"Yes, they did."
"Good. So when can they send it to me?", asked Axel.
"The package would arrive tomorrow. Don't worry."
"Thanks."
"You are welcome. You don't know what I have to go through for this. Anyways, I hope you succeed."
"Thanks. I will talk to you soon. You know, I am quite busy right now."
"Alright.", said Mark and hung up the phone.
Axel was happy with this development. A week ago, Axel had asked Mark to do him a favor. Their solution of shadow Pokemon was on the verge to be completed. However, there were a lot of research to be done and a paper to write. It would take a couple of months for them to release the paper.
So, Axel asked Mark to consult with the league and show them the recent data of their solution. The league members had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Axel and Mark didn't want their research to be hacked.
Showing the current data, Mark was to ask the league to send a naturally formed psychic gem that was 1000 years old. Axel told Mark to tell them that they do not have to reward him with type-enhancing items for this research and that the psychic gem would be enough.
The league immediately agreed. As per his contract with Agatha, the league was to reward him with naturally formed type-enhancing items that were 10,000 years old if Axel made a huge breakthrough in research like the eeveelutions. The difference in price between 1000 yrs old and 10000 yrs old was huge. So, the league immediately agreed.
As of right now, none of his Pokemons could handle the power of 10,000 yrs old item. Axel had made the agreement with Agatha thinking about the future. But Alakazam desperately needed a type enhancing items when it was going to rank up to pseudo-king rank. It was going to rank up very soon. Axel estimated that it would rank up during the tide.
There were 2 conditions for the rank up of Alakazam. It had to develop 2 new moves. Alakazam had already developed 'Elemental Manipulation' from Mew and it was not far from creating another one.

Ding!
Greater Telekinesis- 54% (learned)
---
This new move was 'Greater telekinesis'. So, what was the difference between 'Telekinesis' and 'Greater Telekinesis' ?
'Telekinesis' would help the user levitate rocks from its surrounding and attack the opponent. At a higher level, it could control the movement of opponents and even block their attacks which Alakazam was able to do since the move's level was 41 right now. It was a narrow-minded concept.
However, 'Greater Telekinesis' was a broad concept. With this, Alakazam would be able to manipulate the infinity energy around it with the help of its psychic powers. It would be able to manipulate the winds and earth and trap the opponents in a number of ways.
Axel couldn't even begin to think of its use. There were many applications of it. With the help of Mew's guidance, its bracelet, and the move 'Gravity' and 'Telekinesis', Alakazam was able to master this move to 54% in just a week. This showed how broken Alakazam really was.
Its grasp on psychic powers was deep and Mew also helped it a lot.
Now, there were 2 Pokemons he was concerned about. First was Shedinja.
Shedinja had developed a lot but Axel realized its weakness. Axel had focused too much on its agility and escaping ability but it didn't have a good range of attacking moves. It did learn 'Night slash' and 'Hyper beam' but it was not mastered well as it had just learned it a couple of months ago. There was only 1 short way to improve its attacking power to a whole new level and it was to improve its move 'Substitute'.
Among other Pokemons in Axel's team, Shedinja had focused a lot on this move. As of right now, it could create 2 substitutes. However, those substitutes were only meat shields. Axel wanted them to be able to attack too.
Just like shadow clone in Naruto, he wanted those substitutes to have different minds so that they could even train independently. This would help Shedinja a lot. Unlike Alakazam, Shedinja took a lot of time to master new moves and even existing ones. It was not blessed with the teachings of Mew and it didn't have such mastery over its type like Alakazam.
Alakazam was considered to be one of the most powerful psychic-type Pokemons in the whole wide world. Its computation power had no equal. However, Shedinja didn't have such advantage. If it could master 'Substitute' to a high degree, it would be able to contend with Alakazam.
But this would take time. Axel thought to train it after the tide. Unlike Alakazam it would take some time to master it.
Coming over Piloswine, it was about to rank up to elemental rank. It had already generated its rank-up condition and Axel chose 2 conditions for it.
1. To master its ability and hidden ability to 70%. After reading Giovanni's notes, he realized the importance of abilities and hidden abilities.
2. To create a new move.
