As of, how Bulbasaur could learn new moves too fast? It was obviously with the help of TMs. Living with Oak, he had free access to such things.
Now coming to Nidorino, it was a bit complicated. As per stats, Nidorino was the best on Axel's team. It had been raised well and it had a good mastery of the moves too.
But unlike Shedinja, Beedrill or Bulbasaur Axel had not thought much about its modified or evolved or new moves. Axel didn't have much experience with poison typing so he thought to give himself a week to think about it.
For Shedinja, Its stats right now was:
---
Pokemon's name: Shedinja (Age- 1.6 years)
Pokemon Nickname: Marcus
Ability: Wonder Guard
Hidden ability: None
Potential: Red
Health: 30/30 Attack: B
Agility: A++ Defense: C+
Sp. Atk: A Sp. Def: D++
Moves: Hypnosis (Lvl 24), Gust (Lvl 15), Harden (Lvl 10 max), Shadow sneak (Lvl 25), Endure (Lvl 21), Dream eater (Lvl 23), Tackle (Lvl 10 max), Agility (Lvl 10)*, Gravity (Lvl 9), Bug buzz (Lvl 12), Shadow ball (Lvl 4), Shadow Jump (Lvl 3)
Cores: Ghost (100%)
Hidden Power: Psychic (0%)
---
Of the current moves, Axel wanted Shedinja to focus on, 'Hypnosis', 'Shadow sneak', 'Dream eater', 'Agility', 'Gravity', 'Bug buzz', 'Shadow ball', and 'Shadow Jump'.
Axel wanted Shedinja to learn 2 new moves which were 'Substitute' and 'Ally switch'. He had quite big plans for these 2 moves. He was staying at Oak for 2 months. So, for the 1st month, he wanted to master these 10 moves and bring them to an acceptable level.
Most of the moves have good mastery but 'Shadow ball', 'Shadow jump', 'Substitute' and 'Ally switch' didn't.
He didn't want Shedinja to make Day 1 and Day 2 plans like Bulbasaur since it was pretty mature enough to make a routine for itself.
Axel just wanted Shedinja, Nidorino, Beedrill and Charmeleon to fight with Oak's Pokemon (Not the main team as he could not make any dent to it) once every 3 days, to get the battle experience. Bulbasaur was still too young to fight at regular intervals.
Now, coming to Charmeleon. He had made plans for it but he was not going to tell it until it realizes its mistakes and apologize.
And Finally Beedrill.

Beedrill didn't have any new moves to learn. As of right now, Axel was content with this. He just wanted it to master the existing moves except, 'Poison sting', 'Electroweb', and 'Harden'.
Axel also wanted to maximize Bug type core to 100% like Shedinja. And he wanted it to improve 'Resolve' from stage I to Stage II. He knew that it would be extremely hard for it to do it right now. But it had to start sometime.
It was still 5 days, until Absol hatched from its egg. Axel was very excited about its new Pokemon.
Shedinja, Nidorino, Charmeleon and Beedrill were instructed to fight one of Oak's Pokemon (Not from the main team) every 3 days. So, for the next week, they fought it 2 times and none of them was able to win.
Even the worst of Oak's Pokemon were Pseudo-King ranked. Even though the Pokemon lowered their attacks and defense to a considerable level, Axel's team could not beat the experience that Oak's team had.
Shedinja gave a beautiful performance but it was still defeated in the end. Charmeleon now could feel the difference between its companions as Axel was not instructing it. It was slowly realizing that having a trainer was different than training itself.
Except for Bulbasaur, Magikarp and Gogoat, none of the others were friendly to it. So, it was starting to feel alone and outcasted too. It was starting to realize that it had made a mistake.
But Axel wanted it to apologize first. He could not have his Pokemons disobeying him. He also felt bad for Charmeleon but he had to be strict.
The 7 days of training had some positive results for the team. Since there were staying in Oak's castle, there was no scarcity of food and resources, the Pokemons developed fast.
One of the main reasons for their fast development was due to Axel's talent 'Overgrowth'. Since they had miserably lost to Charizard and other Pokemons of Oak's team, they had come to realize how weak they were. So, they wanted to grow stronger and all of them worked hard, even Charmeleon.
###
All of them, Axel, Oak, Blue, Daisy, Absol (King ranked) and Axel's team were now inside the research center. They were in a circle formation and inside the circle was a dark-colored Egg. It was the egg of Absol. All of them wanted to see the hatching process but Absol should see Axel first to consider him as a trainer.
So, Oak told everyone to back away. Slowly the egg started to move and wiggle. Cracks started to form from the inside and Axel could see a small Pokemon trying its best to come out. Axel knew that he should not help it as it should do this itself.
It took 5 minutes but the Egg was finally cracked and a Pokemon emerged.
The Pokemon was small.
It was quadrupedal, mammalian Pokemon with dark blue to black body covered in white fur. It had a ruff around its neck and chest and a tuft on the top of its head.
"Sol…", it cried out Softly.
