5 minutes before,
When Aerodactyl became trapped inside the illusion, Axel was immediately notified about it because it was attacking in a completely different direction.
Axel gave a big sigh when he saw it. Aerodactyl was not to blame cause it had just ranked up and it was feeling all the power rush inside its whole body. So, it forgot that it should not be looking at Stantler's antlers.
So Axel decided to call off Aerodactyl inside the ball and call another Pokemon for battle.
"Aerodactyl, come back.", said Axel but it was forcing itself to be in the battle. A Pokemon could force itself to be inside the Pokeball or outside of it. Of course, it would depend on its intent and mentality. A weak Pokemon like a common rank Pokemon might not be able to do it on a master ball but an elemental rank Pokemon could do it with enough intent.
For some reason, Aerodactyl didn't want to go inside the ball so Axel could not call another Pokemon. Axel shouted for some time but there was no response. This illusion was so powerful. It was being cast by a rare rank Pokemon and even an elemental rank Pokemon cannot get out of it.
After shouting for some time, Axel remained silent and then used aura to manipulate the mind of Aerodactyl. He had never done such a thing before. Before he only communicated telepathically to it but it was not making any difference.
After trying for 3-4 minutes, Aerodactyl could finally hear Axel's voice and the illusion finally cracked.
In those 5 minutes, Stantler was attacking left and right. Most of the attacks were missing but that didn't mean that none of them connected. Some of the area effect moves like 'Stone edge' had hit Stantler and with the power of elemental rank, it had a higher effect on it.
###
As it got out of the illusion, it was filled with shame and anger. Shame that it got trapped in the illusion and got injured and angry cause a rare rank Pokemon was going to win.
Aerodactyl knew that at most it would be able to win this battle and could not continue further. The goal was to continue further but it had made a mistake.

Flashback, a week ago
All 3 Pokemons; Primeape, Togetic, and Aerodactyl were in a meeting with Axel about the new gym battle.
"Guys, we have trained as much as we can and we cannot train more than this. So, we have given our best. All of you know that this is one of the toughest gyms in the Johto region.
The gym leader is going to use Miltank at last. That is her ace. Don't think that the Pokemon is weak just because it gives milk and is a cow. That is one of the most broken Pokemon and it will be very hard to fight against it."
Axel could still remember the horror of Whitney in his previous world. He would not underestimate Miltank.
"In the best-case scenario, I want all 3 of you to win the previous 2 battles and not faint. So, we will have 3 of you to battle Miltank. In the worst-case scenario, at least 2 of you must be there to battle Miltank.", said Axel.
Togetic came forward and said, "Chukkki.. Chukki.. Turriiiii"
"Yes, we can still fight if there is only one of you but our chances of winning it would be very low. That is why I want at least 2 of you ready for Miltank. Miltank is a very powerful Pokemon.", said Axel.
Flashback end.
###
Now, only 2 of them would be ready for Miltank. Even though Togetic was an elemental rank Pokemon and quite strong for an elemental rank, Miltank was still a mystery to them as Axel had repeatedly told them that Miltank would be a problem.
So, after gathering all of its energy, it used 'Sandstorm' at full power. The ferocity of this storm was not to be underestimated. It was more furious than before.
Aerodactyl flew at high speed and then used the move 'Wing attack'. This time the move had connected and it was able to deliver a powerful blow to Stantler. It then used the move 'Meteor beam' followed by 'Dragon pulse'.
The battle ended there and Stantler was not able to stand up again.
"Aerodactyl, you did a good job. Don't worry and rest for some time", said Axel and called back Aerodactyl. Since it was now in complete control of its body, it came inside the master ball naturally.
###
"Ladies and Gentlemen, a fierce clash between the gym leader and Axel Blaze. I just could not imagine that the gym leader's Pokemon would be able to fight against Axel's elemental rank Pokemon to a draw.
This shows that experience matters a lot....."
The announcer went on and on. He had been paid by the gym leader, so of course, the announcer would say good things about Ava. Axel didn't care about it. The problem was how to deal with Miltank.
It must be remembered that Aerodactyl had still not fainted and Axel still had 3 Pokemons with him. But as of right now, Aerodactyl was injured, tired, and unable to battle. So, it could be said that the fight was a draw.
"Gym leader is requested to send out her final Pokemon.", said the referee.
"Come out, Miltank!!", shouted Ava and threw the ball in the air.
It was a bipedal, bovine Pokemon. Its body was mostly pink, with a yellow belly and black, angular markings along its back. A black hood-like marking surrounded its face with a pink, triangular mark on its forehead. There were two small horns on top of its head. It had large, blue eyes, a black nose, and a wide mouth, as well as long, black, floppy ears with yellow insides. It also had a yellow udder with four pink teats. All four of its limbs end in black, cloven hooves, and its long tail was tipped with a black sphere.
It was Miltank.
Axel had done a lot of research on Miltank. At the start of the journey, Axel wanted one Miltank for the team. Miltank was his top priority as it would give his team nutritious milk and it was also a powerful Pokemon. However, since he didn't have a good connection and money at that time, he got Gogoat instead of Miltank.
When Gogoat started to take the duty of milk provider, Axel now didn't want to capture a Miltank. Yet he had done a lot of research on it. He knew that Miltank could be very powerful if it was trained in the right way. There was also a reason for it.
The milk from Miltank was very nutritious and the milk from Miltank's mother to Miltank was very more nutritious for Miltank. So, if proper milk was given from its mother and it was trained well, its body stats would rise to an absurd level.
Axel immediately used 'Identify' on Miltank.

Axel knew that Miltank would not be a normal Pokemon. This was the ace of the second-strongest gym leader in the Johto region. Yet, never in his life, had he expected it to be so broken and beyond reason.
First of all, its potential was black which was very rare. Even most of Axel's Pokemons didn't have black potential. Second was its health. For a rare rank Pokemon, 3800 health points was just too much. It must also be considered that Miltank was a very bulky Pokemon.
Third were its stats and almost all of them were in S rank. Axel didn't know how Ava was able to achieve it as most of the time a Pokemon would show the sign of rank up when its stats reach B rank.
Fourth were its moves. Most of them were common moves but if Axel were to think about Miltank and its physical powers, this was going to be a difficult battle. It also had 1 new active move and a passive move.
Having a passive move was always a major advantage. It was also not very easy to gain one as only the lucky ones could have a passive move.
Finally was its core mastery which was at 89%. In short, Miltank was a perfect Pokemon in every way. If Axel had raised a Pokemon considering no time limit and no limit of resources, then this Miltank would perfectly fit in that category.
Taking a deep breath, Axel looked at the description of its new moves.
---
Full Armor: By manipulating normal-type energy, the user is able to coat its self with and aura of armor which would increase its special defense and physical defense. It would not compromise in speed.
Enhanced Adaptability:
Stage I- Its body is more in line with its brain. Its reaction speed and nerves have improved and it can make instant fast decisions and reactions.
---
'Wait, wait, wait. Aren't these moves just too powerful?', thought Axel to himself.
The first was 'Full armor'. Axel didn't know how much its defense would increase but this would clearly put Miltank in a better position as its speed would not be compromised.
Second was the passive move 'Enhanced Adaptability'. Wasn't this move a copied and evolved version of Minato's ability in Naruto World?
In the world of Naruto, Namikaze Minato was considered to be the fastest man in the history of the world. However, it was not only due to his Flying thunder god Jutsu but also due to his nerve reflex which was almost inhuman.
Axel didn't know how broken this move really was and considering it being only at Stage I, it might not be so broken but if this move was even 50% of Minato's ability then he was screwed.
"The challenger is requested to send out his Pokemon.", said the referee and Axel came out of his own zone when he heard the referee. In those seconds, Axel had already made multiple plans to tackle this problem and he had many solutions but none of them were perfect.
Axel nodded and called out Primeape.
"Gary, Come out.", shouted Axel and threw a master ball in the air and Primeape came out of it giving powerful roars.
ROOOOARRR
It was ready to battle.
"Gary, just follow my instructions and we will be okay.", said Axel.
Primeape looked at Axel and nodded its head. It had trained a lot in the past month and since it had completed its ability mastery, it was now fully focused on moves mastery and body stats mastery.
Among the 3 of them, Primeape was the slowest to rank up due to its ability mastery. Its ability was the bane of its existence but now since it had concurred its ability, the same ability had become its strength.
"Are you both ready to battle?", asked the referee.
"Yes, I am."
"Yes."
"Let the battle begin!!!"
