BXBX NOVEL Chapter 672: Rank up
Chapter 672: Rank up
A Vice Admiral would have 2 Field Marshals, 2 Major Generals, 4 Generals, 8 Brigadier General, 16 Commanders, 32 Zone Commanders, 64 Lieutenants, 1280 Captains and 25,600 Cadets. So, a total of 27,009. Sir Garp has 2 Vice Admirals, so a total force of 54,019 including the admiral."
"That is quite a lineup you have there. I am impressed.", said Axel.
Axel then started to talk about the missions that they normally do and the power of their team members. Axel was also very interested in the motto of the organization. Every organization would have a motto of their own.
"When Sir Blue started the organization, he just wanted to explore the whole world. You know that most of the land is yet to be explored. It is estimated that around 75% of the land and 97% of the sea and oceans have not been explored.
After the end of the ancient era, the influence of the humans has decreased a lot. So we want to explore all the places and take control of it. Sir Blue feels that there are a lot of mysteries and secrets that we don\'t know."
As Others started to talk and enjoy, Axel was trying to do some breathing exercises to reduce his sleep. This was a form of training that he had received from the stone.
Axel knew that it would be very hard to train Pokemons as their numbers started to get higher but he just could not miss Kingdra. When the leader and the other 2 turned to leave, Axel inspected one of the Kingdra that came with the leader. He was not stupid enough to identify the leader himself.
That Kingdra was very strong and Axel wanted to properly inspect it but he didn\'t have the time. So, he started to skim through its stats and found one interesting thing. It had a passive move and the name of the passive move was what made him interested to further look into it.
---
Blessing of the sea: The user is blessed by the sea. Any Kingdra who had given all of its dedication to the sea could get this blessing. The user would be powerful and fast in the water body. They could manipulate water as an extension of their body and they would have reduced stamina consumption while at the sea. An overall increase in its power and stats.
---
There were a lot of questions in his mind after seeing this description. First of all, he thought that only legendary and mythical Pokemon could give blessing not things like sea or fire. This showed that the sea also had some sort of consciousness.
Secondly, the move said that the user would be powerful in the sea but Axel knew that the move was not so simple. There must be something more to it. Too bad he could not see all the stats of that Kingdra.
The ocean and sea are still unknown to humans and just like Blue and other well-renowned people, Axel also felt that the sea and oceans hid a lot of secrets and mysteries. Axel believed that Kingdra would be the key to exploring the sea and ocean.
Axel didn\'t sleep that night but only meditated to reduce his sleep. He had called out all of his Pokemon except for Charizard and some of them were training. Especially Pokemons like Shedinja, Pidgeot, and even Feraligatr.
Feraligatr felt that it was very close to leveling up \'Crunch\' to level 40. It could just feel it. Aerodactyl had already done it. It believed that it could do it too.
After training for some hours at night, finally, it felt that the dark type energy on its teeth was getting stronger and sharper, and then,
---
Ding!
Feraligatr\'s Crunch has leveled up to level 40. It has a 60% chance of lowering the target\'s defense and can also cause a bleeding effect.
---
This was a simple modification but this simple modification led to.
---
Ding!
Feraligatr has fulfilled all the conditions for the rank-up.
Ding!
Feraligatr is ranking up to rare rank.
---
Suddenly a blue glow of light covered Feraligatr and the glow started to get darker and stronger. This went on for 5 minutes and Axel already threw a type-enhancing item to Feraligatr.
ROOOOARRRR
With a rush of power inside its body, it gave a huge roar which woke up some of the people that were sleeping. After seeing that it was only Feraligatr, they went to sleep but Krishna didn\'t. He could see that Feraligatr had ranked up to rare rank and being a water-type specialist he wanted to see what would happen.

Axel was surprised that its health had increased to 3k which was big for an initial rare-rank Pokemon. Its hidden power mastery had also increased a bit and now it was a rare rank Pokemon.
Axel and other Pokemons went towards it to congratulate it for the job well done. Even though rare rank was not a high rank for Axel, it was still good progress.
"Congrats Axel and Feraligatr for ranking up to rare rank.", said Krishna as he approached from the tent.
"Sorry for the roar. Feraligatr was just too excited to rank up.", said Axel with an awkward smile.
Feraligatr had not gone berserk after ranking up. It had gotten a lot of lessons from its seniors on how it would feel when it ranks up. But the power that it felt from the rank up was too much to control.
"Don\'t worry, I am happy to witness it. By the way, can I look at your Feraligatr for a bit?", asked Krishna.
Axel agreed as Krishna was a water-type specialist. He went around and looked at its scales, body, and teeth. He also looked at its claws.
"I must say, Axel, you have trained your Feraligatr quite well. It has strong and sharp teeth and strong scales. But its claws are a bit weak not very sharp. You should think of training its claws too.", said Krishna.
"Thanks for the advice. Are there any suggestions that you can give me?", asked Axel.
"There are many if you are not bored to listen to me.", said Krishna with a smile.
"Of course, I am not bored to listen to something interesting. Feraligatr, you also come here.", said Axel believing that he would receive some valuable advice.
"First of all, I must say that you are doing a good job in training its teeth but I believe that it is still not in its best condition. You are applying the paste from Gatr family and it does a good job but if you want to have Feraligatr with powerful teeth then this is not going to be enough."
"Really? Then what should I do?"
"First let me tell you something about Feraligatr. It is a Pokemons that is known to have powerful teeth that could shred anything that it wants. But that is not the only thing that it is rumored to be proud of.
Another thing is its speed. Not a marathon but a sprint. It could release a burst of speed for a very short time that could be very fast to see from the naked eye. Then come to its scales and its claws. The claws from its hand and legs could be very sharp and steady to deliver a powerful blow.
Finally, its scales are not only hardened, raising its defense but also quite flexible to resist a lot of attacks...."
Krishna went on to say a lot of things about Feraligatr. He knew almost all of those things but he had never concentrated on each of them like Krishna.
"Finally, its tying which is water is perfect for it. First of all, tell me what do you think about water typing?", asked Krishna.
"I believe that it is the most underestimated typing as it could be very sharp when it needs to.", replied Axel.
"You are right about it. I didn\'t know that you had such a deep understanding of water. But it looks like you are not there yet.
I believe that water is the most malleable substance in the whole wide world. It could change from ice to steam and vapor. It could be as fast as lightning and as hot as fire. It could be as steady as a rock and as big as the sky. A good mastery of it could also heal the Pokemon and its allies and it could also be used to defend against powerful attacks.
Another interesting thing about water is the quantity that we have in our world. Almost 60 to 7% of our world is covered in water bodies like lakes, seas, and oceans. These seas and oceans hold a lot of water-type energy inside of them. Now, what do you think would happen if a Pokemon could utilize those powers for themselves?"
"Could a Pokemon like my Feraligatr could really use the power of sea and ocean even when it is not near it?", asked Axel.
"Of course, why not. As per my theory, they could certainly do it. The world is covered in infinity energy and the infinity energy has many forms. Water is one of its many forms and since we have a huge quantity of water in our world, why can\'t the Pokemons use it to their advantage?", asked Krishna to Axel.
They talked about multiple topics and Axel found that Krishna was a very interesting trainer. His name fitted his behavior and his personality. Just like the Lord Krishna from the hindu religion, he was good at talking and convincing others to do almost anything. He was like a master manipulator who knew the overall picture and was manipulating everyone and everything like he wanted.
"Krishna, I feel that you have a lot of theories. Have to experimented on even one of them? And have you succeeded?", asked Axel.
At that question, Krishna\'s face changed and he became a little sad.
"No, I have not been able to experiment on any of my theories."
"But why?"
"Well, to experiment on these theories, I would need a lot of resources and a lot of time and I don\'t have any of them."
"I think that you guys earn enough for that."
"Yes, we do but I don\'t have the way to get all the resources and we are constantly on missions. So, I don\'t have time for any of it."
Unlike the god of manipulation, Krishna lacked a lot of means to accomplish his dreams. He went on to say that his friends and teams think that he was just crazy and such a thing would not happen at all. He was told to reach the level of Admiral if he wanted to experiment with his theories.
Axel could understand where Kizaru and others were coming from. Resources were very limited and Krishna\'s theories on water-type Pokemons and team-building required a lot of recourse, time, and patience.
"I have a proposal for you.", said Axel.
