chapter 57: Another psuedo king

When the trio of Electabuzz, Espeon and Slowking teleported away in front of the eyes of everyone, they arrived at a solitary clearing in the forest away from the main Tide force.

There awaited three Pokemons, two pseudo kings, Alakazam and Nidoking along with a nidorina.

She was probably the mate of nidoking and couldn't evolve due to the lack of moon stone, hence she was still in the second form of nidorina.

This was a good news for Espeon. Espeon is powerful but a nidoqueen could easily take down someone with as weak defense as Espeon in a single direct hit.

The trio group of Pokemon eyed their opponents for a few moments and awaited for some kind of signal. And the signal came when the loud bang was heard from the smy and the Tide's first line collided with the Frontline of the 65th infantry corp.

Slowking and Alakazam floated in the mid air and suddenly they teleported away from the group of pokemon.

But it wasn't all. Wherever they stood previously a small crater was created as their psychic powers hit the ground.

It was a game of attack and teleport. They both attacked through their psychic and sent psychic attacks which they dodged through psychic by deflecting the attack or teleport . Both are powerful enough and have enough control in their psychic powers to sense the flow of psychic power in the teleport.

The moment one appears the other used pyschic at the other on that location and then flash away from the opponents attack through psychic.

It has made both of them similar to a lighthouse in the dark night in their psychic a vision. Yet they used teleport in this case was because they wanted to head away from their current location.

Though the battle between electabuzz and nidoking was going to be chaotic and too destructive. Both the psychic Pokemons are weaker in terms of defense and could be badly hurt during the aftermath of collision of attack.

This was known to both of them so they tried to wisk away from this danger zone, yet they don't want to give the opponent a breathing space and hence their chase of teleport began.

They flashed around for more than forty times in just a couple of minutes and when they were about half a kilometer away from the electric tyrant and ground - poison behemoth, they once again came to a halt altogether.

The speed battle was over and now the brute Force of the Psychic power back comes to play.

Alakazam was stronger than Slowking but the difference wasn't too much.

The psuedo king pokemons could easily destroy Pokemons weaker than them. Even a peak elite Pokemon could stand against him for a couple of hits at most.

But Slowking wasn't just anybody.

All the three Pokemons of Alex were at peak elite before he started his Pokemon journey officially.

Pidgeot reached this level a year before the trip, and the others reached this threshold few months later.

And even though pidgeot reached this level the earliest of the three, the current situation is that he is far behind the others in showing signs of transformation to the next level.

Pseudo king stage is the level where Pokemons are getting more and more accustomed to the raw elemental power and their body becomes stronger than earlier.

This is a tranformational stage. So much energy is required to break through the boundary of the elite peak.

Earlier, electabuzz , Slowking and pidgeot were at similar condition before the journey. But Mew involvement led slowking have a lead in the transformation of body.

Slowking was trained in the intrigues of psychic power by the strongest psychic Pokemon, Mew and later Alakazam and Xatu ( Samuel's Pokemon) helped him truly learn how to fight effectively.

Mew had too much power to truly master degree control on the level of a champion level or higher level Alakazam.

This had led slowking to the final step and over time he could reach the next level. He was going to be the first Pokemon to reach pseudo king stage as he could reach it in around six months time.

But the thunder stone blessed by Zapdos had made electabuzz surpass them and he became the current strongest Pokemon of Alex.

The transformation of electabuzz revealed to Slowking that learning the control of power isn't the only way or one could say the quickest way.

When one is fighting someone his equal or stronger than them the he could see a brand new door for gaining strength.

The encounter with tyranitar, the ghost parents as well as the final encounter with Gengar accelerated the process.

These battles did the deal. Electabuzz had faced them in all three of these situations and will the help of thunder gem from Zapdos did the trick and he transformed to an even powerful form.

Alex felt that when he evolves to Electrivire later he would be at least pseudo king peak. Alex decided to evolve electabuzz after he completely learn to control his power at this level. After all what he needs is a powerful thunderstorm which can boost electabuzz and promotes his thunder power.

Pidgeot had injured his wings and couldn't face the ghost trio and hence was a behind the others in transformation to the next stage. Pidgeot doesn't have a guide to help him and so he is trying to get stronger on his own.

And finally, Slowking. He has two great encounters which helped his power more sublime and get more in touch with his powers.

The training is one thing but practical is the quickest way and if both are done together then the effect is even more brilliant.

This time in the Pokemon Tide, Slowking met his chance for transformation.

The Alakazam in the earlier stages of their fight subdued Slowking and he could only last long due to his companion's help but over time he was getting more and more refined in his psychic powers.

Whatever he learned from his mentors was put into effect and practice in their fight and he even put his personal touch to this battle. Where once Slowking was dominated, now he could fight as equal and all of this is done in less than a week time.

And ib this time Slowking knows that he will become the second Pokemon to be Pseudo king.

With this confidence, he was attacking Alakazam with new vigour. This time it wasn't just clash of psychic but also the water attacks were thrown in the midst.

Everything within their range of control became a weapon which was hurled at other.

The trees were broken to serve as a hammer or turned pointed to pierce the other. The stones was smashed at the other.

Even leaves of the trees through psychic turned into sharp blades to cut the other.

But they have also erected a psychic barrier around themselves.

They didn't dodge the attacks from the other but stood their ground and attacked.

It was a show of attack and defence. They changed from attack to defence in seconds so fast that it seemed that they were doing both attack and defence together at the same time.

But, this is a trait only possible in the king level psychic Pokemons or some other higher level. The buffer time between the two ways was so quick that one couldn't discern between the two.

Everything with two hundred metre radius was turned barren and the ground was full of craters. The few Pokemons who appeared in their range of attack has turned to minces or crushed under the grand attack of the two powerful psychic pokemons.

Throughout the assault Alakazam was the one who has the slight upper hand. But this didn't discourage Slowking. He continued to attack with even more enthusiastically over time as he felt he was at the doorstep to the new world and he could pass the door any moment now.

The attack frequency increased but they couldn't break the psychic barrier that Alakazam erected. He defended against the attack of Slowking pretty easily.

Then Slowking stopped his attacks and then floated above in the air and his defensive barrier was lowered. Alakazam didn't know why his opponent did something so foolish now and tried to end the threat that Slowking brings to the Tide.

He sent numerous sharp leaves, branches and trucks along with stones and large rocks at Slowking.

Slowking had his eyes closed and he was in euphoria from the powers he was sensing in himself and completely ignored the surrounding.

Just as these attacks reached a metre away from Slowking, he opened the eyes and a shockwave of psychic emerged from Slowking and heavy rain started to fall down from the sky.

The power surge in Slowking was sensed by every pseudo king or higher level Pokemon around the battlefield such as Alakazam, nidoking, Beedrill, electabuzz as well as the powerful Xatu. This stopped the confrontation for a moment.

Pidgeot who flew around sensed something big has happened but couldn't understand what it was.

Slowking is transforming into pseudo king while facing Alakazam.

How powerful does Slowking become after his transformation? Stay tuned…
