Chapter 153: Made of Ice
"Please….Please.. this time"
Tik.. Tik..Tik…!!!
"Yes, Finally got it!!! YEIPIIII!!!!"
It was the fifth day.
Except for Axel, everyone had caught their Pokemon. Ryker had Magmar on the first day. Lance and Lorelai caught Arcanine and Jynx on the second day. Lyra had finally caught Poliwarth on the fifth day. Lorelai was lucky to catch Jynx as it was a rare Pokemon.
Only Axel was left to catch his Pokemon. There were many powerful Pokemon that they encountered but none of them were to Axel's liking. They were still on the schedule so nobody gave it much thought.
The only reason Axel had not caught any Pokemon was due to its potential. It was hard to find a Pokemon with good potential in the wild. Axel had not told any of his group about the potential of their Pokemon. They were not as close as the crazies from the Venu family so he didn't have any obligation to help them. Lorelai's Jynx had the lowest potential of green (Normal) among the group. It was to be expected. The natural habitat of Jynx was a place filled with snow and ice. It was already a mystery as to why such a Pokemon lived here.
He had found a Brown (Monstrous) potential Linoone but the Pokemon didn't interest him so much. But now with only 2 days left, he was cursing himself for not catching it.
###
It was early morning. The other young trainers were getting familiar with their new Pokemon. All of them thought to help Axel catch his Pokemon first. They would start to train their Pokemon after it. They did not want to waste time. Over the last 5 days, the group had seen a lot of Pokemons. Mightyena, Beautifly, Slakoth, Machoke, Graveler, Rapidash, and many more. Axel realized that only the Pokemons from the Hoenn region and Kanto region were available here.
Exploring all morning, they have reached the end of the island- the beach. The group decided to take a rest while Axel was still searching for his fated partner. While walking, Axel found something interesting. At the corner of the beach, there were huge-sized rocks. But Axel could see something shining from the rocks that even made him close in eyes in defense.
"Guys, I think I found something!!!" shouted Axel and started to slowly walk towards the shiny object. The 4 young trainers started to run towards him. After walking near the rocks, he figured out what it was.
It was ice.
Which was surprising since the climate was not cold. The ice was at the entrance of the cave. The cave was small and Axel felt that he could hardly go inside with his held high.
"So, who is inside the cave?"
"How the hell should I know? I didn't come here before you."
"I feel there is some powerful Pokemon inside."
"You mean above rare ranked? But the map specifically mentioned that there would be Pokemon above rare ranked here"
The trainers started to make plans on how to explore the small cave. But Ryker didn't feel that it was necessary to make any plan. He had a straightforward answer. "I have a perfect plan for this. Magmar, use 'Flamethrower'"
"Hey Stop!!! What are you doing, I plan to catch it" shouted Axel hurriedly. Thankfully the flame didn't do inside the cave but they could hear steps coming from the cave.
Tak.. Tak.. Tak..Tak..
Since it was inside the cave, the sound of the steps was magnified. Lyra made a gulped sound and all of them slowly started to move backward. Slowly the body of the Pokemon could be seen by all of them.
The Pokemon was big, brown, and furry with an impressive hump on its back. It also had 2 tusks made of ice which looked small. Its eyes could not be seen as it was covered up by tufts of fur. The hairs on its back were standing up straight as if it was warning the group.
It was Piloswine.
This was a surprise for Axel. Just like Jynx, Piloswine also lived in cold and snowy places. But he was surprised again by the system
[Ding! A special quest has been issued.
Background: Piloswine's mother has been killed by a Tyranitar. However, Piloswine could not take revenge cause the Tyranitar is a Champion-ranked Pokemon. Frustrated it moved out of the area to settle in a rare ranked area as it didn't have its mother's protection.
Quest: Catch Piloswine and help it take revenge on Tyranitar.
Time: N/A
Rewards: Unknown.]
Axel looked closely to identify Piloswine.
[Ding!
Name: Piloswine
Gender: Male
Potential: Brown (Monstrous)]
"Guys, I have decided, I would catch it.", said Axel.
"Finally" exhaled Ryker. He had caught his Pokemon on the first day. So, it was frustrating to watch others try to catch it later and Axel was very choosy about his Pokemon. Lorelai was disappointed that she could not catch Piloswine.
###
Axel had hit a jackpot. It was hard to find a Pokemon with good potential in the wild. But this Piloswine was an anomaly. However, Axel could not catch it by throwing a Pokeball. It was a normal case, he would have just let one of his Pokemon fight it out and throw the Pokeball. But this Piloswine's mother had just died. It was not mentally stable. If Axel caught it like that, then his relationship with it would worsen over time. Axel didn't want that. So, he would just have to play a bit of drama.
