Chapter 694: Training Young Pokemons
"Now, let's talk about Slowemperor. You said that you wanted to go for 'Ice Make' and 'Illusion'. Now, I cannot say anything about 'Ice make' as none of my Pokemons have explored that direction but there is something I can do about 'Illusion'.
I have a Xatu who is a champion-rank Pokemon and it has a good understanding of illusion. It would be perfect for Magnus.", said Red.
"Thanks, Red. I don't know what I would do without you.", said Axel. He was really grateful for Red's help. It was not that he could not do it but it would take a lot of time as Axel had no idea where to start.
After talking with Red, Axel went on to discuss his own training. As of right now, Axel was training on 'Enhanced endurance'. There were multiple requirements to achieve it.
Should hold breaths for 1 hour Have to tolerate extreme hunger for 4 days and thirst for 3 days. Have to tolerate extreme physical pain like having bones completely crushed, being corroded by acid, and resisting painful headaches for a prolonged period of time.
Axel believed that the second requirement was the easiest. He believed that he could do it on the first try. The first requirement was a bit hard but with enough practice, Axel could complete it. However, the third requirement was just insane.
The third requirement basically said that the user would have to have a proper rational mind while his bones were crushed or his body was corroded with acid.
First of all, if his bones were crushed repeatedly or his body was corroded by acid to achieve it, his bones may never be the same and there might be some permanent damage. Let's forget the amount of pain he would have to suffer and have a rational mind to think of other things while that was happening.
Yet, it was possible to do it with the help of aura. This was not just the test of willpower but also the test of manipulating aura. For the first requirement, Axel would have to manipulate the aura in such a way that aura would be the substitute for air. He should not feel any sort of discomfort while doing it.
The same was true for the second and third requirements. Axel would also have to manipulate aura in such a way that even if his bones were crushed, aura would help him reduce the pain so that he could have a rational mind. Key word, 'reduce' not 'forget'.
"Axel, I know you have to tap on this grand energy but isn't this too brutal for anyone? I think you should think of other ways to power up yourself.", suggested Red.
These were the initial requirements to master aura. Red could not imagine what Axel would have to face in the later stage.
"No, I believe that I should finish this path. As I have already started it, I will finish it.", said Axel.
"I truly commend you on your bravery. To be honest, I would have taken a different route.
Now, coming to this third requirement, I believe that I have a solution.", said Red.
"Really, what is it?", asked Axel.
"It is Xatu. Xatu has the power of illusion. So, if you are in the illusion world of Xatu and you suffered these injuries and became able to process it, you might fulfill the requirement.", said Red.
"That is possible.", remarked Axel.
"However, before we start on the third requirement, you must first complete other requirements.", suggested Red.
"Yes, I will do it."
###
Anges was lucky to her Squirtle. Agnes's Squirtle was very hardworking and mature for its age. This was also the reason why it was the strongest of all 5 of them. It was just shy from evolving to Wartortole.
Axel had already given her an Everstone locket for Squirtle, so it was going to take some time.
One of the reasons, why they were growing so fast was due to Vitamins. Since Axel now had complete knowledge of how to raise a Pokemon, the process was easy for the newcomers.
Axel thought for some time and decided on the move that Squirtle would be learning.
The first would be 'Wave crash'.
It was a powerful physical type move where the user shrouds himself in water and slammed into the target with its whole body to inflict damage. This would also damage the user quite a lot.
There were actually 2 purposes for learning this move. First was that even it wanted to be a special attacker, it needed to have some physical moves. Secondly, it was to train the defense of Squirtle.
This move would also damage the user quite a lot as the charge was very powerful. Training in this move would not only harden its shell but also it overall defense and the capacity to take hits.
The second and third were 'Water pulse' and 'Chilling water'.
One was a water-type move and another was an ice-type move. Axel didn't know if it would go to the ice route in the future as water type was very versatile. These were special type moves and it was just for better coverage and training on water and ice type moves.
Squirtle already had a lot of healing and defensive-type moves. He also wanted it to learn moves like 'Protect' and 'Iron defense' but that would be in the future.
Finally, the final move was 'Ice spinner'.
In this, the user would cover their feet in thin ice and twirl around, slamming into the target. This move's spinning motion also destroys the terrain.
This could not only be used to attack but also to dodge and increase the speed of Squirtle and Axel wanted to focus on the latter part.
###
After thinking about Squirtle, he went right to it and told its training plans. As of right now, he didn't want it to use a TM as he wanted it to personally master these moves. These would be a basic foundation for it to grow.
Axel then went to all 3 Magnemites. First of all, he decided to name all 3 of them as it was creating a lot of confusion.
"You will be Ennie, you will Mennie, and you will be Minny.", said Axel not proud of his naming sense. Since they had just come out of the baby stage, he didn't want to give them domineering names and they were too cute for that.
'Well, when it evolves, I will give it a different name.', thought Axel.
Meanwhile, Ennie, Mennie, and Minny were happy to get their nicknames. Squirtle was not happy as it had not gotten a nickname. The one who was the most jealous was Togetic. It had trained a lot and was a lot stronger than others but it had not gotten a nickname. What should it do to get one?
Obviously, it could ask Axel about it but its pride didn't let it ask such nonsense. It had a reputation to maintain.
After thinking about it for a long time, Axel made a decision that Ennie, Mennie, and Minny would learn the same move and they would level all of their moves to at least level 40 before they evolve to Magneton.
All three of them would be learning a variety of moves:
Metal sound Electric terrain Mirror coat Discharge Lock on Charge beam Iron Defense Steel Beam
These moves were carefully chosen for Magnemite. He also wanted some overpowered moves like 'Thunder' but since Magnemite had just gotten over the baby stage, such powerful moves were not suitable for it.
"All of you will learn these moves. Some of you already have learned this move. So, you will teach your brothers about those moves. All of you will train on these moves until I am satisfied. In addition to it, you will also train on 'Thunder wave'.", said Axel.
If all these of them have a different variation of modification of those moves when they level up to 40 and Axel evolves them and combines them, then what would be the result? Axel was excited to know about it.

"Lucario, just close your eyes for some time and think of aura and extend it like a sword.", said Axel.
"Lucari..."
Lucario closed its eyes and sensed the aura inside its body. It then manipulated the aura inside its body to its hand. Both of its hands glowed in blue light and Lucario started to shape the aura into a sharp sphere. The aura extended but it could not maintain the form and it disappeared.
"Sigh, it is okay. You must need a bit of training. Rest for some time and try again.", said Axel.
Axel wanted Lucario to use aura and extend into the form of a sword in each hand. He then wanted to learn swordsmanship and fight with it. However, it was turning out to be a difficult task. He also wanted this new move to be a steel-type move. That added the difficulty.
After a lot of time, Lucario decided that it would have a steel core. This came as a surprise for Axel as he thought that it would go for fighting type. Steel was a defensive type but Lucario had an attacking nature. Fighting was more suited for it but for some reason, Lucario believed that the steel type was very powerful.
Axel didn't want it to have a steel core but since Lucario was so excited about it, he agreed. He would respect Lucario's wishes. That was why he wanted this new move to be steel-type.
Lucario was one of the youngest Pokemon in Axel's team and now it was training to reach rare rank. It was already an uncommon-rank Pokemon after its final evolution.
Axel believed that Lucario would be able to create this new move after a few days as it was close to perfection.
###
Axel then looked at other young Pokemons. The first was Togetic. It had already gotten its rank-up condition and Axel just wanted it to have all the stats at S rank and create a new passive. It had upgraded a lot of its moves to level 40 and 45.
---
Flamethrower (Togetic) (Level 40): The fire beam is more concentrated than before and its speed and powers has increased.
(Level 45): The temperature of the flames had increased and it would further increase while using 'Sunny day'.
Extrasensory (Togetic) (Level 40): The target is picked up and thrown on the ground with power. There is a 25% chance that the target will flinch.
(Level 45): Repulsion and attraction could be done if the target is near the user.
Egg defense (Togetic) (Level 40): The stamina consumption is lower and it could be used 2 times during the battle.
(Level 45): The defense of the user has increased.
Wish (Togetic): It could wish for either an increase in health or an increase in special attack.
Sunny day (Togetic) (Level 40): The power of fire-type moves will increase to 50% during the time of 'Sunny day'.
---
Axel realized that even for a fairy-type Pokemon like Togetic, it was difficult to upgrade a fairy-type move. Creating a new fairy-type move was on another level too.
Axel was sure that Togetic would rank up in this coming month and he would be more than ready for the second gym.
It was now time to look at other Pokemons and their progress.
