Chapter 87 - Group Battle Commence (1/2)

After 4 hours,

Axel was now with Mark talking about the rewards that they got. Mark's reward was far less than Axel. He received 4 Billion dollars as a cash reward and some resources which were not as valuable as Axel's. It may be because he was not the head researcher or the league didn't have any expectations from him.

When Mark heard what Axel had got, he was surprised. This was the biggest reward the league had given to any new researcher. But Axel had to give 70% of the rewards to the Venu family.

Axel got 50 billion Pokedollars as a cash reward. 35 billion of them would go to the Venu family as per the agreement.

Angela didn't care about the 3rd and 4th rewards and said that Axel could use them himself. But as for the items and resources, Angela wanted her part.

Axel didn't care about life orb, so he was happy to give it to the Venu family. But as for elemental gems, scope lens and lucky egg, he was hesitant. So, instead of giving 70% of the cash reward, he gave up 90% of it, as a trade for those items.

Axel now had only 5 billion Pokedollars and some change from 50 billion Pokedollars.

Axel was happy with this trade. He didn't care much about the money and 5 billion Pokedollars was still a big amount. He didn't have an immediate use for it now.

2 days were left, before his completion of 3 months. There was a tournament after 2 days and the crazies were supposed to participate in it. This was just one group battle match with the opposition party. It was like a test to see their improvement of 3 months. This battle was held every 3 months. The highest rank Pokemon a trainer could have was a rare rank. If a trainer evolved his/her Pokemon to elemental rank, he/she would graduate from this group training.

Each person in a group could only use 1 Pokemon, so obviously, Axel was going to use Nidorino. He knew that Nidorino had just ranked up to rare ranked Pokemon, so it may not be as powerful as other's main Pokemon.

But it would be a new experience for them. Losing is also a step for success. A, and B, each would use their respective rare ranked Pokemon, and as for K, he would use Pidgeottto. Pidgeotto was the strongest of K's Pokemon for now.

The group had decided that they would think of battle tactics and train their Pokemon together for 2 days. The group had trained together for almost 3 months. So even their Pokemons knew about each other. So, it was not very hard to come up with a good battle strategy.

After 1 day,

Axel woke up at 5 a.m. like usual. Today, he didn't do any training to increase his body stats and allowed his Pokemons to rest. This was because of tomorrow's group battle.

Axel had already completed 2 of his sub-quest given by the system. His body stats had reached the dėsɨrėd amount. He had unlocked his Aura. He also had 2 rare ranked Pokemon now. Gogoat and Nidorino.

Marcus was the one who trained the most with dedication. But the result of it was not as expected.

He didn't know the reason for it. Though its potential was low compared to others, Axel had thought that its hard work would compensate for it. But that was not the case.

Axel knew for the fact that every Pokemon has an advantage and disadvantage. He believed that there is no trash Pokemon, only trash trainers. With this thought, Axel had adopted Shedinja as his Pokemon and trained it.
