บท 259: Other Regions

The next day, Axel gathered 20 young trainers who were personally chosen by him. Those who paid the highest amount were chosen. However, Axel also looked into their history and how loyal they were to the city.

Axel had got a total of 100 million Poke dollars from them. That was a huge amount. With 2 million dollars from the tide and his saved up 1 billion Poke dollars, he had a total of 1 billion and 102 million Poke dollars.

The selection process was done at the same place where they had a meeting. Alakazam had teleported all of them to that part of the forest. Most of them were excited and some of them were nervous.

The selection process went well and Axel introduced Noah, his uncle on a behalf of him. He would not be here all the time and he needed someone to trade all those resources. Noah had agreed with this development.

After the selection process was over, Axel asked Slowbro, "Are they ready?"

'Yes, they are. Let me take you to them.'

Axel had personally asked for a Pidgey with the highest potential. Slowbro had selected 5 of them and they were now ready to meet them.

After the plane crash and tide, he realized that he lacked a flying-type Pokemon. Charizard was flying-type Pokemon too but it was not known for its flying powers. Beedrill and Shedinja could also fly and Alakazam could levitate, but when it came to pure flying type Pokemon, Axel didn't have any.

If Arbok was a flying type Pokemon Axel would have surely lost. So, he decided to get 1 flying type Pokemon.

And what better flying-type Pokemon than Pidgey? Don't mistake it for being everywhere. Pidgey line were known for their speed. Pidgeot could fly at Mach 2 speed and ancient Pidgeot were assumed to fly at Mach 10 speed. Mach 1 speed was 1225.04 km per hour.

That was a lot of speed. If he could capitalize on its flying speed and wind element as he had seen from Elder Adam, Pidgeot could be a badass Pokemon.

Getting all his hopes up, Axel went to see a total of 5 Pidgey waiting for him excitedly.

After looking at 5 of them, he discarded 3 of them and now he had to choose from 2 of them. He was in a dilemma. He looked at the first Pidgey stats

It was very rare to find a black potential Pokemon in the wild. It also had good attack moves and since it was only 3 months, it could learn a lot.

The second Pokemon only had brown potential which was worse than black potential but it had something that interested Axel.

It had an electric type move!!!! What does that mean? It means that its hidden power was obviously electric and if it could master the electric hidden power typing, it would be free of one of the 3 weaknesses.

Axel saw that it had also mastered its ability much more than other Pokemons. This could also mean that it was more tune to infinity energy than others. So, it would be easier to train.

But it was only of brown potential.

What should he choose? He wanted to take both of them but he knew he would not have the time to train both of them.

So, finally, he chose….

"I choose you.", he said to the Pidgey who had 'Parabolic charge'. The Pidgey was happy. Axel told it to tell final goodbye to its family and finally, he caught it on a master ball.

He said his goodbyes and then left the forest. He was in a happy mood.

On the other side of the world, the elite 4 and champions from other regions were in an uproar.

"You mean to tell me that Axel Blaze was a zone commander of a nowhere town and he beat the tide with excellence?"

"Yes, sir. It was also said that he defeated a pseudo-king rank Pokemon. But we are not sure about it."

"Do I look like a kid to you? How can that be possible?"

"Sir, our spies could not be wrong."

"Gorn, I think we should do the same.", came an old man's voice.

"Are you crazy Drake? Steven and Wallace are just 15 years old."

"We don't have any options. Kanto had almost taken over Jhoto region and we could be next. Oak is from Kanto and though he acts like a good leader, all of us know that he supports only Kanto region.

And now, this Axel is taking his steps. That Axel kid is also 14 yrs old and he had done it. Why can't Steven and Wallace do it? Tell them that they have 6 months to prepare and then they would be a soldier in the coming tide."

"Sigh, we don't have any options do we."

###

Somewhere in the Sinnoh region,

"Madam, are you sure about it? Little Cynthia is very young for tides and blood."

"I have made my decision and Cynthia would take part in the tide in the coming future. If we want our region to have the next Pokemon master, this is the only choice. First that Brine from the Unova region and now this Axel. Cynthia has the potential to beat both of them and now she should be ready."

###

All those champions and the elite 4 were getting ready. It looks like a calm before the storm. Everyone knew that Oak was going to retire from his position as a Pokemon master and now they want their people to be the next Pokemon master.
