For a 19 year old girl to have a tier 1 king rank Pokemon was a huge achievement. Axel knew for sure that any normal trainer could not do it without a proper backing. Axel had his system, Oak and other gym leaders from the Kanto region including Venu family and Lance's family for support.
'Does that mean I made another enemy?', thought Axel.
With how unstable Machamp was and how angry Noir looked, she was not going to let this go any time soon. However, Axel just didn't give a damn. He had lot of enemies and he would not mind adding one to the list.
Axel looked at the stats of Alakazam:

---
It was a powerful Pokemon. It was close to reaching tier 2 but Axel knew that it would take some time. Axel thanked the Arceus that it had yet to learn a pre-domain move. If it had known a pre-domain move, the power of Alakazam would have been at another level. Comparing the stats, Gogoat was more powerful than Alakazam but that was not the only thing that would determine the battle.
If it was before, Gogoat might have lost the battle but now,
"Heheh….."
Axel gave a creepy smile to Noir which freaked her out a bit.
'What is he hiding?', thought Noir.
Noir was not confident in winning this battle but her Alakazam was the most powerful Pokemon in her team and she knew that Gogoat was also a tier 1 king-rank Pokemon.
"Are you both ready for battle?", asked the referee.
"Yes"
"Yes"
"Ok, let the battle begin!!", shouted the referee.
"Alakazam use 'Calm mind' and 'Reflect'"
'Calm mind' was the go-to move for psychic Pokemon like Alakazam as it would increase its special attack and special defense. Reflect would reduce the damage from physical attack. However, there were some glaring flaws. Like using 'Reflect', it would only cover one side of the user but what if the enemy attacked from another side?
"Gogoat, use 'Growth', 'Calm mind' and 'Wood armor'", said Axel.
Since 'Reflect' had such a glaring problem, Noir had a solution to it. She told Alakazam to use 'Reflect' 4 more times as it covered all the sides. After seeing the power of its 'Horn Leech', she didn't want to take any chances as Alakazam had a weak defense.
How wrong she really was. Even though Gogoat had an incredible attack stat, most of its moves were special in nature and its special attack stat was not to be underestimated. Alakazam had only used 'Clam mind' one time while Gogoat had used 'Growth' 2 times, 'Calm mind' 3 times, and also activated its new move 'Wood armor'. The 'Sunny day' was already up in the air and 'Grassy Terrain' was also present.
Gogoat was now at a significant advantage compared to Alakazam.
Axel looked at some of the updated moves of Gogoat. Even though it didn't train as much as others for a long period of time, it still did train a minimum amount and most of its moves had leveled up.
---
Grassy terrain (Gogoat): (Level 40): Only helps the user, not the enemy.
(Level 45 ): should increase health by a good margin and it should also create a lot of grass around you.
(Level 50): The grass should be sharp with minuscule blade on each of them. They should be able to hurt your enemy but not yourself.
(Level 55): The power this move increases during 'Grass domain'
Growth (Gogoat): (Level 40): Height and power increased.
(Level 45): The weight and the height has increased and the power of the Pokemon has also increased
(Level 50): The defense and special defense of the user has increased.
(Level 55): It's attack and special attack would also increase. It could use the move for 10 minutes and after that it would suffer weakness for 2 hours.
Wood Armor (Gogoat): The power of 'Field control' would create an armor covering the body of Gogoat. This would increase its defense and special defense but would also slow it down a bit.
---
As of right now, Gogoat could only use 'Growth' 2 times but 'Growth' had become its overpowered move. The move increased the height, attack stats, special attack stat, defense, and special defense stat by a huge margin but due to all these increase in power, it could only use this move for 10 minutes.
Everyone was surprised to see the new form of Gogoat. It was almost twice as big as before. Its whole body was covered with spiky wooden armor and it looked very intimidating.
"Alakazam, 'Teleport' and then use 'Thunder wave'"
Noir wanted to decrease the speed of Gogoat as it was very fast and due to some weird move, it looked even more menacing than before.
The 'Thunder wave' did hit Gogoat but it didn't paralyze it. Due to the increase of special defense and defense by such a huge margin, Gogoat could take the hit.
Gogoat then used 'Grass pledge' and created a pillar of sharp grass but Alakazam was able to dodge it. Alakazam then used 'Confusion' which did hit Gogoat but it was not confused.
It knew that it had to finish the battle as soon as possible due to 'Growth'. So, it went all offensive. It then used the move 'Grassy domain'.
Suddenly, the color of the grass that was in the stadium changed. It became more greener and vibrant. It felt as if those grasses had come alive. Alakazam also felt pressure after Gogoat used this move. 'Grass domain' had also leveled up nicely.
---
Grass Domain (Gogoat) (Level 40): Can freely move the grass around the domain with less stamina.
(Level 45): The speed and reaction of the user increase in this domain.
(Level 50): Can sustain the domain for 8 minutes. The power of grass-type moves has increased.
---
Even though Gogoat had not started its barrage of attacks, Noir knew that something was wrong. She already knew that it was a pre-domain move, which showed that this Gogoat was far more powerful than what she had thought.
"Alakazam, use 'Psychic terrain' and then use 'Calm mind'"
Alakazam was able those moves but Gogoat fired up with 'Solar beam'. It got hit by the move but Alakazam was able to tank it as its special defense had increased a lot by using 'Calm mind' 3 times.
Without hearing Noir, it used 'Confusion' again, and this time with a lot of power. The 'Confusion' did manage to confuse Gogoat this time and then Alakazam used 'Expanding force' which sent Gogoat crashing into the ground. Its special attack had increased a lot after using 'Calm mind'. Using 'Calm mind' and then a psychic attack move was a deadly combination.
Due to its defense and wood armor, Gogoat was not hurt so badly and after getting hit by 'Expanding force', it had come out of confusion but just before it was ready to teach this Alakazam a lesson, it got hit by another attack and then everything went blank.
###
"Alakazam, use 'Illusion'", said Noir.
Before, Axel believed that this new move must create an illusion to the enemy and it was not a powerful move. He believed that Gogoat could handle it but after seeing the dead eyes of Gogoat that were showing no reaction, Axel knew that he had messed up.
He immediately concentrated on the status page of Alakazam and saw the move description.
---
Illusion: Send an invisible psychic wave that would put the enemy in the illusion. During the illusion, the enemy cannot move. The power of this move is heightened if the enemy is inside 'Psychic terrain' or hit by a psychic move before. The power of this move is heightened even more if the enemy is not calm while being hit by the attack.
---
"Damn it!", shouted Axel.
The move was not as powerful as he had thought. But since Gogoat was inside the 'Psychic terrain', was hit by multiple psychic moves before, and was also very angry and not calm, it affected Gogoat a lot.
Slowemperor also knew some illusion moves and Axel knew that Gogoat would have to first know that it was in the illusion and then use all of its willpower to get out of this scenario.
It was all up to it right now.

Gogoat's POV Starts
"Where am I?"
Gogoat opened its eyes and started to look around. It could not remember where it was before and why was it on a big grass field. There were only green grasses from what it could see. The green grasses looked as big as the blue ocean cause Gogoat could not see any more than that.
For some odd reason, it could not remember how it came here and it could not also remember its past.
"What is happening to me?", it said to itself. As it was looking around, it found a black dot. It was so far away that Gogoat could not see what it really was and the only reason it could spot the dot was due to its color. The color was dark and since it was covered in green grass, it could be spotted.
It slowly started to walk toward the single dot and transformed into multiple dots. It could also tell that the dots were coming towards it. After walking for a few minutes, it could finally see what they really were and that was the time that it froze.
"Freta?", it shouted in surprise.
"Olivia?, so you finally came.", said Freta and she ran towards Gogoat and gave her a big hug.
Gogoat was surprised. What was happening? It could see its previous trainer who had died under the attack of Hypno. It could also see its previous friends that were under its trainer that had also died under that Hypno. Gogoat was able to take revenge on that Hypno but it could never forget its previous trainers and friends.
"What is happening?"
"Well, you are dead just like us. I thought that you would live much longer but I guess we could finally meet.", said Freta.
"I died?"
"Yes. But I am happy that you could take that revenge on Hypno.", said Freta.
Everything was confusing. But it was happy that it could finally meet its friends at last. It started to spend some time with its friends and then it slowly started to remember. It remembered that it was under a new trainer, Axel Blaze.
It just could not believe that it had died. But it was not angry or sad about it. For some reason, it felt peaceful. It felt happy to meet its old trainer after such a long time.
They talked for about 15 minutes and it was then that it started to doubt the validity of everything.
First of all, its trainer was acting very different from what it was remembered before. Freta said that she felt happy that It took revenge on Hypno. But she was not that type of trainer.
She would focus on her safety more than anything else. She also said that she was happy that Gogoat died cause she could finally meet it. But that didn't make any sense cause its trainer never said those types of things.
Slowly it started to doubt that this was not its previous trainer. It tried hard to remember the last thing before it came here but it just could not. However, after calming itself for some time, it slowly started to remember, and then it hit Gogoat.
It was fighting against an Alakazam and Axel had told it that it knew a move called Illusion. Everything became clear for it and it glared at Freta who was also an illusion.
"How dare you? How dare you play with my emotions?", it shouted at Freta.
Freta was someone to whom it owed its life to. She was very precious for Gogoat and now some nobody was manipulating her memories. It could not control its anger.
"Oh, so you figured it out. But what are you going to do about it?", asked Freta with an evil smile.
Gogoat realized that it had to get out of this illusion. It closed its eyes and used all of its power that it could to get out of it. Suddenly cracks started to happen in the sky and Freta was shocked.
"How? How could you be so powerful?", asked Freta with disheveling face.
