chapter 9 - Transformation of Electabuzz

Gengar's POV,

Gengar too saw the transformation of electabuzz and was inwardly shocked by this. To think such a young trainer has trained such a powerful pokemon was astonishing, to say the least. Gengar has already regarded Alex as one of the strongest trainers he saw in his hundred years of life.

The electabuzz himself was pretty young barely ten years or even younger. And to reach this level shows the talent along with the amount of hard work the pokemon has put himself through under his equally skilled trainer or else he might have left his trainer ages ago.

Earlier Gengar thought that releasing his powers a little may be enough to scare off the young trainer and pokemons and he could once again meet that interesting Haunter. Now there is someone who used himself as a stepping stone to reach a higher stage of power.

Although he was still much weaker than himself, it still needs to be said that he was used and he didn't like it a single bit. So he decided to go along with it and remind electabuzz that he is still much weaker than him.

THIRD PARTY POV,

Alex felt the increasing power of electabuzz and so he shouted at him," Electabuzz use the excess of energy to strengthen your body parts along with the tail. With a stronger body, you can fight to linger and have more places to store energy for the battle. Don't lose yourself to the euphoria of power or else you will be corrupted by it and become a slave to its power" Alex warned of the danger of losing oneself over power.

Electabuzz upon hearing his trainer glared at his trainer for interrupting him when he was feeling so great but thought of the times he spent with Alex. When he was just an elekid he would play and train along with Pidgey and Alex while slowpoke just lazed around.

The times when he guided him in his training, how he followed and trained alongside elekid when he trained physically, how he taught him various electric moves along with fist moves.

These calmed his euphoria enough to listen to Alex as he internally knew Alex won't harm him and guided the power.

As his height increased his arm and leg muscles became more contract and his arms and legs power increased significantly. His thunder control increased and a bolt of thunder rose to the sky and the original dense purple cloud turned slight yellow with it having electric currents running through the sky.

The original purple cloud which covered the entire forest and also the surrounding the nearby villages and town could see a small patch of yellow in the middle which happened due to electabuzz.

If Gengar was actively suppressing electabuzz it won't happen but because he let him be he too was able to affect the clouds. Now under the influence of the thunder gem, a massive thunder fell on electabuzz increasing his electric capacity, purifying his energy while making his energy attacks denser.

He even rose in the influence of power and became much more powerful than he was earlier. If you want to compare, the current electabuzz could take on three of his past self and this itself is great.

After all, electabuzz was able to compete with the pseudo-king level at peak elite stage. Now it won't be a trouble for him to take a few moves from peak pseudo-king. Although he can't win that level yet he can still hold them back for others to retreat.

Alex now has reached the one criteria for master trainer qualifications. Of course, he still needs to complete some missions for the league while having some Pokemons in the elite level.

For a master trainer status, other than completing a specific number of tasks all ng with leadership skills he needs to have at least one pseudo-king and four elite level Pokemons.

His Slowking and Pidgeot too are at peak elite level while his next strongest ( not including the recently caught three ghost pokemons - one at pseudo champion, one at pseudo-king and other at least an elite level), his Snorlax overall can match elite level though still being in advanced stage, his Onix, piloswine, Haunter, Espeon, Charmeleon, butterfree are either at mid-advanced to high advance level at most.

They can compete with the elite by using the elements energy in their body though only for a little time. After which they would faint similar to how electabuzz did in his fight worth Dusknoir.

This level of Pokemons can barely last a day in the Pokemon rampage situations when hundreds it even thousand of Pokemons of rookie, advanced, elite and even pseudo kings ( as leader of the hordes ) and in some extraordinary cases king level Pokemons are members of such attacks.

With Alex current line up he can barely take on one such rampage even if electabuzz hold back the leader as the number of rookie and advanced are too much for their small team to handle.

His other Pokemons like Snorlax, piloswine, and Slowking along with Alex have stepped back a little for electabuzz to complete his transformation.

The pseudo-king stage is the stage where the power of elements nourish the body of Pokemon making it more in sync with its elements and make the body strong enough to handle the next massive surge of power he might experience in the next stage upon completion of transformation.

This is why the number of the pseudo king is much more than the king. Similarly, mist pokemons in the wild are stuck at pseudo-king stage unable to advance and if in some cases they do advance they are struck in pseudo champion stage

These pseudo stages are the real barrier for the geniuses. At these stages, many get stuck their whole life. Even Agatha a genius ghost Trainer managed to only reach the pseudo champion stage after getting stuck here.

In the king and champion stages pokemons power increase over time. This leads to a massive difference in power into the pseudo and true stage wherein one body transforms and other power increases astronomically.

This is another reason why pokemons follow humans and let them served as their trainers because humans have a number of champion level pokemons in their hands compared to one found in the wild.

In the true wilderness there are many pseudo kings and only less than 5% reach king stage and after that among the ones advanced less than 1% reach champion level without a trainer or blessing from a legendary pokemon.

After finishing the transformation of the body, electabuzz has created a couple of hammers made of thunder ( under thunder control and manipulation of shape) and he smashed them together looking at the much more powerful Gengar for a battle.

All three of the older pokemons Alex has since he was young has a mentality to consider pokemons stronger than themselves as stepping stone and object to surpass.

Gengar too felt that he was being considered as a stepping stone. He too wanted to see how powerful the young electabuzz has become after this amazing transformation. He too saw the battle of his other companions when he was facing Haunter.

So he wanna see how much stronger he has gotten since then.

Both of them appeared in front of each other ready for battle.

Now the pseudo champion Gengar will face pseudo-king electabuzz. How will this battle go? Stay tuned
