A night with Shedinja 1

It was already evening. Today was also a hard-working day. The battle between the team gave Axel a clear picture. If they were to fight the Hoenn team right now, Axel was confident that they would lose. Wallace and Steven were no joke. He needed to concentrate on Piloswine more.

At first, he treated Piloswine with the same amount of time as his other Pokemons but now he decided to give it more time. He had a deadline and seeing the power of his team he needed to train hard.

But that was all from tomorrow. Axel had not given up his aura and body training. Every day he would meditate and then do his normal exercise. Axel made his bed and decided to call everyone except Shedinja as it never liked to get inside Pokeball. Surprisingly, today another Pokemon had joined its team and that was Gogoat.

Gogoat was the only Pokemon that never trained. It always slept, gave its milk, and healed other Pokemons if needed. It did its job but never more than that.

The system also never recognized it as Axel's Pokemon cause Gogoat was not caught by Axel and it never wanted to be under Axel. It just never protested Axel and continued to travel with Axel.

But this Pokemon today threw the Pokeball back at Axel. Axel was surprised by this development but didn't give it much thought. He was too tired to think anything right now and went to sleep.

Pokemon POV starts

After seeing that Axel was fast asleep, Shedinja was ready to train again. It went outside to train its moves. It was not going deep inside the forest for now. This was a new place and Axel had repeatedly told all of his Pokemons to not venture into the deep forest while focusing his gaze on Shedinja. He knew that Shedinja trained at night too although it never admitted it. Axel thought that it was too proud to admit its hard work.

Shedinja only trained its ghost/ shadow moves at night. It would hardly train ghost/shadow moves in the day cause ghost-type moves were more effective at night and would progress faster. As of right now, the moves it trained were:

1. Hypnosis

2. Dream eater

3. Shadow Sneak

4. Shadow ball

5. Shadow jump

Shedinja could feel that 'Hypnosis', 'Dream Eater', and 'Shadow sneak' were not progressing at all. It could feel that 'Shadow ball' and 'Shadow jump' were improving but not the former 3 moves. Moves like 'Dream eater' and 'Hypnosis' needed a target to achieve the result. But since Axel warned them to not go so deep into the forest, Shedinja only had 3 moves to train. So, Shedinja decided to train 'Gravity' and 'Ally switch' too. Axel had told it to concentrate on Psychic type moves as it would be huge in the future and it believed Axel.

Halfway through the training, Shedinja heard a noise from the bushes. All of its senses were alerted to the highest level. It was ready for the fight. Soon, it found out about the interpreter. It was Gogoat.

"What are you doing here?" asked Marcus.

"I thought to train myself a bit. I see your kids are improving at a rapid pace. I don't want to be left behind" said Gogoat.

Gogoat was a mount Pokemon. It had an impressive body with big horns.

"Why don't I train with you?" asked Gogoat.

"Suits me perfectly," said Marcus. It was in dire need of a training partner. So, it was very good for it.

Next morning,

[Ding! Shedinja's Hypnosis has leveled up to 29

Ding! Shedinja's Shadow Jump has leveled up to 16

Ding!…..

Ding!….

Ding!…..

Ding!… Shedinja's Sp. Def has been upgraded to B+

Ding!… Shedinja's Defense has been upgraded to B++]

"What the hell? How hard did it train last night?" shouted Axel. Axel got up to find Shedinja to see if it was alright. He found Shedinja just beside his bed. It had some scratches but it was fine. It was peacefully a sleep.

Sighing in relief, Axel did his morning chores and got ready to train. First, he wanted Piloswine to learn 'Endure' and 'Substitute' from Shedinja. But since Shedinja was still sleeping from yesterday's night training, he decided Nidorino to teach it 'Rest'.

Shedinja was ready to train in the early afternoon, so Axel instructed Piloswine to learn 'Endure' and 'Substitute' from Shedinja. 'Rest' was a Psychic type move and needed more time to learn than 'Endure' and 'Substitute'. Axel was right about it cause Piloswine learned 'Endure' in the evening.

The thing that Piloswine lacked the most was an experience. So, at the end of the day, he wanted Piloswine to fight one of the 3 rare ranked Pokemons. Today he chose Shedinja. He wanted Shedinja to focus on 'Endure' and 'Substitute' so Piloswine could learn much about them.

This was not massive progress for Piloswine but it was still some progress. He wanted to beat Steven and Wallace with his Piloswine so he knew it would be a hard road.

But…

'One bite at a time.'
