He looked around and found out that the man calling him was Hector.
"Hector, can you stop shouting? My whole head is ringing from pain. Give me a minute.", said Axel.
Hector quited down. He was in a small room and he was on the bed. Hector was standing right beside him.
After a minute or 2, he finally calmed down. His head was not ringing and he could feel that he had grown a bit stronger than before.
"Ok, now tell me what happened. What happened to the tide?", asked Axel.
"Sir, when those 27 Gengars came, all of the soldiers including you and Lady Agatha fainted. We didn't know what to do. Sir Dragon, Clair, Kurt, and I with some of the other soldiers started to fight with them.
Fortunately, they didn't use that trick again. That night we were able to kill 3 king-rank Gengars. When the sun came, they went into hiding."
"Ok, that is good."
"Yes, we have also created a history. For the first time during the tide, no one died on the first day."
"Haha, that is good to hear. How long was I asleep?"
"Sir, this is the 5th day of the tide. You have slept for 4 days.", said Hector.
"4 days!!!! Was I the only one who had woken up? Or are there others?", asked Axel in a hurry.
"Only lady Agatha woke up a day ago. All the others are in a coma right now.", said Hector.
"How many soldiers are in a coma right now?"
"200,000."
"That is a lot? How are you guys handling the tide? I need all the details."
"Sir, I think you should rest for a bit. Lady Agatha also took half a day to fully recover.", said Hector with worry.
"Nonsense. Let me wake up."
Axel tried to wake up but felt that his whole body was not in his control.
"I will call Sir Dragon. Others are participating in the tide.", said Hector and called both of them.
###
"Axel my boy, you have finally woken up. I have become a temporary leader and now I can finally pass this role to you.", said Dragon being happy.
All of them had realized Axel's role during the tide when he was in a coma. If he had not gone into a coma, things would have been better.
"Thank you, Sir Dragon. I will take it from here."
"No, you should rest. The illusion would not only hamper your mind but also your body. You have not moved an inch for 4 days. You can join the night raid.", said Dragon.
Axel agreed to it and asked for the details.
All together he found out that the tide was going on a full scale.
Without Agatha and Axel, the night raid had gone horribly wrong. 1 king rank Pokemon of Kurt and another king-ranked Pokemon of Clair had died during the night raid.
They were able to kill 10 more Gengars during the night. Now only, 14 of them were left. The leader Gengar and their partner had still not died.
Fortunately, there were no king-rank Pokemons during the daytime. They were only facing rare rank, elemental rank, and pseudo-king rank Pokemons.
But 200k soldiers were in a coma. It might not seem a lot from 3 million soldiers but it was a sizable force. All of these 200k soldiers had ghost and dark type Pokemons. They were perfect for the night raid.
But now, since they could not participate in the tide, Dragon had to decrease the force of daytime tide and adjust it to the nighttime tide.
5000 soldiers had died during day time and 35000 soldiers had died during the night time. A total of 40,000 soldiers had died within 4 days. That was a huge number.
"Did you call for reinforcement from the central zone?", asked Axel.
"I did, they would arrive here after a few hours."
"What the hell were they doing for 4 days?"
"They told me that it would take some time but never gave me a proper reason. They are very inefficient.", said Dragon.
"Ok, we will wait for them."
"Don't worry, Gerad is sending a force of 200k soldiers all adept to fight ghost-type Pokemons."
"Thanks for your help, Sir Dragon. Did you find out how can we cure these 200k soldiers that are in a coma?", asked Axel.
"I talked with mother and she told me that it is a powerful illusion. She also told them they could not use it again for a long time. She told me that only Oak's Alakazam could cure it."
"So, that would be after the tide.", said Axel.
"Yes."
"Please call Lady Agatha. I want to talk to her.", said Axel.
###
After 15 minutes, Agatha entered the room. The news that Axel had woken up had been spread to all the soldiers in the north zone. After hearing that their leader had woken up, most of them were relieved and felt secure.
"Kid, you have finally woken up. Everything is going right now.", said Agatha.
"Mam, I have called you here to ask 1 question. Can they use that technique again?"
"They can but they need some time. Last night I didn't see the leader Gengar and their partner. The main Pokemon to use that technique were both of them. I think that they are recovering from that technique.", said Agatha.
"So, how much time do we have?"
"My Gengar told me that at best they would use that technique after 10 days. 4 days have already passed."
"And at worst?"
"7 days."
"Are you sure about this?", asked Axel.
"Yes, I am positive. I can see that they are attacking a full force but they are not using any devastating attack. They are extending the battle and waiting to use that move again."
"So, we only have 3 days."
"Yes, but we have killed 13 of them so far. I don't think that the power of the technique would be so great now."
"But the fact remains that they can still use it.", said Axel.
"Yes, that they can."
"So, we only have 3 days to kill all of them. If we kill 12 of them except for the leader and her partner, can it use it again?"
"It can but the process would be very slow and I believe that we can intercept them before they use it again.", said Agatha.
"That is good. Have all of you Pokemon come out of illusion?", asked Axel.
"They didn't need to. Before they were even in an illusion, I called all of them inside the balls."
Axel realized that he had also called most of these Pokemons before they used that technique.
"How many of my Pokemons are still in a coma?", asked Axel.
"Only 2 of them. Pidgeot and Tauros. You were able to call all of them except these 2 Pokemons.", said Agatha.
That was good news. If all of his Pokemon were in a coma then he didn't know what he was going to do to contribute to the tide.
"Ok, let's plan for the night raid. I want to kill every one of them tonight.", said Axel.
###
Night time,
After some hours, it was finally nighttime. The new soldiers had already been briefed about the situation and were told what to do.
They were ready to fight.
Fortunately, none of his team members were a part of the night raid and none of them had died till now. Axel knew that Mew must have saved some of them during the last 4 days.
He wanted to ask Mew to cure all the soldiers and the Pokemon that were in coma but he knew that it would not do so. It had already said that doing anything would disturb the balance.
When the night came, first only rare rank and elemental rank Pokemons attacked them. Axel didn't interfere in that battle. He was waiting for the king-rank Pokemons.
Finally, after 2 hours,
12 king rank Pokemons came
8 of them were in tier 1
And 4 of them were in tier 2.
Axel had 6 kings rank Pokemons now. He had already selected 6 king-rank Pokemons that his Pokemon were going to face.
He was using his full power this time.
###
Nidoking Vs Gengar
The Gengar that Nidoking was fighting had a poison core. It was very rare for a Gengar to focus on its poison typing. Most of them focused on their ghost type advantage.
The only reason Axel chose this Gengar for Nidoking was due to its poison core. It was also in tier 1.
Most of Axel's Pokemon had recently ranked up to king rank. So, all of them were in tier 1. They had good foundation compared to others so they were powerful compared to a normal tier 1 Pokemon but they were not as powerful to compete against tier 2.
Axel looked at its stats and saw the following:
---
Pokemon's Name:- Gengar (Age- 103 yrs)
Pokemon's Nickname:- NA
Pokemon rank: king
Ability:- Cursed body (100%)
Hidden Ability:- NA
Potential:- Purple
Health:- 5500/5500
Attack:- F Agility:- E+
Defense:- F++ Sp. Attk:- D+
Sp. Def:- F
Moves:- Mean look, Destiny bond, Hypnosis, Nightshade, Poison sea, sludge bomb, Shadow ball, Smog, Poison jab, Shadow punch, Nightmare, Sludge domain, Life suck
Core: Poison (Mastered)
---
These were the stats of Gengar. There were 3 new moves including the domain move. 'Poison sea', 'Sludge domain' and 'Life suck'. He could vaguely tell that each of them did.
It had low health for a king-rank Pokemon and it was 103 years old. That was actually short for a Pokemon like Gengar. It had purple potential and after 103 years it was just a king rank?
Axel realized that Gengar was too lazy to train. If Nidoking was 103 years old, it might achieve god-ranking status. However, 103 years of experience would be difficult to deal with.
Gengar was the first to attack. Its eyes expanded and Axel knew that it was using 'Mean look'. The move would let Nidoking not switch out. Axel didn't care about it cause Nidoking was killing this Pokemon.
He was a little worried about 'Destiny bond' but it was very hard to connect.
'Destiny bond' would create a scenario where both of the Pokemons would have the same destiny. So, if Nidoking kills Gengar, Nidoking would also die. However, 'Destiny bond' was very hard to connect.
The Pokemon should physically touch the target during the activation of the move. It would take a long time to activate and the time of the move was also not forever. The move would expire in 5-10 minutes at most.
"Meg, use 'Agility' and start with 'Sludge wave'", shouted Axel.
Gengar gave a roar and poison started to come out of its body and its mouth. The poison was green in color and it came out as a wave.
'This must be 'Poison sea'', thought Axel.
Axel was also looking at the fight with other Pokemons so he could not totally concentrate on the fight. He had already told Nidoking the moves that Gengar might use and had warned him about 'Destiny bond'.
Meanwhile, Nidoking was giving it all. The 'Sludge wave' was weaker than 'Poison sea'. The green and the purple poison clashed with each other and the mixture of the colors could be seen.
'Poison sea' was overpowering 'Sludge wave' so Nidoking used another move. It was 'Fissure'.
It jumped high and crashed its feet on the ground.
The 'Fissure' created a line of cracks on the ground and also a hole in the ground. All the poison from the 'Poison sea' started to go toward the hole and now 'Sludge wave' was the one that was overpowering 'Poison sea'.
The 'Fissure' also affected Gengar and it fell to the ground. It then started to levitate on the ground to avoid it again.
Gengar was about to use another move when Nidoking used 'Sandstorm' and also used 'Sand hardening'.
Gengar had used 'Hypnosis' which was tackled by the 'Sandstorm'.
Axel could see that both of the Pokemon were equal and this was going to be a long fight. Nidoking might not be as experienced as Gengar but it had Axel to help.
"Meg, use 'Poison sting' and then prepare for 'Spinning poison'"
'Poison sting' had not leveled up to 45 and Nidoking could now shoot small blades of poison towards the enemy. This move had become a special type now.
Gengar could not predict the move and it could not dodge. It was hit by the move but it was not poisoned. It had good poison resistance.
Nidoking had already created substitutes and it was now ready to use 'Spinning poison'.
With a hundred years of experience, Gengar could tell that this was something bad. So, it started to prepare.
It flew at high speed and punched the substitute with 'Shadow punch'. This move must have been practiced a lot by it cause it was very powerful. However, the substitute didn't go down. It was ready to take another hit.
Then it did something amazing.
ROOOARRR.
It gave a loud roar and fired up 'Sludge bomb'. Since Gengar was in close proximity to it, it was hit by the attack.
---
Ding!
Nidoking's substitute had leveled up to 50. …..
