Chapter 668: Shreds
"Now, now, before you blast out again, let me give you an explanation. There is literally no way that we could bring this Kingdra to the edge of the sea without a Pokeball. If you have any solution, then I am happy to listen.", said Axel to Ron.
They thought of any other ways but they could not come up with one. Axel had never realized that Pokemons that live only in the sea would have such a problem. He knew about it but never experienced it personally.
Slowemperor also asked the Kingdra if there was a way in which it could travel to the edge of the sea to which it replied like a young master from the Chinese novel.
"It says that when it wants to roam around the land, its parents would create a water hurricane and place it inside. Then they would go to land, creating destruction."
These Kingdra were stupidly powerful.
Axel then went near Kingdra and said, "We have a way by which we can take you to your home." and took out a Pokeball.
"This is called Pokeball. By using this, you will go inside this ball. Don't worry, you can breathe there and also live there comfortably.
When we reach there, I will call you out of the ball and then you will be free.
If you really want to come outside, you can come out of it. So, if you really want to do this, then we will have no problem."
This Kingdra was not stupid. It had heard stories about humans where they would capture baby Pokemons and giving them hellish training and do experiments on them.
When it heard Axel, it instantly knew that this ball was a problem. If this man didn't call it out, it would be trapped inside. But it also had no way to go to the edge of the sea. Its tribe could come here but it also knew that there would be war and countless members of its tribe would die. It didn't want that.
Kingdra had some concerns but after asking questions to Axel and Slowemperor for some time, it agreed to do it. it realized that these humans were not as bad as it had thought.
After some time and thinking, Kingdra finally agreed but it only agreed to be inside the ball of Axel. Axel was the one who had talked to it, so it only trusted Axel.
"Alright, come inside this ball.", said Axel and threw the master ball.
He could have used a Poke ball but he wanted it to feel good inside the ball. The master ball was much more comfortable for a Pokemon than Poke ball.
"Ron, how much time it would take us to reach the edge of the sea?", asked Axel.
"We are lucky. We are near to the edge of the sea. I believe that we will reach there in 2 days. But there is a problem.", said Ron while looking at the map.
"Oh, what is it?"
"If we are going to take this route then we will have to face the tribe of Flygon. Those are nasty Pokemons.", said Ron.
"Wait a minute. Flygon normally lives in a desert or a hot place with lots of sand. Why is it living near the edge of the sea?", asked Axel.
"I don't know."
This time it was Kizaru who spoke, "Ron, how much time it would take if we go through another route? I don't want to deal with Flygon tribe."
"Double the time. Around 4 days."
"Ok, we will go from there.", said Kizaru.
Kizaru didn't want to mess with the dragon type tribe. Dragon-type Pokemons are exceptionally strong and facing a whole tribe of dragon-type Pokemons would be suicide.
###
After 2 days,
Axel called out Kingdra whenever he found a body of water. Feraligatr was also interested in enhancing its senses from its red spike. So, it would go inside the water and then train on it.
Since they were very close to reaching the edge of the sea, there were many deep lakes in between.
###
Feraligatr's POV
"Today, I am going to learn how to sense inside water.", said Feraligatr to himself. It was very determined today.
It only had 3 things to do right now. The first was to sense inside the water body. The Second was to raise the level of 'Crunch' to level 40 and lastly was to raise defense and special defense to S rank. Those were the only ones left to rise to S rank.
It had also been training with Charizard to get battle experience and raise its stats. Charizard was a perfect sparring partner for Feraligatr as it was very brutal when fighting. So, it would be thrashed to the ground repeatedly. This was also one of the reasons why it was able to raise its stats so quickly.
As it went down, it started to meditate. It knew that this would take a lot of time to comprehend and it could not hurry on it. After training on sensing presence for an hour, it came out of the lake. It then went inside again to train on its move 'Crunch'.
Axel and Feraligatr had discussed how the move should be modified and it was complicated.
"Let's get into it. First of all, I need to feel the water and then manipulate it to my teeth.", said Feraligatr and then closed its eyes.
It was already under the lake. Its jaws were open and slowly the water was moving towards its teeth and covering them. When the water covered all of its teeth individually, its shape started to change but then all the water broke off.
'Sigh, let's do it again.', thought Feraligatr and resumed its training.
After training for an hour, it was very tired and it was also time to move now.
"One last time.", said Feraligatr to himself.
It went to the lake and then started the training once again for its move 'Crunch'.
This time, the water was smooth and faster than before. The water covered its teeth and then it started to change its shape into something sharper.

Ding!
Feraligatr has learned a new move. Name the move.
---
Feraligatr's POV end.
###
"Huh? What happened? A new move?"
Axel read the description of the move and he was surprised. Feraligatr had finally learned it but instead of simple modification, it was an entirely new move.
"Let's call it 'Shreds'"
Now, Axel and Feraligatr face a problem. Since this was a new move and 'Crunch' had not been leveled up, the condition was not fulfilled. So now, it had to concentrate on leveling up 'Crunch' with a different concept.
"Don't worry, we will get through there. I think you can level up 'Crunch' faster this time. Your bite force is already very scary now. We will just increase the chance of bleeding and lowering the defense of the target. That is all we will do.", said Axel with a smile.
So, Feraligatr and Aerodactyl were now training on the same thing with the same concept.
In these 2 days, Primeape had already broken all of its teeth 8 times. Axel was waiting for what would happen when it did it 2 more times. It had also leveled up its move 'Crunch' to level 40.
Meanwhile, Togetic was still trying to learn its new move. The move was not so easy to learn and after training for more than a month, Axel told it to give up for some time. Maybe it needed higher control in infinity energy to do it.
But, would Togetic give up? Of course not. So, it had been relentlessly trying to learn it.
Axel would also call out Kingdra when they found a water body. This was done for only one reason and that was to make it feel better towards him. He didn't have any inclination to catch it in the future but he didn't want it to rat out when it meets its tribe. He wanted it to have a favorable impression on him and his teammates.
After walking for another 1 day, they were very close to reaching the edge of the sea. It was night time and all of them had set up camp to rest.
"Ron, you don't look so scared now? Are you okay?", asked Axel.
For the past couple of days, Ron had been very scared to meet the tribe of Kingdra. But now all of a sudden he was calm and collected. This made Axel curious about what was in his mind right now.
"Yes, I am good. Now I am positive that nothing is going to happen to us. We are already safe."
"Huh? How did you come up with that conclusion?"
"When Kingdra starts to like someone, they release a different type of fragrance from their body. It looks like this Kingdra had started to trust you. So, the tribe would not do anything to us.
Actually, I am excited now. I have heard stories that if one were to make Kingdra happy, it would give us gifts too.", said Ron.
After hearing about it, all of them relaxed a bit. Even though they knew that nothing might happen, they were still scared by the stories of Ron. So, it came as a relief that they were going to be okay.
When Ron said it, Axel also felt relieved. He then decided to look into its stats. He had not looked into its stats for only one reason. He believed that powerful Pokemons would be able to know if he used 'Identify' on them. This Kingdra was only a rare rank but he didn't want to take the risk and anger its parents.

Axel would not say that the Pokemon was out of the world but it was still very powerful. It had brown potential which was very rare for a wild Pokemon. It also had good stats with 4k health, which was very good for a rare-rank Pokemon.
Furthermore, its ability and hidden ability were properly mastered and its move pool was also very interesting. However, that was all it had. It didn't have anything interesting. Axel had been on this journey for the past 3 years now and he had seen many unusual Pokemons with interesting stats but this Kingdra didn't have any of it.
If Axel didn't have Gyarados, Squirtle, or Shelgon, he would have thought to catch this Pokemon but he had multiple water-type and dragon-type Pokemons with him. He also had a good rooster of Pokemons for the Johto region. So, he was not so interested in catching it.
###
After a day, all of them had finally reached the edge of the sea. Axel could see that there were multiple Krabby and Shellder on the beach. He had never seen a Krabby before, so he was interested in it. One of his favorite water-type Pokemon was Krabby. He loved it when Ash used it in the anime. Its evolved form was especially very powerful and very huge.
But as per the games, its base stats were very low. For some reason, Axel believed that Kingler could also evolve further but he had not done any research on it.
He didn't want to catch another water-type Pokemon right now, so, he let it go after taking some pictures.
After that, he called out Kingdra.
"King.. Kingdra", it said as it directly went to the water.
It then started to give that same pleasant sound that it had done before. After it finished doing this, all of them waited for the arrival of Kingdra tribe.
For a minute or two, nothing happened. Axel even started to think if all of this was a lie. After a couple of minutes, the land started to shake as if an earthquake was coming. Axel could see something coming from the water far away.
