Pokemon - A real story

Chapter 594: Tier 2

Chapter 594: Tier 2

'Thunder punch' had leveled up to 40 and now it was more powerful, had more penetrating power and the move also had a hint of poison that could poison the target.

Since this move had high penetrating power, the poison in this move entered Nidorino's body and it not only paralyzed as it was a paralyzing poison but also opened a door for other poison to enter.

As of right now, Nidoking could use 2 types of poison. Paralyzing poison and life poison which would decrease the health of its enemies. Since it was poisoned, Nidoking used the move 'Poison sting' on its face, point blank. Nidoking was still not done. It took advantage of such a surprise attack and used the move 'Dig'.

Now, 'Dig' had greatly leveled up and Nidoking took Nidorino and went underground pressing Nidorino's body in the underground further and further and it left Nidorino and came out of the hole. It then used the move 'Sludge bomb' in that hole. Now Nidorino was definitely poisoned. It then used 'Poison spread' and 'Poison damage transfer' and then used the move 'Fissure' on top of the ground.

BANG!!!!

That 'Fissure' was powerful. It was above level 45 and Nidoking used its full force in that move. Nidorino might be no more after using this move. However, Nidoking could still feel that it was sucking health from 'Poison damage transfer'. This might be due to the residual life energy left in Nidorino's body but Nidoking was still vigilant.

Nidorino wanted to start the battle in an easy way and then increase its power later. It was fighting against a tier 1 king-rank Pokemon so it was not so serious. However, Nidoking came with its strong moves.

It used multiple moves and didn't even give Nidorino any time to counterattack. Nidorino was weak against ground-type moves so the moves like 'Dig' and 'Fissure' were super effective against it. Even if it was a tier 2 king-rank Pokemon, it may not survive after being hit by so many moves.

However,

BANG!!!!

Suddenly the ground exploded and all the rocks inside the underground came out. It was like a large explosion. The explosion was massive. Slowly Nidoking could see that Nidorino was coming out of the ground. It was severely injured but it was very angry.

There were many cuts, and deep wounds on its body but it looked very powerful. It had an aura of a powerful Pokemon. After getting hit by so many attacks, it was not taking this fight lightly now. It had already used its pre-domain move.

There was a purple bone-type structure that was covering its body and it was literally levitating on the ground.

'What type of move is this? Can a poison-type Pokemon really do this?', thought Nidoking. It had heard that just like ghost-type energies, poison type also had many types of energies. So, this Nidorino was using one of those types and Nidoking could tell that this type of energy was perfect for it.

But it also knew that this Nidorino was not going to tell it even if it died here.

Nidoking had already used 'Poison armor' and also created armors after using 'Sand construct' when it heard the explosion. It was ready for round two.

Then suddenly, the speed of Nidorino increased to a very high level and it struck Nidoking using 'Horn attack'. It was so fast that even Nidoking could not properly see its movement. The sand armor was pierced and there were also cracks in 'Poison armor'.

The power of this move seemed to be very high as Nidoking knew that its defense was very high right now. Nidoking could only seem to defend Nidorino's moves as it could not even properly see it.

The 'Poison damage transfer' was still working but Nidoking was getting many injuries now. After fighting for 10 minutes, Nidoking was able to use multiple 'Mud bombs' on Nidorino's body which stuck on its body and made its body heavier.

So, the speed had decreased a lot and now Nidoking was also fighting against it. Nidoking realized that this was the time as it was going to use its own domain move, it felt something and then it started to glow.

---

Ding!

Megalania's attack stat has ranked up to A rank.

Ding!

Megalania is ranking up to tier 2 king rank...

---

It was ranking up during the battle. Nidorino also saw it and now it could not do anything. It knew that it was going to die right now and even at the cost of its life, it wanted to end the life of this strange Pokemon. It had heard many horrific stories that if the rank up or evolution is disturbed, then the soul of the enemy is tortured for eternity. That is why no one wanted to disturb the process of rank-up or evolution.

However, it also had many children and if it stopped right now, they may not be able to live in the future. So, even if it was against nature, it decided to end this Nidoking. During the process of rank-up or evolution, the Pokemon would be in a vulnerable state and it was going to take advantage of it.

It gave a huge roar and then ran towards the glowing Nidoking. Nidorina, a tier 1 king-rank Pokemon was also in this battle. It was the wife of Nidorino and it also saw this phenomenon. It wanted to stop Nidorino from doing this thing but it was too far from Nidorino.

As Nidorino was going to kill Nidoking during its rank-up, it suddenly stopped. It didn't stop by itself but it was stopped by an unknown force and it started to float on the ground.

"What is happening? Is this the curse that they say?", shouted Nidorino.

"You cannot interfere with the process. Don't you know about this?", came a voice that directly hit its mind and it felt an unbearable pain from all over its body as it crashed to the ground and started to scream.

Nidorina, who was seeing this could not take it and started to run towards Nidorino but since it was also fighting against Lance's Dragonite, it could not. Dragonite took advantage of it and gave a powerful blow to Nidorina.

Meanwhile, Nidoking ranked up to tier 2 king rank. Finally, it had ranked up. Its hard work had paid off. It felt that a shackle that was holding it had been released.

It already knew that Nidorino was going to kill it during the rank-up. So it was obviously very angry. At first, it didn't want to kill this Nidorino as it was the same species. But now, such a thing had left its mind.

It first detonated all the mud bombs and then used the move 'Horn drill' to pierce Nidorino.

Nidorino had died.

###

Golem was fighting against Alakazam and Shedinja. It was an easy fight for 2 of them as it was 2 against one. Both of them had finished the battle before Nidoking could finish its battle.

They were now helping others in their battle. Since Nidoking had just ranked up, all of its stamina had been healed and its stamina was back on top. So, it looked towards the battle and found out that the battle against king-rank Pokemons was going to be over.

So, it concentrated on pseudo-king rank Pokemons. It used its 'Sludge wave', 'Poison spread', and 'Poison damage transfer' and then used 'Substitute'. After using 'Substitute', it basically dominated the battle against numerous pseudo-king rank Pokemons.

Then it used many moves like 'Horn attack', 'Mud bombs', and 'Poison balls'. After it used 'Poison domain' and then used the move 'Spinning poison' to do a large amount of damage.

Nidoking had basically managed to kill a large number of Pokemons and they were able to finish the battle very soon.

###

"Kanpai!!!"

All of them cheered their drinks on a major victory today. They had lost very few soldiers today and Axel was happy about it. The numbers were very low and the tide was not over but Axel could tell that the number would be below 5%.

The 3 super teams had done it. They contributed a lot and due to them, they were able to kill so many Pokemons in a short time. Axel's strategy had worked.

"Sir, what is your future plan? We were able to kill a good amount of king-rank Pokemons today but I don't think that it is over.", said Hector.

"Yes, it is not over and I cannot even tell how many king-rank Pokemons that we have to fight. We cannot go there and see right now. But we must be prepared. Until that tier 3 king-rank Pokemon is dead, we have to be prepared.

But today is the time for celebration. This is a massive victory. So enjoy all of you. Tend to the injuries and get ready for battle for tomorrow.", said Axel.

"Sir, where are you going?", asked Hector as he saw Axel leaving.

"I have another party to attend."

###

The party was in his home. Nidoking had finally ranked up to tier 2 king rank and everyone was celebrating. Reaching tier 2 was a huge accomplishment.

"Kid, you have finally done it.", said Shedinja.

"Yes, boss. I am now finally able to reach you and Charles's stage.", said Nidoking with a smile.

"Congrats buddy. You finally did it.", said Axel as he patted its back.

Nidoking had been wanting this for a long time and now it had finally done it.

"So, Marcus, you told us that you have something important to tell us. We are all here now. So, what is it?", asked Axel.

All the ghost-type Pokemons were already finished so there was no night raid and no need for Shedinja at night. Axel did position some guards at night just to be sure but he knew that there would be no battle at night.

"Axel, when I was training under Agnus (Gengar), I came to know crucial information. If we want to reach the champion rank, we have to have sufficient knowledge and understanding of one of the energies of our core type.", said Shedinja.

"What do you mean?"

"You must know that ghost-type core is divided into 3 types of energies. Darkness, soul, and shadow. If one wants to reach the champion rank, one must at least have sufficient knowledge and understanding of one of those energies. And if we want to reach master rank, we must master one of that energy."

"Marcus, are you sure about that information?", asked Axel.

"Yes, I am very sure."

"So, what type of energy are you trying to pursue?"

"All 3 types."

"Really? Are you sure? It might be extra hard to do it."

"Yes, I am very sure."

"Ok, then I will support you."

"Thanks, Axel."

This was new information for Axel. He didn't have Red with him to tell these things and Oak didn't bother to tell these things.

"This changes a lot of things.", said Axel to himself.

First of all, he didn't even know what type of energies there are in different cores. And what about the Pokemons that have 2 cores? Do they have to master more energies?

There were a lot of things that he had to consider. He now had to rely on Oak about these things. But first, he had to finish this tide. He could feel that the tide was going to be over soon and he needed to work a bit hard.
