Pokemon - A Mystical Journey

Then he toss the coin in the air and the final result was heads. And he headed towards the Mt moon . For pewter there were two ways shorter one through Mt moon and longer one through the forest surrounded it. He chose the longer route as it could give him time to train his Pokemon and it was much safer for the pokeegg to keep safe. Also the other reason was he was not strong enough to pa.s.s through it safely. So taking into account the time taken to reach the pewter city he stock his inventory for a month travel as he decided to train in the way.

As he started heading for about two hours trekking he stood at the clearing and called out Gastly. And said ,"Well ghastly let"s see what moves do you know. " After hearing it"s trainer it used all the moves it knows such as

"Hypnosis"

"lick"

"night shade"

" confuse Ray"

and lastly

"poison gas"

" well ghastly all are good moves for you" hearing this ghastly smiled ," but they are too amateur . You should know all are ghost moves and won"t work on normal type and only poison will work. so we should try moves which are practical too so we will work on your psychic and poison power. " You use poisoning on the tree. Hearing it it used poison gas seeing a purple fog heading towards the tree . After impact there was nothing happening except a few dry leaves falling.

"Well your poison aren"t that strong too." Hearing this ghastly was angry as it was one of the strongest among all the Pokemon in the starter package. Seeing him angry, Alex explained," Well it might work but think about stronger ones the more you fight the more one gets resistance to that move. So if we fight a Pokemon which had experienced poison it will be comparatively less effective. Ghastly if we want to reach the top we should not think about mediocrity think of abnormal things. Well first we will camp here and you should try to stimulate you poison core meaning dense it with poison to do so there are two ways I could think of , Do you wanna hear it" and after hearing it"s trainer talking it too agree to it having defects so given the opportunity of increasing it"s power it excitedly nodded it"s head.

" Well the first way was have poison surrounded your poison core in the body densen it increase it"s toxicity by feeding on poison or things having toxic matter well this is quite costly though." as Alex said. While ghastly looked at it"s trainer amazed to know such methods of training and vowed to listen to his commands while Alex thought," I got it from battle through heavens for how yi xian" .

"And well the second method is quite b.l.o.o.d.y and ruthless and it is the most effective way too. and it will help you get some battle experience too." Seeing Alex looking at him seriously he thought for a while but later agreed as in the world weak are eaten by the strong. This is the current way of the world, so it agreed." Well the way is you devour the poison present in the body of poison type pokemon and by integrating their core in your by doing so you increase your toxicity and make your poison deadly even to poison type themselves." After hearing this method he was too stunned as it was not killing but crippling them as without poison they lose their way of protection but still agreed.

"Well then now you should try to combat the Pokemon here nearby and so you could get battle experience and not be dull after that we should again head out." As he said they fought some Pokemon such as Rattata, Pidgey, Spearow and against all of these it fought using it"s ghost form and hiding while using poison gas to poison and defeat them. As he was doing so Alex took note of it"s action and command it as well as ask it to control it"s ghost form more as the more it control the ghost form the more it could control it"s ghost energy and it will help it to learn shadow ball easily. And after a few matches it could be a bit seamless in transaction of it"s command though not perfect but Enough. He then saw an Ekans and then ordered Ghastly," Ghastly there is an Ekans no matter what we should defeat it test that second way. Are you ready"ghastly suddenly became more determined and headed to Ekans. " Use curse" yes Gastly knew curse too." Curse , a ghost type move effective on any type which at the expense of half of Pokemon health continue to damage the opponent until the user faint in reality."After being cursed Ekans was angry and lunged towards Ghastly to bite it .As ghastly was turning to ghost form Alex quickly commanded ,"don"t do so you are not skilled in ghost energy to dodge it physically dodge and use lick to paralyse it and then use astonish." Astonish was an egg move it inherited from it"s parents though now not much research on egg move was made on this current timeline."

Ghastly followed the orders to the T and then Ekans suddenly flinched from the aftermath of Astonish and suddenly it fainted. Seeing it faint Alex was excited , ghastly too well for it"s experiment it needs a poison type and the only poison type Available in the forest were Ekans and Nidoran family and their evolved forms . Now in regards to evolved form are far from them now while the weaker form only Ekans can be used as it is solitary type while younger Nido were protected by the parents and he could not beat them now. " Now ghastly enter it"s body and devour it"s poison core and mix it with you." As ghastly started devouring the core Ekans started writhing in pain and when ghastly was out of it"s body it fainted in pain now. And now it appeared Gastly grimacing in pain . Alex encouraged it and said," Ghastly it is only the start you will later devouring more poisonous type then it and their poison may be more hurting if you could not hold in the pain then you could forget your dream. So for your dream endure." Hearing it ghastly roared and then after few minutes of enduring it responded slowed, " Ghaaa... " as if saying it did it and it too fainted. seeing it he recalled ghastly in the pokeball and headed away as he was sure it may attract some Pokemon or Ekans may attack it in anger if he stayed for what it did to him as even bite or it"s wrap was deadly to him.

As for success of the experiment it succeeded as he saw Ghastly body appearing more purplish than earlier probably from the increase in toxicity. after running for a while it once again pulled out ghastly and gave it normal energy medicine effective for all. After eating it Ghastly slowly woke and after seeing around sleepily it happily greeted Alex as it could see the second way worked and he felt stronger and excitedly without his trainers command it used poison fog on the tree nearby and this time. Some younger fresh leaves too fell and some had poison veins in them. Seeing the results they both were happy and Ghastly wanted to do more as they did to Ekans but Alex stopped him by saying," Ghastly you just acc.u.mulated the poison you still aren"t controller of it. Densen the core and become more control of your power meaning both poison and ghostly one or you could not defeat other easily. This Ekans was pretty immature in fighting or how could you a new Pokemon defeat it so. If we want to win we still have much to do so let"s continue to work and then we will do so together now rest. No don"t be overexcited. Working hard and resting is also important. Think like this as you empty your energy resting will help and then you could have slightly more energy after every cycle of rest and work . Also you should be watching over me at night while I sleep or how will I survive the night here. So Ghastly will you protect me?"

Thinking what Alex said it too agreed and just floated around as Alex pitched the tent and cooked himself food as his mother taught him before travelling. And as night came he slept with Ghastly overseeing him.

And this way the first day of the adventure came to an end.
