<h1>Chapter 815: Training Gandiva</h1>A/N: Hello, everyone. I have just opened the Discord server with many new cool channels and categories. You can get some juicy updates on the novel and the world of Pokemon. It is also a nice place to just hang out and chat.So, if you are interested, do click on the link below:https://discord.gg/4XTAh4Jh---"Gandiva, one more time. Do it right now!!!", shouted Axel.Staravia looked at Axel and then sighed. It cursed itself for accepting the offer. Before, its daily life was easygoing. It would just sit and enjoy the view and others would get food for it. Of course, it would get humiliated for being the weakest Staravia in the group but that was all. It didn't mind when it could get free food.But now, for the past 3 days, it had been working nonstop in its physical powers and moves. Axel was very ruthless.Axel could also see that Staravia didn't have any goal set in mind. It didn't want to get stronger at all. It just wanted to laze around. Axel was having a headache dealing with this Pokemon.First of all, even though it had evolved once, it's move mastery was very low and its physical stats were also not something that he would be happy about. Axel also discussed with Red and doctors and found out that its was extremely malnourished. It also lacked proper exercise, that was why it was smaller than normal Staravia.The doctor had given him a proper diet plan filled with a lots of rare resources to get Staravia up to the standard. But those resources would only have an optimal effect, if Staravia were to train with all of its might.Forget about having powerful moves, he had to first concentrate on making it a normal Staravia.Yet, the problem was that Staravia was very lazy and it didn't want to train. Axel had to do something to motivate it.Then he realized that there was something that he could do."Gandiva, come over here."Gandiva flew towards Axel and looked at him. Its stare clearly saying, 'What do you want now?'"Why aren't you training seriously?", asked Axel.Crip.. Cripp... CRIPPP..."You think that it is hard huh? But have you thought about your reputation?""Crip?""Yes, your reputation. Everyone here thinks that you are one of the strongest in my team. But you also know that is not true. In fact, except for Aron, who is not even 3 months old, you are the weakest in my team."CRIP... CRIP....Staravia shouted from the top of its lungs clearly denying Axel's statement."Oh, you think that I am lying? Then let me tell you a secret. 3 months from now, there will be Blaze family Pokemon competition where you will be fighting against someone of your own rank.So, you will fight against Magnemites, Wartortle, and my sister's Wartortle. Do you think that you can beat any of them? If you are so sure then why don't you have a spar with anyone of them?", suggested Axel.Cripp.. Crip....It bowed its head down saying that it didn't want to spar with them. Even though Gandiva was arrogant and wanted to show that it was the strongest, it knew that it was very weak. It had seen those Magnemites and Wartortle training and it could clearly tell that it was not a match for them."So, what do you think would happen after 3 months when you get instantly defeated by them? Won't your reputation hit all-time low? Is that what you want?", asked Axel.CRIPP.. CRIppp...Staravia shouted saying that it cannot let that happen. It had made a good impression with the team telling that it was the strongest and now it cannot tell that it was the weakest.Staravia gave a long sigh. Why did it have to act so mighty? Now, it had to train hard to prove to them that it was not lying. It had to make a solid place in Axel's team. But was that even possible? With only 3 months, it didn't know if it could bridge that gap."Oh, you think that you cannot bridge the gap in such a short time?", asked Axel.Staravia nodded."Don't worry. If you follow all of my advice, then you will surely beat all of them."Crip... Crip....It asked if that it true then it should be the same for other Pokemons in his team too. Won't they grow at the same rate? Where was its competitive advantage?Axel was surprised by its analysis. It was very intelligent. Its passive 'Intellect mind' was coming in handy."You are right. I will not be discriminate any of you. But you do have a competitive advantage....."Axel then told it about the power of the system and how he could see its stats."You have a passive move called 'Struggle bug'. This passive move would let your potential be on the lower side but if you struggle and train hard, not giving up, your stats would increase by a very high margin. None of my Pokemons have such a powerful passive move.So, if you really follow everything that I say and then is a good chance that you will become very powerful in these 3 months.", said Axel.Staravia was shocked. It didn't know that it had such an ability. Did it believed Axel completely? Obviously no. But it had to give this passive move a chance. It this is really true then it would be able to keep its reputation."So, are you ready for it?", asked Axel.Crip.. Crippp..."Ok good. Before we start to train seriously, I must give you some information on how to get stronger. If you can understand it then, in the future, you can train for yourself and I will not even have to interfere."Staravia's eyes lit up after hearing this. If this was really true then the information was a gold mine.Axel began to talk about its weak body and how it could become strong."These are the list of vitamins and medicines. You also have to consume the momo-milk. Also after training for long hours, you have to have a medicinal bath to recover.The more you train and exhaust your body, the more the effect of all these resources."Axel also told it about infinity energy and how theoretically, a Pokemon could use all the elements. They just had to train on it and have proper theoretical knowledge of it. Axel also told it about its weakness and the weakness of every typing."You are weak to electric, ice and rock types. An electric type is weak to...... So, if you want to counter the electric, ice, and rock type Pokemons, you need to have corresponding typing moves that they are weak against. This is the basic but there are other ways to counter them too. Like, if you have a proper strategy and if you are way too powerful than them."Axel also told it about move mastery and making new moves and how his talent was perfect for it."If you are in my team, then you will grow stronger than any other Pokemons. That is one of the benefits of being on my team.", said Axel with a smile.By the time they completed the theory sensation, it was already late evening."Don't train now. We will start from tomorrow. Remember what I have taught you.", said Axel.Staravia's mind was filled with making all the strategies that it could. After 3 months, it would be facing Magnemite and it knew that it needed a good ground move to counter it.It went to the internet with the help of Agnes and looked at all the ground type moves that it could learn and it was disappointed.The only ground type move that its species could learn was 'sand attack' and this only lowered the accuracy of the target.It realized that those 'Magnemites' were going to be a challenge for it. So, it started to look at all the ground type moves and thought about it.Axel had said that with enough training and knowledge, Staravia could learn any moves. So, it was hopeful.After researching for sometime, it came to 4 ground type moves that it could learn.Mud bomb Mud shot Mud sport Mud-slap.Staravia then started to think about which move it should learn. First of all, 'Mud bomb' and 'Mud shot' were difficult moves to learn and it thought that this would take some time which it didn't have.'Mud sport' was exactly what it needed right now. While using this move, electric-type moves would be ineffective against it. But that was only possible if this move was properly mastered. Staravia knew that it could not do that in 3 months. Besides, while using this move, the user would have to cover its whole body with mud which would not only decrease its speed but also make itself look ugly.How can it look ugly in front of so many people?So, it decided to learn the move 'Mud slap'. 'Mud slap' was a beginner version of 'Mud shot' where the user would slap the mud on the target which would damage them and also lower their accuracy.It had a lot to do now to keep its reputation but now it knew that it needed to rest. So, it went to its bed, covered itself in a blanket, and closed its eyes.###As Axel woke up, he took his shower, got ready, and then went to the training ground. He was surprised to see Staravia training in the training ground. It was only 5 a.m. right now. He had woken up an hour before today and had not expected to see anyone training.It was flying high in the sky and then it would go down and then slap its wings."So, you have started to train, huh? What are you doing?", asked Axel.Crip... Crip...."So, you are starting to learn 'Mud-slap'. But that is not how you train. Rather training this way would take some time for you to learn this move.", said Axel with a smile.His plan had worked and Staravia was finally taking the training seriously.Axel went on to how to train the move."You cannot learn the move by just flapping your wings. You need to harness ground-type energy to use the move.", said Axel.Axel then started to properly train the move. Staravia had a lot of things to do and achieve but since it was excited to learn this new move, Axel didn't want to interfere.Axel then sat on the ground in a yoga position and then closed his eyes. He was meditating and also training on one of the soul arts.There were mainly 2 soul arts that he was focusing on.First was the one to make his soul stronger and increase its defense. The user would have to be inside the meditation and master in meditation in such a way that they could have lucid dream. And in a dream, they need to train.Axel had yet to reach the stage where he could manipulate his dream but he was not worried about it. Such a thing would take some time.The second soul art was the art of making his Pokemons stronger. Since his Pokemon were now connected with his soul, he first needed to increase the capacity of his soul to connect multiple Pokemon and he could also passively make their soul stronger.He also needed to focus on his aura techniques and also need to reach higher ranks. When he fell from pseudo-king rank to rare rank, he could already feel the things that were constricting him.He knew how to reach elemental ranks and he was going to do it as soon as possible."So, you have woken up, huh?", came a voice from behind.Axel turned around and said, "Red, please train me."---A/N: If you are loving this story, please subscribe to my pat-reon channel.
