Chapter 877: Charizard Vs Garchomp

A lot of things were going on in his mind when Axel woke up.

What did the System mean?

All of this was a dream but it was also real? How does that make any sort of sense?

But there were some things that he believed that he should think about.

Like the system saying that it was a part of Axel’s soul and a part of himself.

He knew that the system could not lie but it could twist the words. But how could the system be a part of himself and his soul? He vividly remembered that the creator gave him the power of the system.

And all those things when the system created multiple miracles, was that all him? All of this was very confusing.

The first thing he did after he woke was to see if there were any system notifications.

There were multiple difficulty levels and till yesterday, the difficulty level was only on ’Easy’. Now, it had been upgraded to ’Normal’ automatically.

This meant that life would be a bit harder for Axel in this world. It might take a longer time for his Pokemons to learn new moves or rank up. The tide battles would also be slightly tougher than before.

But there were also benefits.

---

Ding!

There are some changes after the difficulty level has been adjusted.

1. The rival’s Pokemons would now get stronger at a faster rate.

2. The tide battle would be stronger than before.

3. The evolution time would be longer than before.

4. The may-day time has been extended by 5 years.

5. The host soul is more connected to the current realm

6. The fate of others and the host has been revised and updated.

7. Land management and daycare would be upgraded with more freedom.

---

The notification was not so large but it had changed a lot of things. Axel could feel an invisible pressure on his body. It was almost unnoticeable but he felt a bit difficult to walk. As if the gravity had increased by a bit.

He felt the world was now a bit more real than before. Was this all the unknown changes that he was feeling right now?

As he tried to stand up, he heard a sound and saw his worried mother and sister coming toward him.

"I am okay now."

"What happened? Why did you suddenly faint? The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with your body."

"I don’t know why I fainted but things have started to get more serious now. We must be prepared for the future."

Hearing his serious voice, all of them knew that something big had happened and Axel could not say it out loud.

###

"Axel, you have not said about the records of ancient Pokemons that you have.", said Cynthia but Lance refuted her.

"He just woke up. Just let him breathe for a second. Besides, the battle between tier 2 king-rank Pokemon is going to start."

Everyone agreed to continue the conversation after the end of the battle.

The tier 2 king rank battle was quite straight forward. Venusaur won by a huge margin. It’s ’Deep forest emergence’ which not only covered a large area but also controlled the entire battle field surprised even the commentator.

This was of course, the mini version of Hasirama Senju powers but even the mini version was greatly appreciated by the crowd. This was something that had not been seen ever before.

After using the said move, Venusuar created big flowers and used moves like ’Poison powder’ and ’Sleep powder’ to create them. This controlled the battlefield.

But that was not all. It also had extremely powerful special attacks like ’Razor leaf’, ’Wood thorns’ and ’Sunny day’.

All of these made it easy to finish the battle. It was the winner of tier 2 king rank battle round.

###

"We only have 2 rank rounds of Pokemon battle left. Tier 3 king rank battle and tier 1 pseudo-champion rank battle. Yes, you heard me right. A pseudo-champion rank battle would also be held tomorrow.

But first, we need to see how many Pokemons are participating in the tier 3 king rank battle.

Let’s wait for 30 minutes and the trainer will decide who to send for this round."

All of them knew that the battle between pseudo-champion rank Pokemons will be held. This was the first time it was happening in the Blaze family pokemon competition.

There were very few Pokemons in this round.

Beedrill (Axel) Metagross (Steven) Gengar (Mia) Krokodile (Alon) Swampert (Krishna)

The lineup showed how powerful Axel and his mercenary team were. Lance didn’t have a tier 3 king rank Pokemon. Actually, he did. Flygon had recently ranked up to tier 3 king rank but he knew that since it had recently ranked up, it could not fight in the competition.

Out of the 5 Pokemons competing in this round, 4 of them were of Axel and his mercenary team.

Steven’s Metagross was also at tier 3 king rank. It was surprising to see that Cynthia didn’t have any tier 3 king-rank Pokemon.

"So, the rumors are true. Your Garchomp has really reached pseudo-champion rank.", said Axel to Cynthia.

"I also don’t see your Charizard or Shedinja on the list. Should I also assume the same?", asked Cynthia with a smile.

Axel didn’t say anything. Cynthia’s smile grew wider and she spoke,

"Why don’t we bet on something?"

"Oh, what is the bet about?"

"Both of us know that only we 2 have pseudo-champion rank Pokemons. So, why don’t you send out your Charizard and I will send out my Garchomp for the rematch in the pseudo-champion rank battle.

My Garchomp wants to settle the old score."

"Oh really? But I have many Pokemons in the pseudo-champion rank."

Cynthia twitched her face and lips. How arrogant could this boy be? She took a deep breath and said,

"Well, that is my bet. If you want to expose your strength to the whole world, then you are welcome."

Axel understood what Cynthia meant. This battle especially the last one would be broadcasted towards the whole world. Now, Axel wanted to show off, but he didn’t want some unwanted attention. He had already been kidnapped twice.

"I agree to it. But is your Garchomp okay to fight with my Charizard again?", asked Axel.

"Don’t worry. It is more than ready."

###

Cynthia, Lance and Steven were quite interested on Beedrill. It was powerful as it was a tier 3 king rank Pokemon. But the way it fought was totally different than other Beedrills. First of all, none of them could believe that Beedrill could fight against Pokemons like Krokodile and win.

Also, it had something called the ’Bug knights’ and all of them could act separately and attack separately or together. Beedrill also had various healing abilities and it was also quite a powerful attacker.

Finally, it was a shiny Pokemon and it was quite big.

Was this Beedrill stronger than Giovani’s Beedrill that won against a Dragonite?

No body knew but they could speculate.

Even though it was quite powerful for a bug type Pokemon, it still lost against Metagross.

Metagross was Steven’s main Pokemon and it was very powerful. Being a steel type, it had many resistances and it had very high defense and special defense.

It also knew some new moves that it had created by itself.

The final winner of this round was Metagross without any suspense. After it won against Beedrill, everyone could tell that it could win the whole round.

###

"Steven, your Metagross is quite powerful. It was a bit bigger than its normal counterparts and it also knew some moves that I had not even heard of. You have trained it quite well.", said Axel patting Steven’s back.

Axel was genuinely impressed by Steven’s Metagross.

Not many knew but Beedrill had a very high defense and stamina. It was very sturdy and could last for a long time in the battle. The battle between Beedrill and Metagross went for nearly 15 minutes and it was an all-out battle.

This meant that Metagross had also high stamina. It was not called a pseudo-legendary Pokemon for nothing.

But Steven also realized that fighting against one of Axel’s main Pokemons was not a joke. He knew how injured Metagross really was. It was still taking rest.

At that time, Cynthia came forward and said, "Axel, you still have not told me your sources of any ancient Pokemons."

Axel was happy that Cynthia was taking this seriously.

"I have some data on ancient Pokemons. But I don’t know if they would be useful to you."

"I will be the judge of that. Now, give me the info."

"Okay. The first is Gengar which Shedinja is learning from. It is a god rank Pokemon and it also counts as an ancient Pokemon. Now, I don’t know the exact location of Gengar and where it lives.

I can only wait till Shedinja comes out.

Another is Lucairo, the Pokemon of the first Pokemon master. I know the location of that one and he is very mysterious and is difficult to talk to you. You will have to find a way to talk to him."

Cynthia began to note down the details. This was very helpful and she finally had a solid lead.

"There is another Pokemon and it is a legendary Pokemon but it had told me to keep its identity a secret. So, I cannot say it but I can reveal its info much sooner now.

Finally, there is a Celebi and Mew."

"Celebi and Mew? How the hell did you get to know them?"

"It was because of Venusaur and Alakazam. Celebi was interested in Venusaur and it also trained it for some time Mew was very interested in my restaurant and would always come to talk and eat food there.

Now, it is very difficult to meet Celebi but not so hard to meet Mew. But will Mew give you any info? I don’t know but that is very unlikely."

"By the way, what was with your Venusaur?", asked Cynthia.

"What about it?"

"Oh, don’t hide. I could already tell that it was different. Now, I know that Celebi blessed it. It could not be normal. It is quite different from other Venusaurs and it is also very powerful.

So, how did you train it?"

Axel could not believe that Cynthia was asking such a personal question to him. Asking a trainer how he trained his Pokemons was very personal but he could feel that she was just purely curious and she didn’t have any negative feelings.

Axel didn’t answer the question and asked, "How good is your Garchomp now? Is it healed from the last battle?"

"Oh, it had not healed but it had learned to battle in that disabled form. But don’t feel pity for it. You will realize it tomorrow. It is not my main Pokemon for nothing."

"Let’s see how good it really is.", said Axel.

###

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to the final day and the final fight of the tournament. Yes, you heard me right. There will only be 2 Pokemons in this round and it will be the final fight of the competition.

Before, we start the day, let me first thank all of you for all the support that you have given us. We will continue to entertain you like this in the future too.

The final battle is between Axel’s Charizard and Cynthia’s Garchomp. Both of them are in tier 1 pseudo-champion rank.

Yes, the battle all of you, from Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh region were waiting for. The ultimate clash....."

The commentator went on and on for some time but the crowd was hooked in his each word. Axel and Cynthia were recognized as the heroes of the new generation.

"Before we start the battle, let me first tell you something. There has been a history of these 2 Pokemons. They could be called rivals. Charizard had won the last battle and Garchomp wants to take revenge on the last battle."

The commentator went on and on to spice up the battle as much as he could.

"Now, let’s call out, CHARIZARD!!!!", shouted the commentator.

A red light flew high into the sky as it slowed down and came to the ground. As it stepped on the battle ground, it created a mini earthquake as the ground vibrated.

The aura of Charizard was completely different than before. It was a genuine tier 1 pseudo-champion rank Pokemon.

It stretched its neck as it straightened it and looked at the sky and.
