Chapter 75: Nidorino VS Nidorina (Edited)
After meeting with Mark, Axel went to Elder Adam for advice. Adam also said the same thing.
"The thing that you are asking me is very rare. Trainers don't train their Pokemon on elemental powers when they just evolve. There have been cases where they did but it didn't end well."
Adam became sad when he heard it. He wanted his Pokemon to grow fast but it seemed he had to rank up all his Pokemons to rare first.
"But there was one case, in which a trainer chose to train all his Pokemons on elemental powers when they just evolved to uncommon ranked."
"Oh, who was that trainer?" "You know him very well, at least you have heard of him countless times. His name is Samuel Oak."
Just as there is thunder music when the main spoiler is revealed in a movie, Axel felt thunderous background music in his head when he heard that name. Now everything was connected.
'So that is why he is the fastest person to ever become a Champion', thought Axel.
"Don't compare yourself to that man. He is a monster. I am not saying that you should never set a goal to be better than him. But if you start to compare him and research his accomplishment now, you would be like a frog in the pond watching the sky. You would never think from a different perspective. And you would never be better than him.
As a teacher, I am happy with your accomplishment. You evolved your Pokemon to uncommon rank within 3 months. Not many people could say that. It may take years for a trainer to evolve their Pokemon to an uncommon rank. So remember, take baby steps, and don't just jump out of the window."
After listening to both Mark and Elder Adam, Axel decided to heed their words. He had almost destroyed Nidorino's future when he told it to absorb the poison core. If he had not met MEW, it would have been disastrous. So, he would not play with Nidorino's future now and train it until it ranks up to a rare ranked Pokemon.
###
"Are you sure you want to do this? I mean Nidorino just evolved" "Yes, I want to see, how much powerful Nidorino has become." "Ok, I would be the referee and it is a good thing to gauge its battle powers."
Axel had just asked A to battle his Nidorina. He wanted to know how powerful Nidorino had become. And somehow, Nidorino seemed excited about its first battle. Axel was starting to realize that something was with Nidorino that he didn't know.
Roman had declared that he would be the referee for the battle.
Both of the Pokemons came to the battle stage and got ready for the fight.
"Let the Battle begin!!"
"Nidorina use 'Blizzard'"
"Nidorino use 'Earthquake'"
The moves were used after a lot of thinking. A knew that Axel would start with 'Earth quake' as it is super effective against Nidorina. So, he knew that Nidorina could not use close combat move as 'Earthquake' would already hinder it. 'Blizzard' was the only long-distance move that it had.
A howling blizzard was summoned by Nidorina. The winds generated by the snowstorm could be seen in the field and the visibility went down in an instant.
On another side, cracks started to form on the ground and in traveled all the way to Nidorina. The shaking of the ground was so massive that, Nidorina flew to the side from the impact.
'Earthquake' covered a huge distance and all others except for the 2 had to move out of the way. Nidorina was hit and badly so. Polls on the side fell onto Nidorina due to 'Earthquake'. But Nidorino also didn't fare well. Almost all of its body was frozen with ice and the ice was ticker on its face.
All of them, the trainers, teacher, and the Pokemons were shocked by seeing the destruction of 'Earthquake'. Nearby trees had fallen, Roman was down on the ground and there were many cracks and holes on the ground. If Nidorina had not dodged, it would have already lost.
Everyone knew that Nidorino's 'Earthquake' was not so powerful before its evolution. 'Earthquake' seemed to have got a huge boost in power.
I thought the level of earthquake mastery didn't change after evolution, but its body stats did. This may be the reason for its increase in power.'
Axel had realized the power of improving body stats by now. So he had cemented his decision on training it to the peak of rare rank.
For a moment both of the Pokemons tried their best to stabilize themselves. But A could see Nidorino taking a deep breath and staring at Nidorina.
"Shit! Nidorina, control yourself and use 'Horn attack' fast. A knew Nidorino was using 'Focus energy', when he saw it taking a deep breath.
But Nidorina took some time to control itself. At that very moment, the group could see some cracks appearing on the frozen Nidorino's body. By the time Nidorina was ready to use its move, the ice shattered and everyone could hear a huge roar coming from Nidorino.
"Roooaaarrrrrrr...."
"Nidorino, NOW!!", shouted A with urgency.
"Nidorino, use 'Horn drill'", said Axel. For a second, A could not even register what Axel had said.
'Horn drill' was a new move that Nidorino had automatically learned after its evolution. By the time, A realized it, both of the Pokemons had already clashed.
Nidorina's horn hit Nidorino's head. But it could not do much damage because of Nidorino's 'Horn drill'. 'Horn drill' is a move where the user rotates its horn like a drill and hits the target.
The drilling horn stabbed Nidorina's stomach. The horn went inside the stomach and Nidorino's charged did not stop until it rammed Nidorina into a falling tree. Due to the spinning horn, a lot of blood had spattered on the ground. Thank Arceus that the horn didn't pierce its stomach. Otherwise, instead of blood, its intestine would have come out.
