As we were nearing the Oreburgh gym my training also increased exponentially.
While my training with speed and acceleration were showing the results the Absorb was still an issue after many unsuccessful attempts to sense the energy while just standing proved to be quite difficult so I started trying sensing the enegy while using synthesis and after a lot of efforts I started sensing the energy in the tree, After that I started sensing enegy in other pokemons well my primary target was pikachu.
From the day I started sensing energy pickachu always felt some nervousness like someone is watching him all the time with sinister eyes but every time he tried finding the culprit he couldn't find it.
After doing it for days I have finally sensed the energy in the pickachu and my next plan begins I will slowly use absorb and try to absorb energy from pickachu so that he couldn't detect the changes and I will also practice my moves.
After that day pickchu also felt exhausted very quickly, he felt like his energy always decreaed rapidly than before and he even ate more pokemon food but still can't get much energy, even the Ash and team found it quite concerning and at one point planning to go to pokemon center.
Well pokemon center is not near but I will try to distribute my absorb so the effects are not that bad saying this not only pickachu I also started using absorb on piplup simultaneously which distributing the effect on both of them.
Now piplup also felt more exhausted but not that much and team planned to check this in pokemon center as this was as always I was training in even more energy while getting energy from other pokemons.
And now I have mastered the absorb move and this will be my Trump card in the gym match.
As the days continued we reached the Gym it looked some high class gym and when we got to the entrance we saw our rival Paul exiting through the door.
"Hey Paul you also came here"
Well Ash said in his same excited tone and as usual the conversation and same as anime the Gym trainer Roark was not there so we left to the mining region where we found Roark talking to the fossils well that looked quite cool I also want to learn that.
We also got to know that the fossils can be Ressurected well that is most cool thing I have heard in many days well when I saw it in anime it was just anime to me now that I am in anime Ressurecting an fossil looked way cooler.
I also wanted a resurrected pokemon but I am a pokemon now not a pokemon trainer.
As these thoughts were coming in my mind we went to the Gym where Paul challenged him first and Ash requested to see the battle and then we are sitting now in audience to see the battle. Well I already know the result but why not see it.
As the battle started Paul used Azumarail which got quickly defeated by jeodudes quick rollout that was pretty good move, then Paul used elekid well I always respected the elekid he was one of the best pokemons in this sonnoh season and with the harsh training he got from Paul he was also one of the strongest with elekid using only one brik brake he defeated the geodude, then came the onex with his speed and various moves which I have never seen onex use like double edge, stealth rock it overwhelmed the elekid, so Paul switched pokemon with chimchar who basically used dig to defeat onex easily honestly I don't understand why can't onex also use dig isn't that his speciality well I will just ignore it and after that came cranidos who used all types headbuts on chimchar and after gotten him for this much time chimchar activated blaze and attacked on cranidos's leg and then same even if chimchar got defeated it has done it's work and then elekid was attacking again and again on its leg and after some time Paul won the battle. Huh how brutal to win a battle like this I will show him how win it elegantly.
