Pokemon - A real story

Chapter 583: Meeting Kent

Chapter 583: Meeting Kent

"Kent, let me ask you a serious question. Getting a new Pokemon is not something that I joke about."

"Ok, go on."

"I have Gyarados that I can use in Hoenn region. I also have Croconaw that I can use in the Hoenn region. I don't want to have too many Pokemons as I already have 20 Pokemon now and I plan to get another electric-type Pokemon soon. So, do you really think that I should get a Squirtle right now?"

"Axel, let me ask you a question. Gym leaders have all types of Pokemons but they focus mostly on one type. Why do think we do that?"

"It is for trainers."

"Yes and no. Yes, that is one of the reasons but that is not all the reasons. Let's just take an example of water type. Water type can be used for an attack like Gyarados of mine. It could also be used for defense like Blastoise. It could also be used for Agility like Vaporeon of mine. It could be used for many things.

Typing should not be the only reason you want to make a decision. From what I know, your Gyarados is for special type attack and also attack type. Your Croconaw is for attack type. So, why don't you get a Blastoise for defense?

If you are thinking that defense is not necessary, then you are very wrong. When you become older, you will be facing a lot of tide battles. Defensive-type Pokemons will keep you alive and also your Pokemon alive. You also have a mercenary team, so a defensive Pokemon is a must for you and Blastoise is perfect for you.

I can see that you want to have Blastoise as your Pokemon so why don't you get it."

"Thanks, that really helped me a lot to make a decision."

"You are welcome and your thinking of not getting too many Pokemons is wrong. Why don't you want to have too many Pokemons? What are you scared of? Money? I don't think that would be a problem for you."

"But I have personally trained all of them. It would be a big hassle. I still have 6 more regions to cross."

"You are thinking this in a wrong way. First of all, you don't have to personally train all of your Pokemons every time. You must have also realized that you now don't need to observe your older Pokemons more.

When a Pokemon reaches king rank, they have their own intelligence and they can think for themselves. That is the best benefit of having king-rank Pokemon. I am not saying that you totally forget about their training but you just have to give them hints and that is all they need.

You will also reach higher ranks in the future. When you reach pseudo-king rank or king rank, your psychic powers and aura powers will improve a lot and you can simultaneously monitor them. So, it would not be a problem."

Axel had never thought of it like that. He was only thinking of his Pokemons to battle gym battles and league battles. But Pokemons were much more than that. He would need them in the tide too and in other situations too. He didn't have a problem with money like others and he could train them too.

So, after hearing all the advice from Kent, Axel decided to get a Squirtle.

"Ok Kent, I will get a Squirtle. So, can I get one for my sister and myself?"

"Yes, of course."

"How much should I pay for it?"

"Haha, Axel, I didn't tell all of this to you so that I can sell you for money. I don't need money. You can get them for free."

"Really?"

"Yes, but you know our promise. You have to train my 4 daughters in the future. Since you are asking to pay in some way, why don't I send my 3 daughters to your place to train? All of them now have a Squirtle. Daisy is 12 years old now, Violet is 8 years old and Lily is 7 years old. Misty is only 3 years old, so her mother would not let her come there."

"Kent, did you forget the fact that I am facing a tide now? Do you really want your daughters to come here right now?"

"What is there to be afraid of? Didn't you just say that there is nothing to worry about?"

"Yes, but I am surprised that you believed in my confidence."

"Haha, Axel I don't play with the situation but I play with the man. I know you and I can tell that my daughters will be safe. So, do I let them carry 2 eggs of Squirtle and then go there?"

"No, I will be choosing the Squirtle by myself. I will be coming with my sister."

"Is that wise? You guys are facing the tide now."

"Yes, you are right. I will come only by myself."

"Haha, if you are so confident then I have nothing to be afraid of. Come fast, I will be waiting for you."

"Thanks, I will be there fast enough. Do give me the coordinates of your location."

"I will."

Axel decided to not take Agnes cause he was going to teleport with Alakazam. Kent's place was not that far away, and he believed that he would reach there after half a day of teleportation.

###

"Why can't I go?", shouted Agnes as she also wanted to choose her own Squirtle.

"You have never been teleported before. It is the worst feeling and we will be slow. I must come here in a few days."

Axel wanted to teleport with Alakazam and come here on the plane. Alakazam could not take 4 humans in its teleportation and those girls might not be able to handle it. But Agnes was not giving up.

"Why don't you let Mew help you?", asked his mom, and suddenly a light bulb came over his head.

That was possible. If Axel were to make a special dish and then Mew would be happy to do the work. However, he needed to make something. Mew was not going to do a favor for him without getting anything.

So, what was he going to make? He was from Nepal in his past life so he was also familiar with Indian foods. He may not say it out loud but he loved Indian food more than Nepalese food sometimes.

So, he decided to make Samosa.

It was an Indian dish and it was very tasty. Axel had not made it himself before but he knew how to make it. The process was simple but it took him an hour to perfect it.

Finally, Axel was ready. Agnes was eagerly waiting for the dish. Her mother cooked delicious food but when Axel went to the kitchen, she knew that something different was happening.

"Let me try, let me try.", said Agnes, and Axel gave her one.

He was in the restaurant when he cooked Samosa. He knew that Mew was in its room eagerly waiting for its food.

He entered and seeing that it was Axel, Mew also appeared. Axel presented the dish to Mew and told it to try it.

"Ummm... it is so good. How do you come up with such stuff?", asked Mew.

"I am a creative guy. Mew, I need a favor from you. It is a small thing."

"Oh, what do you want? I can't help you win the tide. MEW would kill me."

"No, no, I just want you to teleport me somewhere and after I finish my job, teleport me here."

"That is it?"

"Yes, I will include this dish also in your food."

"OK then. Let's go."

Mew was very intelligent and it knew that Axel was bribing it to do a job but it didn't really care. After meeting with Axel, Mew had found someone who could make new dishes, and all these dishes were very delicious.

Agnes was happy that she could go somewhere. Since she was so small, she could not go out of the city more often. So, she was excited to meet new people and look at new places.

"Mew, please change into Alakazam. I will introduce you as my Light.", said Axel.

For some reason, Mew was also very secretive about its identity. It only revealed itself to Axel and the family cause they supplied food.

Mew changed to Alakazam and it looked exactly like Axel's Alakazam. Mew was one of the most powerful Pokemon in this world. It never showed its powers to Axel but Axel could tell that Alakazam had a lot to learn from Mew.

"Ok, let's go.", said Axel telling Mew the co-ordinates of Kent's house.

###

"So, are you girls ready to become the best water-type trainer?"

"Yes,", said Daisy.

"Father, do we really have to go to another place to train? Can't we train here?", asked Violet.

"No, you cannot. Your mother is very soft and she won't let me train you guys properly. Axel might only be 15 years old, but he is a powerful and experienced trainer. So, you will go there to learn from him."

Lily was the one who was most excited to go to Axel's place. She was only 7 years old and she had never been to another city. Daisy was already 12 years old now and she needed to get a good experience cause she was going to start her journey after a year.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Kent told the servant to come inside.

"Yes, Calra. What is it?"

"Yes, Mr. Axel is waiting for you in the lobby."

"What? He is here so fast? I just talked to him like 2 hours ago?"

"Sir, I can confirm that he is here."

"Ok, let him wait in the lobby. Girls, start to pack and tell your mother goodbye. I will go to Axel to greet him."

###

Kent's home was very big. It was like a 5-star hotel with many rooms, a big garden and there were also multiple training grounds with a big lake. Frankly, it covered such a vast area that Axel didn't even know where to go. Fortunately, Axel was guided by a butler to the lobby.

As Axel was looking around, Kent came to greet him.

"Axel, long time no see.", said Kent and gave Axel a hug.

Kent looked at Alakazam and then understood how Axel could come here so fast. However, he could not believe that Axel's Alakazam was so strong. He could guess that Alakazam was a tier 2 king rank Pokemon which was a huge achievement for Axel.

"So, Axel do you care for a tea?"

"Sorry, Kent. You know I am facing the tide. So I am in a hurry. Why don't we go to see the Squirtle egg? Oh, by the way, this is my sister Agnes."

Agnes greeted Kent and Kent did the same. Kent didn't waste any time and then took Axel to the breeding center. Surprisingly, there was a breeding center too.

Before reaching the breeding center, they had to cross a training ground and there they met Blastoise. This was the Blastoise of Kent and it was his first Pokemon. It was a champion-rank Pokemon.

Due to this Blastoise, Kent was called the strongest gym leader in the Kanto region. He had a champion-rank Pokemon with him.

Axel looked at Blastoise with great curiosity. Blastoise greeted Axel, Agnes, and then Alakazam. It then started to guide Axel and Agnes to the egg section where the eggs of Squirtle were kept.
