Chapter 531: Wicked Pidgeot
Chapter 531: Wicked Pidgeot
------
It took 20 more hours for others to gain control of aeus energy. Their suits were filled with aeus energy now. Axel could also see that the suit may not be able to store more aeus energy. However, it would still block the aeus energy and that would save their life.
All of them were surprised by seeing the view. It looked majestic and dangerous. They would see white clouds that were being swept by the wind. They would see big trees and their thick branches and they could feel the pressure of the wind.
Frank and others had also finally learned 'Aura coat'. This happened when they were in fairy-type resource place. So, they were also able to handle the wind pressure but they could still not move properly. Their mastery of the move was not very high like Axel and Cody.
"So, what is the plan?", asked Lance.
"Charles has noticed some Pokemons on the ground and they look hostile. However, the wind pressure on the ground is very low. So, I think first we should go to the ground.", said Axel.
"Axel, the leader of these Pokemons is very strong. If Charles could sense hostility, then is it really wise to go to the ground?", asked Lance.
"It seems like you guys have not noticed it. These Pokemons cannot kill us until we die from the test. You saw how aggressive Ninetales was in the volcanic mountain and how powerful Krookodile was in the ground-type valley. Did any of them try to harm us?"
"I have also noticed it but there is still a risk.", said Kate.
"Yes, there is but you guys lost the bet and now you have to help me claim it. Are you saying that you people are backing down? If that is so then we can go separate ways from here."
"No, I am not telling you that. I am just giving you some advice.", said Kate.
"I understand. If any of you don't want to go down then you can exit the place. All of you know where to go."
None of them moved from there. First of all their pride didn't let them move. K, and Cody were already on Axel's side since Axel was from the Venu family. Others were the children of prominent families.
They also didn't move cause they knew that all the things that they got on this island, it was all due to Axel. Axel had the highest contribution and he was also very strong. Stronger than any of them. They didn't want to make an enemy out of him.
"Good, then let's go down.", said Axel and jumped on Charizard.
Others also jumped on their flying-type Pokemon and they slowly started to decent. Going down was not so easy. Since the pressure of the wind was so high, there was a high chance that one of them might fall.
The Pokemons were very careful to not let their trainers fall and after 5 minutes, they finally reached the ground. All of them could see a variety of Pokemons and there was a Pidgeot standing at the front. This Pidgeot looked extremely powerful.
Axel could not see the details of the status of that Pidgeot cause it was too strong but he guessed that it might be a master rank Pokemon. All of the Pokemons were looking at them with arrogance and hostility.
"Ummm, Hello.", said Axel.
"I know why you humans have come here. You want to claim the island. Since that is the case, I will give you the test and if you fail, you will have to return and never come back.", spat out Pidgeot.
"Can you tell us why are all of you so angry at us?", asked Axel. None of his friends thought to speak as they were slightly terrified by that Pidgeot.
"We are not angry at you. We are just disappointed to see that your Pokemon are so weak. None of you have an ounce of knowledge about wind and flying and yet here you are to claim the island.
This island is very special for us flying-type Pokemons and I feel sad to give this island to you ignorants."
Axel could make a guess that the test was going to be extra hard. This Pidgeot hated them and it was going to do everything to save this island from them.
"Our knowledge about flying-type Pokemons is not so advanced as yours. That is obvious cause we are not flying-type Pokemons like you. So, state the test, so that we can claim it.", said Axel.
"Very well. I cannot give you an impossible test, so I will give you 2 choices for the test.
The first choice is for one of your flying-type Pokemons to challenge one of our Pokemons in the flying contest. The rank of our Pokemon would be one rank lower than your Pokemon.
The second choice is the battle between one of your flying type Pokemon with one of our Pokemon. The rank of our Pokemon would be one rank higher than your Pokemon.
So, choose. Which test would you prefer?"
This was a complicated choice. Obviously, there was a trap in one of the choices but Axel could not tell which was the trap. He started to think and realized that both of them might be the trap.
"What should I do?", asked Axel to the group.
"I would say you to take the first choice but seeing the evil smile of that Pidgeot, I think it would be a trap.", said Ryker.
"I also think the same.", said Kate.
"But if we chose the second choice, then they would obviously be in an advantageous position.", commented Lance.
"Wait a minute. How could the first choice be a trap?", asked Frank cause he felt that they would surely win with the first choice.
"The first choice is obviously a trap. That Pidgeot said that there would be a flying contest. What flying contest? There are no details about it. Even if it is a simple flying contest, the Pokemons here are much more knowledgeable about the terrain. They would know the tricks to fly here with maximum speed. I also feel that the flying powers of the Pokemons here are very high compared to our Pokemons.", explained Axel.
"If that is the cause, we are going to lose. Even if we choose the second choice, then it would be much harder for us to win.", sighed Frank.
It was really a conundrum for Axel. He wanted to claim this place. He could feel that this place was very mysterious and the power of Pidgeot and Charizard would increase by a huge margin if he won the test.
Axel turned towards Pidgeot and asked, "If my Pokemon is tier 2 of king-rank Pokemon, then would your Pokemon be tier 3 of king-rank Pokemon or would it be in pseudo-champion rank?"
"So, you are thinking of taking the second choice?", asked Pidgeot.
"No, I am just getting full information. You said that the test could not be unfair or unwinnable, so if the Pokemon is going to be pseudo-champion rank, it would be unfair.", replied Axel.
"You are right. The Pokemon would be tier 3 of king rank. You don't have to shit your pants.", laughed Pidgeot.
Even if Axel were to choose the second choice, there was no way he was going to win it. The difference in power between tier 2 and tier 3 king-rank Pokemons could not be underestimated. It was really huge. That was why there were sub-ranks after the king rank. That was what Kate was thinking.
"Good, then I will choose the second choice.", said Axel with a smile.
Pidgeot felt that he was planning something from that smile but it didn't know what it was and it didn't care.
"Good, choose your Pokemon. Remember, it must be a flying type Pokemon.", said Pidgeot.
"Yes, I know. I choose Charizard.", said Axel and...
ROOOARRR!!!
Charizard came forward showing its dominance. Pidgeot also picked a Pokemon from its side. The Pokemon was also a Pidgeot and it was a tier 3 king-rank Pokemon.
###
"Sigh, Axel going to lose this one. We just wasted time coming here.", said Kate. She didn't care if Axel got to claim this place or not but she also didn't want him to lose to that arrogant Pidgeot.
Kate just wanted to slap that Pidgeot to death. It was too arrogant.
"No, you are dead wrong. Axel is going to win this battle. Damn! I cannot believe that he would have 2 resource places. His power and Venu family power would rise to the roof and I lost 10 billion Poke dollars.", said Ryker feeling sad.
If he had not taken the bet and instead followed Axel, he might have had a chance to get this place for himself but he was too stupid. He was also thinking that K was stupid beyond reason to trust Axel's instinct and now he felt that he was the one who was stupid. He also lost 10 billion Poke dollars to K. His father was not going to be very happy about this.
"What do you mean? Axel's Charizard might be strong but it cannot win against a tier 3 king-rank Pidgeot. The difference is too high!!"
"That is why you are wrong. Axel's Charizard is special and it is extremely powerful. You might have fought with it but it had not shown its full power. Just watch closely and try to see if you can uncover some of the secrets of his Charizard.", said Ryker.
Kate may not know but Ryker had seen Charizard fight with Cynthia's Garchomp. He knew how powerful it really was and it had the power to surpass its rank.

"Let the battle begin!!", shouted Pidgeot.
"Charles, use 'Flame armor' and 'Dragon scales'. Also, use 'Blaze' and 'Sunny day'"
RROOOOARRRR.
It first used 'Flame armor' and 'Dragon scales'. The red scales in its body started to multiply and shortly all of its body was covered with it. Then, it flames came from its body and then attached itself as a form of armor.
PING!!
While doing it, Charizard was flown off was an invisible force but it stabilized itself. That invisible force was Pidgeot which had attacked Charizard with its beak.
The speed of the Pidgeot was too fast. Axel could not even see it properly. Axel also realized that it had used some moves to increase its speed. This speed of Pidgeot was going to be a problem.
Charizard then used 'Blaze' with a big roar. The place around Charizard started to burn with hot red fire and the temperature of the surroundings started to increase exponentially.
Kate was drum stuck by seeing the power of that 'Blaze'. Charizard had used it during the fight with her Charizard but the intensity of this 'Blaze' was on a different level. Kate then realized that Axel was not serious when fighting with her and this made her furious.
Charizard then used 'Sunny day' as 2 small balls of light came from its mouth and it started to rapidly increase in size and it started to go up. The heat of the surroundings increased again as Charizard used 'Flamethrower' to Pidgeot but it dodged it without any problem.
The fight went on for 5 minutes and one may think that Charizard might be winning with its fire-type moves as it had powered up greatly but the result was just the opposite.
Pidgeot was too fast for Charizard to dodge and attack. Charizard had not been able to hit it even once while Pidgeot was dodging the moves as if it were on vacation. The power of Pidgeot was not as high as Axel had expected and due to 'Flame armor' and 'Dragon scales', Charizard was able to hold it in.
After 5 minutes passed, Axel gave a small smile and said, "It is finally time. Charles, now do it. Use 'Transform'"
After that, all hell broke got loose.
