Chapter 864: Ready for Rank up
It was not only Axel and Krishna who were training. Others were also doing the same. The place was not so big that all of them could let their Pokemons train in large-scale moves.
So, they mostly focused on meditation and physical training.
Axel began focusing on Musharna. Its new move, 'Void space' was not even level 40 and above. He was happy that its move 'Teleport' had crossed level 40. With years of experience, Axel knew that upgrading the move to do something as significant as teleporting to a new place from the 'Void space' would take a lot of time.
It could not been done in a week. Axel had no confidence of such a thing being possible. So, he first decided to consolidate the space where they were staying right now. He believed that by doing this, they could stay here longer than a week. Which would help them train on this move for a longer period of time.
"Musharna, we will train you how to cement your 'Void space' right now. We will be doing this thinking of extending the time on our stay here.
With more time, we will be able to train on the move upgrade that we have been thinking about."
Musharna nodded its head. It also felt that this was the best way to do it. Meanwhile, Krishna was observing both of them. He wanted to see how Axel would train his Pokemon.
"So, tell me how do you feel and what do you really do when you use this move?", asked Axel.
Musharna began telling its experience. When it reached king rank, it suddenly had an idea of the move that it felt that it had been training for a long time. It was like someone had directly inserted this knowledge on its brain.
So, when it used the move, it felt as if all of its psychic powers were being drained outside and it was being used to create a space that only it could access. With additional training, it was able to create a portal where others could also go inside.
"So, what do you need to expand this space and also make us stay longer than before?"
"A lot of psychic energy. I also feel that my mastery of this move is not on a higher level, so I have to waste a lot of energy to use this move. Also, expanding the space is a time-consuming process. I will have to literally create it with psychic energy. So, I will have to convert it from psychic energy."
"Hmm, I feel that there are 2 ways for you to do it. But first of all, I want to ask you something. What would happen if you start to rank up in this space? Because at that time, you will not be in full control of yourself. So, will the space collapse at that time?"
"Such a thing might happen but not because I have no control of this space. When I created this space, I didn't have to actively monitor and supply it with energy. Once an adequate amount of energy is used, I will just have to resupply it after a period of time. You can think of it as recharging your mobile battery.
That is why I can only let all of us stay here for a week. Because, after a week, the energy would start to disintegrate."
"Can't you just resupply the energy when like a day before we have to come out? That would make us stay here as long as we can.", asked Axel.
"I can do that but if I did it, then psychic energy here would become very violent and none of us would survive here including me. So, we have to go out for that to happen."
Axel got the gist of things and how to proceed further.
"So, first of us, you will have to learn to supply the energy inside the space while we are staying here without killing us. Then you will have to increase the capacity of this space so that we can stay here for a long period of time.
After all of this is done, we can finally move towards teleporting to a different place."
Krishna was amazed how fast Axel came up with a solution. If it was Krishna, it would have taken him weeks. He was quite fascinated how Axel thought.
"But how can I do that? If I make a single mistake, all of us will be out of here and we will be dead. That is very risky.", sighed Musharna. It wanted to try it but this was too risky right now because this space was the only thing keeping them alive.
"Listen to me, as a psychic type Pokemon, you have the power to sense a lot of things. Even before, you destroy this space, you will know that it will happen and at that time you will stop.
The only reason you cannot supply the space with enough psychic power and keep it stable is that you don't have good control of your psychic energy. In fact, moves like this could only be used perfectly in pseudo-champion rank.
But we have solutions for that."
"Solutions?"
"Yes, Solutions. You are not the only psychic-type Pokemon here. We have Magnus, and other 3 psychic type Pokemons after you. They can also help you to stabilize the psychic-type energy around here."
Theoretically, it was a perfect plan but none of them knew if they could do such a thing.
Axel called all the psychic-type Pokemons that they had. Slowemperor, Hypno, Slowking, and Starmie.
All of them were at king rank except for Slowking. Starmie was a psychic-type Pokemon but it had a water core inside its body. So, its psychic powers were not so high.
"I want all of you to feel the psychic energy inside this space and I want to know if any of you could stabilize the psychic energy inside.", said Axel.
Axel was not a psychic type Pokemon so he also didn't know how to do it. He could only rely on these Pokemons to come up with an idea.
All of them tried and Musharna also gave them some tips. This was Musharna's move after all.
At first, there was no progress. It took almost 15 yours and finally Slowemperor could not only sense the psychic energy but also could manipulate it.
"Axel, I can do it now. It is very slow but I think that I can improve it. But we need 4 psychic type Pokemons on 4 sides if we plan to stabilize this place.", said Slowemperor.
As Slowemperor tried to teach the other 3 on how to do what it had done, Axel started to train Musharna on how to expand the 'Void space'.
Togetic wanted to evolve but such a thing was not possible here right now. When a Pokemon ranks up or evolves, it takes all the energy from the surroundings to rank up. But since the energy here was mostly psychic type energy and in limited quantity, it could not do such a thing inside the 'Void space'.
"But can't it evolve outside? The process of evolution and rank-up is very sacred. Others would not disturb it at such a crucial time. And when it evolves, we could also see how dangerous the cave is right now.", proposed Suresh.
This was a good idea.
"Ok, you can evolve when Meg is ready to rank up. Both of you would rank up and evolve at the same time."
A few days had passed, and today was the 6th day since they entered the void space.
All of the 5 psychic-type Pokemons were standing in some sort of a formation. Musharna was in the middle of this space while the others were in the 4 corners of the space.
"Musharna, let's start and others get ready for any psychic type fluctuation.", said Axel.
Everyone was worried and scared because this was not a full proof plan. They had trained for 6 days but there was an element of failure in this plan.
Musharna closed its eyes and a wave of psychic-type energy started to come out of its body. The concentrated power of this psychic energy was so high that everyone could literally see and feel this energy.
The energy started to feel the space and the space which had started to turn brown and black started to shine. It felt as if the space was a living being. Axel could see the faces of those 4 psychic-type Pokemons. They were trying their best to stabilize the space. Starmie was especially not looking good.
"Venusaur, Gogoat. Try to improve Starmie's stamina and health. Make it stable.", said Axel.
The process took around 10 minutes and the space looked better than before. There was still a purplish hue that covered the whole space but it looked more natural than before. Venusaur also used the move 'Grassy terrain' on it and now the place was filled with grass and it looked beautiful.
The space had not expanded. Because Musharna had used all of its power to recharge the place.
After the whole process was over, Axel took a long breath to calm his nerves.
"Good job everyone. Rest for some time. We have one more week here. The next time, we will expand this place and Musharna will fill it up with more energy so that it can last longer."
They did the same thing as planned. After a day, Musharna was fully healed and ready to go again. Expanding the space was less risky than recharging it. Those 4 psychic-type Pokemons had already stabilized the space and now Musharna didn't have to worry about anything.
Within 6 days, the space was now more than doubled. It was 2 sq k.m right now. In those 6 days, the space had become as stable as a rock. The space was now filled with grass, plants, and also houses made of wood. These wooden houses were the courtesy of Venusaur and Gogoat.
"I don't mind here living for the rest of my life.", smiled Rajiv admiring the place. The space before had completely changed and it truly resembled the outside world.
Suddenly,
---
Ding!
Nidoking has learned a new move. It could now enhance its special attack stat with the help of the poison for 24 hours. Please name the move.
---
"So, it's finally time, huh.", said Axel.
Axel quickly took out all the resources needed for the rank up of Nidoking and Togetic and said, 'Name it 'Poison enhance''
---
Ding!
The move has been named. Nidoking has fulfilled all the conditions of the rank-up.
Ding!
Nidoking is ranking up to a pseudo-champion rank.
---
At that time, a portal opened near Nidoking and it went outside automatically. Togetic also followed the portal along with Axel. He had all the Pokemons with him this time.
They appeared inside the same place where they escaped. There was no one here.
Axel threw all the resources to Nidoking and also gave the shiny stone to Togetic.
Both of them started to glow in different lights.
They were evolving and ranking up.
Just as he expected, there was no interference from the great one. Axel was staying quite close to both of them so that the great one would not target him and he was right.
Not even the great one was going to break the rule of harming a Pokemon during rank-up and evolution.
Togetic evolved into Togekiss in 5 minutes. It looked at its body and felt all the new power and energy. It was quite happy that it had finally fully evolved. Meanwhile, Nidoking took 10 minutes to fully rank up, and when it did,
ROOARRR
It was ready to destroy this cave from the inside out.
