Gardevoir

The place was nothing he had ever seen. This was the most beautiful scenery he had seen in his life time. It was a forest but everything in that forest; the grass, the ground, the trees, flowers, and even the lake at the center of the forest was glowing with a weird type of energy.

This glow enhances the beauty of the place to another level. Slowly others also started to appear and then all of them were also surprised just like Axel. 

"Welcome humans, I have been eagerly waiting for you. Took you some time to find this place.", came a voice from behind. 

All of them got ready for battle and then turned around. They looked around and found a variety of fairy-type Pokemons waiting for them. There were Togepi, Ralts, Clefable, Mawile, and many more. 

The one who spoke was Gardevoir. It was the final evolution of Ralts and it was a psychic/fairy-type Pokemon. It looked very powerful. Axel could not determine how powerful it was but it must be at least a champion-rank Pokemon. 

"Thank you. This place looks a lot different from other resource-type places.", said Lance.

"Yes, it is different. We, the fairy types are different from other Pokemons after all. You must have come here to claim this place. As you must know, you must pass the test before claiming it.", said Gardevoir.

"Yes, that is the case but I also want to cure myself. You see, I got exposed from the grand energy and the Ninetales said you can heal me from it."

"Yes, I can already see the state of your body and I can heal you. You don't have to worry about it but first, do you want to hear about the test?", asked Ninetales.

"Yes, please say it." This time it was Ryker who spoke.

"The test is very simple. First, only one Pokemon can participate in it and it must be a fairy-type Pokemon. The Pokemon should enter the lake of clearance and then meditate for 3 days. It can come out every 3 hours to rest. The lake of clearance is the place where the fairy-type energy is concentrated and it would help them grow stronger.", said Gardevoir.

"Excuse me, but this doesn't seem like a test. It seems more like a reward than a test.", said K.

"You are correct. This is a test but it is more like a reward. The difficult part of the test is that not many fairy-type Pokemon can stay here for 3 days."

"Why can't they do it?"

"I don't have the exact reason for it but mostly this lake determines the bloodline purity of the fairy-type Pokemon. If the fairy-type Pokemon don't have a good bloodline from its parents, then they won't be able to complete the test.", informed Gardevoir.

Lance and Kate also had a fairy-type Pokemon with them. They wanted to send their Pokemon for the test but now they were hesitating. However, Axel didn't hesitate for one bit. He believed in Togepi and he knew that it could survive there for 3 days.

Axel looked at Togepi and found out that it was just staring at the lake. Something must be on the lake and it wanted to go there.

"Do you want to go there? You will have to spend 3 days there.", said Axel.

Togepi looked at Axel and then nodded its head. 

"Ok, then go and meditate. Try to accumulate as much fairy-type energy as you can but don't overdo it.", said Axel.

Togepi went near the lake and started to run around it. It first touched the lake with small legs and showed a surprised expression. Then it directly jumped to the lake and went inside the lake. 

 ---

Ding!

The special attack stat of Togepi has been upgraded to A rank.

Ding!

Togepi is going to evolve. Do you want to extend the evolution?

 ---

 "Yes, do it."

 ---

Ding!

Please specify the evolution condition. Do note that Togepi is inside a mysterious place and it is filled fairy type energy. This will help Togepi in its future development.

 ---

Axel then looked at Gardevoir and asked, "Can Togepi stay there for more than 3 days?"

"I am sorry but it cannot. 3 days is the limit for a Pokemon like Togepi. It would not be able to hold more energy for more than 3 days. 3 days might also be very long for it to handle."

'All of its stats should be S rank and it should be inside the lake for 3 days.' , said Axel in his mind.

"Now, can you tell me how to cure it?", asked Axel.

"Yes, but first, why don't all of you roam around the place? The place here is better for you to adjust grand energy. But don't touch or pick anything.", said Gardevoir.

After that others decided to roam around the place to explore. Gardevoir and Axel went to a quiet place and then started to have a conversation.

"I can see that you have visited ground type well and fire type well. So, you should also know that I cannot tell you anything about the grand energy. But I would reveal something to you in order to cure it. 

You see, this aeus energy would be beneficial to you if you could use it properly but since your body is very weak, you cannot handle it. I can take the aeus energy from you but I can also manipulate it in such a way that you can store and manipulate it inside your body which would make your body stronger.

However, there is also a chance that you might not be able to store it properly, so your body condition might also degrade. At that time, I will not be there by your side and you might really die."

From the system and from the explanation of Gardevoir, he could tell that this aeus energy was something beneficial for his body but since the energy was so dense and heavy, his body could not handle it. 

Gardevoir had given him 2 options. If he could really store and manipulate it inside the body there was a huge risk involved. However, if he became successful in doing it, then there might be a surprise waiting for him in the future. 

After thinking about it for some time, Axel made his decision.

"I don't want to store it inside. Can you please take it out of me?", asked Axel.

"Hmm, a good and safe decision. I will do it. It would be very painful for you and it might take some hours to complete it."

"It's okay, I can handle some pain. Just take this thing out of my body.", said Axel.

Axel could take the risk and store it inside his body but this was not some fantasy novel and he was not the protagonist of it. He didn't have any plot armor and he could really die. He could come here again to try this aeus energy again but he didn't want to risk anything right now.

###

Axel was gritting his teeth while Gardevoir's hand was on his back. First, he wanted to live and he didn't think that the pain would be a problem. He had handled a lot of pain in his life. 

Gardevoir had warned him about the pain and he didn't think much about it but the pain was really freaking bad.

His whole body was ringing from pain so much so that his body was slightly shaking from it. Tears were coming from his eyes and snout was coming from his nose. 

If the pain was only from one part of his body, then he may be able to handle it but it was paining all over his body. He guessed that since Ninetales spread the aeus energy all over his body, it was paining all over his body.

He wanted to curse Ninetales out loud but also knew that he was alive due to it. He could only blame himself for his stupidity.

An hour had passed and Gardevoir had told him to be as still as possible. 2 more hours were left before he could get rid of it but the time was going so slow.

Ding!

Mysterious energy is coming out of your body….

Ding!

Mysterious energy is coming out of your body….

….

The notification was coming continuously and he could see that it was working. At least, he would not have to fear for his life now. Since the pain was so high, he thought to distract him by thinking about something else. 

He decided to think about his Pokemon and their future training plans. He first thought how powerful Slowbro had become after the system finally assimilated with it. It might not be long until it could reach tier 2. Looking at the stats, he could confidently say that it might reach tier 2 after a month or 2.

Then he thought about his new Pokemons. Togepi might take some time to evolve as it was a fairy-type Pokemon but Mankey, Acron, and Totodile might evolve on this island. He was happy to see their new evolved forms.

It would take a lot of time for them to reach rare rank as they had 3 evolution stages. So, it would take a lot of time for him to get the first badge in the Johto region. He could use Slowbro and then sweep the gyms as it was registered to fight in the Johto region but that would hinder the growth of his new Pokemons.

They also needed to know the pressure of big battles and they needed to grow. Gym battles were important for the growth of Pokemons. He could only patiently wait for them to grow stronger. 

He did have his talent that would help them grow stronger at a much faster rate but reaching rare or elemental rank would take some time. He decided that all of his new Pokemons should reach rare rank after 4 months. 

4 months was very fast but he knew that he could do it. He now has abundant experience from the Kanto region and he knew that part of the training that he should focus more.

Then his attention shifted to Alakazam. Alakazam was very close to reaching tier 2 of king rank. It might even reach tier 2 before Slowbro. Axel was hoping that it would be able to do it in a few months.

After reaching king rank, it became very hard for a Pokemon to even reach tier 2 of king rank. As of right now, he didn't mind much as he had time to use them in gym battles. He could not use any of them in the Johto region but he would need them for tide battles.

As Axel was thinking all these things, 3 hours had passed. Thinking about other things did help him control the pain.
