Chapter 500: Deal with Gyro
"What do you mean?", asked Axel.
"Axel, that is why I took you here to meet my friend Gyro. He owns the training grounds in almost every famous city in the Johto region. So, once we make a deal with him, you will not have to worry about anything.", said Angela.
"Ohh, that is good. So, how much are we talking about?", asked Axel.
"How many Pokemons do you have and what are their ranks?", asked Gyro.
"Gyro, let's not go that road. That would be very expensive. Just give him an amount to use your facility for a day.
We are old friends. I know that you can help me out.", said Angela.
"Hmmm.. Since you said it, how about 1 million Poke dollars per day of using the training grounds.", said Gyro.
"That is too much. If I was using it for a couple of days or weeks, then I would have no problem with that amount but I would be using it for years. I don't earn 1 million Poke dollars in a day.", said Axel.
"Gyro, there is a reason why Axel has to get strong as fast as he can. Let's sit and talk.", said Angela.
"Alright. Now can you tell me the reason? And also tell me it is my problem?", asked Gyro. Angela was his friend but he was not going to make a loss in his business.
"You see, Axel is being hunted down by Cipher.", said Angela.
"ANGELA???", shouted Axel. This was supposed to be a secret. How she was telling this to others too?
"Don't worry Axel. Gyro also has a history with Cipher and not of a good kind.
Axel had an Abra and it became a shadow Pokemon. He cared for it and then after many years of hard work, he came up with a solution that could cure shadow Pokemon and he succeeded. So, now Alakazam is free from its shadow status.
However, Cipher got the news of it and they wanted to know the cure too. So, Cipher had been hunting him for some time now. They had not been so active as Axel is the successor of Oak but he doesn't have a lot of time.
That is why I want you to give me a huge discount for your training grounds.", said Angela.
"I am sorry Axel. I didn't know that you had a shadow Pokemon. I know how hard it is to control it.", said Gyro.
"It is okay. But what connection do you have with Cipher?", asked Axel.
"Well it is a long story and it happened when I was around your age. I had a Sandslash and it was one of my early Pokemon. Cipher captured it and turned it into a shadow Pokemon.
I was able to get it from the hands of Cipher but it was already too late. It was already a Shadow Pokemon.
At that time, I was very weak and Cipher was still a threat to the world. So, they captured my Sandslash back. I had never heard from it again.
Then I started to train and get stronger. I tried to challenge Cipher multiple times but I could get my Sandslash back.
I know you are using this story of mine to get a discount but I don't care. I want Cipher to pay and if you can do it instead of me, then I will be very happy.
So, instead of 1 million Poke dollars, I would charge you 50k Poke dollars per day for using my training ground. I cannot go lower than that. This is my bottom line."
50k per day was around 1.5 million per month for training grounds. Axel could handle that. He was very happy about getting a huge discount but now he had to find Sandslash if it was alive and destroy Cipher.
He would have done it if Gyro had not asked him to do it too.
###
Gyro showed him around the area and Axel was impressed. It was not as good and advanced as his own training ground in his home but he could train his king-rank Pokemons here.
He was very happy about this. He also promised that when he became stronger, he would make Cipher pay for all of this. Gyro was already about after hearing it.
Angela said her goodbyes to Axel and Gyro. She was the leader of the Venu family. So, she had a lot of things to do.
Axel could now finally concentrate on training his Pokemons. He called out all of his Pokemons and then told his new Pokemos to do their training on their own.
Axel could not teach them any new moves cause they had learned their new moves. Until their new evolution, they had to grind on these moves. He would let them have their first battle after some time but now it was time to concentrate on his old Pokemons including Slowpoke and Cloyster.
###
Slowpoke and Cloyster was a weird case. Both of them were connected and he wanted both of them to grow stronger. He wanted Cloyster to reach a rare rank in 4 months and Slowpoke to reach tier 2 king rank in 4 months. He knew that he was asking a lot from Slowpoke but that had to be done.
###
He looked at Slowpoke's stats:
---
Pokemon's name :- Slowpoke (Age- 50 years)
Pokemon Nickname :- None
Pokemon rank: king rank
Ability :-Own Tempo (mastered)
Hidden ability :- Regenerator (100%)
Potential :- Black (Monstrous)
Health :- 8500/8500
Attack :- D++ Agility :- E++
Defense :- E Sp. Atk :- C
Sp. Def :- C
Moves: Future sight (E) (Lvl 50), Trick Room (E) (Lvl 45), Rain dance (E) (Lvl 50), Chilling water (E) (Lvl 45), Slack off (E) (Lvl 54), Amnesia (G) (Lvl 39), Clam mind (E) (Lvl 50), Stored power (E) (Lvl 44), Hydro pump (E) (Lvl 42), Confusion (E) (Lvl 50), Psychic domain (G) (Lvl 32), Psybeam (G) (Lvl 39), Psychic burst (G) (Lvl 39), Psychic rain (G) (Lvl 39), teleport (G) (Lvl 34), Icy wind (G) (Lvl 31), Water pulse (G) (Lvl 35), Ice beam (G) (Lvl 31)
Core: Psychic (Mastered)
Hidden power- Water (30%)
---
Its stats had rapidly increased to a whole new level. Its health had increased to 8500 and all of its stats had increased. An increase in stats to C rank when one was a king-rank Pokemon in a month was a huge deal. Axel knew that this was all due to his talent and system powers.
Most of its moves had also leveled up and it had learned 3 new moves: 'Icy wind', 'Water pulse', and 'Ice beam'. Its 'Rain dance' had also reached level 50.
---
Rain dance (Slowbro) (Level 40): The duration of the rain dance has increased to level 8 minutes
(Level 45): The duration of the rain dance has increased to level 10 minutes.
(Level 50): The Rain is heavier and sharper than before.
---
This change would perfectly fit for 'Psychic rain' move which could be very powerful.
Its ability has also been mastered. Now 'Own temp' had become a passive move. At first, Slowpoke would have to activate its ability but now it didn't have to do it.
After that, he looked at Cloyster's stats:
---
Pokemon's name: Cloyster (Age- 20 years)
Pokemon Nickname: NA
Pokemon Rank: uncommon rank
Ability: Shell Armor (69%)
Hidden Ability: Overcoat (55%)
Potential: Brown (Monstrous)
Health: 3500/3500 Attack: E++
Agility: E Defense: D
Sp. Atk: C++ Sp. Def: E++
Moves: Aqua ring (G) (Lvl 34), Toxic spikes (C) (Lvl 26), Water spikes (C) (Lvl 24), Spike cannon (G) (Lvl 39), Clamp (C) (Lvl 29), Frost breath (C) (Lvl 28), Water gun (G) (Lvl 39), Toxic bite (G) (Lvl 39), Rain dance (U) (Lvl 18), Hydro pump (U) (Lvl 13), Chilling water (U) (Lvl 17), Ice beam (C) (Lvl 23), Icy wind (U) (Lvl 18), Water pulse (U) (Lvl 23)
---
Cloyster had also learned new moves and its stats had also changed. It was just an uncommon-rank Pokemon, so it was not very hard to upgrade its stats.
All together, Slowpoke and Cloyster had learned 6 exact moves:
1. Rain dance
2. Hydro pump
3. Chilling water
4. Ice beam
5 Icy wind and
6. Water pulse.
Axel made them learn these moves cause of only 1 reason and that was 'Toxic bite'.
---
Toxic bite: After biting Slowpoke, It would release a poison that would enhance Slowpoke's intelligence and physical capability.
---
Axel felt that if he could level it up to 40 and above then the similar moves of both of the Pokemons would have higher synergy and those moves would be very powerful.
However, he wanted Slowpoke to have a higher mastery of these moves. That was why he told Cloyster to learn it much later.
Now, Axel had to concentrate on how to level up 'Toxic bite'. It was a poison-type move and Cloyster was not a poison-type Pokemon. So, it would take a longer time for it to level it up. He knew that he could not be hasty on it.
However, there was one problem with this move. He could not let Cloyster practice these moves on Slowpoke right now. So, how was it going to level it up?
Axel had been facing this problem for quite some time now. Then an idea hit him. The idea was not foolproof but he could try it.
Why don't he let Cloyster train these moves in wild Pokemons? Cloyster and Slowpoke were a perfect match but other Pokemons were not. That didn't mean that Cloyster could not train it on other Pokemons. This may injure other Pokemons but it could train this move.
"Cloyster, remember my sentence again. The poison from your clam would enhance Slowpoke's intelligence and physical capability but now you would have to manipulate poison in such a way that, you could help Slowpoke in these similar moves that both of you have learned.
I know it would be hard at first but we have enough time.", said Axel.
Axel also wanted Slowpoke to concentrate on its illusion power and its move 'Psychic rain'.
So, he told it to level all these moves related to it. Of course, he was also going to help it.
"Slowpoke, when you think of using illusion on the opponent, what do you want them to see?", asked Axel.
"I want them to be inside the volcano, so they feel that they are being burnt. This would make them very weak and I can attack them during that time.", said Slowpoke.
"That is a simple way but I feel that it would not be very effective.", said Axel.
"Why so?"
"When they see that they are inside the volcano, they would automatically know that they are inside the illusion. So, they would do everything to break from it.
As of right now, you have just started to train in your illusion powers and they are not very strong."
"Then what do you think that I should do?", asked Slowpoke.
"Try to make the illusion as realistic as you can. For example, do you see the grass and that tree around here?", asked Axel.
"Yes"
"Good. The illusion should also be like this. There should not be any difference."
"Then what is the point of creating any illusion?", asked Slowpoke. It didn't feel the need to illusion if there were no difference between reality and illusion.
"I am not finished. The illusion and reality will be the same. But you will change one or 2 things in your illusion to your convenience. It should be changed in such a way that the opponent could not differentiate if this was a reality or an illusion.
You can create the difference after 10 or 20 seconds of using the move or from the start. If you do this, the opponent would not be focusing its powers on getting out of illusion and that is where you would strike."
Slowpoke was astounded by Axel's theory. It started to think about it and Axel's plan was much better than its plan in every way. It realized that Axel was a very good trainer and it was lucky to have him.
