New Partner and Evolution

Now we find our hero once again in the wilderness with his Butterfree on his head and using it's psychic energy to float the leaves in a pattern. This is the exercise he devised for his control of Psychic power. As he was moving he still fought at least five trainers till now. He mostly used only Pidgey as it too was nearing it's evolution. And would probably evolve by the time he reached Pewter city.

As he was heading he also thought of the talk with the stranger. and how he knew Professor Oak. Now though many may not know but Professor Oak was also a Champion of Kanto once though he quit so he could completely dedicate to his passion for research. Also it is said that he was undefeated in the same generation. Hence due to his presence Kanto stood at the top of all the other regions.

' Well I will know more when I reach there. So just let it go.' He has also searched about the path and found that there has been many cases of missing on the path from Pewter to Viridian City. This aroused his attention. At this time Team Rocket is yet a small organization only spanning a few cities at most and the chief criminal organization is Shadows. They are very Mysterious to say the least. The only information about them is that they have initiated a few Pokemon riot in some towns and even ravaged a few towns though it happened only in Johto. Kanto is mainly peaceful from them though from how long who knows.

They then stopped for eating in the afternoon. He said," Now there are some troubles brewing around Pewter so for this I thought of a way. You Haunter hide in my shadow and until we reach pallet town you would be out there. This will be our Trump card in case we face some trouble. I will tie your pokeball on my neck as souvenir so they won't suspect anything. you will at the same time practice ghost energy control now. So you could turn the surrounding cold and eerie for your advantage. And you Charmander start mixing bit of dragon power in your fire attack and claw attack. It will help later to learn dragon claw and dragon pulse. so you will have to endure as I heard dragon energy is difficult to control. Can you do that"

" Chaarr..."

"Haunn"

Also Haunter raised a thumb towards itself saying as long as I am there nothing will go wrong.

"Butterfree you should also start working on sleep powder, poison powder and stun power they will help later and also I think of a way to make them m ore effective. But before that you should learn to properly use them separately and you can't slake down on your psychic practice. "

" Frrreeee" while nodding it's head.

"And you Pidgey you will be learning steel wing and Arial ace before the pewter city. Only after learning these moves will be head out from here So you are going to be most busy if all."

Pidgey was a fighter before he joined and getting chance of learning new moves excited it and it excitedly chirped," piii.."

As he was talking to them a Pokemon swinub came smelling the food' s scent. Swinub is covered in dense, brown, striped hair to keep it warm. The hair is so shaggy that it often covers its tuft-like small legs, making it appear like a legless lump. Swinub's eyes appear as if they are perpetually closed. Swinub uses its pink, pig-like nose to dig through mud and snow, looking for anything edible.

Seeing it Alex immediately ordered Butterfree to bind it by psychic and then slam it on the ground then use absorb to defeat it. Not giving it a chance he threw a pokeball.

After rolling thrice he was captured. Then he released it after asking his pokemon to be vigilant he released it and said," Here you go eat all you want. Don't be shy."

After feeding his Pokemon and then eating he asked ," Swinub what are you doing here? Here is not a place where you could survive."

When it replied he couldn't understand a thing but Haunter simplified that he was caught by poachers but he fled and then he was here. He also said he had been running for at least three days and fed on any food it found before Alex caught it.

" Well guys get started in your practice. I will oversee Swinub."

So Swinub what moves do you know.

Tackle

Powder snow

ice shard

Magnitude

Avalanche

Icy wind

Mud bomb

Seeing this he believes it to be a fairly powerful Swinub. This also made it appealing to the poachers too. This time he thought well. He gave it a glass of water in front " Swinub now what you have to do is freeze the water using ice power without any moves. This will help you better control your moves. Now we are travelling so we can't focus much but whenever we stop we will work on your ground moves. Ok."

So they all got started their trainings. Also swinub fell in love with Alex cooking. Eating more than all the others combined. Alex was lucky to pack food for a month. Though thinking about how he might not be able to afford the expenses long, he thought of attacking the Beedrill colony and loot their honey. Their honey is quite pricy so it will do him good as well as capture some Beedrill for selling.

So the next day he attacked a colony using Butterfree sleep powder and caught about 15 Beedrill he left the remaining five to raise the Weedle and kakuna. Their attack attracted the attention of queen Beedrill ( The leader of the Beedrill colony). It was very strong and took both Pidgey and Butterfree to equalise while Charmander and him stole the honey. And this was enough pressure for Pidgey to evolve into Pidgeotto.

After evolving Pidgeotto immediately became proficient in Steel wing and aerial ace as it's body strength improved. And defeated it with Aerial ace. Now that their task was over he decided to head to Pewter city.

As for what await our hero in the city let's await.
