max in Pokemon

Max and Meloatta were strolling around the mistralton city to go and see the the flying gym for themselves.

Max was only doing this because he had nothing better to do.

As for meloetta she was curious on how the gym challenge work since this the first time that she was in a gym.

When they got there to max the place looked like a mini airport and there was a crowd in front of a girl with red hair who waw in blue.

He recognized her as Skyla the sky gym leader.

He got closer with meloetta followed along.

Someone challenged Skyla to a battle she accepted it and they all took out their Pokemon which as expected Skyla's were all flying based and the challenger took out there own pokemon.

But instead of fighting Skyla just closed her eyes and started to think about how the fight would go in her head and she concluded that she would win easily

And this of course caused an uproar max wasn't interested but yeah he didn't approve of this conclusion in his world when it comes to a fight you can't just think your way out of it.

And not to mention just because you are strong it doesn't mean you get to brush things off Miguel is among the strongest but he knows that if he doesn't play smart in a fight he can die.

Max walked up to her and the challenger he didn't care about the league but he knew that not showing your opponent if it's just a friendly competition the respect they deserve is a huge sign of disrespect to that very person.

Max: if you say you would win easily then prove it with actions words don't mean jack if you can't back it up and besides if you don't give this guy a proper fight. that to me is a sign of disrespect to your opponent.

Skyla was surprised to be called out like this and the other challengers agreed with him but he did have a point she had some honor and hearing that not giving a challenger a respectful fight was a sign of disrespect and that didn't sit well with her.

Skyla: alright I see your point. Fine I'll accept your challenge but don't blame me if you lose.

(Note: this is before ash came in)

They got inside the gym which had some planes in it and it had two floors one for the top and bottom of course max went for the top to see the fight and by 1 knocked out Pokemon he already lost interest.

These Pokemon battle for him were pretty boring the training that him and his roommate do is more satisfying because he feels like he actually earned his victories but here to him this like letting your pet do all the work and put your name on it.

He was about to go down stairs to leave but an old man stopped him.

Miles: I heard what you said to my granddaughter.

Max: and who are you?

Miles: I'm miles Skyla's grandfather and the previous sky gym leader.

Max: so what do you want from me?

Miles: I'll assume you saw my granddaughter's methods of Pokemon battles right?

Max: yeah and it's idiotic.

Miles: harsh but true I tried to make her quite this method but if it isn't obvious it's not exactly working well on her image.

Max: so let me guess you want me to either talk or face her to make her realize that she can't just think her way out of fights?

Miles: yes I know it's a selfish request of this old man but-

Max: I'll do it.

Meloatta: (he actually agreed?)

Miles: you actually want to help?

Max just did some stretches.

Max: well I could just walk away from this whole thing but honestly I think I could use a work out.

Miles: are you a trainer?

Max:nah I'm just a guy that just came to stay for a while.

Miles: I see then I'll-

Max: actually can I fight your granddaughter when she is alone?

Miles: why?

Max: trust me when I say this. That I'm built different?

Miles of course didn't understand but meloetta who was invisible looked at max with a cautious face.

Miles: okay we're are you staying?

Max: at the Pokemon center.

Miles: when Skyla is alone I'll ask for you.

Max: alright.

A strong impact rang out and max saw that the challenger's Pokemon were completely knocked out he completely forgot about the fight but whatever.

After miles and the boy shared there goodbyes he felt that the boy was something different and he didn't know why.

When max got a few good distance away from the flying gym meloetta undid her invisibly to save on her energy and talk to max because she was worried that max will do something stupid.

Meloatta: max why did you accept the fight?

Max: don't worry I'm not gonna hurt the Pokemon. Actually no the right proper way to say it is that I won't hurt them too much nor Skyla. I just need a work out.

Meloatta was baffled by this he only accepted just because he wanted a work out?

Meloatta: max are you seriously going to fight just because you want a work out?

Max: well excuse me I've been feeling a little antsy lately I'm don't like fighting but I don't want my skills to go to waste and who knows you could probably learn something.

Meloatta: what could I possibly learn?

Max: I don't know maybe learn some fighting techniques.

She didn't know why but that gave her flashbacks of her fighting Pokemon and she felt like a completely different person.

She snapped out of it but she felt like something inside her mind told her to remember that flashback.

Max noticed her zoning out.

Max: you okay?

Meloatta: huh no I'm fine I'm just thinking.

Max: well anyway don't worry I'm not gonna hurt them.

Meloatta: you better not. I agree to not stop you but I'm not gonna let you just kill anyone there has to be limits

Max: I know I know when to hold back I may kill but I'm not a monster.

Meloatta: good I don't want you to do something that you are going to regret.

Max: nice to know you care.

Meloatta: of course I care about you you're my friend.

Max stopped at that he remembered his roommates and other fellow exorcist his age and hearing her calling him a friend just brought back the day him and Peter became inseparable like brothers.

He had a sad smile on his face and Meloatta noticed his odd expression.

Meloatta: max are you-

Max: I'm fine I'm just thinking about my home.

They both went quiet but max just tapped her arm and walked towards the town.

Max: come on let's see what this place has to offer.

They went to different places saw some signs ate some food and max learned about other Pokemon thanks to his Pokédex which they added some unique facts about the Pokemon around.

Meloatta enjoyed seeing new things and Pokemon.

And she especially loved the food.

It was the midday and he got a call on his Pokédex from nurse joy that miles wanted to see him.

He guess that thanks to Skyla's antics the challengers just left.

When he got to the Pokemon center he saw miles and Skyla on seats waiting for him.

Miles: sorry if I interrupted anything.

Max: nah it's cool i was just walking around until joy called me.

Skyla walked up to him and he she had a curious look on her.

Skyla: you don't seem like a Pokemon trainer.

Max: I'm not.

Skyla: well grandpa told me that you agreed to face me in private what's with that?

Max: I'm not gonna do anything sketchy I promise on my soul.

Skyla had a skeptical look but she didn't feel any hostility so he would believe him for now.

Max: besides this is in a way for me to train.

Skyla: if you say so let's get this show on the road.

They went back to the gym and max and Skyla were on the ring in opposite sides meloetta watched from the top so that she wouldn't be seen and miles was the referee.

Miles said that the one who either surrenders or are all out of Pokemon will be eliminated.

Skyla was ready to think of any scenarios for max's Pokemon but he did something that caught there attention

Max walked up to the field and did some stretching his body confusing both of them.

Miles: max what are you doing?

Max: well remember when I said this was going to be a warm up well I mean it for me.

Miles: are you saying that you are fighting?

Max: yup.

Skyla could only gawk and picture a chibi max with all of her Pokemon using air moves and him laying on the ground possibly dead.

Max: don't worry I may not look it but I'm pretty damn strong.

Skyla: are you crazy this isn't how a Pokemon battle works.

Max: well for me this is my preferred way of fighting one thing that I don't like is having people do my fights.

He snapped his neck to the sides making some cracking noise and made a come on gesture.

Max: I came here to have a fight so that I don't get rusty but if you aren't going to fight me I'm leaving.

Skyla and were unsure this the first time they encounter someone who want to face her with out Pokemon.

A part of miles wanted to say no but he saw how the boy had no sign of being unsure and a part of him who thought something was off about max wanted to see this unique situation.

Miles: just to be clear are you sure about this?

Max: I'm positive.

Miles turned to Skyla who was unsure about this but when they made eye contact she reluctantly agreed to this.

Skyla: don't blame me if you get hurt.

Max just chuckled at those words.

Max: you would be the first girl who tried to hit me.

Skyla wasn't sure if that was a compliment or a remark but either way she had a battle to win.

She threw a Pokeball in the air and out a swoobat.

Max looked at the bat and he could tell it was strong but it wasn't at the level of a c ranking spirit.

Skyla was still unsure so she decided to take it easy.

She ordered it to use heart stamp but at a low amount of power.

The swoobat shot out a blast of energy that was in the shape like a heart.

Max looked unfazed by this he flared his spiritual energy aura to protect himself the attack kicking a cloud of dust.

Skyla expected him to dodge but to both her and her grandpa's surprise he didn't he just took it.

Skyla felt like she did the worst thing in the world because she started to feel sick.

Miles did too but it was more hidden thanks to his days as the previous flying gym leader.

As for meloetta she was worried that he was hurt but she knew that if max was weak he would have died in that massacre so she had faith that he was still okay.

And her hopes were proven because to both Skyla and mile's surprise max jumped out of the smoke at in human speeds at swoobat and he did an spiritual energy enhanced socker kick to the bat Pokemon.

When it crashed into the ground it was knocked out completely.

Skyla and miles only gawk at him because there wasn't a scratch on him what so ever and he didn't even look he was even tired.

Meloatta let out a sigh of relief that max was still alive.

Skyla: how? Just how are you still alive!?

Max dusted his clothes that finished cleaning and looked at her with a small smirk.

Max: that's my little secret.

Skyla was still processing what happened but she snapped out of it and returned swoobat to her Pokeball.

Skyla was used to Pokemon battles but this was a completely different type of battle this time her opponent is human and she knew a lot about Pokemon but when it comes to the enigma that was max her predictions won't work for her.

She then took out her next Pokemon unfezant this time she decided to see if max was using some sort of trick or is he just lucky.

She ordered it to use quick attack to rush at him.

Max saw the unfezant surrounded in a white aura charging at him fast.

He stood his ground and made a motion like he was ready to stop it in its tracks.

The unfezant got closer and it was about to hit him but he dodged to the side and grabbed it by the neck and threw it over his shoulder and making it make an impact on the ground.

And when it tried to get up max kicked it making it crash into the wall.

Meloatta was surprised at how well max fought but she noticed that he wasn't using his black arms she guessed that he doesn't want to show too much.

The unfezant got up in the air but she suffered some damage from max's brutality.

Miles is surprised by how skilled he was and he is even strong enough to go against Pokemon of gym leader status.

Skyla decided to take this a little more seriously because right now she figures that if max can take on her Pokemon then she might as well get her game face on.

She ordered unfezant to use air slash it charged up energy and with one swing of its wings small energy projectiles shot out at him.

He did some backward jumps and he deflected to of the air projectiles.

The unfezant flew behind him and tried to use quick attack on him

But max already saw this coming and when it got close he did a backflip to get below the bird and it missed him completely.

He rounded up his feet and he shot them out sending the bird up into the air.

But he wasn't done he jumped up into air and he clasped his hands and hammered the unfezant into the ground this time it was out cold.

This for Skyla is unbelievable she didn't know how managed to dodge her unfezant with out look behind him.

Meloatta on the other was getting excited for some reason and she didn't know why it was like seeing max fighting is bringing another side of her.

Skyla returned her unfezant to her Pokeball and looked at max was stretching and waiting.

Skyla: this time. I'm going for my strongest Pokemon hope you're ready.

He just smirked at her

Max: let's see what you got.

Skyla once again threw out a pokeball and out came swanna.

Max could sense that this one was much stronger than the other 2 he will have get a little more serious.

Skyla started out with bubblebean and out from the swan's mouth came a horde of energy bubbles.

Max stopped for a second because seeing the bubbles reminded him of Bonnie.

She wasn't the strongest physically but she was a good markswoman and her ability allows her to create bubbles that have different properties like storing items, hard bubbles,bouncy bubbles, and sticky bubbles.

But her most powerful version is detention bubbles.

Bonnie learned that her bubbles contain her spiritual energy that allows her to change its properties but when she puts spiritual energy in her fingers and snaps them.

The bubbles's energy irups and explodes and what max it dangerous is that if they stick on to you you're done for.

Of course during training she tones down the explosions but when it comes to her enemies let's the explosions loose.

He snapped out of his memories and ran and jumped around to avoid the bubbles.

The swanna didn't let up she sent out air slashes trying to tire him out.

But that wouldn't work because max's stamina was way too high.

Skyla ordered it to use aerial ace on max while he was busy dodging the air slashes.

The swanna flew straight towards him covered in a blue aura.

This time max didn't have time to dodge he was struck in the back but he recovered quickly but the swanna was coming towards him again.

He didn't plan on dodging this time he held his ground and took a stance his first in his palm gathering spiritual energy into his first.

Meloatta saw the black energy flowing in his arm but she didn't know what he was doing.

Skyla and miles couldn't see the black energy since they didn't have any spiritual base ability but they were confused on what he was doing.

Max focused the energy in his fist focusing on one single point in his point in his body and he felt he energy compressed in his arm.

The swanna was now getting closer and max managed to dodge to the side and he launched his spiritual energy cover fist.

And when it made contact with the swanna's chest a shockwave rang out and kicking up dust that everyone had to cover there eyes the poor duck was sent flying towards the wall crashing straight through it landing on the ground outside knocked out leaving everyone stunned at the sight.

Max let out a small breath and he looked at the hand that put down the duck.

What max did was the single impact technique this is a technique that anyone with spiritual energy can use how it works is that it combines the spiritual power and physical power together to make a strong impact.

How it works is that someone compress spiritual energy in one point of the body via arms legs or hell even the head.

And when it makes physical contact with something it has a shotgun like effect that lets out a large amount of explosive force.

However this technique isn't for everyone only those with strong bodies can use this technique to its fullest.

Max wasn't a protege at this technique he was more in the middle category but thanks to his crazy amount of spiritual energy he can max out his output.

Sonia and Jonathan were the strongest in term of physical strength thanks to there enhanced bodies and there inner spirits.

Inner spirits are basically like the embodiment of a mythical creature or animal.

Like for example Sonia has the spirit of the oni which makes her monsterly strong and her no can take a crazy amount of damage.

And Jonathan had the spirit of the shark this like Sonia gave him a physical enhancement and it made him an battle maniac but he learned to control himself.

But aside from a strong body he can breathe under water and his teeth are sharp and strong enough to rip someone's arm off.

And like Sonia he is a tank in battle.

Shaking his thoughts away he turned to a shock miles and Skyla. and wide eyed meloetta.

All he could do was smirk.

Max: so I guess I win.

Note: for those who don't read loose spirit which is my main book and very first book the single impact was inspired by the black flash in jujutsu kaisen aka (jjk) so if you want to meet max's crew read on loose spirit.
