Pokemon - A real story

Chapter 108: The Universe of Pokeballs (Edited)

The second thing told by Flint was public knowledge. Axel already knew about it. But this world didn't have a device to accurately measure the core mastery of a Pokemon. So, sometimes a trainer would just waste time on core mastery when it was already full. But Axel had an advantage in that due to the system.

"By the way, I noticed that all of your Pokemons are in Pokeballs except for Beedrill who is in Ultra ball. I suggest you change the Pokeball as fast as possible.", suggested Flint.

"Thanks. I would do that at a later time." said Axel.

"You are not putting much importance on it but I would suggest that you do,., said Flint

Axel had read a lot about the universe of Pokeball.

A normal Pokeball would be small inside, like a small room. The environment would also be basic. However, advanced Pokeball like ultra ball and master ball would be as big as a castle inside.

Specific Pokeballs like heal ball would not only have a good environment inside but would also heal the Pokemons passively when it is inside the Pokeball. (Any Pokeballs would heal the Pokemons inside the ball but, heal ball would heal it much more effectively)

But since most of the time, Axel's Pokemons are out of the Pokeball training and fighting, he didn't see the need to change the Pokeball right now.

"A higher grade Pokeballs not only have a good environment inside but would also passively affect the Pokemon in the long run. Obviously in the right way. Many trainers do not consider this little detail to save some money but it would be really helpful in the long run. So, I suggest that you change the Pokeballs.", said Flint.

Axel didn't know about this little detail. But hearing such a serious voice from Flint, he thought that it was important. He decided to upgrade every Pokeball of his Pokemons.

"There is also a specialized Pokeball for Specific Pokemons." said Flint.

Axel didn't know the heads or tails of such things.

"It is not known to many trainers as it is a recent discovery and is very expensive. But you could order a customized Pokeball for every Pokemon. I however don't suggest you do that unless a Pokemon reaches rare rank and you had already thought of its growth plan."

This was new information for Axel and would be very valuable in the future. Talking with gym leaders was a blessing.

"I didn't know this info. How much does it normally cost?" asked Axel

"From 200 million to 500 million Poke dollars"

"For a single Pokeball?" Axel gasped.

"Yes, I told you it was a bit expensive. But they do a good job. This invention was made with the partnership of Prof. Oak and Devon corp."

The last time, Axel paid a good price for a Pokeball was 15,000 Poke Dollars and that was for Ultra ball. Even Master ball cost 30,000 Poke Dollars and it was the most expensive Pokeball Axel had ever known. But this Pokeball cost 500 million Poke Dollars? What was in it? It made Axel curious.

They talked about some interesting matters and Axel left. Axel also asked if Flint knew how to activate Hidden Power but Flint was also clueless about it.

This battle with Flint was an eye Opener for Axel. There were many things that he needed to rectify in his battle style and also in his Pokemon.

They were:

1. Shedinja didn't have any good attacking moves. Axel had never realized it. Since most of the attacks didn't affect it, Shedinja would only rely on 'Hypnosis'. This needed to change

2. Beedrill should learn 'swords dance' now. This would increase its attack. It should also have some variety in attack moves but that would be for later.

3. Axel should make a growth plan for Nidorino. After all, it was Axel's first Pokemon. He didn't want it to be left behind others.

Axel was planning to go to Pallet town tomorrow. He would take a flight to Pallet town. He didn't want to waste money in Viridian Forest.

Viridian Forest, unlike in anime or games was one of the most dangerous forests in the Kanto region. It was so dangerous that even elite trainers would not dare to go there freely.

The league had made a deal with the lords of Viridian forest. The league made a road inside the forest and the lords of the forest would not disturb humans when walking on the road. But to go through that road you would have to take a pass and it cost 10,000 Poke Dollars. A flight to Pallet Town costs 3,000 Poke Dollars.

So, Axel chose the flight option. Axel didn't have any plans to train his Pokemon for at least a week. He wanted them to have some break from regular training. So, he chose the flight option.

###

Next day,

Axel said goodbye to Pewter City and boarded the flight. He reached Pallet Town after 45 minutes. The Pokemon world was vast and even the distance between Pewter City and Pallet town was no joke. He was walking, it would have taken him a month to reach there.

Axel smelled the fresh air after landing. This was his first time coming to this town but he was having a nostalgic feeling. As per the anime, this was where it all began.

This town had a historical significance. This was the only town to have housed 3 champions from the Kanto region.

'It would be nice to meet Red and Blue.', thought Axel and walked towards Prof. Oak's house.
