Shadow Domain and Flappy

'Shadow Domain' was an interesting move. Axel didn't know where the black mist comes from, but Shedinja said that it would feel very weak after using it. That was why Axel had not told it to use it till now.

However, using it now was ideal. There were only 4 pseudo-king rank Pokemon left. He was confident that Nidorino, Charizard, and Mamoswine would be able to deal with them. So, he wanted Shedinja to finish these elemental rank Pokemons as fast as it could. The move 'Shadow Domain' would let it do 3 things:

1. It would be much faster inside the domain.

2. Its ghost type attacks would be boosted by 50%- 100% depending on how much it wanted to power up. If it boosted the power by 100%, then the time of 'Shadow domain' would decrease drastically.

3. It could stop the opponents' attacks in mid-air. Again, the time of 'Shadow Domain' would decrease depending on the power of the attack and the time it stopped the attack in mid-air.

These were powerful abilities. But there was a problem: time. If Shedinja used the full power of 'Shadow Domain', it could only use it for 10 seconds.

"Marcus, use 'Shadow control', and spam 'Shadow Domain' on all of them. Use your full power. I want to finish it fast," shouted Axel.

Black tentacles of shadow came from the ground and bound all 5 of them. Shedinja then used 'Shadow ball' on all of them.

BOOOMMMM

The power of 'Shadow ball' was massively boosted. Axel could have told it to use other attack moves, but the fact remained that only ghost type attacks would be boosted inside 'Shadow domain'. Other type attacks would not have risen in power like 'Shadow ball'. Shedinja used 2 'Shadow balls' on each of them, and then the time of 'Shadow Domain' was over.

Ding!

Shadow Domain has leveled up to 14

"Gyarados, use 'Hydro pump' and finish them off."

3 of the 5 had already died from 'Shadow ball', and 2 of them were in their death beds. The power of the level 47 'Shadow ball' inside 'Shadow Domain' was huge. It was twice the size of a normal 'Shadow ball' and it was spinning very fast, generating even more power.

'Hydro pump' hit both of them, and both of them were blasted to the fence. The power of the attack was so brutal that their skin tore from the force. Axel could see blood and parts of their muscles coming out. Both of them had died instantly.

If Axel had not been a part of the tide 3 months ago, he would not have been able to take it. He would have vomited his guts out. The scene was very brutal.

"Marcus, come inside the Master ball and take rest," said Axel.

If it was hurt, Axel would have used potions, but it had just exhausted its stamina. It would heal much faster inside the ball.

"Gyarados, go back to helping Tauros and Absol," said Axel. He now had to focus on the fight of pseudo-king rank.

###

Flappy, the Pidgeotto, was fighting 3 Darumaka, the pre-evolved form of Darmanitans. Since this was the first time it was fighting against multiple Pokemons for its life, Axel was paying close attention to it. It had not been easy, but it was rather hard before to concentrate on multiple battles at once.

At his time, he was also looking at the battle of Shedinja and Gyarados and also paying attention to Absol and Tauros. Nidorino, Charizard, and Mamoswine were experienced enough not to get killed or hurt so fast. So, it was a hard thing to do. He had learned this during the time of the tide.

During that time, Axel had to focus on multiple battles at once and give commands. He had still not perfected the craft, but it was getting better and better.

"Flappy, you are fighting against 3 of them. So don't directly use your best attack. Try to test the water first. First use 'Aerial ace' and 'Work up' 2 times and try to dodge their attacks. Even if you are hit, it is okay. You can take a couple of hits."

Flappy did exactly that. Even though it didn't always follow Axel's command to the letter, it knew that this was a serious battle and it could lose its life. After dodging and using 'Agility' and 'Work up', it figured out about its opponents.

One of them was a pure physical attacker. One of them was a pure special attacker. And the last one was a combination of both. Except for attacks like 'Headbutt', 'Bite', and 'Tackle', all of their moves were fire types. Suddenly, heavy rain started to fall.

This was Gyarados using 'Rain dance'. The pseudo king rank Pokemons were fighting far from them, so Mamoswine's 'Hail' and 'Rain dance' didn't cover the battle of common, uncommon, and rare ranks fight.

"Flappy, first focus on the physical attacker. Use 'Whirlwind' on all of them."

The physical attacker Darumaka would be a problem for Pidgeotto. Most of its attacks were also physical type except for 'Air slash', so it would be in close proximity when using its attack. 'Whirlwind' gave a good result as all 3 of them were separated now. With the mix of heavy rainfall, it was very difficult for a fire type Pokemon to fight at its full power.

"Now, use 'Parabolic charge'," shouted Axel.

Its whole body was now covered with a yellow electric aura, and it rushed towards Darumaka. Darumaka was hit and magically, it was also paralyzed. It may have been due to the heavy rainfall or just luck, but the battle immediately turned into Pidgeotto's favor.

"Finish it up with 'Aerial ace'."

"Piiiii…."

Pidgeotto flew high in the air and suddenly changed directions to the ground and attacked Darumaka with a devastating attack. The attack hit too. Due to the heavy rainfall and being paralyzed, Darumaka had no way to dodge the attack.

It flew quite a distance from the attack and didn't stand up. Now, only 2 were left. The effect of 'Whirlwind' had still not finished. Its power was boosted due to rainfall, and it had created a small tornado and trapped those 2 Darumaka.

"Flappy, use another 'Parabolic charge' and then 'Aerial ace'."

This time, it targeted the special attacker, and like Axel had predicted, it had fallen too. This was too easy.

Ding!

Parabolic charge has leveled up to 32.

Ding!

Agility has leveled up to 23.

These Darmuaka had not been properly trained. They were just wild common rank Pokemons. They didn't have their trainer. If they were of higher ranks and decades of experience, then the battle would have been different.

Wild Pokemons take longer to evolve and rank up. Since they take so much time to rank up and evolve, they gather a lot of experience and a pseudo-king rank or elemental rank wild Pokemon may be more powerful than trained ones.

That was why Axel told Shedinja to finish the fight as fast as it could. Axel didn't want to risk it.

"Flappy, do it again and finish the battle."

Pidgeotto charged again with 'Parabolic charge' but this time the attack missed.

This Darumaka knew 'Dig'. Fearing its life, it dug the ground and went inside. This alerted Axel.

"Flappy fly high in the air and use 'Air slash' when you see it again."

Even though it had trained in 'Dig', it didn't seem to have mastered it well. Just after few seconds it came out of another hole.

"Pi….." shouted Pidgeotto and used 'Air slash'

Blades of air came when it flapped its wings. Pidgeotto send 2 'Air slash', each from one of its wings.

Darumaka dodged the first one but was hit by the second one. It had just come out of the ground so it had no idea on the position of Pidgeotto.

It didn't seem to have mastered 'Dig' well.

Pidgeotto, then used 'Wing attack', this time and went straight to Darumaka. This time, it already knew its fate. It knew that it was going to die.

It was also confused. Why were these Pokemons attacking its tribe? They had done nothing wrong. Even though it was going to die, it was going to take this Pokemon with it to hell.

When Pidgeotto came near it, it didn't dodge the attack. Pidgeotto was very fast and with 'Agility', Darumaka knew that it stood no chance to dodge it.

So, it didn't dodge the attack. It held its ground and used 'Hammer arm'. The attack landed on Pidgeotto left wing.

BANGGGG…

'Wing attack' also connected but Pidgeotto was also hit by the attack.

"Piiiii…..", it cried in pain.

Axel looked towards the opponent and saw that Darumaka was not standing up. Axel used his 'Aura sense' and felt that it was not breathing.

Axel ran towards Pidgeotto and tried to access the damage. Its left wing looked broken and it was crying in pain.

This was expected. The final attack of Darumaka was powerful. If Pidgeotto had not coated its wings with 'Wing attack', then the damage would have been much more higher.

Axel immediately used a 'Hyper potion' on its wings to heal it. He also told it to use 'Roost' to heal itself.

Even though Pidgeotto had high attack and speed, it didn't have good defense.

Even after using a 'Hyper potion', its broken bones were not healed instantly. That would take some time. Axel gave it a sleeping pill and called it inside the ball.

After its fight, Axel could tell what he need to improve Pidgeotto.

It had good attack power and high speed but most of its attack was physical based. It also needed some special type attack. The most important thing to do right now was to increase its defense.

Even though Pidgeotto learned other special type attacks in the future, he knew that its specialty was a physical moves. So, it needed to have good defense.

After concluding elemental rank and common rank fight, he looked towards rare and uncommon rank fights.
