Chapter 477: New Partner
Chapter 477: New Partner
"Well, Oak had told Axel that he should be inside the badlands and he had to survive it in the future. So, Oak would be very delighted that I did this. I even lowered the difficulty of the badlands so his psychic would not be affected. So, don\'t worry about it.", said Togekiss.
"That motherfucker is crazy!!! He doesn\'t even let his students have a good life.", said Charizard.
"Well, Oak is one hell of a human.", said Togekiss.
As they were talking, Cynthia and Steven woke up. They looked at Lance, Axel and Wallace who was still sleeping on the ground.
"Congratulations! You have passed the test with flying colors.", said Sam with a happy face.
"Thanks", said both of them
"What did you face?", asked Cynthia.
"I was in the forest and I faced a group of Beedrill and Butterfree. Those Pokemons are crazy. I never knew that bug-type Pokemon could be so dangerous.
What did you face?", said Steven.
When Steven asked his question, Lance and Wallace also woke up. They had also passed the test.
All of them started to discuss their experience inside the dreamland. They had faced similar situations.
But even after talking for 10 minutes, Axel had not woken up.
"Uncle Sam, is Axel going to be okay and why is his Pokemon lying on the ground?", asked Cynthia.
Cynthia hated Axel to her core. But after resting and thinking for 2 days, she came to the conclusion that Axel was not a bad guy. She was the one who had challenged Axel and she was the one who had lost. And now she was hating him for it?
That didn\'t make any sense. Axel had also tried to apologize to her and gave her some medicine that could cure her Garchomp. But she was too proud to take it.
Make no mistake, she still hated Axel to the core but she also knew that Axel was not a bad guy.
"Unlike you kids, who fully trusted me and this environment, Axel had a Shedinja who was hiding in this shadow. When Shedinja felt that something bad was going to happen, it came outside to protect its trainer. So, Togekiss fought with it and Shedinja lost. Don\'t worry, it has only fainted. It is okay."
"Wait? You are saying that Shedinja could hide in a person\'s shadow? That is very cool!!!", said Wallace.
"Yes, they can. There are many types of ghost type Pokemons and each of them have their specialty. Shedinja focuses on shadow powers, so it can hide in a person\'s shadow. It can also use shadow to fight with its opponent.
If you want to know more, you can just ask Axel. I am not well versed on it.", said Sam.
Wallace was very interested in this ability. Normally, ghost type Pokemons could hide in the shadow while using a move like \'Shadow sneak\' but it was not perfect. Any person could defect the discrepancy on the shadow if one were to look closely at it.
However, Shedinja was different. Wallace had been with him for a long time but he could not feel Shedinja inside Axel\'s shadow. This showed how good and powerful Shedinja really was.
He also knew that Shedinja was one of the weakest Pokemon to ever exist but Axel had trained such a weak Pokemon to king-rank status. So, the Pokemon must have something good to be trained in such a fashion.
Wallace wanted to ask Axel about it but he was 100% sure that Axel would not give a valid reply. Axel was not a friend of Wallace and all of them had shown anger towards him in the past. He felt that he had made a mistake by hating Axel and following Volkner\'s lead.
"You still have not told us about Axel. What is happening to him?", asked Cynthia.
"Axel is facing a different scenario and it is more difficult than you all have faced. So, it is taking a bit of time."
"But why?"
"Ask Togekiss about it. How would I know?", said Sam
As they were talking, Axel woke up. His eyes were red for some reason. Togekiss could tell that Axel had also passed.
However, just when he stood up, he fainted again.
"AXEL!!!", shouted Lance and ran towards him.
"Don\'t worry, he is fine. He is just tired from the test. It must have taken a toll on him. Why don\'t all of you pick your Togepi and then we get out of here? Our business here is finished."
There were multiple Togepi that were looking at the trainer with curious faces. Most of them were excited to go to the outside world.
Each of them went picked their own Togepi.
Cynthia knelt down towards one of them and asked, "Do you want to be part of my family?"
"Chuki.. Chuki.. Turri", replied the Togepi saying yes.
"Ok, say your goodbyes to your family. We are going to the outside world."
The Togepi went to its parents to say goodbye. It started to cry. It wanted to go the outside world but it didn\'t want to leave its parents.
Cynthia said that they would come here occasionally and it could meet its parents. Only then, it agreed and went inside the master ball.
Eevee who was just watching all of this went to Axel and sat on his chest. It was also talking to the odd Togepi who was sitting on the unconscious body of Shedinja.
This Togepi seemed to possess a permanent scowl on its cute face.
"Now, since all of you have your Togepi, let go. Xatu, teleport us out of here.", said Sam.
All of them went close to Xatu. Xatu also picked up Shedinja and Sam picked up Axel who had fainted. When Xatu was about to teleport, the odd Togepi who was close by also placed its hand on Xatu and waved at its father saying goodbye and all of them teleported.
Togekiss was shocked to see this.
"In the end, he decided to follow the trainer that he wished to follow without even asking for my permission. He is really independent.", muttered Togekiss.
"At least the chaotic son is out of your hand. Now, it is that kid\'s problem. But why did the kid fainted again? What did you do to him?", asked Pidgeot.
"I don\'t know."
"You mean to tell me that you don\'t know what you did when you are the one who did all this?"
"You don\'t understand. I proceeded to take all of them to the dreamland and started to give them the challenge that they would face but when I turned towards Axel, Mew took over me and I was forced out. So, I don\'t know what he faced."
This surprised them even further as they realized that Togekiss didn\'t do anything. Mew was the examiner of Axel and only it knew what had happened.
"Hahahahaha"
"Why are you laughing?", asked Togekiss.
"It is nothing. It is just that you did nothing but the entire pot fell on your head. This is so funny."
"You guys are the worst!!"
"Hahahha"
Togekiss then thought to itself, \'It seems you have chosen the path for your future. I hope that you grow stronger and even surpass me in the future. No, I know you will do it. After all, you are my son.\'
After that, it looked at the horizon.

"Cynthia would surely get a Togepi!!!", shouted Volkner.
"No, Axe would get it. Axel is better than Cynthia.", said Ryker
"You are underestimating Cynthia. Do you really think that Axel is better just cause he won one time?", asked Volkner.
"Guys, cool down. I think both of them will get a Togepi.", said Akane trying to calm them down.
SOOOWCHHHH
"AHHHHHHHHH", shouted Elesa. It happened so suddenly. The group had arrived.
Ryker wanted to mock Elesa but he kept quiet.
"What happened to Axel and that Pokemon?", asked Volkner.
"Don\'t worry, he is fine. He just needs a bit of a rest.", said Sam and he carried Axel to his own room.
Elesa saw a cute little Togepi who looked very angry. Both of its tiny hands were on its hips and it was staring at them. Elesa found that very cute and wanted to pick it up but she saw that this Togepi was really angry.
The angry Togepi followed Axel to his room.
The nurses checked Shedinja and Axel and told them that both of them would wake up after some hours. So, they didn\'t need to worry about it.

Pokemon POV Start
Shedinja was in another room and it had already woken up. It went to Axel\'s room to check. It saw a small cute Pokemon looking at Axel. It knew that was Togepi, its new friend.
"What are you looking at kid?", asked Shedinja.
"Just looking at the human who is going to train me. I don\'t know if he is capable enough."
Oh, this Togepi was feisty. Normally, baby Pokemons only cared about running around and playing till they felt tired but this Pokemon was something different.
"Don\'t worry. I can say for certainty that Axel is a great trainer. Do you really think that I would be with someone who is not capable?", asked Shedinja.
"How would I know? I have never met you before."
They started to talk for some time and Togepi calmed down. It didn\'t want to admit but it was a bit afraid after leaving its father. This was a new place and everything was new for it.
Pokemon POV End
###
After some time, Axel woke up. It took him some time to get over with what he had been through. He was sent to a very evil place. He didn\'t have to fight with any of the Pokemons but their auras were very evil.
Axel had faced many tides and he could feel the aura of the wild Pokemons. The wild Pokemons attacked cause they hated humans. Most of them didn\'t have a good experience with humans and that was okay cause it was logical.
However, the aura of the Pokemons that he felt in the dreamland was different. They were purely evil. They loved to kill humans and Pokemons for their own entertainment and that scared Axel a bit.
While he was thinking about it he found out that a cute little Pokemon was staring at him with a frown on its face.
"Oh hey, new guy. Welcome to the team. I think you are excited to meet your new friends. Don\'t worry, you will meet with all of them very soon.", said Axel.
Togepi started to speak but Axel could not understand it. So, he asked Shedinja who could speak in human language.
"It is saying that it wants to be part of your team but first it must know how capable you are. It is also angry at you cause you were thinking about something while not concentrating on it.", said Shedinja.
Axel realized that this was a problem child. He had not seen its status but he could tell that it had very good potential. So, first, he looked at its status page.

All in all, Togepi was a beast. It was just 4 months old and it had only been a month since it came out of its baby status but it had so many moves and most of the moves could be used in the later days too.
He realized that Togepi had a great ambition and it was very arrogant. He needed to dial it down.
Axel shook his head after hearing Shedinja and spoke to Togepi.
"No, this is not how it goes. I don\'t have to prove to you that I am a good trainer. Remember, you came to me. I didn\'t choose you. I promise myself that I will do everything to make you the best Togekiss but you also have to trust me.
You trusted your hunch and followed and I tell you to trust me again. You are free to go back again to your father if you want. I am not stopping you. Let me give you a solution.
You can follow me and train with me and if in the next 3 months, you are not satisfied with me, you can go your own way. I will take you to your home. How about that?"
