บท 54: Blaine

Magmar struggled to get up as he had been paralyzed and was soaking wet. The flames on his body had decreased so much he couldn't even shake off the water that was on him. He tried to burn the electricity and water away from his body but every step that he took he was extreme pain. Blaine saw this and told Magmar to give up and that this battle was over, but this caused Magmar who had a bad temper to roar in rage.

He came out of the paralyzation and evaporated all the water that had come on his body. Blaine could only shake his head as he said" fine do as you please but you're fighting a losing battle at this point because this guy can use moves with your weakness and that makes him extremely dangerous.

All Magmar knew was that he wanted to defeat this Pokemon no matter what, so he started charging up a Fire Fist while approaching Shadow who thought he had won so he had landed on the ground and was awaiting that next battle but he could see that Magmar was full of spirit even though he had a couple of injuries written on him.

Just when Magmar was about to connect the Fire Punch on Shadow, Shadow just smirked and unleashed a Hyper Beam blasting Magmar away once again into the wall but this time Magmar had fainted after a few more struggles he decided to give up because his own trainer had given up.

Blaine knew that this would cause resentment with Magmar but he was going to make it up to him. Liam thanked Blaine for the great battle and collected his gym badge, Blaine also thanked them and started asking Liam a whole bunch of questions about Shadow. Liam knew that Blaine could be trusted because in his previous life Blaine worked for Team Rocket but had escaped from them after realizing the inhumane things that they were doing to Pokemon and people.

Liam told him all about Shadow and then started to ask him about Mewtwo which caused Blaine to frown. He was thinking if he should talk about this secret to a young child. Liam calmed him down and said that he knows that he used to work for Team Rocket and that the Pokemon that he was working with has been caught by Liam himself.

Blaine quickly told him to let him see him, as soon as Mewtwo came out, Blaine went to hug Mewtwo getting emotional saying that" you survived I'm so happy that you escaped from that monster and had joined a fine young trainer. Mewtwo just stood there like a statue because he didn't understand these emotions.

Blaine and Liam talked for quite a bit as they exited the gym and went to Blaine's lab to talk a bit more. They talked through most of the night and Blaine had shown him around the town. The next morning, Blaine introduced Liam to his clan members. Liam was fascinated about this because this was not introduced in his previous life about how some of the famous types had clans.

They even had a huge dojo and he wondered if Shadow could learn a thing or two from this dojo and upgrade his fire moves. Liam decided to stay for a few weeks which Blaine allowed him to and told his clan that Liam was a special guest of honor which made them respect Liam more.

Blaine asked where his grandson was but they said that he went out to tour Kanto and to capture a certain Pokemon while training for the league championship and that he'll be back in a few months. Blaine wanted to introduce his grandson Blaine III to Liam but unfortunately, he was not around.

This was the same grandson who had been torturing Pokemon and going to the auction house to buy special rare kinds. This was Liam's Dragonites old master and if Liam knew that this guy was torturing Dragonite back when he was just a child baby Dratini he probably would have been extremely angry but thank God they never all met together.

Liam continues to enjoy his days with the fire clan, training and learning new fire moves. Mewtwo's sessions were private with Blaine, which Blaine was privately showing Mewtwo a few new things which Liam was grateful for. A week finally came and it was time for Liam to move on to the next gym.

Blaine didn't want Liam to leave so he told him that he would teach Mewtwo and Shadow the clan's most powerful fire technique if he stayed for one more week. Liam was very tempted by this and accepted it. He needed all the training he could get because they were going to be monsters that were coming to the Pokemon League to fight and he wanted to be at the very top without struggling so he decided to stay one more week.

The secret technique that Blaine was training the two Pokemon to do was Blast Burn, he wasn't really going to teach them the secrets move for the clan so he gave him the next most powerful fire move that he could think of which was Blast Burn.

This move was very hard for them to learn since they weren't really fire types so they had to stay for three weeks. Liam was also training the fire ways of the clan and over the weeks he built his body slowly to withstand extreme heat. Three weeks later, Liam finally left Cinnabar Island.
