Chapter 577: Training Riolu
He knew that his older Pokemons would be able to handle the tide. He told them what moves to focus on and what things to focus on.
Then he went to his new Pokemons. He called all of them and looked at all of them.
1. Togetic.
2. Shelgon.
3. Aerodactyl.
4. Primeape.
5. Riolu.
6. Croconaw.
Axel considered Togetic, Aerodactyl, and Primeape to be in uncommon rank. Every one of them could evolve further but it was not a normal evolution. Since they could not evolve with just training and needed some external factors, he considered them to be uncommon rank Pokemons.
Primeape and Aerodactyl were happy to evolve when they reached pseudo-king rank. If they do, they can have 2 cores but Togetic wanted to evolve as fast as possible when he first asked it.
However, now its mentality had changed. After seeing Axel\'s Pokemons and how powerful they were, it started to realize that Axel was a very good trainer and though it didn\'t say it out loud, it knew that following Axel\'s guidance would be better than its own decision.
"So, Togetic, do you really want to evolve right now or do you want to do when you reach pseudo-king rank?"
Chuki... CHukii ..
Axel used mental communication when he asked it and received a positive answer that it didn\'t care. It just wanted to get stronger. So, Axel told it to evolve when it reached pseudo-king rank.
"Now, since 3 of you would be considered uncommon rank, it is given that 3 of you would reach rare rank a bit faster than others.
I have decided that only 3 of you will compete in gym battles."
There was an instant uproar after Axel said this statement. Shelgon, Croconaw, and Riolu also wanted to participate in gym battles. Gym battles were a great way to test one\'s skills in the battle and they also wanted to show off.
"Ok, listen, first listen to me on why I want that.", said Axel trying to calm his Pokemons.
After Kanto and Johto, there were still 6 regions that he had to concur. They also had their requirements just like the Johto region:
1. Hoenn: You can only use Pokemons that you have not used in any other gyms, league battles, elite 4 battles, and champion battle.
2. Sinnoh: You can only use Pokemons that you have not used in champion battles.
3. Unova: You can only use Pokemons that you have not used in league battles, elite 4 battles, and champion battle.
4. Kalos: You can only use Pokemon that are in the Pokedex entry of the Kalos region.
5. Alola: You can use any Pokemons
6. Galar: You can only use Pokemon that are in the Pokedex entry of the Galar region.
After Johto, he had planned to go to the Hoenn region, then the Unova region, and then the Sinnoh region. As per the requirements of the Hoenn region, if Axel didn\'t use Croconaw, Shelgon, and Riolu in the gym battles in the Johto region, then he could use it in the Hoenn region.
At that time, it would be easier to win the gym battles in the Hoenn region.
"So, if you compete in the gym battles in the Johto region, you will have to sit idle till I complete Unova region. Is that what you want?", asked Axel.
The young Pokemons were now in dilemma. They wanted to fight in the gym battle of the Johto region but they also wanted to fight in the Hoenn region. After thinking for some time, they agreed to Axel\'s proposal.
Axel had also not used Absol, Tauros, Venusaur, Pidgeot, and Gyarados in any gym battles or league battles till now. So, as per the rules, when he completes the Johto region, he could directly target the gym battles of Hoenn region and also compete in the league battles, Elite 4 battles, and champion battles.
However, Axel was not going to do such a thing. Yes, he could be a champion of the Hoenn region as fast as he could but doing so would really hinder his growth and the growth of his new Pokemons that he would capture.
He had also not forgotten the reason for him being a Pokemon master. He wanted to invent new moves and find new evolutions and new discoveries. Now, he also wanted to master aura and psychics and then master grand energy. So, he would take his time.
###
Axel took all of them to training grounds and then said,
"Most of you have evolved but you are still young and just a common rank or uncommon rank Pokemons. So, we would start with the basics.", said Axel.
Chukki... Chukii...
"Yes, be patient. I will tell you what we are going to do. When I say basics, I mean to improve your body stats. Do remember that you are still very weak. You have seen the battles of king-rank Pokemons. You should know the huge difference between them and you.
The second thing that you would focus on would be move mastery. For some of you, I will teach you new moves. If you impress me, I will also help you modify some moves and also brand new moves.
And the final thing would be ability mastery. You have mastered your ability to a good level. Remember, mastering ability is also very important. It would take a long time to master an ability to 100% to mastered and you better start now."
He had been neglecting training his young Pokemons for a long time. Now, it was time to train them properly.
"Now, before training in the training grounds, you will first decide your main stat. Don\'t worry, if it changes in the future, then I have no problem.
There are 5 body stats:
1. Attack.
2. Defense.
3. Agility.
4. Special defense.
5. Special attack.
So, I will give you one hour. So, choose one. Riolu, you don\'t have to choose right now. First, we need to activate your aura and make a detailed training plan."
Axel realized that in the stats measuring department, the system was complete trash. Even if a Pokemon trains all of its stats to S rank but works harder in one of the stats like attack, then the power of its attack stat would be higher.
Axel was now an experienced trainer and he had used the system for 2 years. So, he knew that concentrating on one of the stats more would be beneficial.
He would still instruct their rank-up condition to have all the stats at S rank but he wanted them to concentrate on one stats more. One of the prime examples of such a thing was Shedinja. It did train all of its stats to S rank but it concentrated more on agility and now it was the fastest Pokemon in the team.
The same could be said for Charizard as its special attack moves had very high power.
He then went to Riolu to activate its aura. Now, Axel didn\'t know that a Pokemon could have a separate aura stat. But he recently received a quest from the system that said....
---
Ding!
A special quest has been issued.
Special quest: Riolu is a special Pokemon. It is a Pokemon that would help you till the end of life and will make you stronger. This will be your aura Pokemon and a key to mastering your aura.
Activate the aura stat of Riolu. This is a special quest where you can only activate the aura of 1 Pokemon in your stat.
Do you want to activate its aura?
---
Axel had immediately clicked Yes. The system had considered Riolu to be a special Pokemon. Axel didn\'t know what the benefit would be after he activated the aura stat of Riolu.
Riolu could still use a broken version of \'Aura sense\'. So, activating it fully must give it some unique powers. After he clicked \'Yes\', he got another notification.
---
Ding!
Special quest- Activate the aura by fulfilling the requirements:
1. All stats should reach S rank.
2. It should learn \'Aura sense\'.
3. It should learn \'Aura sphere\'.
4. The host should guide Riolu in activating the aura and the aura of the host and the Pokemon should be connected.
---
Axel could understand the first 3 requirements but he could not understand the fourth requirement. Even if the system didn\'t say it, Axel was going to guide Riolu in aura just like Red had done to him in learning psychic. But it looked like it served a greater purpose.
He looked at its stats once again:
---
Pokemon\'s name: Riolu (Age- 4 months)
Pokemon Nickname: NA
Pokemon Rank: common rank
Pokemon type: Fighting
Ability: Inner focus (20%)
Hidden ability: Prankster (15%)
Potential: Black (Monstrous)
Health: 750/750 Attack: C++
Agility: B Defense: C+
Sp. Atk: D+ Sp. Def: C
Moves:
Active moves: Detect (U) (Lvl 13), Vacuum wave (Lvl 8), Mind reader (U) (Lvl 12), Bullet punch (Lvl 9), High jump kick (u) (Lvl 12), Sword dance (Lvl 8)
Passive move: Aeus energy
---
Some of its stats had improved but that was it. He then looked at its passive move. Riolu might be the first Pokemon in his team to get a passive move this early.
---
Aues energy:
Stage I: This would increase the talent of the user in physical moves and also in physical training. It would also raise the potential of the user.
---
\'Aeus energy\' was a broken move, to be honest. It would increase the effect of body stats except for special attack and special defense. So, the move only concentrated on the physical part of the body stats.
"Riolu, before you activate your aura, I want you to be in your best form. So, first, you will concentrate on training your body stats to a limit. Now, you have not trained or battled enough to know which route you would want to go. So, you will concentrate on each body stat equally till you evolve.
After your evolution, you will concentrate on one stat more than the other.
You will wake up at 5 a.m. and then try to feel the aura. We call it \'Aura sense\'. Don\'t worry, I will help you with it. Doing this exercise in the morning would be helpful as it would have positive effects.
Then you will train one of your body stats for 2 hours. Then you will rest for 30 minutes and then start to train in your moves. You will still try to sense aura and then in the pre-evening, you will again train one of your body stats for 2 hours."
Axel had a similar training plan for all of them. They will first train your body stats for 2-3 hours. Then they will take a rest and then they will train in their moves and ability. Then they will again train one of their body stats for 2-3 hours in the evening.
So, in one day, they would be able to train 2 body stats. In 2 days, they would train in 4 body stats, and then on the third day, they will train on that body stat that they want to improve more. They would train that body stat for 2-3 hours in the morning and 2-3 hours in the evening.
That was Axel\'s general plan. Now, he needed to focus on their moves.
