"Nodorino, Let's show him what we can do," said Axel
Nidorino saw Axel panting. It saw Axel bleeding from the nose, mouth, and legs and it got angry. Nidorino may not be the most powerful Pokemon right now in Axel's team.
It could not even beat Beedrill. But Nidorino was the first Pokemon that Axel ever had. The Bond between them was much more than any other Pokemon. It was now determined to teach this Charizard a lesson.
"Are you both ready?", asked Blue again. It was also miserable for Blue to see this match. He knew how he felt when he was in Axel's place many years ago.
"Yes" X2
And BAMMM again!!!
Nidorino was splat on the ground. Axel too bent down a knee. After the end of the battle, Charizard had taken its aura off and now it was back again. Axel slowly stood up and so did Nidorino.
"Good, seems like you have accustomed to this level of aura and you have trained your Nidorino very well. It is trained better than your Beedrill. I am impressed.", said Oak.
Axel didn't reply. He was concentrating on his heartbeat and his leg muscles to calm down.
"Hmm.. Good. You are a good trainer. So why don't we increase the difficulty by a notch?", said Oak and then
BAMMMM!!!
Axel and Nidorino fell again. This time the pressure of Aura was almost twice than it was in the previous battle. Axel came to a horrible realization that Charizard had not even been serious before. It may not be even serious now.

It took them 6-7 minutes but both of them slowly stood up. The reason that Nidorino could handle Charizard Aura better than Beedrill was cause it was brought well by Axel.
All of its stats were maxed out before its evolution and with Mew's book guide on the ancient way, the physique of Nidorino was the best in Axel's team.
Beedrill had higher attack power than Nidorino. That was why Nidorino lost but Nidorino's defense was extremely good. Oak was impressed that a rare-ranked Pokemon could handle this type of Aura pressure.
The pressure of Aura in Nidorino was much more than that of Axel. Axel could not handle that amount of pressure right now and Oak and Charizard knew that.
"Nidooooo!!!" roared Nidorino.
This was a declaration that it was not backing down.
"Nidorino, use 'Focus energy' and use 'Horn Drill' with poison in it."
"Nido…" it said and used 'Focus energy' first and then started to rotate its horn. Poison was spewing from the horns and the color of the spinning horn was now purple.
Nidorino moved as fast as it could and tried to ram the horn into Charizard's chest. Since Charizard was taller than Nidorino, it jumped to connect the move in Charizard's chest. But Charizard blocked it with its hand which was covered in dragon scales.
The sound of metal colliding came from the move. Sparks flew out and Nidorino jumped back to maintain its balance.
Charizard had received 0 damage again.
Those dragon scales seemed very hard and durable. Even though the Horn was coated with poison, Charizard was not poisoned at all. Its resistance to poison was too high.
"Nidorino, use Sludge Bomb.", said Axel.
A huge sludge of poison came from Nidorino's mouth and it flew towards Charizard and BAMMMM!!
Dust flew off from the impact. When the dust cleared Axel saw that Charizard had received 0 damage. Axel was getting frustrated.
"Nidorino, use 'quick attack' and then 'Horn Drill' and give it your all."
Since even 'Sludge bomb' didn't make Charizard poisoned, Axel came to a decision that the poison of Nidorino was not potent enough for Charizard.
Nidorino also knew why Axel said that and that had hurt its pride. Nidorino was a Poison-type Pokemon and it had a Poison core. So, Seeing that its Poison was not effective, it was angry.
It used its 'Quick attack' and moved fast. Charizard dodged the first attack but the second attack hit in Charizard's chest again. This time, Nidorino was using its full power. The Power was so strong that, Nidorino as flown out from the impact and crashed into the wall. Dust arose from the impact and when it settled, Axel saw that Charizard was Okay but now, it had a little scar on the chest.
When Nidorino saw the scar, it smiled and then fainted.
The second Pokemon was down. And only Shedinja was left. Axel was not going to use Charmeleon in this fight. Seeing that Charizard's Aura was so strong, he knew that Charmeleon could not handle it.
"Go!! Marcus.", shouted Axel.
And Shedinja came into View.
"Hmm.. A Shedinja, he has an interesting Pokemon.", said Blue.
"Marcus, See that Scratch there in its chest. That was the only amount of damage that Nidorino and Beedrill could do. That Pokemon is very Powerful. Let's show that mother fucker what we are.", shouted Axel.
Shedinja was the most powerful Pokemon on his team right now. Even if that was not the case, Axel always had a sort of confidence when he was with Shedinja. It was a type of feeling and aura that Axel always felt.
"Are you both ready?", asked Blue for the 3rd time
"Yes" X2
And then Charizard's mood turned serious.
This time, when it excluded its Aura, Axel held it in. Blood was coming out of his mouth but he held it in. Shedinja also didn't fall down. It was going down but it held it in just as it was about to touch the ground.
The pressure of Aura was different from gravity but it was similar. Shedinja had been training in its gravity for a long time so it was used to such pressure. Shedinja was obviously angry by seeing the status of Axel right now. It was infuriated. And then….
"You are an interesting Pokemon. Though the world calls you the weakest of all, you have a good mindset to handle my Aura."
This was Charizard speaking. Its voice was mature and sounded like an old man.
Axel then realized that Charizard could speak. It was a master-level Pokemon, of course, it could but Axel was under so much pressure that he never thought of it.
"Hmph…. A mortal like try to insult me in front of my trainer? You have some guts.", said Marcus.
Obviously, others could only hear "Shed.. Shedinja" but Charizard could understand it perfectly. It got angry by that comment.
"A mortal? So you think that you are Arceus himself? You have some guts kid.", roared Charizard.
'What the fuck is it saying?', thought Axel.
"I may not be Arceus, But I am Marus and I am Death itself.", roared Shedinja.
