"Cynthia is recognized as one of the most powerful young trainers of your generation. Her Garchomp is very scary. Before you became powerful and famous, all of us from the Kanto region and other regions didn't like that.
Some of us complained that her Garchomp was mutated, and some of us said that it was just luck. However, none of us could say that she was weak.
So, when you came, we started to have some hope. We didn't know if you were more powerful than her but we were excited to know that. So, when it finally happened, we were very happy. God, I wish I was there.", said Morgan.
"You old men have a lot of spare time with you.", said Axel.
"That we do. So, after the celebration, the people started to talk about you a lot. You became very famous amongst the influential people.
Volo, Cogita, and Carolina were very angry with you. They are relatives of Cynthia. You have destroyed the most powerful Pokemon of her and they were not having it.
So, they came to meet Oak and started to complain. Oak said that this was a battle between kids and they should handle it. He also said that if any of the elders interfered in it then, Oak would personally intervene and he would not care about anything.
After hearing it, all three of them didn't know what to say and agreed.", said Morgan.
"Ok, so what is Cynthia doing now? I mean, is she still training her Garchomp? I just wanted to know that."
"We don't know what she is doing right now. Sinnoh is very good at hiding information. However, we came to know that Volo told her to get another Gabite as her Garchomp was now useless.
However, Cynthia didn't agree. She wanted to train her Garchomp and she said that she would not leave it.
It is also reported that she had gone into hiding and had seriously started to train herself."
Axel knew that Cynthia would not give up on her Garchomp. He was excited to meet her again and fight with her again. That was why he needed to train Charizard to a very high level.
Others may not believe it, but that Garchomp would be more powerful than before and it would come at Charizard with vengeance. So, Axel had to be prepared.
"Morgan, what do you think is the most powerful non-legendary/ mystical electrical type Pokemon?", asked Axel.
"Depends on what. Speed, attack power, special attack power, defense. What are you looking for?", asked Morgan.
Morgan was serious now. He was always serious when it came to electric-type Pokemons.
"I want the one who could win me more battles and also deal with multiple types of Pokemons at the same time.", said Axel.
"Then I would suggest you Magnezone.", said Morgan.
"Really? But why?"
"There are a lot of reasons. First is that it has 11 resistances and is immune to poison type. It also has a steel typing which is very cool.
It is a Pokemon that truly focuses on electro-magnetic waves. Now, we may not have all the knowledge about the electro-magnetic waves but I believe that it has a lot of potential. It also has 3 evolution lines and that is a quality of a strong Pokemon."
Morgan was a person who had solely dedicated his life in training electric type Pokemons. He had a lot of knowledge in this area.
Axel knew that Morgan was right. The final evolution of Magneton was recently discovered 10 years ago. So there was not good research on its final evolved form. However, Magnezone was a powerful Pokemon.
He wanted to have an Elekid and evolve it into an Electivire. Electivire was also a strong Pokemon but he wanted to do something new this time. Magnezone would not only focus on electric type moves but also magnet move and electro-magnetic moves.
It would be a bit tricky to train it but the rewards would be very good.
"Alright then. Can you give me an egg of Magnemite as a payment to train your son?", asked Axel.
"Of course, that would be possible. But are you sure about it? You can ask for a lot more than that."
"No, I am not in need of money right now. I don't have an electric-type Pokemon, so, I want one in my team."
"Since you are being humble, I will surprise you with the egg of Magnemite but it would take some time."
"How much time?"
"Couple of months or maybe more.", said Morgan.
"I am cool with that."
Axel then started to talk about his plans to go to the Aeus island. Frank was from the Kanto region and he also was a registered trainer of the Kanto region. Now, he would be traveling with Axel. So, he also had to get registered in the Johto region.
After finishing their breakfast, they decided to get Frank registered first. Then he could choose his first Pokemon for the Johto region.
The process was not very long but the line was a bit long. It took half an hour for their turn and Frank finally registered for the Johto region.
"Sir, do you also want to take your first Pokemon right now?", asked the receptionist.
"Yes, we will do that.", said Morgan.
"Which category would you choose?", asked the receptionist.
"We will choose the random category.", said Axel.
"But why? Father can pay for any specific category.", complained Frank.
"Frank, I am your teacher now. So, you would do anything that I say. I thought you remembered that. Did you start to forget that already?", asked Axel.
Frank cooled himself down and then said, "Ok, we will get the random category."
Axel wanted to know how Frank would train his Pokemon. Training a talented Pokemon would be easy but training a normal Pokemon would be hard. He wanted to see if Frank could do that. Morgan also understood Axel's reasoning behind it.
The Pokemon that Frank got was Croagunk. It was fighting and poison-type Pokemon. It was around 4 months old. It came near Frank and Frank hugged it welcoming it to the family.
Axel and Morgan congratulated Frank for his Pokemon. Croagunk didn't have monstrous potential but it was okay. If it could be trained well, it could be a powerful Pokemon. It would evolve to Toxicroak and it had very good poison abilities.
###
"Frank, first show me all of your Pokemons.", said Axel.
Frank called all of his Pokemons. He had 8 Pokemons before Croagunk and all 8 of them were in elemental rank.
1. Raichu
2. Butterfree
3. Charizard
4. Golbat
5. Machamp
6. Golem
7. Jolteon
8. Muk
These were some interesting Pokemons. Raichu was his first official Pokemon and it was the strongest. Even though all of them were in elemental rank, they were very weak. They had not been properly trained and the Pokemon could only reach elemental rank due to a lot of resources.
"Have you unlocked your aura?", asked Axel.
"Yes, I have done it recently.", said Frank.
"That is good. Now, choose a Pokemon. I will also choose an elemental rank Pokemon for battle.", said Axel.
"Raichu, I choose you. Come here, buddy. Let's show them what we are made of."
"RAI… RAIchu….", it said as it came ahead for battle.
"Pidgeot, come out. Show them the power of flying type.", said Axel.
"Axel only had Pidgeot as an elemental rank Pokemon. Pidgeot was weak to electric-type attacks but Axel felt that Pidgeot would win it very easily."
Axel looked at Pidgeot's stats

Since it was in a dream, it looked like its power was heightened. 2 of its stats had reached S rank and it had already obtained its rank-up condition. Axel knew that it still needed a ton of experience, so he gave it a harsh rank-up condition.
1. All the stats should be S rank.
2. 3 of its moves should be level 50 and above.
3. It would make a new move.
The conditions were harsh but Pidgeot didn't have any problem with it. It didn't find the necessity to rank up very fast. It wanted to take it slow.
Morgan became the referee and then announced, "Let the battle begin!!"
"Raichu, use 'Agility'"
"Flappy, do the same."
By the time Raichu could use 'Agility' 1 time, Pidgeot had already used it 2 times.
"Flappy, now use 'Double team' and then 'Foresight'"
Pidgeot was already faster than Riachu. After using 'Agility' 2 times, Raichu could not even see it properly. It created 3 extra copies with 'Double team' and then used 'Foresight' which trapped Raichu inside a small hurricane.
"Flappy, now use 'Whirl wind' and then use 'Work up'", said Axel.
Raichu still could not get out of the hurricane and then BOOOMMMM
Raichu had used 'Electro ball' which disrupted the hurricane but it was also hurt in the process.
"Flappy, now use 'Air aura' and then 'Aerial Ace'"
"Raichu, use 'Volt tackle'"
A sharp aura of air covered Pidgeot and it looked like it had grown very strong. It came towards Raichu at a blinding speed. It was trying to use 'Aerial ace' but Raichu was also speeding up. It was also using 'Volt tackle'.
Both of them were now close to colliding with each other but at a critical time, Pidgeot changed its direction and then flew away. It however came back and hit Raichu on its back.
The force of the attack could be imagined with 2 'Agility', 1 'Work up', 'Air aura', and then 'Aerial ace'. Raichu was sent flying and it hit the wall and fainted.
Axel knew that Raichu was injured but it was not seriously injured. He had told Pidgeot to hold back.
Pidgeot could only change directions due to its new passive move 'Angel wings'. It had perfectly won the battle against Raichu. Frank came running down to see if Raichu was okay. He then carried it and went to the Pokemon center to heal it.
The nurse said that it would take a week for Raichu to be all okay.
###
"Now Frank, can you tell me what went wrong? Why did you lose that battle?", asked Axel.
"It is because I am weak."
"That is true but why is your Pokemon weak? Have thought about that?"
Frank didn't reply to that. He must not have even thought of it.
"Now listen Frank. It is your duty as a trainer to think about what your Pokemon is lacking. You know your Pokemon the best. Not me.
But let me tell you why your Pokemon lost. First, my Flappy is very strong. It is on the verge of ranking up to pseudo-king rank. When you battle with other Pokemon, you can tell how powerful they really are.
However, even though my Flappy is very strong, your Raichu should not have lost that badly. Flappy only hit it with a single move and it could not move for a week.
This means that even though both of our Pokemons are in the same rank, you have not trained them well. You have been relying on a lot of resources. Resources are good and they are the shortcut to train your Pokemon faster. But too much of anything is always bad."
"The main problem with your Pokemon is their physical stats. You have not trained them well on it. A Pokemon should always have a strong foundation. Pokemons are different than us. They had very hard bodies and they could take a lot of training unlike us.
The move mastery of your Raichu is okay. It is not good but it is okay for now. So, the first thing you are going to do is to train the body stats of your Pokemon.
I realized that your Raichu could hardly take 2 Agility before its capacity fills up. My Pidgeot could use it 4 times. This is the difference between them. If your Raichu's body stats was higher, its reaction speed would also be good. It may have been able to dodge some moves.
So, for this entire month, you will not focus on their moves mastery but their body stats. It would take a lot of time to upgrade their body stats but there is no shortcut in it.
Additionally, you will also focus on your physical stats. You have unlocked your aura but your body stats are pitifully low.
So, you and your Pokemons are going to use training grounds and train yourself to the limit.
All here is the list of things that I want and also the money. Get it for me.", said Axel handing the money and the item list.
These were the list of items for Bagon and its ridges. Axel also wanted to find dragon-type resources to boost Bagon but that was not available in the market.
