Axel had seen that Venusaur had learned a new passive move called 'Voice of the forest'. However, it had been sealed. Celebi was basically telling them it would unlock it.
"The locket that I gave Venusaur was not a simple locket. It contained the power of the forest, its essence. Learning, the voice of the forest is not an easy task. Venusaur needed to be accustomed to forest and its essence. The locket did exactly that and now it is ready for learn this new move.
For you, the training will be different. I am not a good aura user but a better psychic user. I will train you on how to use psychic. Now I know that you guys have your own hierarchy of learning aura but learning psychic from me would be very helpful to you."
Axel nodded his head after hearing it. It would be great to learn some psychic moves from Celebi. This would really boost his speed in getting stronger.
Celebi really like 'Deep forest emergence' of Venusaur. As per Celebi, this move had a lot of potentials and can be used to unlock, 'Voice of the forest'.
As per Celebi, unlocking this move would be a major upgrade for Venusaur.
"If you are thinking that 'Voice of the forest' is something that you talk to the forest and ask them to help you, then you are partly right but you will also be partly wrong.
Venusaur is not me, so it could not communicate directly with the forest. However, it could have some influence on the forest and plant life. To have some influence on the forest and plant life, it must also have some sort of suppression or authority over them.
I am going to teach Venusaur how to have authority over it so that it can control it at its whim. It might not be as powerful as me as it could not directly communicate with them but this would be a significant boost to its power."
Celebi wanted to train Axel and Venusaur at the same time but Axel disagreed. He wanted to see how Venusaur would unlock that passive move. Celebi had nothing to say about it.
###
3 days have passed and most of the time, Venusaur's time was used in meditation. Axel also advised it to level up moves like 'Deep forest emergence', 'Multi-flowers', and 'Wood thorns'.
After observing Venusaur for a day, Axel also started his training. Celebi was teaching him 'Telekinesis'. Axel knew that 'Telekinesis' was a powerful move. It could literally do anything. He had been trying to learn this from Alakazam but so far, he had been unsuccessful.
"Axel, we should start with small things. First of all, try to lift this small pebble. Don't use your aura, use your psychic power.", said Celebi.
Axel had been using psychic power by using 'Mental communication' and 'Psychic resistance'. Now, he had to use that power to lift things. But it had been 3 days and he was not making any progress.
It must be said that Celebi was not a good teacher compared to Red. Axel had asked it many times, how to do it, and it didn't have a good answer. For it, psychic powers came naturally. It never had to work hard for it.
So, after 3 days of no success, Mew stepped in to help. Mew was also a psychic Pokemon and it was a powerful Pokemon too.
So for now, Celebi was helping Venusaur and Mew was helping Axel. Celebi was not a good teacher for Axel but it was an excellent teacher for Venusaur. It may be cause both of them were Pokemons.
###
After a week of coming here, Axel was still concentrating on the small pebble. This pebble had now been his worst enemy. It had been a week and he had not been able to lift it.
He could feel that his psychic stat was increasing but the pebble had been his biggest hurdle.
'Close your eyes and concentrate. Try to feel that pebble and slowly try to lift it.', thought Axel to himself. He could lift it easily by using aura but not psychic.
Then he opened his eyes and for the first time, his eyes glowed in purple color. The pebble started to float slowly and unsteadily.
"YES!!! I DID It!!!", shouted Axel in happiness. It had been a week and he had finally been able to lift that damn pebble.
"Nice, you have finally been able to lift the pebble. Do you now feel how you should manipulate the psychic energy?", asked Mew.
"Yes, I think, I got the hang of it. I still need some practice.", said Axel with a smile.
"Good. Train it for some more time and try to lift something heavier after that. I will teach you something if you can lift multiple objects at once and then are able to throw all of them to the opponent.", said Mew.
"That would take a lot of time. What are you going to teach me?", asked Axel.
"It has come to my notice that you are only training your swords and body. You don't have any experience. You need experience to fight with Pokemons and humans.
So, I will be teaching you that. However, first of all, you need to train your psychic powers."
"Thanks, but why are you helping me so much?", asked Axel.
"Well, the world is going haywire and Celebi seems to trust you. I also want to have some fun. By the way, MEW would take over me after 2 months and you might not be able to take training from me. So hurry up."
"But I am sure that I cannot complete it in 2 months."
"That is not my problem and MEW might also love to train you."
###
Mew was right about Axel not having any experience dealing with Pokemons or humans. He had spared with Red but that was it. He needed to get some experience. But right now, he needed to learn 'Telekinesis'. The system had still not recognized this as his move so he must do something bigger.
Psychic energy was a variant of aura. It was a part of the aura but it was also different. Using psychic energy showed that the user could manipulate aura at a higher level. Axel needed to master this if he wanted to master aura completely.
###
"Celebi, I need to reach my home after a month. How much time would be take for you to completely train Venusaur to unlock 'Voice of the forest'?", asked Axel.
"Don't worry about that. I have the power of time. Venusaur might need 1-2 months to learn the move. But only 4 weeks would pass in the outside world even if it took 2 months."
"Weren't you saying that you are the guardian of time and you cannot do such things like this?", asked Axel.
"Yes, I should not be doing things like this and if I am found out doing these things, then I would be in serious trouble. But I am taking a risk for you and Venusaur. I am betting on you. So, take full advantage of it."
###
After a month of coming here,
---
Ding!
The host has leveled up Telekinesis to level 10
---
Axel sat on the ground after he heard that notification. He could now finally pick up heavy objects like a sword or even a boulder with enough stamina. However, he could still not pick up multiple items. It was extremely hard to do it.
"Axel, I believe that Venusaur can learn that move in another 10-15 days. So, try to master Telekinesis as fast as you can.", said Mew.
"Why? I mean I could train it in my home too."
"Yes, you can but this place is special. This place is helping you in mastering telekinesis at a faster rate. You cannot master this move so fast in the outside world."
"What? Why didn't you tell me this? I would have trained even harder."
"I don't think that you can train harder than this."
It had been a month since Venusaur and Axel came here. Just as Mew had told, they had not even met a single wild Pokemon here. They were very rare. However, Axel had finally learned the move 'Telekinesis' and had also leveled it up to level 10.
Venusaur had also leveled up some of its moves and its stats had also increased but it was still far from reaching tier 2 king rank. It had also been battling against Celebi. It had not won even once but that was to be excepted.
"Mew, can you teach me how to fight with humans and Pokemons?", asked Axel.
"Do you really want to learn that right now? I mean, you can master Telekinesis rather than doing it."
"Yes, but I know that I need some time to master it even further. Right now, I am in a deadlock. So, I want to gather some experience."
"Well, if you say so but it is going to be painful."
"I know but I am ready."
"Ok, I will send you in an illusion where you will fight one Pokemon. Even if you get killed there, you will not die in real time but your progress will be realized. Are you ready for it?"
Axel nodded his head after hearing it. He was ready to fight.
He looked into Mew's eyes as they glowed in purple light and he felt that he was transported somewhere. When he opened his eyes, he realized that he was in the same place but Mew, Celebi, and Venusaur were not there. Instead of them, a Nidorino was there staring at him.
Axel could tell that it was an uncommon rank Pokemon.
Both of them stared at each other for some time and then both rushed to fight.
###
The battle was a massacre. Nidorino won the fight by a huge margin. Even though it was an uncommon rank Pokemon and Axel was an elemental rank Pokemon, he lost the fight very badly. Nidorino used moves like 'Horn attack' and 'Sludge bomb'. It also used other poison-type moves like 'Venom drench' and also moves like 'Sucker punch' and 'Focus energy'.
Axel only had 'Aura strike' to use against it. Since he was in the middle of battle, he could not concentrate well on using 'Telekinesis'. He needed some time for it to activate. Nidorino took that advantage. Axel did use 'Aura coat' to protect himself but that was not enough.
Finally, Nidorino won.
After the battle was over, Axel was out of the illusion. He realized how disadvantageous it was to fight a Pokemon. Pokemons had many moves that they could use to their advantage. They also had a natural battle instinct which humans didn't have.
Axel realized that he needed a lot of resistance to battle a Pokemon. So, he told Mew that he would only battle once per day to keep up. He would concentrate on his aura and psychic moves too.
###
Venusaur had also leveled up some of its moves.
---
Deep forest emergence (Venusaur) (Level 40): An area of 5 meters around it would be covered in tress, grasses, flowers, and vines. The flowers would bloom and release sleep and poison powder.
(Level 45): The trees and grasses would also try to bind the target.
Multi flowers (Venusaur) (Level 40): Instead of 2 flowers, there would be 4 flowers.
(Level 45): The effect of sleep powder and poison powder is heightened.
Sunny day (Venusaur) (Level 40): Is more powerful than before.
(Level 45): The effect can stay for 8 minutes.
(Level 50): The effect lasts for 13 minutes.
(Level 55): More powerful and now have 2 sunny days.
(Level 60): The power of grass-type moves would also increase while using this move.
Solar beam (Venusaur) (Level 40): is more faster.
(Level 45): Is more powerful and penetrating.
(Level 50): could use 2 solar beams instead of one.
(Level 55): The power of the move is instant.
(Level 60): The recharge time for using it again has significantly decreased.
---
'Sunny day' got a major upgrade as the move would also help in grass-type moves now. Other move upgrades were also helpful.
However, Venusaur still had not unlocked the move. Celebi was saying that Venusaur was doing very well and it would unlock after a few days. Axel was hopeful about it.
After 10 more days,
