Chapter 775: Gandiva
"Yes, we still have time. We will try to kill as many king-rank Pokemons as we can.", said Axel with determination.
These secret mission were very helpful in the past. They also did a similar thing in the tide battle of Hakone city and they were able to kill multiple king rank Pokemons.
Yet, these night secret raids were also filled with a lot of dangers. If something bad were to happen, if somehow Alakazam could not use the teleport, or it was not near them to use it, or it got injured or a powerful Pokemon with the ability to lock the space appeared then they were truly screwed.
Axel would not have approved of this if he didn't feel that something bad was going to happen. Axel trusted his instinct a lot cause it had helped him in the past.
"Sir, we have 2 groups of flying-type Pokemons. One is Staraptor and another one is Golbat. The group of Staraptor has 2 tier 1 king rank Pokemons and the group of Golbat also has 2 king rank Pokemons. One of them is a tier 2 king rank. Which do you want to do select?", asked Alon.
"We will choose Staraptor. There was hard to deal with in tide battles. How big is the group of these Staraptors?"
"The group is very big with around 100 of them in the group."
"That is a big group."
"Yes, but not all of them are strong. Actually, very few of them are in pseudo-king rank and most of them have not even fully evolved. The overall combat power of the group is weak.
Another thing is that the place were they are staying is very far from other Pokemon groups except for Golbat group and they have a huge enmity with each other.
So, even if we were to create a little ruckus, then it will not be a problem."
"Ok, we will target those Staraptors."

Unknown POV,
As much as I can remember, from my birth, I always felt that I am something else than others. I had this intuition. Like I was in this world for something more. Something special.
But now I am 4 years old, already a Staravia but could not find that thing that would make me famous. My parents always loved me and cared for me but they died a few years back.
Life in the jungle was very harsh and sometimes I didn't even get to eat properly. I hated sleeping hungry food cause I know how it feels. So, even if I had nothing to eat in the morning, at night, I would sneak out of the group to catch some prey cause I have only one rule.
Never sleep in a hungry stomach!!
The group is preparing for the big tide battle but I don't care about it. I would not even participate in it. I am just too weak to be in that tide battle. I don't know why my friends and seniors want to fight with those despicable humans. They know that those humans are very powerful.
As I was searching for the food, I found out that one of the guards had still not slept completely.
"Damn it!! Why is Uncle Peda so diligent in his duties?", I cursed myself under my breath.
We live in a group cause as per the leader, the group makes us stronger. I have always lived in this group as long as I can remember. In a group, we have a rule that we would not go on a hunt or even outside during the night.
The leader said that it was to protect us as we were naturally weaker at night. Our vision would be compromised and ghost and dark-type Pokemons would be stronger at night.
So, there were multiple guards that would guard our area. They had the duty to protect us from outside harm and also stop free spirit Staravia like me.
But these guards had been doing this job for years and they were already bored. So, almost all of the guards would sleep at night. This was an open secret.
I had thought to venture out at night but now it didn't seem to be impossible.
Uncle Peda was the leader of those guards and he was a pseudo-king rank Pokemon. He was very powerful and he was very diligent in his duties.
"I didn't know that Uncle Peda would be in the guard duty today. Damn it!! What should I do?"
As I was thinking that tonight I may have to sleep hungry, I saw some shadows moving. There was something out there and Uncle Peda had not seen it. I went into hiding to cover myself and waited patiently.
Slowly I could see 5 humans that were coming towards our base. The humans have some weird Pokemons and they use some sound waves that make Uncle Peda fall asleep.
Uncle Peda was already on the verge of sleeping and he was only waking up with sheer willpower. When those weird Pokemons used some sort of move, he immediately fell a sleep.
For a few seconds, I could not determine what was happening. Then I realized that these humans were trying to infiltrate our base.
I was not so surprised by this and I was not even worried. I never liked this group. The only ones that loved me were my mom and dad and they died trying to protect the so-called leader of our group.
The leader had also not given me any special treatment and I have no good friends in this group. But I was too weak to wander alone. So, I had to stay here. So, even if those 2 leaders die and the group is disbanded, I have no problem with it.
It was not that I could save them. I could already tell that those Pokemons were more powerful than our leader.
I was looking at them and saw that the face of Uncle Peda was getting darker and darker. These wretched humans were trying to kill Uncle Peda. I must do something.
Even though I have no personal attachment to the group, the only small attachment I had was with Uncle Peda. After the death of my parents, he was the one who took care of me. Of course, he never had the time to look after me all the time but when he was free, he would come and give me some food.
But I was too weak to fight against them. What should I do? As I was thinking about what to do, I seemed to have got caught as a dark-colored frightening Pokemon rushed over me and was ready to finish me.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I can lead you to my leader. I just want to live.", I shouted closing my eyes. I don't want to see my own death.
The humans also came towards me and the Pokemon translated what I said to those humans.
"Hmm, if that is the case, then let's leave it. It is also very weak. It would not hinder us.", said one of the humans who had silver-colored hair. This human looked like the boss of all the humans.
"I only just want you to keep Uncle Peda and me alive.", I said pointing out Uncle Peda.
The silver-haired human came close to me and said, "I can do this but you will have to lead me to your leader and after I kill your leader, you will be free."
"Ok."
"What is your name, Staravia?", asked the human.
"They call me Gandiva."
Gandiva POV end.

This Pokemon was very peculiar. Axel had seen a Pokemon with lower potential, a Pokemon with higher potential but a Pokemon with exceptional intellect was very rare.
Moreover, Staravia was not considered to be an intellectual Pokemon like Alakazam.
He had already looked at its status page and he was still surprised by this.

It actually knew 3 new moves and 2 of them were actually a passive move. Then how the hell did it only have a Red potential?
Axel just could not understand this. The name of this Pokemon was also very peculiar. As per Hindu mythology, 'Gandiva' was one of the most powerful bows used by Arjuna during the era of Mahabharata.
The first thing was that how could anyone come up with such a name was this Pokemon somehow similar to the Gandiva of mythology?
This was to be discussed but Axel was very much interested in capturing this Pokemon.
He didn't have the time to look at the move description of it but he would do it after the battle was over.
"Just stay here until I finish the job and then you can go.", said Axel and told the plan to the team.
The plan was simple. Gandiva would lead them to the place where those 2 king-rank Pokemons were sleeping. Then all of them will use moves like 'Hypnosis' and then kill them with 'Dream Eater' and 'Nightmare'.
Gandiva led them to the place where those king-rank Pokemons were sleeping.
There were some near misses but they managed to reach there without anyone noticing.
Shedinja and others started to use the move 'Hypnosis' and then started to use the move 'Nightmare' and 'Dream Eater'. They were able to quickly finish both of the king-rank Pokemons with those moves.
Axel didn't want to kill hundreds of these Pokemons. It would take quite some time and they were in a time crunch.
After finishing the job, Axel finally looked at Gandiva and asked, "Your leader is dead and your protection is now gone. So, what do you want to do now? Do you want to come with me?", asked Axel.
"Come with you? What do you mean?", asked Gandiva.
Axel could vaguely understand what Gandiva was saying through telekinesis.
"I want you to be my Pokemon like Marcus here. I will also train you and feed you. We will be like friends and family."
Gandiva was a smart Staravia. This human killed its leader without even thinking for a second and now this human was going to treat it like a family. Wasn't this a classic example of kidnapping?
But why would his human have any interest in it? Did this human already know about its secret? There were many questions on its mind and as of right now, it didn't want to be associated with this human.
"No, I will not come to you. I don't trust you.", said Gandiva.
"Ok, you can do what you want but you are very weak right now and if you want to live alone, I must say that you will die very fast. The tide is also coming. Are you sure that you can survive?"
This human was very right. It was not a strong king-rank Pokemon. It was very weak. It had not even fully evolved. But it also didn't want to be a part of this human team.
"I have a proposal. You don't trust me right now but you also don't want to die.
