The next morning, I with zubat and beedrill went back to the clan. Beedrill was also a bit larger compared to it's normal size like zubat.

Normally, a beedrill has a size of 1 meter but my own beedrill has the size of 1.2 meters having the same size of zubat.

I mean this size of beedrill is also normal for our clan but it's normal for those beedrills that has an age of a year or so. Zubat though is not only 'not normal' but rather abnormal since it was just born for like 3 months now. Zubat and beedrill is huge for it's normal size but I ain't complaining. I mean if Ash has a large pidgeot in the anime then why can't I have one with a different pokemon.

This time when I returned, the guards was again surprised. This made me sure that the old hag will visit me again or maybe call me to visit her.

Either way, this will be a tiring thing to do or as the nara clan in Naruto says, it will be a drag. This time though, I'm sure I don't have to explain anything since I'm sure they'll think that I'm just born as a genius pokemon trainer.

Anyways, it was night time already by the time I returned to the clan. This time, I don't want any new pokemon to take care of. Mostly those nidorans since they need resources which aren't available here to develop it's potential.

I plan to focus on my two pokemon for now. I'll stay with these two until I finish the clan's trial, and then I'll consider getting my third pokemon.

That's my plan, and I wish the clan won't force me to get another pokemon but if they do then I don't have a choice but to accept it.

With that, I slept in my room with zubat and beedrill sleeping on the makeshift bed I made on the floor.

The next morning, a guy came to my room, and informed me that I'm being called by the old hag again.

I took a quick shower, and also cleaned my two pokemon. After that, I went to the house of the old hag. I knocked on the door, and a voice came out.

"Come in." It's the old hag's voice, and I entered inside.

"Good morning, elder!" I said while giving a bow. The old hag was sitting on a rocking chair, and she then signalled her hand to let me sit on a family coach in front of her.

"Thank you, elder." I said my thanks as I sit on the chair. Soon a girl came inside the room while serving two cups of tea, and cookies on the table between the old hag and me. The girl looks like a younger version of the old hag. I can guess that this girl is the granddaughter of the old hag. She has purple hair, and green eyes. She looks like at the age between 8 or 9.

"Thank you, Myne. You can go, and do the things you like. I'll have a short talk with this kid for short while." The old hag said.

The girl nodded with a cold expression, and left the room. I felt a bit cold while looking at her.

"Rem, don't eat or drink anything that Myne gave. Those have poisons inside that might be too much for your body to handle." I nodded while thinking how that little twerp tried to kill me with poison.

"Don't hate Myne by doing this. I'm sure she only has good intentions in doing this but I think she doesn't really have common sense with serving the guest right." The old hag continued, and I nodded but my pettiness won't stop me from taking my revenge on her.

"By the way, my name is Moi. You can just call me Grandma Moi. I'm tasked on promoting you into an advance member of the clan. You might be wondering why you're promoted too fast, right?" The old hag said.

"Yes, el- I mean grandma Moi." I replied.

"Well, it's because of your performance in growing your pokemon fast. The clan said that you have great potential, and the clan is willing to invest in you more." The old hag said.

"Thank you for the trust, grandma Moi. I won't disappoint the clan." I replied.

"Good, and now it's time for you to know our clan more deeply. The clan of ours is just a sub branch of the main clan. The main clan is the poison clan, and they are made up of 3 sub branches. One of the sub branches is our clan the Nicrodrill Clan. The other two are called the Arvilzing Clan, and the Temumoth Clan." The old hag explained.

She then continued, and explained that the Arvilzing clan is also like our clan which has three pokemon that they mainly use. They are the Arbok, Vileplume, and Weezing. While the Temumoth Clan has the pokemon Tentacruel, Muk, and Venomoth. While the main clan is raising all of these nine pokemon from all the sub branches.

I then learned that the trials being made in 9 months will be a joint trial with the three sub branches. Sadly, I can't escape this trial since it's a tradition of the clan. The old hag also informed me that when the survival trial finishes, there will be a follow up trial which consist of a death match with one of the trainers that survived the first trial.

This follow up trial is apparently a good way for us to get used into killing another human. It was a tradition, and even if only a few people survives after this trial, they gladly accept the results. The reason is because the children that survives are great soldiers to be used for the war.

They really see us only as a tool for war. I really want to know how the war started but I didn't ask the old hag since I know that I'm not allowed to ask any questions. I know this because the clan taught us to not question anything.

"Do you understand everything? Also, don't speak about this information I've given you to others, or else I might personally have to dispose you." The old hag warned.

"I promise to keep everything I heard in this room to my grave." I said while not really being sincere with what I said in my heart.

The old hag nodded with a satisfied smile.

"Good, also you can ask anything from the clan what you need or want but of course there are things we still can't provide for you. Take this too which is a personal gift from me. These are five toxic orbs, and mind you the clan won't be able to give you these things with your current rank." The old hag said while throwing a bag at me.
