Journey in Mt. Moon

"Serena it's so good to see you," Ash said as the honey-blonde pulled away from the hug.

"You too Ash. It's been four years."

"It sure has. Serena I'd like for you to meet Misty. She's my traveling companion and an aspiring Water Pokémon Master."

"Hi I'm Serena Sycamore," she said as she extended her hand to the redhead.

"Hi I'm Misty Waterflower," Misty said as she took her hand.

"I'm guessing Braixen was your starter then."

"Yeah she was."

"What's that pokémon?" Misty asked.

"That's the fire type starter of the Kalos region," Ash responded.

"And I'm guessing Charmeleon was your starter."

Both fire types were currently involved in a conversation.

"I'm guessing Misty here would like a history check." Said girl nodded.

"I first met Serena when we were kids at Professor Oak's Summer Camp when we were four. Both of us, alongside Gary and Leaf were the best of friends, and we learnt about pokémon together. She also helped me practice my aura too before she and her mother left Kanto for Kalos to stay with their father, Professor Sycamore, the regional professor of Kalos."

"Knowing Ash to forget details, he has forgotten the fact that I told him that after I begin my journey, I'd first take on the Kanto Contest Circuit and I was actually on my way to Pallet Town when I met you guys."

"If you don't mind me asking. How many pokémon do you have Serena?"

"Of course I don't mind. Well I have Braixen, she said as she released four pokémon from pokéballs.

"These are Pancham, Charmander, Clefairy and Sandshrew," Serena said as she gestured to the released pokémon who waved at the humans. Serena's Charmander hurried over to Blaze upon seeing him.

"Say hello to my team," Ash said as he released six pokémon. "Say hello to Psyduck, Scyther, Volt, Butterfree, Beedrill and Tyrunt."

"Wow. Your pokémon all look amazing."

Said pokémon waved at her.

"How come you were able to get Kanto's fire starter? Misty asked.

"Well, my dad, Professor Sycamore gave her to me as a going away gift. He always told stories of how he always admired Professor Oak's Charizard."

They continued their chitchat for about twenty minutes before they felt a loud vibration set off throughout the Mountain.

"What was that?" Misty asked.

"I don't know but I don't like the feeling," Ash said as his eyes glowed blue, showing Aura sight.

'He must be trying to locate the source of the vibration' Serena thought to herself.

Ash ordered them to return their pokémon save Blaze and Braixen who were needed to guide the way as Ash led them through the cave network. After ten minutes, Ash stopped them.

"Whatever's making these vibrations is behind this wall."

"Can you see who?" Serena asked.

"No. My sights not strong enough to see even a little beyond such thick walls," Ash said as he deactivated Aura sight. "We'll need to burrow through. Blaze use metal claw."

The fire-type nodded as his claws took on a metallic sheen. He began cutting through the wall. It took Blaze roughly six minutes to create a hole large enough for them to fit through all the way to the end. By the time he had finished, they were met with a new challenge. They had to jump down to reach the floor.

"Scyther I need you,"Ash said as he released the dual bug and flying type. The flying type came out of his ball and turned to face Ash.

"Scyther I need you to carry Misty down there."

"But what about you Ash?" Scyther asked.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

The Mantis Pokémon nodded as he picked Misty up and flew her down.

Ash looked to his side to see Blaze jumping down and Braixen setting herself down with Psychic.

"So what about us?" Serena asked as she looked at the distance between them and the ground.

"Don't worry I've got it covered," Ash said, reassuring her.

"So are we going to g-" she started, but was cut short by Ash, who had picked her up bridal style.

"No more questions," Ash said as he jumped with her, his body glowing blue and coated with aura. Aura was very powerful and versatile. Using aura, a person could see the life energies of living beings and how strong they were. Though it took a lot of practice, over time one would able to reach those heights. Ash just displayed one of the many versatility of Aura. He reinforced his entire body, especially the legs, with aura. This gave him the energy to absorb the force and power if the impact easily.

"Are you okay?" Ash asked her as they landed.

"I'm fine," she replied with a small blush. "My Aura Knight."

"Now," Ash said as he activated Aura sight. What he saw was disturbing. Multiple pokémon were all kept in cages and injected with something he couldn't identify. All the pokémon had auras that were haywire and aggressive. He looked at one corner and saw a large drill been operated by one guy. 'Probably digging for fossils or rare stones,' he thought. He looked at the people doing this to the pokémon and internally scowled. They were Team Rocket. He couldn't contain himself so he shouted.

"Who do you think you are doing such things to pokémon?"

"Ash calm down. Those are Team Rocket grunts," Misty said.

"So what right does it give them," Ash responded.

"Hey you. Get out of here before we make you," one grunt said.

"I'd love to see you try,"Ash responded.

"Final warning. Leave," another grunt said.

"No!" Serena shouted.

"Your funeral," the Head Grunt said as he held up pokéballs. "Attack!"

All the Team Rocket grunts released multiple pokémon from their pokéballs. Rattata, Ekans, Grimer, Zubat, Golbat, Paras and Sandshrew.

"Let's split up and deal with these guys," Ash said as he called out the rest of his team.

Ash ran to one of the incoming horde of savage pokémon.

"Blaze flamethrower and dragon pulse. Scyther silver wind. Psyduck water gun. Butterfree confusion. Beedrill fury attack. Volt thundershock. Tyrunt rock polish and tackle."

Ash activated Aura sight as he watched the battle with detail. Blaze was having the time of his life blasting Rattata and Ekans with flamethrower and dragon pulse. Scyther was nailing multiple Paras with silver wind. Psyduck took the liberty of bathing the Sandshrew. Beedrill had a little bit of trouble, but Blaze assisted her. Butterfree was happy enough to blast the Golbat with confusion. Volt and Tyrunt had fun taking out the Zubat. In a matter of ten minutes, they had knocked out all the pokémon.

"Knock the grunts out. Tyrunt, you're with me," Ash said as he and Tyrunt ran to where the caged pokémon were. Misty and her Gyarados had taken care of the large drill.

"Tyrunt. When I open the cage, I want you to use roar and tackle the pokémon continuously until I can hold unto it. Use dragon dance to give yourself a breather between pokémon."

Tyrunt growled in agreement as Ash coated his hands with aura and smashed it against the lock on the smashed it again, breaking it. Tyrunt roared a deep growl as he tackled the Sandshrew long enough for Ash to hold it and pour aura into it's body, trying to suppress th rage build up. After the Sandshrew calmed down, Ash let it go and Tyrunt used dragon dance. They did this for sixteen more pokémon. One of which was a Cleffa.

While doing this little "exercise", Ash's pokémon had gained some experience. The others had incapacitated the grunts and Serena had called the police. Ash's pokédex beeped to alert Ash of some notifications.

"Tyrunt has learnt stomp and bide. Psyduck has learnt water pulse and disable, and has unlocked egg moves Cross chop, Future sight and Synchronoise. Scyther has learnt agility. Blaze has learnt flame burst. Volt has learnt swift and has unlocked egg move, Rolling kick. Butterfree has learnt psybeam and silver wind. Beedrill has learnt pursuit and focus energy."

Ash smiled. It didn't take long for the Police to arrive and the head of the squad walked up to Ash and his friends. It was an Officer Jenny.

"I must thank you for your assistance, but..."; she started and then snapped. "What if you had gotten face to face with a Rocket Admin?"

"I hope you didn't expect me to hang back and watch them get hurt."

"Anyways, just stay on the right path and make sure you know what you're doing," she said as she left with her squad, taking the Rockets and their pokémon.

Ash felt something nudge him. He looked down to see the Cleffa from earlier.

"Hey Cleffa," Ash said as he crouched down to her level. "Do you need help with something?" Ash asked.

Cleffa nodded, before replying, "I am lost. Can you help me find my way."

"Sure thing Cleffa," Ash said with a smile. "Hey guys. Cleffa here's lost and needs help getting home. What do you guys say?"

"I say let's do it," Misty said.

"I'm with you," Serena said.

"Um...Ash, what was that thing you did to calm down those pokémon."

"It was Aura wave. It's a technique in which the user pours his aura into the target, to try to suppress the negative aura. However, the user must be calm and have a stronger will than the target for this to work."

"Okay," Misty said.

"But it sure takes a toll...on you. I'm surprised I didn't feel...this as soon as I was...done."

"Are you going to be okay?" Serena asked.

"Yeah...return your pokémon except Braixen. Scyther...I'm going to need...you to support me while...I try Aura...sense."

"What's that?" Serena asked.

"It's basically a weaker version of Aura sight. I can use it to pick up faint traces of a pokémon's typing."

"My there are so many," Misty said.

"Yeah. This way."

Fifteen Minutes Later

"Here we are," Ash said as they arrived at the location. They saw about two dozen Cleffa, a dozen Clefairy and seven Clefable.

"Cleffa!" the Cleffa exclaimed as it ran to the others and began chatting. After some time a Clefable walked up to them. It was flanked on both sides by two other Clefable, and Ash assumed it to be the Head Clefable.

"We've just been told that you helped rescue one of our young ones and for that we're grateful," an elderly yet charming voice said.

"Umm... I just did what was right," Ash said.

"Even still. You went out of your way and have helped the Clefable community and have all earned these." As the Elder Clefable said this, the other two brought forth their hands, revealing three stones.

"Moon stones!" Misty exclaimed.

"Yes. But unlike the other moon stones, these ones are directly from our giant moon stone. Normal moon stones are formed from by the energy this one gives off every month, and are only good for a single evolution. These however" she said pointing towards the moon stones. "Last forever. They only need to be fuelled by the light from the moon. That's why Mt. Moon is opened at the top to the moon's light. But you can't fly over it thanks to psychic shields."

"Thank you so much," they all said.

"I also want to grant you all requests of your choosing."

"I have one," Ash said. "I would like to battle a Cleffa to make it part of my team. If it is willing to come."

"Hold on a bit." And the Elder Clefable walked away. The Elder Clefable soon came back with a Cleffa.

"The little one said she would like to come with you. She's about two weeks old."

"Alright. Let's do this Volt," Ash said as he released the Electric pokémon.

"Volt start off with tackle."

Volt ran towards Cleffa who was attacking with rollout.

"Meet her head-on with low kick."

As Volt approached Cleffa, he crouched low and extended his leg, kicking her and stopping rollout.

"Thundershock."

Volt sparked as he shot the electric attack at Cleffa who dodged the move before raising her hands, swaying them back and forth.

'Metronome,'Ash thought. "Volt. Guard up."

As metronome ended, a torrent of flames escaped Cleffa's mouth. The flames flew towards Volt, but he used it to fuel a fire punch while charging through the flames. As he neared Cleffa, he punched Cleffa right in the face and sending her flying.

"The result of a metronome is only as powerful as the actual metronome," Ash said. "Volt another fire punch."

Volt's hands became shrouded in fire as he ran at Cleffa who was coming with a rollout.

"Rolling kick."

The fighting move slammed into Cleffa and sent her sprawling on the ground.

"After her with karate chop andend it with swift."

Before Cleffa could recover, she was chopped and blasted with a barrage of stars, and she succumbed to unconsciousness. Ash threw a friend ball at Cleffa, catching her.

"You have won the battle. I hope you train Cleffa to the best of her abilities," the Elder Clefable.

"If it's okay with you Elder Clefable, I'd like to battle you,"Ash said.

The grin that spread across her face almost made Ash wish he didn't ask her for a battle.

"I accept."

"What battle format would you like?" She asked Ash.

"How about my entire team against you."

"Fine."

"Volt let's continue."

"You have the first move."

"Swift."

Volt reared his head back and fired the barrage of stars at Clefable who dodged before firing a water pulse at Volt.

"Dodge and rolling kick."

Volt turned towards Clefable and proceeded to attack, but was unable to as he was caught and smashed into the ground by a powerful hydro pump attack and was knocked out.

"Tyrunt, you're up. Use rock polish and dragon breath"

Tyrunt immediately clasped both hands together as he used rock polish. He gained a glow around his body before he shot a dragon breath at Clefable. She easily dodged the attack before blasting Tyrunt with water pulse and knocking him out.

"Butterfree you're up."

The Butterfly Pokemon flew in front of him and readied himself up for battle.

"Butterfree use gust."

Butterfree quickly flapped his wings, sending a gust of wind at Clefable. Clefable's hands sparked with yellow lighting as she tore through the gust attack. Her hand soon changed from lightning and became an icy blue. She was using ice punch. She punched Butterfree before Ash could react, freezing him and knocking him out.

"Beedrill, rapid fire poison sting."

Beedrill's stingers took on a purple glow as she began trying to hit Clefable. Clefable skillfully dodged all strikes before punching Beedrill with blazing fists. The attack carried Beedrill into a boulder and she was knocked out.

Ash silently recalled Beedrill and looked at Clefable. His opponent was fast and executed her attacks accurately. Her use of metronome was outstanding. He knew his next choice.

"Scyther agility into metal claw."

Scyther quickly took on a battle stance in front of Ash before he relaxed his body and began heightening his speed. His scythes also began to take on a metallic sheen.

Clefable just stood silently, watching Scyther. After deciding that his speed was enough, Scyther charged Clefable. As he neared her, he slashed but she ducked under the attack. Ash watched in horror as Scyther was uppercutted with a fire punch. Before Scyther could be sent flying by the brunt of the attack, the Elder Clefable grabbed his leg and slammed him to the ground. Her hands sparked with yellow lightning as she punched Scyther, sending him further into the ground.

"That was brutal," Misty said.

"Yeah, but a battle's a battle," Serena said.

"But..." Misty started but was cut short by Ash.

"Serena's right. A battle is a battle,"Ash said as he recalled Scyther's falling body.

"Psyduck let's do this."

The Duck Pokémon quickly made his way over as he quacked.

"Psyduck water gun."

Psyduck quacked as he released a small stream of water from his mouth at Clefable. The Fairy Pokémon dodged it and began using metronome which turned out to be confusion.

"Evade and Disable."

Psyduck quickly dodged confusion before using disable. Immediately, Clefable felt the psychic block on the part of her mind concerned with using metronome.

Disable in it's true sense was a psychic-type move that involved applying a psychic block to a part of the Target's mind, preventing them from using the move executed prior to disable. The power of disable solely depended on the user's will against the target. The more powerful the attack, the longer the psychic block.

Clefable's hand soon sparked with yellow lightning as she ran at Psyduck.

"Psyduck future sight and hypnosis."

Unfortunately for Ash, hypnosis hit Clefable the same time her thunder punch collided with Psyduck's gut and sent him flying into a boulder. Psyduck's succumbed to unconsciousness from the impact with the boulder.

Clefable was fast asleep on the ground, under the effects of Psyduck's hypnosis. The thing with hypnosis was that it was dependent on the user's psychic influence over the mind of the target, ultimately convincing the target's mind that it needs rest. Psyduck was knocked out, so his psychic influence was no longer there. It was all a matter of when Clefable's mind agreed to wake up. Ash knew he had to capitalize on it.

"Blaze metal claw back-to-back."

The fire-type ran at Clefable's sleeping body with claws glowing a metallic sheen. As he reached her, he began slashing at her, earning little shifts in her body. After some slashes, Clefable woke up. Blaze was able to get in one last metal claw before she fully rose to her feet.

Clefable felt the psychic block over metronome disappear and she grinned widely. She soon started moving her hands back and forth as she used the attack. It turned out to be a fire blast but before she could launch, she was hit by Psyduck's future sight attack and was knocked off balance for a little while.

Future sight was a powerful psychic move. It was basically a concentrated mass of psychic energy sent into the future, to hit a target in a time interval. Experienced psychic-types could control the time interval between launching and striking. Ash took advantage of the moment to command Blaze.

"Sunny day and flamethrower."

Blaze growled as he shot an orange ball of concentrated fire energy. As the ball climbed a bit into the air, it just stayed in place, glowing brightly and influencing the power of fire moves. He reared his head back and shot a torrent of flames at Clefable, hitting her and pushing her back.

She was able to recover and soon started using metronome. Ash was quick to act.

"Blaze flare blitz," Ash barked.

Blaze crouched slightly as he became shrouded in orange-red flames as he charges Clefable who was about to launch her metronome attack.

Metronome was basically a gamble move. It could become any move in the attackdex, excluding signature moves. The move it turned out to be could either benefit the user or the target. Right now the move turned out to be Head Smash. Both Clefable and Blaze charged each other and as they clashed, there was an explosion. Both Clefable and Blaze were thrown back by the collision,with Blaze suffering more thanks to the recoil damage from Flare blitz, the reduced HP thanks to his Solar power ability, and coupled with the fact that Head Smash was superior in terms of power and type. Clefable had also taken recoil damage from Head smash but she still had strength in her.

"I lost," Ash said silently.

"Well done...young one. You almost had me there for a minute. You...have shown me that I...still have a lot to learn in here," the Elder Clefable said.

"You just took out all my pokémon," Ash said.

"But the strategies you had in mind were amazing especially with the last two... pokémon. I also noticed the power gap between those two and the rest, 'cause the others were pretty weak."

"Thank you for the battle. I'm still working on the others."

"You're welcome young one. Feel free to come visit us anytime."

After giving all his pokémon restores, Ash, Misty and Serena left the Moon Stone Sanctuary.

"Well Ash, you did well against Clefable," Serena said.

"Yeah Ash. Congrats," Misty said.

"Thanks you guys," Ash responded. "I think we should camp here for the night. According to my Xtransceiver, it's 7pm."

"Yeah you're right Ash," Serena said.

"Then what are we waiting for. Let's set up camp," Misty said.

After setting up camp, Ash released his pokémon.

""Volt, Tyrunt, Butterfree, Beedril, Scytherl. I feel like I've been neglecting you guys. I want you guys to forgive me. This is what I want you to do. Blaze I want you to be lookout while the others fight any pokémon that comes this way."

He heard various grunts of affirmation from his team as he went inside his tent to sleep.

Next Morning

Ash woke up to see Blaze pulsing with aura. He saw the rest of his team members including Cleffa.

"Hey Blaze," Ash called out.

"Yes Ash," Blaze responded.

"Did you guys do battle during the night?"

"Yes. Some Geodude, Rattata, Parasect, Zubat and Sandshrew."

"Wow. And how did it go?"

"They fought well. Though I had to assist in some."

"Alright then. Anything else?"

"Psyduck's found a metal coat and Scyther found a mega stone."

As he said this, both pokémon brought the items to Ash. Ash looked at the metal coat before turning to Scyther.

"Scyther, after this gym battle. What'd you say to evolving."

"I'm ever ready Ash," Scyther responded.

Ash smiled at the bug-type before turning to the mega stone. As he looked at the small stone in his hands. It was a real breakthrough. No mega stone had been found in Kanto. The only recorded sightings of mega stones where in the Kalos region and in Hoenn, and even there it was still rare. Mega stones we're stones that carried evolutionary power. The stones together with a similar stones, called a key stone can link the heart of a trainer to that of his pokémon, and with that power of the bond, the pokémon can further evolve into a form known as a Mega form. It was termed Mega evolution and it was discovered by Professor Sycamore of the Kalos region. Mega evolutions were extremely powerful, due to the fact that it opened up a pokémon's primal instincts, boosting the pokémon's power to that of a near-legendary. In the hands of pseudo legends, mega evolution was extremely powerful and dangerous. If not controlled, the pokémon may kill the trainer.

Ash looked at the stone in his hands. The stone he was holding was one of the mega evolution stones of his beloved starter, Blaze. The Charizard-line were considered to be pseudo legends. A well trained Charizard could pretty much take on a Dragonite. Charizard's had two mega stones. The Charizardite-Y stone further boosted the fire/flying attributes of the powerful pokémon, boosting it's speed and fire power and also giving it a little boost in draconic traits. The Charizardite-X turned the dual fire and flying type into Mega Charizard-X. Mega Charizard-X was a full blown fire and dragon dual type, trading it's natural affinity over the flying type for the powerful dragon typing. As Mega Charizard-X, their resistance to fire attacks was next to zero. While not possessing the huge fire power of Mega Charizard-Y, Mega Charizard-X was a force to be reckoned with.

Ash had just found his first mega stone and it was Charizardite-Y. He hoped that in the future he would be able to alternate between mega forms like his father. He was soon snapped out of his thought by Serena.

"Ash let's get moving."

"Oh right."

They cleared the campsite and continued towards Cerulean City. It didn't take them long to reach the exit to Mt. Moon where they stopped at a clearing.

"Is it okay if we stop here?" Ash asked. "I want to get a little training done."

"Of course. I also need to train for the Cerulean Contest," Serena said

"Yeah me too," Misty said.

Ash moved to a separate part of the clearing and released all his pokémon.

"Okay guys. I want you to engage each other in combat. No moves allowed. Do whatever you can to bring your opponent to he ground."

"Ash what's that?" Cleffa asked.

Ash looked up, following Cleffa's hand. He saw the silhouette of a winged pokémon coming towards them. As it got closer, it was revealed to be Charizard, and a huge one at that. Ash looked closer and noticed that there was someone on it's back. As the Charizard landed, the person jumped off. From what he wore, Ash couldn't make out a description. The person was wearing a black cloak that covered all his body. Ash looked and noticed that the person had thick jet black and chocolate brown eyes. Ash knew of only one person that hair as thick as his.

"Dad!" he said as he hugged the man, getting the attention of Serena and Misty who came over.

"Hello Mr. Ketchum," Serena said with a smile on her face.

"Hello to you too Serena," Red said as he pulled out of the huge with Ash. His eyes landed on Misty.

"A friend of yours?" He asked.

"Yes Dad. This is Misty Waterflower. Misty, this is my Dad, Red Satoshi Ketchum."

"Good morning sir...Wait! Did you say Red, as in Pokémon Master Red!" Misty exclaimed. "It's such an honour sir."

"The pleasure is all mine."

"So Dad, how did you find me?"

"Through Aura Mapping. How did your battle with the Elder Clefable go."

"I lost...Wait, how'd you know that?"

"Simple. She told me. Who do you think watches over the Mt. Moon Sanctuary. It is my duty as Pokémon Master. And besides, the Elder Clefable is my Clefable's daughter."

"No way," Serena said.

They heard a light growl and turned to see Blaze talking to the Elder Charizard. Ash could see the difference between them clearly. Blaze was fresh of scars while the Elder Charizard was full of them. Their height difference was also there. Blaze was almost four feet, while his father's Charizard was over nine feet in height. That's four feet taller than the average Charizard.

"Don't worry Ash, you'll get there...in time," Red said. "Now even as I came to talk, I also want to give you some tips. I'm sure you know about type effectiveness."

Ash nodded. Type effectiveness was simply the advantages and disadvantages all the various type attributes had over themselves. Various Pokémon Professors have over the years worked on the type effectiveness but many errors have been made like they have been made in pokémon classification, like how Delibird was considered an ice and flying type but was later discovered to be a pure ice type. However the errors have been corrected and an acceptable type effectiveness chart was drawn.

The Normal type had only one weakness, and that was the fighting type. Apart from that, any other damage they took was a normal damage. Any other damage they dealt was also a normal damage with the exception of the Ghost typing which are immune to the normal typing.

Next was the Fighting type or Battle energy. They had an advantage over normal, rock, bug, ice, dark and steel types. They were weak against psychic, fairy, electric, flying and poison types. Ghost types were also immune to Fighting types. Every other typing was normal and vice-versa.

Next was the Flying type or Sky energy. Holding an advantage over fighting, grass and bug types. They were weak against electric, ice, rock and steel types. They resisted ground types and every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Then came the Bug type or Insect energy. They had an advantage over grass, dark, psychic and other bug types. They were weak against electric, fire, rock, bug, ice and steel types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

The Grass type or Plant energy came next. They held an advantage to rock and ground types. They were weak against flying, fire, ice, bug, and poison type. They resisted fighting, water and grass types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

They were resisted by electric and they resisted fighting types. They were immune to poison types and had no effect on steel types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Next came the Rock type or Mineral energy. They had an advantage over fire, flying and bug types. They were weak against fighting, water, grass, ice, ground, dragon, and steel types. They resisted rock and normal types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Ground types or Earth energy. They had the advantage over electric, fire, poison and rock types. They were weak against water, grass and ice types. They were resisted by flying types and every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Steel types or the Ironic energy. They had the advantage over bug, rock, flying, ice and fairy types. They were weak against electric, fighting, fire, dragon and ghost types. They were immune to poison types and resisted steel types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Ice types or Snow energy. They had an advantage over rock, ground, poison, grass, flying, dragon and bug types. They were weak against electric, fire, fighting, steel, fairy and dark types. They resisted ice and water types and every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

The Fire type or Flame energy was next. They held an advantage over ice, grass, steel, and bug types. They were weak against water, rock, ground and electric types. They resisted other fire types and every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Next came the Water typing or Wave energy. They had an advantage over fire, rock and ground types. They were weak against electric and poison types. They resisted grass, water, ice and steel types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Next was the Electric type or Lightning energy. They held an advantage over water, flying, bug, steel, ice and fire types. They were weak against ground types. They resisted water, flying, fire, electric and poison types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Following suit was the Psychic type or the Mental energy. They held an advantage over fighting and poison types. They were weak against bug, ghost and dark types. They resisted fighting and psychic types and had no effect on dark types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Next was the Ghost type or Otherworldly energy. They had an advantage over ghost, psychic and steel types. They were weak against ghost and dark types. They were immune to normal and fighting types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Then the Dark type or Chaos energy. They had an advantage over psychic, ghost and ice types. They were weak against bug and fighting types. They were immune to psychic types and resisted dark types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Next was the Fairy type or Peace energy. They had an advantage over fighting, dragon and ice types. They were weak against poison and steel types. They were immune to dragon types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.

Lastly, the Dragon type or Draconic energy. Arguably the most powerful type system. They had the advantage over dragon, poison, rock and steel types. They were weak against dragon, fairy and ice types. They resisted fire, grass, steel, rock, water and bug types. Every other type was normal damage and vice-versa.
