If one were to look just at its stats, it was weaker than Axel's Mankey but the battle would not be decided just by that. He could not see the level of its moves but he could say that it was just as strong as his Mankey.
[For this battle, Liza's Mankey would be called Mankey 1]
"Let the battle Begin!!"
"Mankey, 'Focus energy'"
"Mankey, 'Focus energy'"
Both of them told their Pokemons to use the same move. 'Focus energy' was the cornerstone for Mankey. Axel could say that Liza was a good trainer.
"Mankey, use 'Focus punch'"
"Use, 'Fury swipes'"
Due to 'Fury swipes' that came earlier, Mankey could not concentrate and could not use 'Focus punch'. So, he told it to use 'Karate chop' which did connect.
The battle went on. There was no defending. It was just a physical attack from both sides.
Mankey did dodge 'Focus blast' with a hair breath but it was hit by 'Fire punch'. It also used 'Close combat' and it hit Mankey 1 all over its body. Both Pokemons were equally injured and they looked like they had the same stamina.
However, the tables turned when Axel told it to use 'Beat up'.
'Beat up' was an interesting move. It would summon all the Pokemon in Axel's party and they will attack the opponent at the same time.
Now, looking at its description, it was a powerful move. If Mankey could summon all the Pokemons in Axel's party then Mankey 1 would definitely lose the battle.
Axel had many powerful Pokemon in his team. If it could only summon Charizard, then the battle was over.
However, there were a lot of restrictions on the move. First of all, Mankey could not summon those Pokemon that were stronger than it.
Secondly, since the move was not mastered very well, it could not summon all the members of Axel's party. At most, it could only summon 1 or 2 Pokemons.
Thirdly, the Pokemon could only use one move and then they would disappear.
Fourthly, the Pokemons that were summoned could only use physical type moves.
And finally, it could only use the move 1 time in a battle. The cooldown of the move was around 24 hours.
So, the move was weak and it was basically based on luck. That was the reason why trainers didn't normally train Pokemon in this move. The move was also extremely hard to learn.
Mankey could only learn it cause it was an egg move and it already knew about the move.
But this time, luck on on its side. When it used 'Beat up', it was able to summon 2 Pokemons. They were Bagon and Totodile.
Both of the Pokemon disappeared and then reappeared near Mankey. They both rushed towards Mankey 1. Bagon used 'Head butt', its highest level move and Totodile used 'Bite'.
Both of the moves connected and then both of them disappeared. Mankey then used 'Close combat' but Mankey 1 was able to use 'Endure' to endure that hit.
After that, the battle was over as Mankey delivered a powerful 'Focus punch' to Mankey 1
Mankey 1 had fainted.
"Mankey had lost the battle. Axel and Mankey win this round. Axel had won.", announced Frank.
###
"Axel, since you gave advice to Frank, can you give me some advice too? You are more experienced than me.", said Liza.
"Of course, I have no problem with it."
"So, what did I do wrong?"
"You were very excited for the battle. As a trainer, you have to be very calm in any situation. If your Pokemon notices that you are panicking, then they will also panic.
Your battle strategy is good enough. You will earn more once you continue your journey but the most important thing that your Pokemon lack is their physical stats. Your Pokemon must have a very good foundation at the early stages."
"Thanks, I will think about it. It has been helpful fighting with you."
"It was my pleasure."
Gyro had given a huge discount to Axel and also Frank in training their Pokemons. So, that was the least he could do. Now, his new Pokemons had their first battle.
It was now time to go to Aeus island and he wanted them to experience even more battles.
###
At evening,
---
Ding!
Venusaur has learned a new move. Please name the move.
---
"Finally, you have learned the move. I am happy for you.", said Axel.
"Please name the move 'multi flowers.'", said Axel.
He knew that the move name was not very creative but that was the only name he could come up with right now.
---
Ding!
The move has been named.
---
Axel then looked at the description of the move.
---
Multi flowers: Venusaur could create 1 or 2 flowers from the ground. The flowers would have the properties to release sleeping powder or poison powder in the area.
---
That was the exact same thing he wanted in this move. When Venusaur would be able to create a forest, then this move could come in handy. Venusaur had completed one of the conditions for the rank up but Axel knew that it was still very far from becoming a king rank Pokemon.
"Venusaur, now you need to concentrate on mastering your ability. Think what you want it to do. If you are having any problems, come to me."
###
Next day,
---
Ding!
Beedrill's 'Bug house' has been leveled up to 40
---
Axel was eying this development. He quickly looked at the move description of the move.
---
Bug house: Beedrill could now meditate and gather bug-type energy and hold it for 2 hours.
---
This was a very good development in the move. First, Beedrill could carry the bug-type energy for 2 hours instead of 20 minutes and then it could gather the energy by meditating.
"Good job Beedrill. You finally did it. Now take some rest. We will go tomorrow.", said Axel and patted its head.
###
"So, you are going huh?"
"Yes, I plan to go to the Aues island. I may come here after some months."
"I can see that you are a very hard-working trainer. I hope you have good luck in the future.", said Gyro shaking hands with Axel.
Axel said his goodbyes to Gyro and then went to his hotel room to rest. Tomorrow is going to be a big day for Axel. They were going to go to the new island and they will be facing new challenges.
He was excited to go to the new place but he knew that he should also be very careful about it.
Thinking about all these things, Axel went to sleep.
###
Tring.. Tring..
Tring.. Tring….
Katchak..
"Hello."
"Hey man, where the hell were you? I have been trying to reach you for weeks.", said Axel.
"Well, I am in a special training zone. The line of the phone was cut off. So, why were you trying to call me for weeks?"
"Can't a friend call another friend and ask how he is doing?"
"Oh come on, Axel. We both know you have an agenda to call me."
Axel had been trying to call Lance for weeks. He wanted to know the place where he could get the resources for dragon-type Pokemons. Lance was from a dragon-type family and he must have some lead on it.
"Well, there is one thing I need from you."
"Spill it out."
"I need the resources for dragon-type Pokemons for my Bagon. You are a successor of dragon type family so I know that you know something about it."
"I knew you were calling me for some help.", said Lance.
"Ok, I was but I also wanted to know how you were doing."
"Fine, but I must disappoint you on this."
"What do you mean? You don't know about it?"
"I know about it but I cannot get you anything."
"I don't understand."
"You see, these type of resources are very rare and there are only selective places where you can find them. We are not the only famous dragon-type families in this world. There are others too. So, the dragon-type families had bought those lands where these types of resources are found and then we have made a group.
As per the group rules, only dragon-type families could benefit from it. I could get these resources but I cannot get it for you. The resources are tightly checked every time."
"That is bullshit. So, how are other trainers going to get these types of resources, if only the dragon-type families could get access to it."
"They cannot. The world is not fair my friend."
"I can give you money for it. Can't you just slip some of them out?"
"Axel, I may be able to slip some of them out by talking to my father but you would need those resources for quite some time. I cannot slip it out for all those times now."
"Don't worry. I only need it for 4 months. I am going to go to Aeus island and will stay there for 4 months. Can you please tell your father about it? After I come from there, I will think something about it."
"I think I can manage that. I will deliver you on the plane."
"What do you mean you will deliver me on the plane?", asked Axel.
Lance then gave an evil smile and said, "You might not know this but I am also coming to this Aeus island."
"Really? Who else is coming?"
"Me and Ryker."
"What about Lyra and Lorelai?"
"They don't have a pseudo-king rank Pokemon. So, their parents didn't let them come with us."
"But I thought that you need to have a team of king-rank Pokemons to go there. Why are you guys coming then? Isn't it dangerous?"
"Oh, you would want that, don't you? You don't want us to advance and explore. Only you want to explore."
"Hey, I don't mean that. I am just saying what I heard."
"Ok, you are right. It is true that it is very dangerous out there. We are taking a risk. This is already the fourth year for the Kanto region to claim the island. It will only be there for the next year and I am confident that I cannot have a king-rank Pokemon by that time.
So, I am taking a chance, a risk. That is also why I was training by switching off my phone. I must say, I have grown stronger. I think Ryker is also thinking the same."
"Ok, then I will meet you on the plane.", said Axel and then hung up the phone.
###
"So, are you ready to go the Aeus island?", asked a man to Axel and Frank.
Axel and Frank were now at the airport of the Violet City. The plane that was going to take them to Aeus island was quite big and there were already some passengers on the plane.
The question was asked by one of the passengers. The man looked like he was a soldier. He had a very robust body and he was a middle-aged man.
"Yes sir, we are ready to go. Can you tell me the details of the island more clearly?", asked Axel.
"Just wait for some time, my boy. Others are also coming. We will first go to the Kanto region and gather all the trainers that will be going there. Then I will brief all of you at the same time."
Axel then looked at Frank. He was very nervous. He must because he was not as strong as Lance, Ryker or Axel. He was taking a huge risk by coming to this island.
[The name of the island has changed from Aeos to Aeus]
