As the days were going, Kota was training his pokemons with his best.
With a blink of an eye, three days went by. Because of heavy rain, Kota had to go and settle in a cave.
Gyarados can now fire Hyper Beam for almost ten seconds without stopping.
Scizor can now run on the surface of water without splashing water.
Nidorino had the highest development in the past three days. He can now shatter boulders with a single hit of his horn.
Onix was not trained yet by Kota because Charizard was using him like a weight for strength training.
Gengar is slowly starting to show more increase in stamina, strength, agility and durability.
He can now break a tree with three hits of Shadow Balls unlike before.
Sitting on a corner beside Charizard, Kota stared out of the cave.
*Grm*
It can't exactly be called a storm because there was no strong wind but just heavy rain.
In the lake, Gyarados was still training together with Scizor.
Gengar and Nidorino were also training, those four were totally unaffected by the rain.
Both Onix and Charizard had disadvantage to the rain so Kota let them rest today.
At first Charizard thought he was dreaming but since he got the chance, he directly laid his body inside the cave and slept.
Onix rested inside his pokeball, he was unaware of how cruel Kota could be.
When the rain was gone, the training continued once again without mercy.
Days passed, Kota changed the way his pokemons trained after he felt it was right.
Just like that, it's been more than two months since Kota had left for his journey.

Walking in the forest, Kota met with many wild pokemons.
He caught some, and the rest were left alone. He was coming near to his next destination.
Kota crossed two more cities to reach Fuchsia City, it took him two weeks for that.
From the mountain top, Kota could already see the outline of the city.
It wasn't that modern looking but one shouldn't guess the other's character by their appearance.
Walking in the city, Kota left as if he had returned to the old days as a young boy.
Not to say that Kota was any adult to begin with.
Being daytime, Kota first headed towards the direction of the city gym.
Soon he then came to an old fashioned house made of wood.
Pushing the gate open, Kota entered the building compound.
Suddenly, a Shadow came behind Kota like wind and scared him to the core.
"Who are you? Why have you come here?, " Asked the person narrowing her eyes at Kota.
Aya, a ninja and a Pokémon Trainer who specializes in Poison-type Pokémon.
She is the younger sister of Koga, the Fuchsia City Gym Leader, and is a student of the Gym.
"I am Kota and I am here to challenge the gym, " Replied Kota while taking out his pokedex and showing it to Aya.
The pokedex can also be used as an identity by all the trainers in the world.
"Oh! You are here to challenge my brother, " Said Aya, she then jumped up on the first floor of the building.
'Do I need to do that like her to enter the building?, ' Though Kota but he shook his head and entered through the main door.

Hall___
In a big room, Kota stood in front of the Fuchsia City Gym Leader, Koga.
"This will be a two vs two pokemon battle between the gym leader and the challenger!".
Aya acted as the referee and explained the basic rules of a gym battle.
"Go, Venomoth!, " Koga's first pokemon came out in a flash of light.
Venomoth, a dual-type bug/poison pokemon. It flew in the air before Koga.
"Venomoth!"
Kota changed his mind and didn't choose Charizard for instant victory.
"Scizor, let's see how fast you have become, " Kota threw the pokeball and Scizor came out.
"Scizor!"
Scizor looked at the Venomoth in front of him and clenched his claws.
"Venomoth, Psybeam!, " Said Koga, Venomoth nodded his head and was about to attack.
But suddenly a shadow came right next to Venomoth and slammed it.
"Scizor!"
With the Bullet Punch move, Scizor directly hit Venomoth, sending it crashing on the wall.
"Venomoth!"
Venomoth fell on the floor and was knocked out, making Koga and Aya stunned.
"With just a single move!, " Aya couldn't even see how Scizor slammed Venomoth.
"Thank you, " Koga smiled bitterly and called Venomoth back in his pokeball.
"Golbat, it's all on you now!, " Koga threw another pokeball from which came out a bat pokemon.
Golbat, a poison/flying-type Pokemon.
"Golbat! Air Slash!, " Shouted Koga clenching his fists, he was worried.
Golbat flapped his wings and sent out multiple sharp wind blades.
"Scizor!"
Scizor kicked off from the floor and came behind Golbat within a single second.
"Rock Smash!, " Said Kota with a smile on his face. Scizor with his shining claw, crushed Golbat on the floor.
*Bam*
The floor broke with the impact, Golbat saw stars as it was unable to continue to fight anymore.
Another win within seconds. Koga was dumbfounded by the speed of Scizor.
"Challenger Kota won the match with two consecutive victories!, " Aya said with her voice shaking a little bit because of Scizor.
It was not even a minute and Kota already defeated Koga with only one of his pokemons.
"Your Scizor is just too fast for me to even see, " Said Koga walking near Kota and handing him the Soul Badge.
"I shall leave, " Taking the badge, Kota then left the building compound.
In the city, he book at room and rested for almost the entire day.
"I should get going, " Eating his breakfast, Kota exited the city and continued his journey.
His next destination was the Safari Zone, which was outside of Fuchsia City.
Following the road shown in the map, Kota walked until it was about the time of lunch.
Picking a spot to eat lunch and rest, Kota took two hours alone.
As he started walking again, after a few minutes he saw the building.
It was the main building of the Safari Zone which Kota was searching for.
Not waiting, Kota headed there. He is planning catch some pokemons there.
