83.26% Pokemon - A real story / Chapter 626: Enhanced Stamina

Chapter 626: Enhanced Stamina

Axel looked at those 9 things that he should master to master 'Enhanced Willpower'. They were:

1. Accelerated development

2. Control opposition

3. Enhanced Survivability

4. Indomitable courage

5. Pain suppression

6. Power Resistance

7. Psychic Shield

8. Strength Calling

9. Determined strength

 

Axel looked at the description of all of them and none of them were easy to accomplish. He knew that the system would send a notification when he mastered one of them but all of them were inhuman.

Among all these 9 points, 'Pain suppression' seemed doable to do right now. It was not that that 'Pain suppression' was easy but this was one of the few that could be accomplished through training.

'Pain suppression' meant that the user was highly resistant to physical pain of any kind, allowing them to think clearly and continue to move without even flinching despite horrific and grievous injuries. Users can continue to move, ignore torture, and generally function in situations where the pain would disable a normal person. The user does not react at all when damaged, they can walk onward as they are being damaged or continue fighting without stopping no matter how hard they are hit.

The user had to train at such a level that their brain would release massive amounts of endorphins that would suppress the pain. Axel would have to achieve multiple things to have 'Pain suppression'

Daze immunity: The user in no circumstances should be dazed or groggy, weakened or affected by blows and other things that would daze him and make him unable to fight. Flinch immunity: The user should not flinch Somatic pain immunity: The user should be able to move easily when he was in an uncomfortable position. Like, if his finger is on a pin, the user's movement should not compromise.

All of them basically said that the user's body functions should not be affected by pain. If Axel wanted to train on this, then he should hurt himself on a regular basis and very cruelly too. The tablet also said that this was basically impossible to do for a normal human as the human would first die before he/she could master 'Pain suppression', not unless he/she mastered 'Enhanced survivability' first.

All of these things were going round in round and Axel was starting to hate. He had started to learn a lot of things about aura. He never imagined that aura could do such things.

'Enhanced survivability' also had a lot of things to master to finally master it.

1. Enhanced health

2. Enhanced stamina

3. Enhanced recovery

4. Sleep suppression

5. Enhanced endurance.

 

He first went to 'Enhanced stamina' and finally he found something doable right now. 'Enhanced stamina' also had many things to do before mastering it.

First of all, Axel should be able to run at full speed for 4 hours and should be able to recover after 10 minutes of rest. Axel could jog for hours but he could not run at full speed for 4 hours. There were a lot of yoga poses and breathing exercises that he could do to achieve it.

The tablet also went on to say how to use aura to enhance stamina during his run. Running at full speed with aura and without aura was different. He may be able to achieve without aura but he was recommended to do it with manipulating aura so that it would be beneficial for him in the future. This was a sort of training on aura itself and Axel started to copy the breathing exercises.

The breathing exercise looked simple but it was very hard to perfectly replicate it. Axel had to manage the timing of it. It took him a full day to perfectly replicate the breathing exercise and when he started to run, he found out that he felt much easier to run for a long period of time. He felt as if his stamina had massively increased somehow and he was stupefied.

"What the fuck is going on?", he shouted to himself.

Stamina was not something that could be enhanced within a day. It would take months and even years to increase stamina to a good level and he did in a day.

He was extremely pleased about it and thought to just rest for the day.

###

Next day,

Axel woke up at 4:30 am today, a bit faster than his normal routine. He was excited about his training. He had increased his stamina to a good level by doing the breathing exercise and now he wanted to manipulate aura to improve his stamina.

Aura was a mysterious thing as it looked very simple but it could do so many things. It was a variation of infinity energy. Axel had to minutely control a wisp of his aura and then send it to his lungs to boost it. It could not be a huge amount as it might affect his lungs.

The tablet said to meditate for a few hours until the user felt that they could control it. There were some danger signs that the tablet mentioned and if Axel felt it then he should stop it and try to do it again. He tried this for 2 days but there was no result.

Meanwhile, his breathing exercise had gotten a lot better and those yoga poses were also helping him recover his stamina a lot faster than before.

###

It had been 7 more days and finally, Axel could control the aura to boost his lungs. However, he could only do that in a sitting position and he had to do it while running. So, that would take a lot of time. However, this was an initial success and Axel was happy about it.

He wanted to know how others were fairing in their training too. So, he first called Lance to find out.

"I am not doing well. I mean, I am certainly better and stronger than before but it is taking so much time to even achieve a single thing.", said Lance.

"Yeah, same here."

"Which way of aura did you choose to train in?", asked Lance.

"The second way. The way of emotions. Why did you choose the first one?", asked Axel.

"Isn't it a basic thing to do it? Even though I can now use 'Aura coat' right now, there are a lot of things in the tablet that are completely new. Father also said that he had never ever heard of most of these things. He is also training in the first way.

The better question is, why did you choose the second way?", asked Lance.

Axel was now feeling very stupid. Since, he knew some moves like 'Aura coat', and 'Aura strike', he felt that he had learned enough. But after hearing from Lance, he felt that he should have also started with the first way and had made a strong foundation before going to the second way.

However, now Axel didn't want to revert back to the first way. He had already started the second way and for some reason, Axel felt that the second way was the one that trained him in basic. Training to master 'Enhanced stamina' looked basic to him. So, he felt that he should continue with the second one.

"I have no idea. I think I am stupid. So, is there no one who is training on the second way? I have not talked to any of them after coming here."

"You are in luck. It turns out that Kate is also training in a second way. You guys could bond over it."

"Really? Why would she choose it?"

"The hell would I know? She is weird, so I don't talk much to her.", replied Lance.

After talking with Lance for a couple more minutes, Axel hung off the phone and then called Kate instead.

Tring.. Tring.. Tring.. Tring..

"Hello.", said Kate.

"So, you are also training in the second way of aura from the tablet?", asked Axel.

"Oh, Hello Kate. How are doing this fine morning? Did you have your breakfast?", asked Kate mimicking Axel.

"Kate, why are you talking to yourself?", asked Axel in a confused voice.

"Axel, do you understand the concept of sarcasm?"

Suddenly a light bulb went on his head and he understood that he was trying to date this girl and he should be polite and talk about nonessential things with her first.

"Oh, so did you have your breakfast?", asked Axel in a polite voice.

Axel could hear a soft chuckle from Kate's side and she said, "Yes, I did. I take breakfast very seriously."

This went on for 30 more minutes and it was not that Axel hated talking with Kate about how was her day. Or what her sister did or how she was going to solve her friend's crisis but Axel always did everything with a deadline set in his mind.

He was the most powerful trainer in his group due to his discipline and he always cared about what he was doing for his career. So, from the outside, he was talking with a happy voice but from the inside, he wanted to rip her mouth off and then sew it back in so that she would just shut the hell up for a second. He never imagined that Kate could talk for so long.

He did love her voice and the way she talked but his patience was waning in, so he took a shot.

"So, what about the second way of aura? Why did you choose it? Most of our friends chose the first way but you did the opposite."

"You also chose it. Why did you do it?"

"I asked you first."

"Oh, that is right. I didn't have any secret reason to choose. I have been told by my parents that I don't handle emotions very well. I get too emotional and then make bad decisions.

So, I thought to choose the second way to counter that problem. I must say, the result is really bad."

"How so?"

"You are talking as if you have not seen it. It is extremely hard to master the second way. My father was also surprised by the way emotions could be so profound. I am stuck on it. How is your progress?"

"Well, I thought to master 'Tranquil state' but it is very slow and I don't think that I could master it too. The requirements are inhuman. However, I do believe that I could master half of it."

"Oh, so you went the 'Tranquil state' too?"

"Yes, I did. How is your progress?"

"I don't think that I could master 'Indomitable will' but I want to believe that I could master 'Enhanced willpower' with enough practice. I have not read anything about 'Emotion negation'."

"You are doing the same thing as me."

They talked for some time. Kate also shared her curiosity and both of them decided to have a competition. The person who will master the 'Enhanced willpower' before the other would win. It was just a simple bet.

After talking with Kate, Axel realized that it was doable. It would just take a lot of time. After talking with Kate, it was already afternoon. That was when he hung off the phone.

It was now time to talk to Bourne too. Bourne had been concentrating on his research. Even though he had not discovered anything substantial, he was happy with the result.

"When will we be going to our first expedition?", asked Bourne.

They had to go somewhere for more evidence now.

"Don't worry, we will go there. First, we need to hire an expedition team and I know where to do it. However, I am busy for a couple of months. We will go there after a couple of months.", replied Axel.

"Ok, I am not the one who has to worry about the time. When will you go from here?", asked Bourne.

"After 3 days."

"So, you have prepared for the 'Rising Star tournament'?"

"Yes, I am fully prepared."

Chapter 627: Training plans

It had been 2 weeks since he restarted to personally train his Pokemons. Nowadays, he started to realize that he didn't have much time. He had a lot of extra things to do. First was himself with his aura training. He was also given the responsibility of teaching Frank who was set to come to him tomorrow, 3 noisy little girls, his own sister, looking after his own family business, and many other things. 

But now, he wanted to get away from all of them and focus on the progress of his Pokemons's training. That was why he chose to participate in the 'Rising Star Tournament'.

'Rising Star Tournament' might look small but it was actually a very big tournament. It might be the biggest tournament in the whole world because it not only encompasses the Kanto region but all other major regions. 

'Rising Star Tournament' was the baby of collaborations of kings and queens of all major 8 regions. In the world of Pokemon, there were still kings and queens but the actual power was held by the league and the gym leaders with elite 4 and champions and finally the Pokemon master.

This was a world where actual power was appreciated. It was not that the kings and queens didn't have their army of powerful trainers with them but since the establishment of the league, their influence had been very limited. The number of powerful trainers under them paled in comparison to the league. 

They were just the kings and queens under a name. All the influential and impactful decisions were taken by the league and gym leaders. So, all of the kings and queens of the major regions came together and came up with the idea of 'Rising star tournament.'

'Rising star' was a student program where the students would learn at a discounted rate. After learning for a couple of years, there would be a test, and then first, second, and third would get some prizes.

It would not end there. Every 5 years, every region would hold a rising star tournament where the first, second and third students would get to participate. So with being held every 5 years, would there only be 15 trainers in the tournament? The answer is No.

There would be a lot of trainers in that tournament. The tournament was not only for the top 3 students but also for those who had shown exceptional qualities as a trainer. The students that had participated in the tournament before and had lost could also participate but there were 2 conditions attached to it.

First, the student would have to swear loyalty and be a soldier under the king and secondly, the age of the student should not exceed 30 years. Many would choose to do it cause the winner of the tournament and the runner-up would get exciting prizes, money, and resources. 

This would let the kings and queens have sizable trainers under them who are ready to defend them at the time of their need. But why would the league not intervene on it?

The answer was simple. The league was very massive and it would not bother to do anything cause they knew that even with all this, the king and the queen would not have the power to shake them off. 

###

The winner and the first runner-up of every region would gather together and fight in separate tournaments every 10 years and the winner of that tournament would also get exciting prizes. As of right now, Axel was going to fight in the regional tournament. 

The winner of the tournament would not only get prizes but also would be famous around the whole region and it was considered to be a very tough tournament. 

So, why would Axel consider registering for such a tournament? He had the money and the resources and he was also very famous. He didn't need to go there.

He was doing it for only one reason and that was the Pokemon battle. It was not every day that Axel could have multiple Pokemon battles with many trainers.

The trainers there also had rare rank Pokemons, so his young Pokemons could also fight and have some experience. Since this was not the gym battle or league battle, he could use any Pokemons that he wanted.

That was why he had been training his young and old Pokemons for the past 2 weeks and had been concentrating on them. 2 weeks would not make them exceptionally powerful but Axel wanted to remove at least one of their problems.

###

2 weeks ago,

After reading the tablet for a couple of hours, Axel looked at the stat of Togetic.

 ---

Hidden power: Fairy (25%)

Fairy Dew: 28% consumed

 ---

Togetic really was a monster. It had only been less than a month since it ranked up but it was already so powerful. This was also mainly due to 'Fairy dew'. 'Fairy dew' was one of the most coveted resources for a fairy-type Pokemon as it didn't have an instant effect. It would take a lot of training and time for Togetic to consume all the essence of 'Fairy dew'. As of right now, it had only consumed 28% of it.

Togetic main focus was on its special attack and so it had been training on a lot of it. Due to 'Fairy dew' and Axel's talent it was able to rank up special attack to B rank which was pretty huge. If it went on like this, then after 2 weeks it would have its rank-up condition. However, Axel was not going to let it rank up too fast.

After talking with Cody and looking at his Venusaur, Axel had come to a painful realization that early rank-up was not going to be good for any Pokemon. The Pokemon would have to have a decent amount of experience to rank. Only then, could they show their true powers when they reach king rank.

"Togetic, first you will train hard on the move 'Ancient power'. Now, all of you must be wondering, why should you train on this move? Now, look at Charles and Mamoswine. 

Do you know that both of them normally didn't look like this? They powered up and got a new form due to 'Ancient power'. The move is difficult to master but if you do, you will have more power at your disposal.

So, I want all of you who could learn this move to concentrate on it. Now, don't feel down. For those, that could learn this move, I have other things for you too.", said Axel to others and then concentrated on Togetic.

"Togetic, in these 2 weeks, you will level up 'Extrasensory', 'Stored power', and 'Egg defense' to level 40. You must also have realized the power of leveling the move to level 40. The relevance of it would increase when you increase the move's level further. Just look at your 'Dazzling gleam'. It could now be used to give you some breathing time during a time of need.", said Axel as he himself looked at the moves description.

 ---

Dazzling Gleam (Togetic) (Level 40): Surround yourself with a compressed fairy aura that can defend against all attacks and after holding it for some time, the user could let it go for the explosion.

 (Level 45): Flares up an intense light that would make the target blind for a few seconds if the target didn't close its eyes. 

--- 

Togetic had leveled up this move while training for the gym but since it didn't fight in the gym battle, it could not show its brilliance. That was why Togetic made Axel promise that it would fight first in the next gym battle. 

"You will also be learning a new move and yes, I have already thought of what it would be. Finally, you will fight against different Pokemons from our family to know about your weaknesses and strengths and know to make some battle strategies."

Axel then looked at everyone and said, "I want all of you to know that you have come out of your baby stage. So, now you will also have to think about strategies yourself when you are in battle. Of course, I would be assisting you in the battle but I cannot do that all the time. What if something happened during the tide battle when I was not around?

You are adults now, so you will have to think about it yourself."

He wanted to make them independent from a young stage. Axel had thought of a couple of fighting strategies for all of them and they would use the same during the battle. After it accustomed to it, they also start to think about how to battle different Pokemons in different terrains and conditions.

Togetic came near Axel and asked what its new move was going to be. It was extremely existed to know about it. It wanted to learn new moves so that it could crush its opponents.

"Now listen to me very carefully. You should know that your species can tell if any life form is happy or sad. You can tell the basic emotions. I want to capitalize on this and increase your battle sense to a very high level. 

Of course, it would take a lot of time, but if you could tell what they are going to do before they even do it, you would be invincible. Don't you think so?"

Togetic started to listen to Axel very intently. It had been told by its mother that their species would bring joy to anyone's life. They could even tell what that species was feeling. But as far as it could remember, it was not proficient in it. It was not that it was a defective piece but it never thought to train on this power. Its mother had always told it to train in this but it was thought to be a waste of time. 

Now, hearing Axel, it started to think that it had missed a chance to learn this move from its mother. If it could tell what others were thinking, it could dodge their moves and even defend against them. This might be the best move that it would ever learn.

Togetic immediately started to think of what its mother had said to train it. It was not very vague to remember, but since it never concentrated on a word that its mother had said thinking that it was the ultimate boss, it was hard to remember all of them.

Axel began to say that it would have learned this move on its own as this move was more biological than just training on it.

Togetic said that it would learn this move with determination and went right into it.

He had finally told his Togetic to concentrate on its new training plan. It was now time to look for others.
