New Partner

Gogoat was told to concentrate on a number of existing moves. Specially moves like 'Horn leech', 'Bullet seed', and 'Seed bomb'. It was also told to concentrate on its pre-domain move and 'Field control'. 

Gogoat as a Pokemon was not very competitive. It only trained very hard in the past as it wanted to take its revenge. Now, as it took its revenge, it didn't have the zeal to fight and compete. However, it had said that it would do anything for Axel. As Axel was its savior. 

That was why Axel didn't want it to learn any new moves. He wanted it to concentrate on the existing moves. If Gogoat could concentrate on the existing moves, it would be very powerful in the future. 

Finally, it was Nidoking's turn. It was his official Pokemon and it had grown very powerful. The first thing Axel told Nidoking to do was to concentrate on its ground-type moves. It had both cores. Since it had a poison core for a long time, it had focused too much on poison-type moves. 

Axel wanted to take advantage of its ground-type core too. Axel also said that it would be learning a new move relating to ground type. He also wanted it to concentrate on physical type moves. Most of its moves were special type. In the battle with Bruno, he realized that Nidoking lacked physical type moves. 

He wanted it to capitalize on that cause Nidoking was very strong physically. 

10 minutes of dinner turned into 2 hours of dinner conversation but Axel was happy about it. This new rule would help him a lot in the future. Axel said that he would personally take care of the training session for other Pokemons. 

He had decided that he would start his actual journey from tomorrow.

After 5 days,

"Slowbro, now try the 'Rain dance' once again. Try to imagine that it is a 'Psychic rain' but you should not use psychic powers for it.", said Axel.

Axel was training Slowbro as he was giving instructions. He wanted Slowbro to learn 'Rain dance', 'Store power', and 'Chilling water'. He believed that it would be very powerful after it mastered those moves. 

He also wanted it to master 'Amnesia' more and wanted it to be level 40 and above.

Togepi, Totodile, and Acron were learning new moves. Axel didn't put pressure on them. He wanted them to go easy and relax for now. They were mostly 3-4 months old. They still needed to get over the fact that they should work hard.

It would take some time to change their mindset. Togepi was very competitive so it would be easy for Axel to change its mindset but the others needed some time. 

Axel was walking towards Cheerygrove city. It was a beautiful city with a sea breeze and beautiful flowers. It was a peaceful city. As Axel was walking from New Bark town to the city, it was bound to take some days. Axel was also training his Pokemons at the same time. 

He felt a bit nostalgic as he had done the same thing when he first got Nidoran and Shedinja. Now, they were king-rank Pokemons. It was always interesting to meet new Pokemons and catch them.

Axel wanted to get a Riolu but after searching for a bit, he found out that Riolu was very rare to find and it would take a lot of time to get it. He wanted to find one as soon as possible so that he could train it as soon as possible. 

However, the situation was not in his favor. He now had to find a decent fighting-type Pokemon that was even harder to find in the wild. After that, he would also have to think of other 2 types. 

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard an explosion from his right.

BOOOOMMM

"Slowpoke, look around and tell me what happened. All of you get inside the ball.", said Axel to the little Pokemons.

Charizard and other king-rank Pokemons would be a bit far to train themselves. This was done as the power of the king-rank Pokemon was huge and his new Pokemon may not be able to handle that power. That sound came from where Nidoking was training. 

Axel was not worried about Nidoking. Nidoking was a rank Pokemon and his official Pokemon. It had great defense and high health points. So, it would take a lot to injure Nidoking. 

Axel also started to run towards the place of the huge explosion. He noticed that his other Pokemons were also going there. He got some confidence after seeing his team.

When they reached the place of the explosion, Axel could see that Nidoking was fighting with a king rank Primeape. There was a tribe of Primeape who were hiding behind the trees. 

Axel also realized that there was only 1 king rank Pokemon in that group and it was fighting against Nidoking. 

"Nidoking, what the hell is happening?", asked Axel.

The fighting stopped. After seeing that there were other king-rank Pokemons that had come to Nidoking's rescue, the Primeape didn't do anything and started to observe others. 

Primeape was almost always angry. It had gained that in its genes. So, Axel could assume what must have happened. 

Nidoking started to tell the story and Axel realized that Primeape was the one who had attacked Nidoking after Nidoking trespassed their area. Nidoking did try to apologize and wanted to get out of there but Primeape would not let it. 

"Hmmm,....."

 Axel could see that there were around 30 Pokemons in that group. 

Axel could also see that there were some Mankey who were just a baby and some of them had good potential. Then all of them hit him. 

What if he caught a Mankey rather than Riolu. Riolu was very hard to catch and he wanted to catch all the Pokemons that he had planned early so that he could train all of them.

"Primeape, why did you attack my Pokemon?", asked Axel.

"He came into my territory and I don't like it."

"I already know that. Do you have any other reason for attacking Nidoking?", asked Axel.

"What other reason should I have to attack it?", replied Primeape with its own question.

"Since we have trespassed your territory, let me first apologize to you. We should not have done that but in my defense, I didn't know that this was your area. 

I want to offer you compensation for our trespassing."

"Oh, what is it? Tell me fast!!!", said Primeape getting excited. It was already thinking about its death speech and how it would protect its group but now it was getting some sort of compensation. It was excited.

"I will feed all of your group a very hearty meal. Now don't think that it is an ordinary meal. It would be something you have never tasted before."

"Ok, I accept it."

Axel had a lot of Pokemon food and ingredients with him. He had done research on what Primeape would like as it was an interesting Pokemon. He started to make the food and his Pokemons also joined him. 

Bagon, Totodile, and Acron went on to play with small Mankeys and others started to talk with Primeapes. Togepi didn't give a crap about others and started to train. It was like a party. 

Axel made the food and everyone started to eat it. The group highly appreciated the food. Primeape were the type of Pokemons who were angry most of the time but they were also honorable Pokemon. They knew that Axel was doing it with a good heart. 

Axel took out 6 bottles of alcohol and shared them with the king-rank Primeape. It had never drunk one before so it was a new experience for it. Axel then started to share his journey. He started from where he was born and how he got so powerful. 

He also shared his story on how he trained his Pokemons.

"I must say human, you are a very gifted trainer. If you could train most of your Pokemons to king rank in just 2 years, then you must be very powerful.", said the king-rank Primeape.

He then started to talk about the tide battle and how he faced them and also told it about his league battle.

"I have no interest in these tide battles. I just want to protect my family. That is why I train so much. However, if someone decides to harm my family, I will do anything to get revenge."

He was having a good brotherly moment with Primeape. He didn't expect that he would have a good conversation with a wild Pokemon.

"I want to be the Pokemon master in the future and in my journey, I want to also train a Primeape. Are any of the Mankeys interested in joining my team? I promise that I will take care as if it was a part of my family."

"Hmmm… Gary, come over here.", shouted Primeape. 

A Mankey came towards them jumping in joy. It was having a good time. 

"This is Gary. My son. My son is arrogant but he is also very ambitious. He wants to be the most powerful Primeape in the future. 

Gary, do you want to join this human in your adventure? I have talked with him and he is a capable trainer."

Primeape directly introduced his son to the adventure. Axel scanned the Mankey and he was surprised to find out that it had brown potential. Getting a brown potential Pokemon in the wild was very rare.

All in all, it was a powerful Pokemon as it was only 4 months old and it had started to train for only a month. Axel was quite happy about it. 

"My son has agreed to go with you. Do you accept it, human?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then go and talk with your mom and your sisters. You will be leaving tomorrow.", said Primeape to his son. 

His son got a bit emotional but it didn't show in his face. It went running towards its mother and sisters. 

"Since you have helped with his issue and also become my friend, I will also help you.", said Axel.

"The meal is enough and my son would grow much faster with you. So you don't have to worry about rewarding me."

"I know but what I am going to tell you is information. Do you know that your species has another evolution after Primeape?", asked Axel.

"How can you be so sure about it?"

"I already told you that I am the student of the Pokemon master. I read some of his notes and found out about it. I don't know how can you evolve further but since I have your son now, I will figure it out. I read that after evolution, your species would be ghost/fighting type."

Primeape didn't feel good when hearing that it would be a ghost type Pokemon as it was comfortable being a fighting type. However, evolving further did interest it a lot. 

As per the anime and games, he knew how to evolve Primeape to Annihilape but he knew that it would not evolve in that way in real life. 

Primeape had to use 'Rage fist' 20 times continuously and level up. Annihilape evolves from Primeape when the rage in its soul becomes too much for its physical form to contain; it gains increased power as a result of its spirit no longer being limited by the flesh. 

However, in all these years since ancient times, there must have been some cases of that happening to the trainer Pokemons or wild Pokemons. So why was there no Annihilape. There have been no sightings of it. So, Axel made an assumption that he was still missing something.
