Pseudo-King Rank Human

Axel woke up at 4 a.m. today. This was surprising cause his human clock would only make him wake up at 5 a.m. in the morning. Then he remembered that he had been kidnapped and he didn't have the concept of time for more than a month.

He took a deep breath and then gave a long sigh. He closed his eyes and sat on the bed. Then he started to breathe in a slow motion. Controlling his breathing and making his mind empty. After 5 minutes, he was in the zone. Axel started to manipulate his aura and the aura started to affect every part of his body. External parts and also internal parts. Axel had been doing this for quite some time now. This was the only thing that would make him calm. It was one of the applications of aura that would revitalize his heath.

He did this for an hour an half and slowly opened his eyes. By this time, he would be in the shower and then getting ready for the day. But for some reason, Axel felt that he needed fresh air and he needed to meditate again. He felt that he was close to something right now. He had this feeling for quite some days actually but right now, it felt more pressing.

He called the hotel staff and asked them to lead him to their garden. This hotel had everything including the garden. The hotel staff was very polite and within a few seconds, he saw a massive garden with a lot of unknown and beautiful flowers. The place looked like a fairyland. The place was filled with the sweet smell of flowers and plants. It was neatly trimmed and clean too.

Axel went to the center of the garden, sat, and then started to meditate. It didn't take him even a minute to reach the meditative state. He didn't know how much time he was in such a state but after a couple of hours, he felt that a rise of power from his gut. The power spread quickly and it not only affected his stomach but all the parts of his body.

Then the pain came in. The pain was not something that he could not handle. He didn't want to disturb others, so he gritted his teeth but the pain started to increase slowly and steadily. Then some light surrounded him and he gave out a powerful scream. The scream created small turbulent winds that destroyed all the beautiful flowers that were nearby. It looked like a massacre.

People started to gather to see what was happening. The hotel manager was experienced. He knew what was happening and he quickly told all the guests to not disturb the person.

"What is happening to him?"

"Oh, don't worry mam. He is just ranking up.", said the hotel manager and calmed everyone down.

The manager then called Joseph to talk about the situation. Joseph called Flint and Agatha and all 3 of them rushed towards the hotel garden.

By that time, the rank-up process was already completed. There were a bunch of notifications that were hovering around but since he was in so much pain, he didn't have the time or the luxury to look at them.

After a couple of minutes, the pain actually turned into some sort of bliss as he started to feel that his whole body was energized to a higher level. He had never felt such a power to this day. He knew that he was ranking up but never expected such a difference in just a single rank.

When the rank-up process was completed, he heard a voice from his right side.

"Hey buddy, are you okay? Did the rank-up go well?"

Flint was quite worried about it cause Axel's mental state was not in a good condition. Normally, this would be a time for celebration but he wanted to see if Axel was still there.

Just like Pokemons, those few minutes of rank-up gave a surge of powerful feeling to the user. So, he didn't know how Axel was feeling right now.

"Yes, Flint. I am okay. Thank you for asking.", said Axel with a smile.

"That is great. Congrats on reaching pseudo-king rank. You might be the fastest trainer to ever reach such a stage except for those monsters in ancient times.", said Flint.

Flint might actually be true. Reaching pseudo-king rank when he was just 16-17 years old was quite a feat. Yet, Axel didn't feel much about it. He was still weak and this was supposed to happen too. He needed more power and he needed to get stronger.

###

The meeting with Steven and Cynthia was delayed as Axel needed some time to himself. They were already informed about Axel's circumstances. Instead of enjoying the sleep, both of them were very stressed. Both of them, especially Steven had recently reached elemental rank. This took a lot of time and effort. Cynthia had also reached Elemental rank a few months before. But now Axel was in pseudo-king rank.

It might take them a lot of time to reach that stage and by that time, Axel might even reach king rank. Why were the differences so high? Both of them were not stupid like the others. They knew that personal power really mattered.

###

Meanwhile, Flint and Agatha were with Axel in a very lavish restaurant. Axel was taking some time to get used to the new power inside his body.

"Axel, how are you feeling right now?", asked Agatha.

"Actually, I am feeling great. Full of energy. It is very weird. Why did you both drag me here? I know that you have better things to do."

"It is because you ranked up to pseudo-king rank. We as your senior will have to give you some information."

"What kind of information?"

"Well, just like Pokemons, it becomes very hard for us humans too to reach king rank in our lives. Even though you have already reached pseudo-king rank, don't celebrate too soon. There are a lot of conditions that you need to fulfill to reach king rank. It would easily take you years to reach that stage.", said Agatha.

"How much time did it take you to reach king rank from pseudo-king rank?", asked Axel.

"It took me 15 years to reach that stage and I was quite fast compared to normal trainers.", said Agatha with pride.

"That long!!!"

"Of course, do you think that king rank is so easy to get? But the benefits of reaching king rank are equally good too. First of all, it raises your life expectancy by almost 150-200 years.

It also raises your base stats to a quite high level and when you reach king rank, you have basically left the mortal part of your body."

"What does that mean?"

"You will have to feel it to know it. I cannot just explain it in words. Anyway, since it is very hard to reach king rank, it is necessary to prepare as early as possible."

"Thanks for the advice. But I don't even know where to start?"

"Don't worry, take your time. You can also ask Oak and Red about it. They know it more than us. We are just here to inform and warn you about it. Why don't we have breakfast right now?", asked Flint.

Axel was quite hungry after the rank-up, so he ordered a lot of food and ate a lot. Even Flint was surprised to see his appetite.

After getting comfortable, Axel looked at the notification and his stats.

Ding!

The host has mastered enhanced health.

Ding!

The Host has mastered 'Enhanced Survivability'

All of the host's stats have massively increased.

The host is ranking up

There were 5 requirements to master 'Enhanced Survivability' and only 'Enhanced health' was left to master. Thankfully he did master it today and now he had mastered 2 of the requirements for 'Enhanced willpower'. One of them was 'Enhanced Survivability' and another was 'Pain suppression.'

Axel then looked at his stats after a long time.

There were a lot of changes. Specially his health which has massively increased. He didn't believe that his health would increase so much if he had not mastered 'Enhanced Health'. That was why he was feeling so full of energy.

Axel didn't know what would happen if he mastered all the requirements of 'Enhanced Willpower' but he was very hopeful that something drastically good would happen.

This next goal was to concentrate on the next requirement for 'Enhanced Willpower'.

"Oh wow, I didn't think that there was such a place on this island. You should really pay a bonus to those who made it.", said Cynthia as she looked at the place.

The place was very unique and it was the first time for Axel to be here. The place was basically a closed padded room. But calling it a room would be unjust as the place was very big. It was basically like a small hall.

3 of them were the only people inside yet they didn't feel that they were alone in this big room. The room was actually painted so well that they felt that they were in a garden with chairs and grasses all over.

"It is some sort of a new technology where you will feel that you are in a different place. And yes, we paid a lot to those who did it. This is just a prototype thing. We will be able to replicate stuff like the smell and touch too in the future.", Steven.

"It is nice to know that Devon Corporation is investing in these kinds of things.", remarked Axel.

"One of the nice things about this place is that the sound is totally sealed off. Without my permission, no one could hear anything outside and there were also no cameras around. So, our conversation would remain private.", said Steven.

"That is nice to hear."

"So, why don't we first have some tea and then talk about you, Axel?"

"Yes, that is why are here."

They had come here so that Axel could tell why he was so strong and his Pokemons were so strong. After the story of Axel would be over, then only Cynthia and Axel would talk and Cynthia would also tell her secret.

Steven could also have made a deal with Cynthia but he didn't. He had already paid a hefty amount while dealing with Axel. He didn't want to pay more.

Also, he felt that if Axel could rise up so fast with such a humble beginning, then his way must be better than Cynthia's. He could also guess that their ways of training might also be very similar. So, he didn't make a deal with Cynthia.

"So, where do I begin? Ah, why don't you start asking questions and I will try my best to answer them.", said Axel.
