Pokemon - A real story

Chapter 498: Courtcase 1

Chapter 498: Courtcase 1

"Since you have told me to increase the punishment. The court would decide it in 1 hour. The break would be for 1 hour.", said the judge and went on his way.

"Dad, I cannot go to jail. Please help me.", pleaded Karena to her father.

"You should have thought about that before making a move against the successor of Oak. Are you stupid?

Judge, what are you going to do now?", asked her father.

"Mr. Kyle, that boy is not letting this go until your daughter goes to prison. I know he had not called Oak and I don't want that to happen. So, Karena has to go to jail.

I can try and reduce the sentence and the money but that is all I can do now.", said the judge.

"Can't you do something? I don't want my daughter to go jail.", said Mr. Kyle.

"I don't have any solution. If you have any, I am ready to hear it."

Jail was not so simple. First of all, if a person goes to jail, he/she will not be able to participate in any gym battles for 10 years. The trainer's reputation would also go down and could not participate in any tide battles. There were also a lot of disadvantages for going to jail and Kyle didn't want that for her daughter.

But Kyle also knew how powerful and ruthless Oak was. He didn't want his family to be destroyed. Oak's anger was very high.

"So,...

"After going through all the details, the court has decided on the punishment. Miss. Karena Mega would have to pay 2 billion Poke dollars and have to spend 1 year in jail.", said the judge.

There were gasps of surprise in the court. The people didn't think that they would hear such a thing in their lifetime. Mega family member going to jail? That was unheard of.

"I don't like the punishment.", said Axel.

"Axel and Karena, please come here for discussion.", said the judge.

Kyle also went to discuss and Angela also went to support Axel.

"Listen, I know she made a mistake and she is a little girl. She would be spending 1 year in prison now. I think you are satisfied.", said the judge in a low voice.

"I don't care. If I was not the successor of Oak, you would have sent me to 3 years in jail. You think I am stupid?"

"Mr. Axel, I am sorry about my daughter. I will discipline her well but 1 year is already too much for her. She had not seen the horrors of this world much less prison.", said Kyle.

"And do you think that it is our problem that you cannot control your daughter?", said Angela.

"Angela, this is not about you."

"It is about me. Axel is also an elder of my family. You are attacking my family and I don't like it."

"Ok, ok, wait for a second. How about I increase the money to 100 billion Poke dollars and 1 year of prison?", asked the judge.

"Make it 1 trillion Poke dollars.", said Axel.

"Ok, but please don't involve Prof. Oak in this. That is all I ask.", said the judge.

"Ok, you have a deal.", said Axel.

###

Axel could see that Karena was now in handcuffs and was being sent to jail. Axel had a big smile on his face. He got 1 trillion Poke dollars from the Mega family and now he could pay 500 billion Poke dollars to Oak for the unique balls.

1 trillion Poke dollars was not a small amount, even for a starter family. He was sure that Kyle would be taken down as an elder.

"You do know that you have made an enemy today.", said Angela.

"I know but I cannot sit here lying down."

"I know but you should be careful. This is the Johto region and the Mega family is very influential here."

"Don't worry, I can handle it and if I am in trouble, I will ask for help."

"Good. Now let's find a restaurant. I am hungry and we have to discuss other things.", said Angela.

###

"Now, can you tell me about the training grounds? I would need one for at least a month.", said Axel.

The training ground was very essential to him right now. His new Pokemons needed to train their body stats for a good foundation.

"Don't worry. The reason I called you here in Violet City is for the same reason.

I know a guy here that manages training grounds.", said Angela.

"Those types of training grounds would cost a lot for a month. I don't think that I can pay that much."

Axel was correct. There were training grounds in every big and famous city like Violet City. These training grounds were not as advanced as his training grounds in his home but they were perfect for his new Pokemons.

However, these training grounds were extremely expensive. That was why Axel chose to have his own training ground. A month of using the training grounds for all of his Pokemons would take billions of Poke dollars. He didn't want to waste so much money on it.

"That is why I selected Violet City. I know the guy who runs the training ground here and he would give me a good discount. So, the price would not be so high.", said Angela with a smile.

"That is good. But how much discount would he give me?"

"I told you that you don't need to worry about it. I will take care of it.", said Angela.

She seemed very confident so Axel agreed. Next, they started to discuss the new Pokemons that were coming from the cave, specially Arcon.

"The family is happy to have a new kind of Pokemon with them. This is still a secret and no one other than our family members knows about it but it will soon be out in the world.", said Angela.

"It would not matter. The cave is under our jurisdiction."

"That is correct and this would raise the reputation of the Venu family. You are really a lucky charm for me.

Now, you said that you wanted to talk about Cipher. I have some information about them.", said Angela.

"Oh, what is it? Are they actively searching for me?"

"They know who you are and what you are but they are letting this go for the time being."

"Why is that?"

"Cause you are the successor of Oak and they didn't want to mess with Oak. However, I recommend you to get strong as soon as possible. If this was the Kanto region, you didn't have to worry about anything but since this is not the Kanto region, you are not well protected.", said Angela.

"I know and I have been trying hard to get strong."

"I know that and I also know that no one of your age is as hard-working and strong as you but the situation is not very good.

That is why I am telling you to go the Aeus Island. You will power up a bit after you reach there and mainly you will be safe there. There would be other members of the Venu family that would help you out if there are any problems."

They talked about other things and it was already night. They also had their dinner at the restaurant and they decided to visit Angela's friend tomorrow morning.

When Axel reached his room, he started to think about what Angela had said. She was right. He now had king-rank Pokemons but he was still not strong enough to go toe to toe with an organization like Cipher.

He needed to have at least multiple champion-rank Pokemons if he wanted to mess with them and it would take some time to reach there.

Champion rank was very hard to reach and even Angela only had 1 champion rank Pokemon. However, time was not with him.

He was successful in making some friends and gathering a team but he had also made a lot of enemies. For example, he had recently made an enemy out of the Mega family.

He knew that they may not be able to harm him directly but indirectly. It would be difficult for Axel.

His team was also training in the Kanto region and if something were to happen to him, then his team could not support him. Red was still on the mission and Red would not be able to protect him every time.

So, he realized that he needed allies, especially from the Johto region. Only 2 names came to his mind.

First was the Whitney family and the second was Lance's family.

Lance's family originally belonged to the Johto region. Blackthorn city was a powerful city and Lance's family controlled this city.

Axel had also made communication with a member of the Whitney family and he believed that he could make a good relation with them. However, he also took Angela's advice and he didn't want to associate with them too closely.

Then, another person came to his mind. That was Morgan from Vermilion City Gym. He had told Morgan that he would train his son Frank if his son was serious about training.

He also said that he would come to meet Morgan after the league battle was over. He could make a connection with them cause they were desperate.

He dialed Morgan's number.....

Tring.. Tring.. Tring.. Tring..

Katchak..

"Hello, Axel. How are you? I have been waiting for your call for a long time.", said Morgan.

"I am sorry that I was late but I was very busy these past months."

"I can understand that."

"So, what about Frank? Is he ready to work hard and train himself?", asked Axel.

"Yes, I drilled that into him. He is now ready to work hard. If he doesn't follow your command now, then you can leave him where he is and you would not have to be responsible.", said Morgan.

That was a harsh thing for a father to say but Axel could understand.

"Alright, I am in Violet City in the Johto region. I will be here for a month. After a month, I will go to Aeus Island. You must have heard about it right?", asked Axel.

"Yes, I have heard about it."

"If your son is ready to train, then you and he can come to Violet City. As I have already told you, I will have to go to Aeus Island after this. Can you make an arrangement for him to go there?", asked Axel.

"That would not be a problem. I will register him to go there after a month.", said Morgan.

Axel didn't know how he would get a seat to go there cause the seats were very demanding. However, he didn't care.

"Alright, why don't you and Frank come here and we will talk? I want to see if he has changed his attitude."

"We will be there in 2 days. I must thank you for this."

"No, there is no need to thank me. He looks like a good kid."

After talking for a few seconds, he hung off the phone.

Axel was happy with the conversation. Frank was the son of Morgan. Morgan had a very good standing in the Kanto region. So, when Frank travels with Axel, Axel's enemies would think twice before attacking him.

If Frank had changed as he hoped, then Frank could also be a valuable ally. So, he was happy with the conversation.

Axel was also eagerly waiting for tomorrow. He wanted to train his Pokemons and make them stronger. His king-rank Pokemons had also been training and they had been doing well. None of them had ranked up to tier 2 king rank or tier 3 but Axel knew that such things would take time.

His goal was to get them to pseudo-champion rank by the end of the Johto region. He had only hoped for 1 rank in 3 years. This was due to many reasons.
