Meeting Morgan

Noah now sat at home and helped his mother in the business. His dream of being a powerful trainer was now crushed but he took it upon himself to train Agnes and Dragonite. He had nothing much to do right now.

After pleading with Noah for some time, Noah finally agreed. He didn't have to sit in the office all day when he became the mayor. He just had to decide some things and then attend some meetings a few times a month.

"So, you are going to directly select me as a mayor?", asked Noah.

"No, that would be stupid. I will select 2-3 candidates for the mayor but I am confident that you will be elected.", said Axel.

"Since I am going to be a mayor now, let me ask you something. How are you going to deal with the noninterference of the league? That would impact the city a lot.", said Noah.

"Yes, I have some things planned. I mean I can think of asking some businessmen to set up their own Pokemon center and Poke mart. But I don't know what to do about 'Choose your Pokemon'", said Axel.

'Choose your Pokemon' was a service that the league provided. When the kid reaches 13 years old, they can choose their Pokemons. The league provided a huge variety of Pokemons. A trainer could choose literally any Pokemon in the whole world and it only depended on how much they wanted to spend on it.

The league could do that due to the huge connection that they had but Axel didn't have such a huge connection. Axel may be able to provide Pokemons from the Kanto region with much difficulty but Pokemons from other regions? He didn't know that he could do it.

"Why don't you talk to Oak and Venu's family about it? Axel, you have good connections too. You know so many gym leaders and elite 4 members. You also know the champion, Charles.

I think it is time to use your connections.", said Noah.

Axel also agreed to it. He then realized that cave where he and Angela went. Now, there were not all the varieties of Pokemons there but those Pokemons were very good and had better foundations than others.

Axel got to thinking about it.

###

2 days passed in a blink of an eye. The council was still debating on what to do about the 'Choose your Pokemon' issue. Noah was also added to the council. Axel also told the people that they will be selecting a mayor from 3 candidates.

Most of them were like Noah. They were old, mature, and good to be the mayor. The voting was starting today but Noah was leading by a big margin.

"Sir, have they responded?", asked Liam.

"Yes, and it is a positive response. Mainly the champion, Charles said that he would give a hand. He has many connections and within a month we can build this 'Choose your Pokemon' and it might be better than the league."

Why would be better than the league? First, even if it was the league, they could not provide starter Pokemons but Axel could with the help of Charles and starter families. Not all the starter families agreed but most of them did, so that was the bonus.

However, if a child wanted to get one of the starter Pokemons, they would have to complete a test.

Next was the cave. Now children from the Hakone city could get Arcons and other Pokemons from the cave.

Charles and Oak did the rest and contacted all the breeders around the world to make it happen. For some reason, Charles and Oak were overly enthusiastic about this mission.

"I just cannot believe that our city is thriving even without the league.", said Oliver.

"However, we are facing another problem. Since we are not with the league, we might lose a lot in the tourist department.", said Liam.

"That might be true and it will happen for a short period of time but when they see that we have so much to offer, they will naturally come to us.", replied Axel.

 Axel was not lying when he said it. First of all, they had him, mighty Axel Blaze. They also had a stadium where there would be fights once a year. They were also planning on a forest tour where once every 3 months, some of the selected tourists would get a chance to explore the east and the west side of the forest without the risk of dying. And finally, they had training grounds.

Now, the training grounds were only for Axel and the family but Axel had separated some of the training grounds just for commercial purposes. He was not using all of them at the same time.

###

It was now finally time for Morgan to grace his presence. Axel had personally gone to the airport to receive him. After the tide, he just wanted to enjoy his life for some time. He had to come in disguise as he was too famous in the city.

The tourists that came to the Hakone city were low in number as the league had finally announced that the city didn't want to associate with them and they were not going to be involved in it.

Coupled with the fact that the city had just faced a tide battle, people were scared. However, there were some curious tourists that still wanted to visit the city.

As he was searching for Morgan, he noticed a blond hair old man with a lady. Morgan had come with his wife.

"Morgan, it is nice to see you again.", said Axel with a handshake.

"Yes, it is nice to see you again. Now, let me see how far my son has grown.", said Morgan as he was eager to meet his son.

Frank didn't come to receive them as he was busy with training. After hearing the reason, Morgan was surprised including his wife. He had never seen his son so serious.

"Frank has changed a lot. He is more focused on training now. By the way, did you bring the egg of Magnemite?"

"Of course I did. Don't worry about it. By the way, I also want to see those training grounds that you always speak."

Mrs. Surge was silent. She was never the talking type. She had only come here to see her son after a long time.

###

After reaching home, Mrs. Surge gave a big hug to her son. She missed her son dearly. Meanwhile Morgan was evaluating his son and he was impressed.

"Son, how about a battle between your Raichu and my Raichu? I want to see how far you have improved.", said Morgan.

Frank nodded his head. His behavior had completely changed. From the talking type to the serious type. His mother looked worried but his father was happy about it. His son was finally getting serious.

The battle between Morgan and Frank didn't last long. Morgan's Raichu was a pseudo-champion rank Pokemon. It was very powerful. However, Morgan was also surprised that Frank's Raichu had ranked up to pseudo-king rank. Frank had not told Morgan about it and wanted it to be a surprise.

When the battle was over, the 3 girls saw Morgan and came rushing towards him.

"Uncle Morgan, please save us. This devil is torturing us.", said Violet.

Daisy was silent and just greeted Morgan as they knew him. Morgan didn't know what was happening so he asked Axel about it. Axel then told him the full story. After that Morgan looked at the girls and then said,

"You are lucky to have a trainer like Axel training you. Do you know who he is? He is the successor of Oak which means that one day he will become the Pokemon master. You are being trained by the future Pokemon master. Don't you know what that means?

Axel had been going easy on you. If you want to become a good trainer then you must follow what he says. If you can't even keep up your training then it is good that you forget about being a trainer.", said Morgan.

The girls had expected that they would be saved by Morgan but they didn't expect to get an earful from him. This made the girls doubt if they were the ones who were wrong.

Daisy's Squirtle had agreed to train hard but other Squirtles didn't want to do it. So, the exercise that they had to do was increasing day by day.

###

After drinking some coffee, Axel asked about Magnemite.

"Haha, it looks like you are in a hurry. Ok, let's go the garden.", said Morgan and then took out 3 eggs from different incubators.

"Morgan, why do you have 3 eggs?"

"That is the surprise that I have for you. You will require 3 Magnemite for evolution. Only after you have 3 magnemites, they can evolve into Magneton. You can get any 3 Magnemite to combine but if they are from the same parents and they are being trained at the same time, their synergy would be higher when they evolve.

So, that is what I have.", said Morgan with a smile.

"Morgan, I don't know what to say. You did a lot for me.", said Axel.

"Just promise me that they will become a powerful Magneton in the future.", said Morgan.

"That I can promise."

"They will hatch in 2 days. That is why I came here as fast as I could."

"Thanks."

The world didn't know that Magneton had another evolution and that was Magnezone. Axel knew that it was not a normal evolution and that it could not evolve to Magnezone with just a Thunderstone. The game also said that it could evolve when it was in a magnetic field area but Axel knew that it would not be so simple.

But he was sure that he would find out something about it. He still had a lot of time to think about it.

Axel then started to ask Morgan about Magnemite. Unlike Slowbro and Slowking, when they fuse together and evolve, it would be a permanent fusion.

"Can't I raise all of them equally to elemental rank. 2 of them would have electric core and one of them would have steel core. Then when I fuse them, they could have both the cores.", said Axel with anticipation.

"No, it doesn't work like that. There were researchers who thought the same but they were not successful. When a Magnemite reaches rare rank, they cannot be fused.

I don't know why that happens but this is the truth. So, you have to fuse them before they reach rare rank.", said Morgan.

"Don't you think that there is a further evolution of Magneton? Like what if 3 of them fuse together into one?", asked Axel.

"I don't think so there is. I mean theoretically, that looks possible but the researchers had tried this and they had not been able to do it.", said Morgan.

"Hmm… for some reason I believe that it is possible. I think I can further evolve them."

"Why do you think so?"

If it was any other trainer that had said it, Morgan would not have believed it but looking at the track record of Axel, he wanted to know if it could be true.

"First of all, Magnemite is a robotic Pokemon. It does have feelings and emotions but when they combine to become Magneton, it would basically operate very well. All these 3 Magnemite have their own feelings but due to the electrical currents, they could function as one.

This is very peculiar cause combining 3 Pokemons and having the same thought is not so easy to do. I believe that all three of them could combine into one and they would have a single thought and feelings. I think that if we tweak electrical currents in the right way, we might be able to achieve it.", replied Axel.
