Chapter 7 A little journey Part 1

It's been two months now since Noibat joined Soul's team. A lot more months, before he can begin his journey as a trainer.

Today was a resting day for him and his Pokemon since he wanted to celebrate how far they've come since he founded them.

Anubis level went from one to twenty-five. It might not seem much for how much time they had to train, but they didn't have much experience with fighting against other Pokemons, thus preventing them to make a breakthrough and evolve except for Noibat.

At least both of them now have a good foundation over their abilities and themselves. Anubis begins the type, who is a master of close-combat and able to hide in shadows. Along with being a poison type, make him a deadly ȧssassin Pokemon.

Soul also taught Anubis some moves to help him become stronger. He also taught him about martial arts and help him with his aura to form it into a knife, as it would not require too much aura and energy to create one.

As for Noibat, its level went from three to twenty-two. It specializes in air combat and able to move swiftly along with the wind as if it was one with it. But that was not the only thing where it shines in, it's speed is already faster than Anubis and since with its ability calls 'Infiltrator,' it would strike through its opponent, even if they had a defense move.

So Soul trained it mostly on its speed, evasion, attack, and special attack. He, of course, didn't forget about the endurance training for it, as he didn't want Noibat to get one hit by his opponent Pokemon, or have a low endurance against its opponent.

Right now, they were all relaxing in their way, Soul was studying and planned his future, Anubis was trying to form his aura into a knife, he could only create a shape for now like a ball, cube, etc. Noibat was next to Soul, looking at what he was doing.

Suddenly the main house door was opened and two people burst into his house, whom he recognized as Prof. Oak and his mother. He was confused by their sudden visits, as it was a free day for everyone in the town. Before he could ask, his mom interrupted him by a few seconds.

Mmovuz: Smpi! Lmmc fo oval! Tvuzu jaii gu f ompzrfquro vuit gw f Pmcuqmr lhvmmi, himlu om mpz omjr!

Soul: So?

Mother: Means… haven't you see the reward? The winner of this tournament would get, full camping set for one to two persons, ten Pokeball, ten Potion and twenty-five thousand Poke dollars!

This made Soul more interested in what his mom was talking about. Even though she didn't have to yells it at his face!

Soul: What's the tournament about?

This time it was the professor's turn to speak.

Oak: It's a Pokemon tournament for those who almost graduated the Pokemon school and for those who already have a Pokemon and would soon start their Journey.

Soul: Is it gonna be one vs one or two vs two? By that, I mean about the Pokemon, of course.

Oak: Just one vs one, no teaming up with the others.

Soul: When will it start?

Oak: One week from now on .The ride would take around three days . So would like to join

Soul: Why do I feel like there's more than what supposed to be, professor?

Soul asked him with a deadly smile, which made him feel a shiver on his back for a second.

Oak: W-Well, I guess you could say that there's an old rival of mine who I want to put in his place.

Soul: Why don't you just do it yourself? I'm too young to fight an elder.

This earned an irritated sound from the professor as he sighed and calm himself down.

Oak: It's not that you need to fight him, just his disciple that he is so 'proud' of. He would always brag about how smart and talented his disciple is and he would show no sign of stopping doing it. So I want you to win the tournament, if not better, beat the hell out of his disciple if you both are going to fight each other.

Soul: Okkk… I'm joining, but I'm only doing this for the prize and also why are so hype about this, mom?

Mother: It's a secret~ anyways, I'm going to start packing up.

Oak: Me too, both of you meet me at my lab, as I will drive us there.

Soul nodded as the professor walked out of their house, his mom immediately begins to pack up all the necessary, they needed for the journey. Soul just stored all the items he wants to bring with him in his inventory, except for a few so that they wouldn't mistake something was off.

Anubis was in his shadow as Noibat was on his shoulder. He wore now a black t-shirt and black pants. He also wears some running shoes and a pair of sunglass to when they would be driving.

He's also just choosing a normal bag that could hold a decent amount of stuff, that he bought with him, well… what he didn't store in his inventory, of course.

Finally getting ready after three hours, they met up with the professor outside of his lab with his car and a bag filled with what he had packed with him.

Oak: We should drive soon, the nearest inn should take around an hour to make it there. It's almost noon after all and I haven't had an afternoon dinner yet, haha…

Soul: Don't worry, my mom had bought a few snacks you can eat while we're driving, but then it would be my mom who's going to drive while you're eating. Also what about the Pokemons on the garden, professor?

Oak: Don't worry, Soul. I have already arranged for someone to take care of them while we're gone.

Soul: Ok then we should not have any problem when we've come back.

Then they all got in the car, as Professor Oak started the engine as they all drove off to the nearest inn.
