Gyarados had a special place in Axel's team. It was the only water type Pokemon on his team. Alakazam could use electric and fire type attacks. There were 2 grass type Pokemons, 3 poison type Pokemons but only 1 water type Pokemon and that was Gyarados.
So, he wanted to train it well and also wanted it to have a good base for the future. So, he didn't hurry it to rank up and wanted it to take things slow. He knew that it would not be able to reach king rank in 1 year.
On the other hand, Pidgey had been doing very well. Its experience was rising while fighting the wild Pokemons in the east and west forest and on the 10th day, after it started to fight the wild Pokemons something amazing happened.

Ding!
Pidgey's Sp. Def has been upgraded to S
Ding!
Its evolution condition has been met. It is evolving.
---
A white light started to form around Pidgey. Axel didn't use any type enhancing items as Giovanni had warned him in the book. Type-enhancing items were not recommended till a Pokemon reaches an uncommon rank. He took the warning seriously and just watched it evolve. After a few minutes, it evolved fully.
The Pokemon was covered in brown feathers, and had a cream-coloured face, underside, and flight feathers. It had a crest of pinkish-red feathers on its head and black, angular markings behind its black eyes. The plumage of its tail had alternating red and yellow feathers with ragged tips. Its beak and legs were pink in color.
It was Pidgeotto.
"Pi..."
The rush of evolution had affected it. It was already told about it before the evolution and now it was closing its eyes to concentrate. When a Pokemon evolves or ranks up, the energy in its body would increase at a very high level. Such rush of power and energy would be difficult to handle mentally.
Pidgeotto did a good job and after a few minutes, it was already normal. It started to fly around Axel showing its happiness.
Axel then looked at its stats

For a Pokemon having a 3 evolution line, it was commendable. Pidgeotto had good move mastery. Its evolution didn't bring any increase in the move level but that was okay.
While fighting with other opponents, it realized that 'Sand Attack' was a valuable move. So, the move had leveled up quite a bit. It was still not able to use the combination of 'Tailwind' and 'Aerial ace' but Axel was hopeful that it would be able to do it after it fully evolves.
"Flappy, use 'Aerial ace'", said Axel.
"Pi…."
Pidgeotto flew high in the air and then it struck the tree. The speed of Pidgeotto was way higher than before. The impact on the tree had also increased but the aim was off.
Due to the increase in its speed and power, it could not aim very well like before. Axel knew that this would happen. A Pokemon would need some time to get adjusted to their new form.
However, it was much harder for Pidgeotto. Normally a Pokemon would have to adjust the speed, timing and power of their attacks after the evolution. It would take some time but it was not so hard but for Pidgeotto, it was harder.
Since it was a flying type Pokemon, it would have to focus on its aim and speed while flying which was way harder than land Pokemons.
"Flappy, first you have to adjust to your new form. It would take some time but you must focus on it first.", said Axel, and Pidgeotto agreed too.
Unlike its baby form, it was more mature and could understand that Axel was right.

A few days later, Ivysaur evolved. This was to be expected as it was very late for it. Axel always chose to focus on the foundation of a Pokemon rather than their evolution and ranks. Ivysaur was no exception, however, in the case of Ivysaur, Axel focused more on the foundation in comparison to others.
There was a simple reason for it. He wanted it to be the next Hashirama Senju. For that to be possible, it should have a solid base. He looked at its stats and was pleased by it.

There was a reason why it took such a long time for Ivysaur to reach an uncommon rank. If a person was to look at its move pool, he/she would be confused. It had a huge move pool and their mastery was not small. This move pool and level would belong to a genuine rare rank of Axel's team.
Venusaur was a hard-working Pokemon. Its hard work was showing on its stats and now it had finally reached uncommon rank. It was now time for Axel to teach it some new moves.
