Pokemon - A real story

Chapter 611: Violet City

Chapter 611: Violet City

After talking to Red briefly, Axel went towards Charizard to have a talk. He told me about the energies of the fire type and all the risks of mastering all types of energies. He wanted to ask Charizard what it wanted to do. Of course, he knew what it would choose.

"Except for the heat, I will master all types of energies.", said Charizard boldly.

"Charles, think about it for some time. First of all, we don't even how to master these energies. Marcus did say some things about it. But it might be different for fire typing."

"I don't care how much time it would take. I want to be a complete fire-type Pokemon.", said Charizard.

Seeing how serious Charizard was, Axel could not say no. Red had said that he should start to train his Pokemons in energies when they reach tier 3. Charizard and Shedinja were the closest to reach tier 3 right now while Slowemperor was already tier 3.

Slowemperor still needed some experience to be called a genuine tier 3 Pokemon. Axel also had a discussion with Red about psychic and ice typings. Slowemperor had 2 cores now. He wanted to know the requirements of those that had 2 typing. However, he didn't receive any good response.

"Axel, you are the only one who has a Pokemon that has 2 typings, and that Pokemon is a king-rank Pokemon. Most of the Pokemons that have 2 typings die before they reach king rank cause their cores are very unstable. So, I don't have any idea about the requirements for those Pokemons that have 2 typings."

Ding!

A special quest has been generated.

Ding!

Special quest: Have 20% mastery of at least 1 energy of each typing of Slowemperor.

Difficulty level: C

Rewards: Depends on performance

Penalty: Slowemperor cannot rank up to champion rank.

---

The quest did help Axel a bit but first, he had to know what were the types of energies for psychic typing and ice typing.

Axel and Red talked about it at length. Red did give him some suggestions but for some reason, Axel felt that this was not the complete answer. As per Red, these were the types of energies that the trainers had been training their Pokemons. So, there might be some hidden energies that they might not even know about.

Axel was curious about it and he wanted to explore other options.

Another week had passed now he was finally ready for the gym battle. He had already booked a ticket to Violet City for tomorrow. The plane ride was 2 days. He had also registered for the gym battle and it was going to be held after 4 days.

He wanted to give himself 1 day time for further preparation. He had a day left and he wanted to spend some quality time with his family. Red was also going home tomorrow. Since Axel was not going to be here, Red had nothing to do here. He was also missing his son.

"Red, are you trying to go on a difficult mission soon?", asked Axel.

"No, not now. I just came from a difficult mission and I will take rest for a couple of months now. Why do you ask?"

"Well, if you are going to take some difficult mission, do tell me and also tell Blue about it."

"Can I ask why?"

"Well, I cannot explain but the next difficult mission might be your last and this includes Blue too."

"How did you get the information? From the system of yours?"

"Yeah, you can say that. But the system doesn't tell me on what mission such a thing would happen but I feel that it is going to happen soon. I am just telling you this for you and Blue to take some precautions."

Red was dazed after hearing it. It was not every time you would hear about your own death.

"Thanks, Axel, I will keep that in mind and I will tell Blue too about it.", said Red.

Axel didn't know if this was the anime version or the game version of this world. There were many things in this world that were already different from anime and games like the manipulation of Arceus. However, if this was an anime version, then there was no Red or Blue when Ash and Gray started their journey.

Axel could tell for certainty that they had died in the future. He didn't know when they were going to die but it must be soon enough. Looking at the anime, Axel could tell that Ash and Gray didn't miss their dad so much. So, Red and Blue must have died pretty early.

Right now, Noah was very busy after being the mayor of the city. The city had recovered a lot of money from the previous mayor and now it was doing all okay. Even without the help from the league, it was going well.

At first, the tourists were hesitant to come here as there was no support from the league. But after some time, the hesitance had gone and the number of tourists was increasing at a good pace.

However, this also meant a lot of work for Noah.

Today, Noah had taken a leave as tomorrow Axel would be going out of the house.

"I also want to go and challenge gyms in the future.", said Agnes with a pout on her face. Living in the city had started to become boring for her. She was attending classes in the school and training her Pokemons and herself but this had started to become monotonous for her.

"Oh don't worry. Only 4 more years and then you can start your journey.", said Axel but this seemed to have the opposite effect on her.

"4 more years? How am I going to spend any time?"

"I will come back after a month or two and then we can go somewhere outside."

"Yes, that would be great.", said Agnes.

Axel had been at home for some time now and he wanted to explore. After winning the gym, he was going to explore the Johto region.

They had a huge barbecue at night. Axel's Squirtle, Magnemite, and Agnes's Squirtle had become best friends and now Agnes's Squirtle was sad that they had to become apart. Axel didn't want them to be apart but he also wanted his Pokemons to see the world and have some experience.

However, until they were 3 months old, they could not even train. So, leaving them here at home was also not a bad idea. Axel tried to convince them but they would not buzz off.

Their drama had started a week before. It had been a week and all 3 of them had started to sleep together. They would wake up together and do everything together.

After seeing that Axel could not convince them, he decided to leave them there.

"Squirtle.. Squit..."

"Squirtle.. Squit..."

"Magggg"

When Axel said that they could live together for 2 more months, all of them started to dance in happiness. It was weird and lovely at the same time. The young Pokemons were extremely cute.

"Listen Squirtle and you too Magnemite. I will come back after 2 months and then we will have to start our journey. Enjoy this vacation as much as you can but after that, we have to be serious.", said Axel.

Squirtle and Magnemite agreed to it. Axel also bought Squirtle black goggles like Axel's Squirtle. Agnes's Squirtle also wanted it so he bought it for it too but he could get one for Magnemite as it only had one eye. He didn't want to leave Magnemite alone so he made custom black goggles for it with only one eye.

Axel had a good time with his family at night with a small party. After spending some time with them, he started to realize how important they were in his life. He believed that he would not be standing here if he didn't have this family. The family gave him a sense of relief, a sense of closeness. He didn't want to lose it.

###

Next day,

Red and Axel were ready to go to the airport. Arron was going with them. He said his goodbyes to his family and then went to the airport.

"Good luck on your first Johto region gym battle.", said Red after shaking his hand.

Both of them were going their separate ways so this was goodbye for some time.

"Thanks, I will crush it."

"Good, I don't want to hear you losing the first gym battle of the Johto region. We have a reputation to maintain."

"Haha, I know. I will defeat that gym leader."

After some good conversation, both of them started to get ready for their plane.

###

2 days of flight was not a joke. Axel never liked the plane journey. He would be walking but it would take many months to reach by walking there. So, he had no choice.

After reaching Violet City, he first booked a room in a grand hotel. He had some money now and could spend it. Then he went shopping.

He had already planned his battle strategies and he never wanted to stress over it before a day of gym battle. He could see that there were many people in the city. He had been to Violet City before and the crowd was never so much.

"Hey what is going on?", asked Axel to a stranger.

"I heard that a renowned trainer Axel Blaze is going to compete tomorrow against Roy Falkner. I want to see that battle too. I don't think that this Kanto trainer could defeat Falkner."

"Oh, how much is the price of the ticket? I also want to see it.", said Axel.

"You can only dream about it right now. All the tickets have been booked. I heard that the ticket price went up to 20,000 Poke dollars. I am not going to waste so much money on the ticket."

"Then how are you going to see it?"

"Well, they are showing the battles on multiple screens live in many places. That only cost around 2-3k Poke dollars. I have already booked the ticket. Do you want to book it too? I can help you."

'If I started to book a ticket for it, how will you watch the battle.', thought Axel but didn't say out loud.

"Nah, I don't want to waste 2k Poke dollars on a gym battle.", said Axel and excused himself.

Axel was cursing Falkner from the inside. That guy was making so much money by using him. Axel had obviously used his trademark mask, fake beard, and mustache to hide himself. When he became famous, it became almost mandatory to use it in the cities.

Axel heard others talking to too and none of them were on the side of Axel winning this battle. Well, this was not his home ground, so that was expected.

He had seen Roy fight but he could tell that Roy was not as good as Kent or Morgan. He was average but Axel knew that Roy would still give him a run for his money.

Axel didn't want to shop for anything right now. So, he just went to a restaurant, had a good meal, and also fed his Pokemons. Then he went to his hotel room to rest. The battle could commence at 9 a.m. and he was told to attend 1 hour before the battle. So, he had to reach the gym at 8 a.m.

After saying goodbyes to his Pokemons, he went to sleep.
