"I would first like to hear the proposal."
"As I started to talk to you, I realized that you are a gold mine. I would want you to transfer into my team where I would give you all the freedom to do all your experiments.", said Axel.
"Really?"
"Yes, but I cannot do that. We have just entered into an alliance and if I start to poach the members of Blue's team just after entering the alliance, it would not set a good record on me."
Krishna instantly fell sad after hearing it. He did know that Axel was speaking the truth about it. He loved his team and his team members but his team members never listened to his weird ideas.
There were many reasons for it. First of all, was the time and resources required for his theories. Secondly, he was only a general not even a vice admiral, and finally, he was too young. Even though he was a general he was only 24 years old, very young to have multiple king-rank Pokemons. So, his team members just treated him as a little brother that they would have to take care of and never became serious about this theory.
But for the first time, someone was serious about his theories and wanted to invest in them but that was also looking to be impossible.
"But I have the next best thing.", said Axel and paused to see the effect.
"Come on, tell me..."
"OK, One of the help that I need from the alliance is that I want you guys to train my team members. From strategies to training their bodies, their Pokemons, and the formation of teams. I will ask for your help specifically and you can experiment with your theories at that time."
"Really? Would you really do that for me?"
"Of course, if your theories are true then it would be helping me and it would open a lot of mysteries and secrets.", said Axel.
After talking for some time, Krishna went to sleep with a happy expression and Axel went on to meditate.
Togetic was also training at night. It had some moves related to the moon like 'Moon light' and training at night would boost the training speed of those moves. 'Moonlight' was also at level 39 and it was concentrating on leveling it up to 40 but that would take some days to do it.
Axel had been training on 'Sleep suppression' for more than 2 weeks now. He knew that he had to be patient as mastering the cycle of sleep was going to be hard. As of now, he could stay awake for 4 days and he needed to do it for 5 days.
Today was the 4th day and tomorrow would be the 5th day. After 'Sleep suppression', Axel felt that he should go for 'Enhanced endurance'.
###
Next day,
It was around 3 days walk from the beach since the Pokemons said that they would not interfere. Axel had been training his Pokemons and also himself during that time.
He was also looking after Jin and Frank. Jin's Pokemons needed some time to get to par as they had been malnourished for such a long time. Now, his Pokemons looked much better than before and their stamina, powers, and agility were also getting to the standard.
It was close to evening now. They had been very careful in avoiding the Pokemon territories.
After walking for some time, they saw something.
"Hey, isn't that Mr. Mime?", asked Ram.
"Yes, what are you doing here? Its territory is quite far from this place. Don't tell me that it had also lost its way.", said Cathy.
"Hello humans, it is nice to meet you all.", said the Pokemon. Realizing that it was a king-rank Pokemon, it surely must not have lost its way.
"Hello, Mr. Mime."
"Can you pretend that you didn't see me? I am trying to steal something from the Xatu tribe.", requested Mr. Mime.
This Mr. Mime was not lost. It was stealing!! It was a thief!!.
This time Axel came forward to talk to it.
"I will keep my mouth closed but what will I get after doing it?"
"What do you want?"
"I want a part of what you are stealing.", said Axel.
"No, you are not getting any of it. Think of another thing.", said Mr. Mime.
"How about you teach one of my Pokemon a barrier move.", said Axel.
Mr. Mime was not called barrier Pokemon for nothing. It could use a variety of barriers for its protection. Some of the barriers could also be used for attacks.
"Ok, I agree. After I steal, you can come to my tribe and give this to the guards. I will then agree to teach one of your Pokemons.", said Mr. Mime and disappeared from there.
Mr. Mime had handed over some sort of red cloth to Axel. Axel didn't know what it was and he didn't even expect that it would agree.
"Come on, let's start our journey"
###
After 3 days, they were finally at the gate of Salamence territory.
"Are you guys ready?", asked Kizaru.
"Yes."
"Do remember the plan on what we should do after we get inside.", said Kizaru and all of them got ready.
Salamence territory was not an easy place. It was a place filled with powerful dragon-type Pokemons and the leader was a champion-rank Pokemon.
So, there was no way that they would be able to beat them. That was why they came up with a plan and that was to convince them.
When they knew that they were going to face Salamence in their territory, all of them asked Ron about Salamence as he was the dragon-type specialist.
"Ron, we all know about dragon-type Pokemons but what is different about Salamence?", asked Axel.
"I would not go on to describe the nature of dragon-type Pokemons in detail. They are arrogant, prideful, and very powerful. They like to keep their treasures hidden and they love their loved ones.
The thing that is different about Salamence is that they are very vicious and bloody. They are brutal and trained killers. Their jaws are not for decoration. They could shred anything that comes their way.
However, they also respect power and hard work, unlike any other dragon-type Pokemons."
"Respect and hard work?"
"Yes, respect and hard work. When they are in Bagon form, they always dream of flying in the sky but they can only have wings when they reach their final form.
Till they reach their final form, they train a lot and make themselves even more powerful. That is they respect hard work."
###
As they went near the territory of Salamence, Axel could feel the powerful aura of Salamence inside. It was almost suffocating.
ROOOOARRRR
A huge roar came from the sky and the pressure of the roar was so high that even the trees were bending. All of them had already used 'Aura coat' and 'Aura Resistance' to cover themselves.
"HUMANS!!! Why are you here? If you don't give me a good answer, you will never return.", came a roaring voice.
Axel could see a Salamence that was flying in the sky and looking down at them.
"I have been called by the leader of this land for a conversation. I would be happy if we could cross your territory. That is the only way.", said Axel.
Since Axel was the one who was called by the leader of this land, all of them decided that he should be the one to speak to Salamence.
"Oh, so you are that puny human. You can do whatever you want but you are not crossing my territory."
"What should I do to cross your territory? There must be a way. I have worked really hard and faced a lot of troubles to come here. If I could make you believe that I am a genuine human, would you let us cross?"
Salamence was now interested in this human. This human had a way with his words. However, he didn't know that all of these dialogues were prepared by Krishna himself.
It came down to the ground and the air pressure increased on them.
"So, what do you propose human?"
"I have heard that the Salamence tribe respects power and hard work. So, if I could prove that to you, will you let me and my friends cross?"
"And how do you intend to prove it to me?", asked Salamence.
"We will have a battle with one of my Pokemons and one of your tribe members. If my Pokemon is able to win against your tribe member then you will have to let us cross."
Salamence was interested in this proposal. Their life was full of hard work but it was also very boring. Salamence was the strongest tribe of this land and they covered a very large area. So, none of the Pokemons would dare to come here to challenge them. The leader of Salamence was exceptionally strong.
"Ok, human. I will agree to your request. But there would not be just one battle but 2 battles. If your Pokemon lost any of those battles then my tribe members would feed on your flesh."
"I agree."
Salamence then told the humans to follow it as it flew towards their territory. Its speed was not very slow. Axel and the team had to run at full speed to not lose it.
At that time, Axel was finally able to see the territory. The place was very big compared to Gallade's territory. There were so many Bagon, Shelgon, and Salamence. Some of them were playing with their friends. Some of them were battling out while some of them were just sleeping and enjoying their life.
One interesting thing about them was that none of them even cared for their presence.
###
"Drik, why did you invite those humans to my land? Didn't I say you to just kill them if they were to come here?", shouted another Salamence.
"Leader, I was going to kill them but then one human gave me an interesting proposal."
"Oh, what is that?"
"The human said that they would battle 2 of our Pokemons and if they won both of them, we would let them pass. Some of our youngsters have never seen another Pokemon and have never gone out. I feel that this would be a good practice for them.
I also hear that trained Pokemons from humans are usually more powerful than us. I was just curious."
"Hmm, well our previous leader did say to follow the commands of the current leader. If the current leader wants to meet this human then it is our duty to check it.
Ok, I agree. Call all of them to the stadium. I want all of us to see this battle."
"Yes, Leader."
###
"Damn, this place is like heaven. I can feel a concentrated amount of dragon-type energy here. Just how did they do it?", asked Ron.
Everyone was marveling looking at the place. It looked straight out of a movie. The air was extra pure, the place was filled with dragon-type energy and all the Pokemons were dragon-type Pokemons.
They were made to wait as Drik went inside to inform the leader. After some time, it came out and told all of them to follow it once again.
They ran for more than 30 minutes and reached a very surprising place. It looked like a stadium where league battles were fought. However, this place was very different from a normal league stadium.
