught his Pokemon, his training, and also all the moves that his Pokemon could learn. These 3 brothers were very friendly. He came to know that, A and B were twins and K was born 3 years later.

A had 2 Pokemons; Beedrill and Nidorina. B had 3 Pokemons; Sandslash, Butterfree, and Vileplume. K only had one Pokemon and that was Sandslash.

A and B were 16 years old and each had a rare ranked Pokemon, Nidorina of A and Butterfree of B. Hearing that Axel finally understood what the leader told him about.

'The young generation of today is truly weak. 3 years and only 1 rare ranked Pokemon? I could have a King ranked Pokemon at that time.', Axel thought.

But what Axel realized was, none of them had Bulbasaur. So he asked, "Since this is Venu family, why don't any of you have Bulbasaur?" Axel could see a look that said 'Are you that stupid?' from the 3 brothers.

But A being the eldest of the 3 (A is one minute older than B) changed his face to neutral and said "Axel, you know that Bulbasaur is a rare Pokemon right?"

Axel then said, "Yes, but since this is the Venu family, shouldn't it be more common?"

"Haha, you are so stupid.", laughed B.

But A replied to this question again "It is even rarer in the Venu family. Since this is the Venu family, the most powerful Pokemon in the forest is Venusaur. They have a locality in the south of the forest. So, we could not randomly catch Bulbasaur. It must be given by the acknowledgment of Venusaur which is very rare. The mother and the father of Bulbasaur decide its fate."

Axel was surprised to hear it. He thought that he could catch Bulbasaur in the forest but not it seemed very difficult.

But hearing their stories Axel thought that he might have caught a lot of Pokemons. He had 5 Pokemons and the trainer who had trained for 3 years had only 3. So, he thought he would ask about this to elder Adam in their next meeting.

"Hey, how did your Charmander learn 'dragon energy'?" asked K. "Well, its father is a Charizard but its mother is a Hydreigon a dragon-type Pokemon. So that is why he could learn dragon type moves" replied Axel

"But the only Pokemon to learn 'Dragon energy' is Regidrago. So, how could he learn it?", asked K.

"Regidrago? What kind of Pokemon is it?", asked Axel. Axel may have learned a lot from the books, anime and games, but he didn't know all the Pokemons.

This is the first time he had heard about such Pokemon. "Regidrago is a dragon-type legendary Pokemon. It is one of the members of the legendary titans. You know what legendary titans are right?" asked A

"Of course, I know," said Axel. There were only 3 Pokemon he knew that are titled as legendary titans. They were Regirock, Regice and Registeel.

"A, I want my Weedle to learn 'Electro web', since you have a Beedrill, can you help me?"
