Pokemon - A real story

Chapter 717: Tier 3 King rank

Axel's POV

Nowadays, all of Axel's time was spent on learning 'Enhanced recovery'. This kept him busy and also kept him motivated. Axel's mental state was far better than before and he was doing well. The only thing he could complain about right now was the uncertainty of his life.

He promised that if he was able to get out of here alive, he would use all of his time to find the culprit and that culprit would face his wrath. Axel may have done a lot of bad things but he had never done anything that would warrant such a treatment.

Axel didn't know how much time had passed but he knew that it had been a long time since he got his third punishment. He expected that it had been more than a month since he had been here.

There was no new notification of Shedinja either. Of course, it was not easy to evolve a move but he expected something very soon. He could see that Squirtle was doing fine and it was training a lot. Almost all of its stats were now in S rank except for agility stat. This could be understood as it was too lazy to move.

'So, 4 of the toes had recovered.', thought Axel to himself.

Yes, he was also doing his full training on 'Enhanced recovery' and after training a lot for multiple days, he had finally been able to recover at a faster rate. So, 4 of his toes from the right foot had come out and now they looked normal.

He would only concentrate on the last toe and after that, he would concentrate on his hand. This was his overall plan. Even though he had learned 'Enhanced recovery', he felt that he had not fully learned it. The efficiency was still not there and the wounds should recover faster as per his estimation.

It could be a day or two but now he was able to recover all of his toes and also all the swollen wounds on his right foot. Axel was quite happy with this development. Just as he was going to celebrate his small victory, the door started to creek.

'This is not the time for food or toilet. Why are they coming inside?', thought Axel.

Since Axel had been there for a long time, he could guess the time that the man would come for food and help him in the toilet. But today, the timing was different.

"Axel, my boy, it has been a long time since you asked the question. I was getting bored, so I came to meet you today.", said L.

His voice always carried a hint of a smile which Axel hated a lot.

"Oh, I have also been missing you for quite some time."

"That is good to hear. Oh, what is this? You have completely recovered your right foot. Now, that is interesting. Do you have some superpowers?

You know, I have always been a huge fan of yours. Your hard work and your Pokemons have inspired me a lot and now you can even do such kind of things.", said L.

"Thanks for the compliment.", replied Axel.

"Now, since you are done some supernatural shit to recover your feet, the punishment has been undone. So, I will have to do it again.", said L with a smiling face.

"What? But why? You never said that if I recovered, you will do it again.", asked Axel.

"Oh, I am sorry. I forgot. I should have told you about it. But what can I do, I am also a human and humans make mistakes.", said L.

"Oh come on L. I have not done anything to get my nail out again."

"That is the thing. You have not done anything for so long and it is making me mad. I mean, there is no fun out here. What can I do? And you also seem to forget that you are kidnapped and are at my mercy.

This is not a business transaction where you can claim your rights.", said L.

Axel realized that L was very right. He was the one who was kidnapped and L was just playing a game with him. While playing the game, Axel felt a bit of sureness but he totally forgot that L could break those rules whenever he wanted.

"Now, let's start with the pinky one.", said L with a smile.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Cynthia's POV

It had only been 2 weeks since she had come over here but Cynthia was already getting bored. She wanted to go to the other region to compete and get the badges. Since Garchomp was injured and needed a lot of her time, she had decided to not visit any other region during that time.

Now, that it had recovered, she was ready for a new adventure. New Pokemons, new regions, and new gyms to battle. That got her blood pumping.

She called her assistant to get herself registered in the Johto region. That was her target. She also wanted to fight against Axel but she came to know that Axel had been somehow kidnapped.

She did feel bad after hearing it but what could she do about it? She could just hope that Axel could be found alive. She had a score to settle with Axel.

"Let me enjoy myself here for a couple of weeks and then I will start with the Johto region.", she said to herself.

"Do you really want to stay here? I am getting bored now.", said Garchomp.

"I think I do. I feel that something interesting is going to happen on this island. It is just an instinct and I could be wrong but what if I am right?"

"Well, I don't mind staying here for some time. I really want to smash that Charizard and tell him that he made a mistake that day."

"You will obviously crush him. We have done a lot of training and now you are finally in pseudo-champion rank. It would not even be a challenge.", said Cynthia.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?", shouted a young man to a middle-aged man.

"Sir, since that guy had done so much to us, we decided to kidnap him and teach him a lesson. I was actually going to ask if we should kill him or not?", asked the middle-aged man.

"Do you know who that man is? How popular is his and his backing? We are not in a position to compete with them. Master is not ready to compete with that man. That is why we are laying low. But you have to go and then kidnap that man.

If we let him out, he will soon find out about us and we will have to go to war and if we kill him, others might find out about us and then kill us. We have no choice.

How can you be an executive to make such a crazy decision? You know what? You are just fired from your position. I will search for someone better who would not try to kill us.", said the young man.

"Sir, please don't do this to me. I just made a mistake. I should have asked you."

"No, there is no medicine for regret. You will have to suffer for it. Now, I will have to explain this to my master. I don't know what I will do."

Shedinja had been resting for the entire day. It was going to train in 'Shadow absorption' at night so it needed to rest. It was easier for Shedinja to use the move 'Shadow absorption' during the night. So, it had been waiting for the right time.

Just when the sun set down and then sea waves started to assault Shedinja, it closed its eyes and tried to concentrate on using the move. It had been doing this for more than a week.

Slowly, the shadow from the sea waves started to move towards Shedinja and it started to absorb it. The shadow of Shedinja looked like it was getting denser and wider and then suddenly everything turned to normal.

It was hard to grab the shadow of an inanimate object and control it. Shedinja didn't know why it would happen but it was very hard to control it.

'Let's just focus on increasing the speed and stamina and not other stats', thought Shedinja.

Normally, after the shadow had been absorbed, all the stats of Shedinja would increase by a good margin but now it was not happening and Shedinja had to think of another way.

After trying for an hour, there was still no result but Shedinja could feel that there was some progress.

Then suddenly one time, the shadow of the sea waves came to it smoothly. There was no friction like the last time and it was absorbed in Shedinja's shadow. Suddenly Shedinja felt very light and it felt that all of its fatigue had disappeared.

It knew that that had succeeded. It still took some time to get used to the new evolved move of 'Shadow absorption' and now it was ready to get to that that island.

It first used the move 'Gravity' to make it even lighter and then used the move 'Agility' to increase its speed further. Then it used 'Shadow absorption' to increase its speed once again and then rushed towards the island.

The speed of Shedinja had increased drastically by a huge margin. Its speed might even be compared to Charizard right now. Shedinja focused on short bursts of speed initially. In the short burst of speed, no one could defeat it, not even Charizard and Pidgeot but in the long run, its speed was not very impressive.

But now, things have changed. Its speed was now par to Charizard and it was moving very fast.

It flew for a few hours and then it felt that something happened to its body. It felt like its body was pumping up a lot of energy. This was very unusual to Shedinja.

Suddenly a bright glow enveloped it entirely and it just stood there to experience all the power up.

Shedinja was now ranking up to tier 3. This was well deserved as it had been doing its best to complete its mission.

Ding!

Shedinja has leveled up Shadow absorption to level 55. It could now absorb the shadow of an inanimate object which would increase its speed and stamina for 20 minutes.

Ding!

Shedinja's special attack has reached S rank.

Ding!

Shedinja is ranking up to tier 3 king rank.

This was the notification that he got suddenly. Axel who was starting to lose hope had finally received this notification and he was ecstatic. This meant a lot of things for Axel.

First of all, Shedinja was still alive. That was a very good news. He didn't know where it was going.

Secondly, Shedinja had just ranked up and it had become powerful once again. This meant that the time for his rescue had been immediately reduced.

Thirdly, he finally had a 3 tier 3 king rank Pokemons.

All of this gave him motivation and made him very happy. His training on 'Enhanced recovery' was also going very well. The toe nails that had been taken out had already been filled and only 1 toe was left to be healed. He didn't want to heal it as L would come again to take it out.

So he started to concentrate on his right hand and the fingernails. Axel could feel that he was very close to escaping and he knew it.
