This was another surprise. Some of the lands may be full of resources and some may not. The league was specifically giving them the most prized land on this island.
'Take the land on the far southern side where the mussy forest exists.'
Axel heard the voice again!!!
It was the same voice. After thinking he knew that he had heard the voice before. It was the voice that guided him in the battle with Venusaur. It was also the voice of Serena.
The voice started to repeat the same sentence over and over. Axel thought about the implication. The voice had never been wrong. It had always helped Axel. He thought to take a gamble.
"Mr. Boris. I do not need to wait. I would take the land on the far southern side where the mussy forest exists.", said Axel.
"Are you sure? You could wait for it", said Boris
"I am sure.", said Axel.
"Ok then."
The rest of Axel's team didn't say anything. They believed in Axel but the land was a huge deal. They could not make such a decision. They had to consult their higher-ups about it. Unlike Axel, they were not free to say anything.
The team partied again with booze and delicious food. It was evening and now was the time to move. There were 5 planes for each of them. All of them had different destinations.
"All right Axel, hope you keep in touch.", said Ryker shaking his hand. Though he was a part of the Zard family he had come to like this boy.
All of them hugged and shook hands and parted ways.
Just as Axel was about to take off, he heard the voice again.
'Don't forget about me. We will meet again Axel.'
"I won't forget about you.", said Axel softly.
He didn't know who the voice was but now he knew something. The voice was something from this island and it had taken a liking to Axel.
Then all of them hit Axel all once.
The girl
The voice
The dreams
'Was it Latias or Latios? Cause it would make perfect sense.' thought Axel and jumped from his seat.
'It must be Latias as it is a girl and Latios is a boy.'
As he kept thinking, his assumption started to turn into reality.
Latias did have the power to turn into a human being. It could transmit the voice and could affect his dream. It was a powerful physic Pokemon after all. He had once seen a movie about Latias where it would turn into a girl and talk with Ash in anime.
"Oh my god!!!! It was Latias. I am sure of it. Why didn't I think of it before? I just met another Legendary Pokemon. So, the reason it told me to take that land….. Did it live there? Does that mean that I have a legendary Pokemon in new land now"
'Calm down Axel, clam down. It is just an assumption with 90% probability.'
Axel cooled his head and thought of the future.
Absol was now ready to train and Nidorino was close to reaching elemental rank. Charizard and Ivysaur had already evolved. Beedrill and Marcus had already ranked up. His team was now ready for another gym. Piloswine was also a nice addition to the team. It was already rare ranked but it would need time to reach elemental.
If Nidorino and Piloswine ranked up, Axel would have 4 Pokemons in elemental rank. Though Gyarados just evolved, it was already a powerful Pokemon. It would not take a long time to reach rare rank and then it would also rank up to elemental.
Absol, Tauros, Ivysaur and Charmeleon needed time. But he was okay with it. Absol and Tauros were already in uncommon stage as they didn't have any evolution. But that was the accurate measure of their power. Even Ivysaur who was not in uncommon stage could beat them.
The real standard of Pokemon ranks comes when they reach rare rank. But there was one benefit of having a Pokemon with no evolution. They would grow faster than the Pokemon with the evolution line.
Evolution gave Pokemon huge power but it was also a bottleneck. So, it would take time for a Pokemon to evolve. However, there were also disadvantages.
A Pokemon with an evolution line was normally considered more powerful than a Pokemon with no evolution line. There were several studies on it and it was considered true. But Axel had system which would by-pass these restriction.
He also had 'Elemental overgrowth' which would speed up this Pokemon's powers until they reach elemental rank.
Right now, he needed time to come up with new training plans for all his Pokemons as most of them have evolved and ranked up.
Axel thought about his next step.
He wanted to challenge another gym as he was qualified for it.
1. For the first 2 badges, the gym leader would challenge as an intermediate trainer (using 3 rare ranked Pokemons)
3. For the next 3 badges, the gym leader would challenge as an advanced trainer (using at least 1 elemental rank Pokemon)
Axel had 2 gym badges. He now had to fight the next gym leader who would challenge him as an advanced trainer. That meant, the gym leader would be able to use at least 1 elemental rank Pokemon. But the problem was the word 'at least'. This meant that the gym leader could use all 3 elemental rank Pokemons. So he wanted to challenge the gym after Nidorino ranked up. He didn't want to take any chances.
After thinking for quite some time, he decided on his next step.
It was to get his advanced trainer certificate.
