Chapter 628: The Legend
Axel also wanted to concentrate on 'Ancient power'.
"'Ancient power' is a rock-type move and you are a rock-type Pokemon. I believe that when you level it up to level 40, you will feel even more significant changes than others. So, concentrate on that.
Just like Togetic, you will also try to level up, 'Dragon breath', 'Iron tail', and 'Rock polish' to level 40 and of course, you will also be learning a new move. You don't need to learn existing moves now. You have your basics covered.
However, I still feel that you should learn some physical moves mainly concentrating on your bite force."
Aerodactyl knew special moves and also physical moves but Aerodactyl shined more in physical moves. It was a physical attacker. Aerodactyl's teeth were known to shred its opponents, so he wanted to concentrate on its bite force and also some moves that were physical in nature.
So, the new move that it was going to learn would be relating to its teeth.
Axel looked at the book that he had not opened for a long time. This was the research book that he had written himself when he was observing Dracorock.
He went to the bite section and started to read it. As per the leader of Dracorock, they were known for their biting power in ancient times. There was one Dracorock, that was said to have unbreakable teeth. That time the leader of Dracorock told Axel to come to them when he needed assistance for bitting attacks of Aerodactyl and now he needed to go there. However, he only had 2 weeks left to train all of them, and going there would be wasting a lot of time.
That was when he remembered something that would solve the problem. Mew. It was still living in his home eating all the delicious foods. He called his mother to tell Mew to come to his place.
Being curious, Mew also came to Axel within 5 minutes. Teleportation was really a cheat. If his Alakazam could do long-distance teleportation, then it would really cut his time in doing a lot of things.
"Kid, what do you want from me?", asked MEW
Axel realized that this was the sweet-talking female Mew but the MEW. It looked like they had switched. The difficulty of processing the request had increased a lot now.
"Mew, I want to go to a cave to meet with Dracorock but since I am very short on time, I was wondering if you could help me."
"Oh, you think that I am your travel slave huh? Why should I help you in this?", asked MEW.
"Well, all of you have put the responsibility of saving the world to me and now I am just asking for a little help. I am not asking a huge sacrifice from you."
MEW started to think about the proposal. It was true that all of them including Celebi had given Axel a mission to save Arceus and the humans of this world. So, they should also be helping him.
After thinking about it for some time, MEW agreed but also said that it would not be helping him on menial tasks like this in the future. Axel agreed to it saying that this was just a one-time thing.
SWOOOCHH
###
MEW teleported directly inside the cave where the family of Dracorock was living. All of them were living peacefully but after seeing 2 entities come out of nowhere.
All of them were concerned and got into battle positions. The leader was specially ready for battle. When they saw who had come into their home, all of them bowed. This was the respect that MEW deserved.
"Hello leader, it has been a long time.", said Axel greeting the leader. The leader was happy to see Axel after a long time.
The leader was a king-rank Pokemon and it could properly talk. It first asked how Aerodactyl was doing. Axel called out Aerodactyl from the master ball.
Aerodactyl was happy to be home. It roamed around and then started to talk to its friends and then also talked to its parents.
"You said that I should come to you when I wanted Aerodactyl to learn about its biting power. Well, I believe that it is ready now."
"You have come at the right time. Come let me tell you about our history.", said the leader and told Axel to follow it.
The leader did give proper respect to MEW before asking Axel to follow it. MEW was called the mother of all the Pokemons and it had high status among all the Pokemons.
"Axel, have I told you about one of our ancestors that was said to have unbreakable teeth?"
"Yes, you did tell me about it."
"Then you should also hear how he did it. Our teeth are very different from other Pokemons. Normally, baby teeth grow and then fall off and a new one comes. When the new teeth come along, they are stronger than the baby teeth.
The same happens to us but there is a slight difference. Our teeth don't stand there. They continue to fall off and each tooth after them is stronger and sturdier than before.
When all of our teeth fall off one hundred times, then we will have unbreakable teeth. It is called the unbreathable teeth cause it cannot be broken anymore. However, that doesn't mean that they are the mightiest."
"What do you mean?"
"There are very few of them that have reached the stage of unbreakable teeth cause the new teeth would be stronger than before and it comes to a point of time where it becomes almost impossible to breathe it again. So, very few of them are able to reach the 100 change of their teeth.
But one of our ancestors did the opposite."
"Opposite?"
"Yes, opposite. Instead of concentrating on breaking his teeth, he proceeded to make them stronger?"
"Yes, stronger. He would use a type of paste that would slowly make the teeth stronger and then he would train and break it. He would continue this for as long as he could remember and when he broke all of his teeth 100th time, something amazing happened."
"Really? What happened?"
"His teeth became so strong that they could even bite the space and time itself. He became the most powerful Dracorock to ever exist."
"Really? Then how did he die?"
"Well, he became a god after that but time is one thing that no one could suppress. I don't know how he died, may be due to old age or maybe in the hands of the enemy. However, I do know that the ancestor was the most powerful Dracorock to ever exist."
The leader looked at Axel and Aerodactyl and then said, "I called you here 'cause I want you and Aerodactyl to make a choice. You can go the simple way of breaking it 100 times and that would still be very difficult or you can go the hard way by making the teeth stronger every time. I have the recipe for the paste and it is not so hard to make.
So, what do you want to do?"
Axel looked at his Pokemon and asked, "What do you want to do? I will support your decision."
Aerodactyl didn't even bother to think for a minute and said that it would go through the hard route.
"Haha, that is my boy. Now, let me give a the paste and also the recipe for it. Come again when you evolve to Dracorock.", said the leader and patted Aerodactyl's back for taking its stand.
After talking with its family for some time, they were ready to return. Axel, MEW, and Aerodactyl disappeared after completing their task.
After they disappeared, the mother of Aerodactyl came near the leader and asked, "Leader, do you really think that my child could accomplish it? I meant the story of the ancestor is just a legend."
"Don't worry Kamilia, your son is in the hands of a very capable trainer and I believe that he could do it.", said the leader with high hopes.
"Let's just hope that my son can revive our clan.", said the mother with a worried voice.
"Don't worry, he will do it. I believe in him."
###
After coming to the training ground, Axel first thanked MEW and then put the paste on each of Aerodactyl's teeth. Aerodactyl was told to wait for 30 minutes after putting the paste and then it started to train.
"Aerodactyl, we will create a new move relating to your teeth. I believe that your bite force has very high potential and I don't want to waste it. So, this is what we will do...."
Axel started to tell his plan to Aerodactyl. After hearing the plan, Aerodactyl didn't think that it could achieve it but Axel told it to try.
"Let me tell you. If you could not have any progress in 2 weeks then we will think of other things. But just give it a try for 2 weeks. You will only lose 2 weeks, so there is no need to worry about anything.", said Axel.
Aerodactyl agreed after hearing Axel's plea and then continued to practice.
###
After figuring out the training plans for 2 of his Pokemons, Axel went on to look at his other Pokemons. He first looked at Primeape. First of all, Axel wanted to increase some of the fighting type moves for Primeape so that all of them would have a synergy effect when it used 'Close combat'. So, he told it to learn 'Double kick' and 'Brick break'. Both of them were interesting moves and they would increase much more variety in their moveset.
Secondly, it needed to learn some defensive moves and healing-type moves. It was like a berserker. It would have a very high attack after using moves like 'Counter' and 'Reversal' but it needed to have healing moves and some defensive moves.
Axel also realized that Primeape wanted to concentrate on its speed. So, it also needed to have some moves that would increase its speed. It needed to learn a lot of new moves to be compatible.
After using it in gym battles, Axel realized that even though Primeape was a strong Pokemon, it needed to learn a variety of moves.
After thinking for some time, Axel made a decision for Primeape to learn the move 'Draining punch'. Primeape knew a lot of fighting-type moves now and he didn't want to add another but 'Draining punch' was the only one that could increase its health.
"Gary, you will be learning a new defensive move that will help you in the future. Don't worry, you will also be learning speed-type moves that you love so much.
I have to think about your new move for some time and during that time you will be learning all these 3 moves.", said Axel.
Axel also told it to concentrate on training its ability. Mastering its ability would be the primary thing that Primeape would do before anything else. This ability had been a bane of its destruction and low progress but if it could master it, it would be a boon to it.
