Kapitel 439: Kross Vs Axel

"Sir, a pseudo-king rank Pokemon within 1 year would be very hard for all of us. Don't you think so?", asked one of the team members.

Ashmita came closer and spoke the name of the team member in Axel's ear. It was very hard to know the names of all of them as there were more than 6,000 members.

Axel didn't want to ask the name of his team members cause he believed that he should know the name of the team members. It would take some time to know the names of all of them.

"Kevin, if we were to just train our Pokemons normally then yes, it would be very hard. However, I have some tricks and hacks. If you were to apply it, having 1 pseudo-king rank Pokemon would not be a problem.", said Axel.

"Sir, we want to know your plan.", said Kevin.

"The first problem to train your Pokemons would be money. We are a good amount of money right now. Your guys have collected 560 billion Poke dollars. I have also invested 1 trillion Poke dollars and I won 1 trillion Poke dollars today from the bet.

However, that would not be enough for all of us. So, we would be taking the mission from the league association.

Let me tell you, you would not be taking any risky missions. Ashmita here would determine whether the mission is risky or not and if it is found risky, you would not take it.

I don't want any of you to die without a cause. In fact, I am very greedy. I don't want any of you to die till you retire.

When you take the mission, each of you will be in a group. A group of 5 people. This group should be selected very carefully cause this group would not change unless you come to me with a complaint.

The group should consist of members who would focus on special attack, attack, defense, special defense, and agility and for the nighttime, one of them should be a ghost-type specialist. One of the members should also have a good flying type Pokemon.

All of you are given a week to form the teams.

20% of the money earned would be contributed to the team.

Ashmita and I would be in charge of investing the team's money. If any of you are in need of money for any reason, you can come to me to ask for it. I will make a procedure for all of it.

If you are in need of type-enhancing items or medical expenses for your Pokemons, you are welcome to come to me cause those would be very expensive.

The second would be transportation expenses cause all of you would be traveling a lot. I have already contacted 'Primal Airlines' to give us a heavy discount. The CEO of 'Primal Airlines' had set up a meeting with me and I believe that it would be a success.

The reason for transportation is to train your Pokemon. I am thinking of buying a forest and all of you would train your Pokemon in that forest.

Why?

I have a special power that would let your Pokemon gain more power if you were to train on my purchased land. I am not going into details about it but just believe me on it.

With all of this, I believe that all of you would have a pseudo-king rank Pokemon by the end of this year."

###

Axel was asked many questions and he answered all of them. Axel was now going to buy a forest so that his 'Land management' would help his team members.

He first thought to train all of his team members in the newly made training ground. But then he realized that it would be impossible. The training grounds were not made for so many trainers.

"Sir, which forest do you plan to buy?", asked Hector.

"We have to do a lot of research on it. I want to buy the forest which is connected with as many cities as possible. It should be inside the Kanto region.

I want our members to have access to a lot of quest from the league association.

Ashmita and Troy. You are responsible for this task.

Hector, I have noticed that you are also training the members on traps and our strategy during the tide.

You and Sam would come up with new trap methods and multiple strategies to fight with different types of tides and also determine our current powers.

I want to know, up to which rank of the tide, could we fight against? All 4 of you are given a week for this task.

However, none of you are excused for no training. You should also train yourself and your Pokemons.", said Axel.

###

Axel was going to fight tomorrow. His opponent was Kross. Kross had lost to Gayden yesterday. He had used Electabuzz and it was a powerful pseudo-king rank Pokemon. None of the participants had used a king-rank Pokemon except for Axel.

###

Next day,

In the stadium,

The judges were talking and discussing who was going to win the league battle. They were also talking about the next match which was between Axel and Kross.

"So, the big question, Kross or Axel?", asked one of the judges.

"Axel would win. There is no doubt about it.", said another judge.

"Why is that?"

"Rick, you have seen how powerful Axel really is. I don't think Kross has a king-rank Pokemon. If he had one, he would have already used it 2 days ago.

Moreover, Electabuzz is weak to ground-type attacks and Nidoking knows some serious ground-type moves."

"Heena, you seem to be very confident about Axel. Do you really think that Kross only has 1 Pokemon? He could use another Pokemon that does not have a weakness to ground type."

"I know he could use another Pokemon but I believe that Electabuzz is the strongest Pokemon of Kross. If he were to use another Pokemon, it would be weaker than Axel's Pokemon. If he were to use Electabuzz, then he would also lose.

Kross is losing this battle anyhow. There is no point for any discussion."

"First of all, it is not a given that a pseudo-king rank Pokemon could not win against king-rank Pokemon. Yes, it would be very hard, but such things are not unheard of.

Secondly, how can we say that Kross doesn't have a Pokemon that is as powerful as Electabuzz? He might also have a Pokemon that is more powerful than Electabuzz. I think you are underestimating Kross."

The discussion went on and on. The crowd was also thinking the same thing. Some of them thought that Kross would be a dark horse and surprise them today. Most of them thought that Kross would lose.

If Kross could not win today, he would be out of the league battle. That was why the discussions were so fierce.

###

Axel knew that he was going to win against Kross. He didn't care if Kross had a king-rank Pokemon. He was confident.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has come. Would Kross surprise all of us or would he be out of the competition? We will have to see. Now, let's welcome both of them to the stage."

Both of them walked out of the stage and the crowd went wild again. This battle was going to be interesting. Every one knew that.

Axel was seen as a fan favorite but there were still some hardcore Kross supporters.

Kross was not a talker like Trams. He also didn't talk at all cause he was under a lot of pressure. He had to win this battle.

The referee tossed the coin and this time Axel lost.

"Contestant Axel, please send out your Pokemon.", said the referee.

Axel threw the ball and out came Nidoking.

Axel didn't know what Pokemon Kross was going to use but he didn't want to risk it so he called out Nidoking.

"Contestant Kross, send out your Pokemon.", said the referee.

Kross threw his ball and out came a Pokemon.

The Pokemon was not bipedal like Electabuzz. It had hoves and 2 big horns. It looked like a bull and it was brown in color.

"Kross had taken out a Tauros.!!!", commented the commentator.

"That is a smart move for Kross. This Tauros looks powerful. It must be at the peak of pseudo-king rank. It is as powerful as Electabuzz.", said Rick, the judge.

The judge was right. It was a smart move. If he had used Electabuzz again, he would have lost for sure. But he used Tauros who was a normal type of Pokemon.

Tauros was a Pokemon that had high defense and special defense. It also had high speed and high attack power. Nidoking was slow. That was the only disadvantage of it.

So, the speed of Tauros could come in handy. However, it was still not a king-rank Pokemon.

If it was a normal Nidoking who was a king rank, there might have been a chance for Tauros to win this battle. But Nidoking was personally trained by Axel. It was not a normal Pokemon. Its body stats were very high for a king rank who had just ranked up.

Its move comprehension was also very good. It had many new moves and a lot of its moves had crossed the threshold and had been modified. It also had its pre-domain move which was not something Tauros could defend against.

"Let the battle begin!!!"

The crowd had expected the battle to be interesting and long but the battle was finished within a minute.

Axel didn't want to extend the battle. He directly told Nidoking to start with the 'Poison domain'.

'Poison domain' would now cover an area of 7 meters and the ground would be filled with poison waves. The domain would not only help Nidoking to poison the enemy but also empower itself.

All of its stats would increase by 10% when it was inside the domain. It may not seem like a lot but Nidoking had very high body stats and it was also a king-rank Pokemon.

10% was a huge increase.

Nidoking also used 'Sludge wave' and after some time Tauros was poisoned. It then used 'Poison spread' and 'Poison damage transfer'. It also used 'Poison ball' and 'Earthquake' and the battle was finished.

It had won and Kross was now out of the league.

###

Axel didn't have to fight tomorrow. It seemed like Gayden also won against Trams. Both of them now had 4 points. Kross and Trams were now out of the league.

Axel and Gayden were the final contenders for Group C. Lance had also won 2 battles and he also had a high chance to go to the finals. Bruno also dominated the battles.

###

Axel was concentrating on how to improve the battle powers of his team. If the league approved the title, Axel would have a personal force of powerful trainers with him.

That would be huge. He didn't have to rely on others for anything. Having an army to do anything would be great. They could explore new places and claim those places for themselves.

Axel could do a lot of things from this group. He had to think of a name for the group. He didn't want a normal or a weak name but a unique and powerful name.

The search for the forest was still going on. Any forest could be bought at a very low price. There were 2 reasons for it.

First, no one wanted to buy a forest. Handling a forest was not an easy task.

Second, who was going to control and fend off wild Pokemons in the forest? Some of them could be even in king rank.

Ashmita and Troy were quick to their task. They found 4 forest locations that were ideal for the team.

Axel looked at the file and started to see all the details of this forest.

"We will select this forest. It is very big and it is connected with 4 cities and 2 towns. This is ideal. The team could get a good amount of quests from these cities and they could also train their Pokemons.

The forest seems to be very mysterious and dangerous. There doesn't seem to be any road made by the league in that forest. This would give us more privacy.", said Axel.

"But sir, this forest has not been fully explored. It is rumored that there are many king-rank Pokemons out there. It could be dangerous for our members to train there.", said Ashmita.

"You don't have to worry about it. I will take care of it. After the league battle is over, we will go there and I will handle it.", said Axel.

Hector and Sam were still figuring out new trap strategies. They still had not finished with it. Axel was also working on it separately. He wanted to see how much his lieutenants could think about it.

He also told Mary and Kane to be involved in this task. Alon and Dornton were still training their Pokemons to reach pseudo-king rank status.

###

Trams didn't back down from his word and he transferred 1 trillion Poke dollars to Axel's account. Axel didn't know where he got that amount of money. His family must have used every bit of their money for this bet.

Axel was now 1 trillion Poke dollars richer and he was happy with it.

2 days went on a flash and now it was time for his fight with Gayden. The hype was real this time. This would be the last day of round robin and then the league battle would move towards the finals.

The crowd was heavily thinking about Axel's win. It was to be expected. He was the only one who had shown a king-rank Pokemon and it was estimated that no one had a king-rank Pokemon except for Axel.

So, many of them thought that Axel was sure to win and internally he was also sure about it.
