---------

The potential of Shedinja did not increase but right now, it didn't need it. There were a couple of changes. The ghost core had changed from '100%' to 'mastered'. All of its stats had returned to F. In addition to the move's level, there were stages of moves too. The moves stage increased from:

N/A=> Understanding=> Competence=> Good=> Epic=> Extreme. I.e..

N=> U=> C=> G=> E=> EE

There was only 1 move in Shedinja rooster that was in 'Good' stage. Most of them were at 'competence' level and few of them were at 'understanding' level. The level of ghost-type moves increased after the rank-up. This may be a cause of Shedinja's core mastery. That was a nice surprise.

Every Pokemon congratulated Shedinja. Axel could feel the jealous glare from other team members which made him happy. This rank-up was not only due to Axel but also cause Shedinja's hard work. Axel decided to hold a party for his Pokemons to celebrate this achievement. This was done for 2 reasons.

First: Shedinja deserved it. It had worked its ass for this. It had worked more than anyone of Axel's Pokemon. So, Axel wanted it to feel proud and happy.

Second: The party was for other Pokemons too. He wanted other Pokemons to realize the power of hard work.

Axel started to use his good spices for this party. There were a lot of rare Pokemon foods that he had gotten from Oak. Being a successor of Oak was one of the best decisions that he had ever made. From TMs, and food recipes to discussing theories, Oak was the whole package.

Axel also invited his teammates but all of them politely refused. They were jealous enough after Shedjina's rank up. They didn't have it in them to join the party. So, only Axel was left to enjoy all this drink and food.

"Alright. Today is the rest day for you. Enjoy all the food you can. From tomorrow all of you would work extra hard. First, let me congratulate Marcus for being the first Pokemon to rank up to elemental rank"

Bulba… Bulbasaur….

NIDO…..

Sol….

….

…

All of them gave a heartfelt praise to Shedinja.

"I also want to point out the hard work and persistence of Marcus. Though it had the lowest potential in the team, its growth had been much more than others. All of you should also work hard and think about it."

Axel didn't say much but all of his Pokemon knew the meaning of Axel's words.

'Don't underestimate hard work.'

That was what he meant. All of his Pokemons especially, Nidorino could feel that. It and Shedinja had started at the same time but now Shedinja had already ranked up. None of Axel's Pokemon were lazy per se, but none of them worked as hard as Shedinja.

The night party was over and all of them went to sleep. Gogoat refused to be in the Pokeball again. Axel didn't get what was inside its head. He just gave up thinking and went to bed.

###

Axel woke up to a sound. The sound was sweet but it just didn't feel right in the silent environment. Axel woke up from his tent. He just thought that it was Shedinja or Gogoat making some noise but the voice was a bit different.

He started walking towards the sound. Sensing that it may be dangerous he had also gathered his Pokeballs for protection. Axel started to follow the sound. After some time he recognized that someone was singing.

It was a girl's voice. The moon was bright tonight so Axel didn't need to worry about the light. As the voices got clear, Axel realized that the voice didn't belong to Lyra or Lorelai. This situation was getting interesting.

Getting the big bushes off, Axel got to a clear place. There was a small pond. The area was open, devoid of any trees and bushes. Near the edge of the lake, stood a young girl dipping her legs in the pond and singing. The song was not something he recognized.

Everything was peaceful. The moonlight, the open space, the girl singing and the pond. It was very pretty and romantic. Just as Axel was absorbing the environment, it just hit him. Who the fuck was this girl? This was an unknown island with no humans living on it.

The only people that could be here were the Hoenn team, Kanto team, and their explorer. The girl didn't belong to the Kanto or Hoenn team. Axel was sure of it. Is she one of the explorers? But why would she be here at this time?

All of these questions were in Axel's head when the girl spoke,

"You have been thinking for quite some time. Am I that scary?"
