It was already evening when they reached their safe spot in Axel's dream. They cleared the area and let their Pokemons scout for any dangers. After confirming that there were no dangerous Pokemons like the herd of Tauros near them, they settled to live here for a few days.
Axel didn't let any of his Pokemons train today. Rest was also an important part of the training. He was excited for tomorrow though. Tomorrow would be the day that Magikarp would evolve into Gyarados.
Magikarp had trained its 'Splash' and 'Tackle' to the maximum. It was also fed the recipe that Axel had received from Kent. The water-type gym leader was still far from Axel's reach right now, but he was taking his steps.

Next morning,
The team had gathered in an open area. The evolution from 'Magikarp' to 'Gyarados' was special. 'Gyarados' was basically a rage monster. They were huge and vicious. They go on a frenzy and destroy everything, even entire cities. But they were also able to control their anger when they have a good trainer that they trust. So, when 'Magikarp' evolves, it would likely go on a rampage too. Axel wanted to control this process, so he took out all of his strong Pokemon and his team's Pokemons to control when it evolves.
The baby Tauros was drinking milk from Gogoat. It was the apple of the eye of the team. Since it was still a baby, it was cute and playful too just like Absol. However, Absol had taken the role of big sister when Tauros joined the team. She would teach it silly and mischievous things like it was a lesson of life.
The team was surprised when Axel told them that his Magikarp may evolve to Gyarados today. It was not very hard to predict the evolution day of 'Magikarp' as it evolves after a certain time. However, the date prediction was not always accurate so the team was not so serious about it.
Axel started to count the time on his system waiting for the evolution. He had already prepared 'Mystic water' which would further help when it was evolving and the time finally came.
"Guys, I think it is evolving!!!" shouted Axel.
-----
[Ding!,
Magikarp is evolving…..]
-----
The evolution light started to glow around Magikarp. Axel was quick to throw the 'Mystic water'. The process took some minutes but it was not as time-consuming as Shedinja's and Beedrill's rank up. The blue glow surrounded Magikarp and its glow started to lengthen. It started to get big from 3 feet…. 5 feet… 10 feet.. 15 feet…20 feet all the way to almost 35 feet.
The head of every team member including Axel started to rise up until they could not see the top of it. 35 feet was not a small height. Gyarados were normally huge. The average size of Gyarados was 20 feet but Axel's Gyarados had already reached 35 feet and it was still evolving.
Finally, the evolution was completed, and ...
ROARRRRRRRR.....
Axel was afraid that he had lost his eardrums. The roar was so huge and dominating that everyone was scared even if they had rare ranked and elemental ranked Pokemons.
Axel realized that the rage and ferocity of Gyarados were not for show. He knew that his newly evolved Gyarados was not in its right mind now.
'Now, how do I control this monstrosity
"How is it so big? Axel, what do you feed your Pokemons?", complained Ryker. Everyone knew that controlling 35 feet raged Gyarados would not be a walk in the park even if it was just an uncommon ranked Pokemon.
------
[Ding!
Congratulations!!! Your Magikarp has evolved to Gyarados]
------
'Like I didn't know that.', shouted Axel internally.
"Gyarados, I know it is hard but try to control yourself." shouted Axel.
Gyarados looked at Axel and then turned around. It faced Ryker and Lyra and roared again.
ROARRRR.....
"Yeah, this is not going to be peaceful.", said Ryker
"Don't worry, I got this.", said Lyra and threw a Pokeball and out came a long blue serpentine Pokemon with a big mouth and big fangs. It was also Gyarados.
However, Axel's Gyarados was ready. A yellow-colored ball started to form its mouth.
"Damn it! Gyarados be careful. It is using 'Hyper Beam.'", shouted Lyra but it didn't do any good to it. The 'Hyper Beam' was shot out and Lyra's Gyarados took the full hit as it was not prepared to defend itself. The attack blasted off Lyra's Gyarados was thrown off 10 meters until it landed harshly on the ground.
It didn't move after that.
"How is that Gyarados so strong? My Gyarados is going to reach rare rank soon", shouted Lyra in disbelief. Her Gyarados had evolved quite some time before and was going to rank up to rare rank soon. So it was unbelievable to Lyra and even others to witness a newly evolved uncommon Pokemon to do this.
But Axel had an ace for such a situation.
"Marcus, use your full power 'Hypnosis'"
It was not night time so 'Hypnosis' didn't have such a huge power boost but the move was already in 'Good' stage. So, the effect was not to be underestimated. Gyarados used 'Hyper Beam' 2 more times on Shedinja but Shedinja was fast to dodge it. Shedinja could have just let the move hit it without taking any damage but Axel didn't want Shedinja's secret to be revealed to his team.
After taking a couple of 'Hypnosis', Gyarados went to sleep. Everyone took a deep breath of relief. Shedinja was a godsend in this situation. If the situation had not been controlled fast enough, there was no telling what would have happened.
Gyarados is a scary Pokemon if it gets angry.
