Pokemon - A real story-Chapter 818: Cynthia and the Two 1

"Cynthia, this looks like the bones of my species.", said Garchomp.

"Are you sure about it?", asked Cynthia.

"Definitely."

"Hmm, then let's take those bones and make a sword out of them. You will train in these swords from now on."

Garchomp felt a bit awkward to use the bones of its ancestors and didn't know what to do about it.

"Garchomp, do you not want to become stronger?"

"I want to. I will do it.", said Garchomp with determination. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

They had come a bit deeper than before. Before, they were only hovering around 10 miles from the entrance, and now they had gone deeper to 50 miles.

The concentration of dragon energy was higher than before and this was the ideal place for them to train.

"We will spend another month here and you need to get used to the energy out here. Salamence, you will train in that shield and also in your special moves.

You also need to get faster. You speed is hindering you a lot. Remember, you are my tide battle specialist from now on.", said Cynthia with a smile.

It had been a month and now Cynthia was confident that some unknown power was helping her and her Pokemons to get stronger. She could feel that she was very close to reaching elemental rank now and the progress of her Pokemons were just wild.

She knew that something was happening in the world and now she had to focus on tide battles in the future. Unlike Axel, her Salamence was purely focused on special attack moves.

Since Garchomp was a physical attacker, she wanted Salamence to be the special attacker and it was also very talented in this area.

Garchomp was now using 'Thrones way' to extend all those thrones on its body and concentrating more on the left side to maintain balance. It also used more energy on the left side to maintain that balance.

"You will use the sword on your left hand, attach it with dragon energy, and then train it. This further maintains your balance and when you master it, you don't need to use the sword.

Now, you will be training in your existing moves but I feel that you lack some firepower. You saw the power of that Charizard, right? How did it become quickly powerful for a short period of time? I think we should focus on that."

Garchomp was a great control champion as it had many moves like 'Substitute', 'Tail speed', 'Dragon bubble', 'Menace', and 'Thrones way' to control the battlefield also it's opponent.

Of course, it was also very strong as its physical powers were very high but after fighting with Charizard, Cynthia came to realize that its firepower was quite lacking.

If it were to fight with someone with a higher rank, it would lose the battle. Dragon-type Pokemons were very hard to train and they progressed very slowly but they were normally very strong compared to the Pokemon of the same rank.

It gets very hard for a Pokemon to fight a higher rank Pokemon when they reach king rank cause each tier and each rank higher than king rank was a very big milestone. Cynthia wanted to break that norm with Garchomp. She knew that it had the potential to do so.

Even though the battle with Charizard was very short when it used 'Transform', Cynthia had already analyzed that move and she knew how to make Garchomp stronger.

"First of all, you need to have a very strong body that could hold more power. You will be learning how to efficiently use more dragon energy here, so that is not a problem but you need to have a strong body to hold more dragon energy.

After that, we will have to do something so that you can hold more power inside yourself and use it in the time of need. This will be the direction that we will be going when you reach pseudo-champion rank.

'Explosive force'"

Just like other types, dragon-type Pokemons also had many directions in which they could specialize their power and 'Explosive force' was only of the simplest and also one of the move hardest direction to pursue.

The user/Pokemon would have to hold more dragon-type energy, inside its body so that it could use it at the time of need. This was like a berserk type move and it was extremely powerful. That was why it was very hard.

In the history of this world, it was said that there was only one Pokemon that could master this direction. This spoke volumes about how hard it really was.

"You will also need a good healing type move but that will come later. Now, sit in the meditative state and slowly try to move the dragon energy inside your body like this...."

Cynthia quickly started to train Garchomp with a new training plan. The plan was to manipulate the dragon-type energy inside the body to push the body to a new height. This would passively make the body stronger, its bones stronger and also increase the capacity of the dragon-type energy that Garchomp could hold.

But...

ROOOOARRRR

It was extremely painful. So painful that even the most proudest and arrogant dragon-type Pokemons would not dare to train in it. But Cynthia believed that her Garchomp could do it.

###

Meanwhile, Salamence started to train on its new move and it found out that after using its pre-domain move, it could finally use this move to shield multiple allies.

After a month of training, it had also reached tier 2 king rank. Now, Cynthia was confident that something was helping her and her Pokemons. She was not stupid like others to think that there was no price to pay for this. But she didn't even know what was helping her.

So, she pushed her Pokemons more cause she knew that this was the chance that she could not miss.

They slowly started to move forward as both Garchomp and Salamence started to train and improve. The improvement was massive and very quick. After training here for 3 months, Cynthia finally made a bold claim.

"I want both of you to reach pseudo-champion rank in the next 9 months."

Maybe cause she was only focusing on only 2 Pokemons, or maybe cause the training was what she was doing all the time, the progress of her Pokemons was very high, and even they believed that they could achieve this feat.

There had been little to no progress in Garchomp new training plan but she was not worried about that. This was supposed to take time and Garchomp was not even a pseudo-champion rank Pokemon right now.

But Cynthia could already see the aftereffects of the new training plan. Garchomp had gotten stronger and now its stamina had increased by a lot.

It could last longer in battle.

"Garchomp, I want you to upgrade your 'Sandstorm' to have a healing effect.", said Cynthia.

"But how can a 'Sandstorm' have a healing effect?"

"It is quite simple. Your 'Dragon bubble' would not only increase the power of your dragon-type powers but also improve your healing speed. First, you will only focus on your 'Dragon bubble' to improve healing and stamina.

Then we will mix the 'Sandstorm' with 'Dragon bubble' and increase the area effect of the move. I feel that this is possible. This would rapidly increase your survival to a new level.", said Cynthia.

Garchomp lacked a good healing move. Since it was a physical attacker, a healing move was necessary for it.

"Don't worry. I know that this will take some time but it is okay. If you can master this technique, then with the help of dragon arts, your power will reach a new height."

'Dragon arts' was a fighting technique that Garchomp developed when it was using 'Thrones way'. It was a mix of martial arts and sword techniques that delivered good damage.

As of right now, it was only at phase one but Cynthia wanted it to develop to rank 2. Now, Garchomp's balance had senses had been compensated, it could develop this move too.

The balance was still not perfect as it had to use 'Thrones way' and it had to consciously use the move 'Detect' to increase its senses but Cynthia knew that it could be the same in the future.

'Thrones way' had developed a lot and now the speed and the power of the move were very high compared to before. It had been using this move for quite some time now and even the stamina consumption of using this move had decreased.

###

Meanwhile, Salamence was in a pickle. In these 3 months, Garchomp had shown rapid growth. It was also growing but not at such a speed. Dragon were considered to be the master of infinity energy and they could do anything with it.

At least that was what it knew from Cynthia. So, Cynthia wanted it to be the master of manipulating this energy and controlling the battlefield like a king.

"You just don't have that drive like Garchomp."

"What do you mean? I am training like no tomorrow."

"I know that and I know you are even training harder than Garchomp. But you don't have that zeal or drive like Garchomp. This sort of feeling comes from experience and what Garchomp experienced from that fight with Charizard, it had understood what it lacks. But you never had that experience.

Now, we cannot get that sort of experience but do one thing. Try to feel it. Try to think of the consequences of you not getting stronger and fuel that drive in your training."

###

A couple of months have passed like that and Garchomp had reached tier 3 king rank. This was a monumental achievement and now it was very close to reaching pseudo-king rank.

The progress was so out of the world that even Cynthia was doubting the reality of it. But, for some weird reason, Cynthia felt that this was not enough. She felt that something very big was going to happen in the future and she needed to be ready for it.

So, she had decided to seriously train Salamence too. For the past months, most of her focus was on Garchomp cause it was injured and getting used to the new injured body.

But Cynthia felt that since the future might be very dark, the power of Salamence was needed to tackle it.

It was not that Garchomp was not strong. But Garchomp solely focused on dealing physical damage. She needed someone who could control the battlefield to her advantage.

So, Cynthia began to plan for Salamence and how to make it strong.

"Salamence, the first thing you will have to do is to increase the proficiency of your existing moves. You have it all. You can shield your allies, and increase their overall stats for a short period of time and you also have a weather move particularly focused on dragon-type energy.

Your pre-domain move is also very good in assisting you in battle. What I want from you is to increase the duration of those effects and also the effect of those moves.

Then we will concentrate on your special attacking moves."

Cynthia had yet to think about the new direction that Salamence was going to pursue. She had a list of directions that dragon type Pokemons could go and one of them was perfect for Salamence which was called, 'Absolute control'.

But Cynthia knew that Salamence's wanted to be an attacker. So, even if this was perfect for Salamence if Salamence didn't give its full while training, then it would not make much progress.

'It looks like I have to prove to him how good a control-type Pokemon is.', thought Cynthia.
