Chapter 39 - Training

As Ash landed in the Base the medical team and higher ups of army rushed towards them.

Southie "Take him first."

Flitzer looked at Roman who was unconscious with leg turning purple.

Flitzer "Okay boys hurry up."

"Yes sir."

And they brought two stretchers and took both of them.

Flitzer looked t Ash and spoke "Ash we don't know how to repay you."

Ash smiled and said "I don't need anything" then he spoke "Just do me a favor when I am not here during my journey protect my family."

Flitzer smiled "Good."

Ash thought about something "And I would like to return as I have not been with my mother properly for half a year."

Flitzer "You could have stayed till both of them recovers but it's okay now you should go after some food."

Ash's eyes glowed "Yes." And he rushed towards the canteen.

Flitzer laughed "Hmm he still is a kid."

And he walked towards the emergency treatment room.

Ash munched down the food and visited Green.

Green "So you are leaving."

Ash "Yup."

"Okay I will come after the clear up and take Leaf and Gary with you."

Ash "Okay and What about Brock and Misty."

Green "They will return with other gym leaders and Brock is with his grandfather and Misty is with her mother and father and sisters."

Ash "Okay I will inform them and leave."

..................................

Brock was speaking with a man very similar to him but he had wrinkles and white hair.

Harper "So how is your old man."

"He returned and is currently in the cleaning team."

Then a voice came "Hey Brock."

Brock smiled "Hey Ash."

Harper was stunned "I knew you and this monster were friends but seeing him in front of me still stuns me."

Ash smiled "Okay Brock I will be leaving today and are you coming."

Brock "Nah I will come with my father."

Ash "Okay next we will meet in Pallet Town."

Brock "Hmm."

....................................…..

Misty and her sisters were speaking with their parents and Daisy saw Ash approaching.

Daisy elbowed Misty.

Misty "What."

Daisy pointed.

Ash "Hey Misty."

Liana and Roland looked together at Ash.

Roland was stunned and spoke to Misty "Hey Misty you know this Freak."

Misty "Dad mind your language and yes I know him."

Violet "Nah that's less of it she travels with him."

Roland "Then that explains why your pokemon grew so quickly."

Misty nodded "I got to learn something from him."

Ash "Okay by the way Misty I am leaving."

Misty "Why so Early."

Ash "I have not seen Mom without worries since Half a year."

"Okay."

Ash "Meet you soon."

And he left.

Liana sighed "If you were five years younger."

"Mom I don't ever speak of this in front of him."

.......................

Ash was on Pidgeot followed by Leaf on her Pidgeot and Gary on his shiny Spearow and they left for Pallet.

Ash "Hey Gary so are you coming to the league."

Gary "Yup."

"get ready to lose."

Gary laughed "You don't know that I have found a fault in your pokemons."

Ash "What."

"Why should I tell you, you will know in the league."

"Hmm Fine and Leaf you."

"Nah I am not interested in the league I will go to Jhoto After the league."

Ash "Okay."

They reached Pallet Town after four hours.

..........................

Ash knocked on the door of his home.

Delia's voice came "Coming."

And the door opened.

"Ash!!"

"Yes Mom"

And She embraced him.

Jolteon came from inside "Hey Ash."

After a minute finally Delia leave him.

Ash gasped "Hey Jolteon *gasp."

Jolteon laughed.

Delia "okay come in and then go to Professor Oak league has sent you a gift."

"Okay Mom but now I need to eat Right Pikachu"

"Yup I was eating air now in the sky and it escaped my mouth."

Delia laughed "Okay wash up and come down."

"Okay"

..................…..

Ash again munched down the food like a beast and Pikachu was drinking Ketchup like it was the last in the world.

Jolteon "Two Foodies."

...........................

Ash then went to Professor Oak.

Ash "Hey Professor."

Oak "Hmm Ash come in."

And they went inside.

Oak then Kept a Box in front of him.

Ash "What is inside it."

"You will find out when you open it."

Ash opened the box and saw a band kept separately and forty other black stones.

Ash "What is this.���

Oak "This is strength modifier it can control the strength of your pokemon."

Ash still didn't understand it.

Oak "Okay now your pokemon have reached A rank now but you still don't have enough experience in fighting as you know that with techniques a higher level pokemon can still be defeated so use this and train and battle with other trainers with same level as them and it does not affects the growth of pokemon but it may teach them how to control their elements."

Ash "Okay I got it."

"Now take the band and wear it by it you can control the modifier and Pokemon on their own can in dangerous situations."

Ash "Okay."

Ash the kept the small black stone in front of Pikachu and Pikachu touched it and it melt.

"What."

And it climbed on Pikachu's skin and formed a belt on his neck.

Pikachu "I can't feel it."

Oak "Okay Ash now set the control to D rank."

Ash nodded and modified Pikachu's strength to D rank.

Pikachu's Aura fell down to D.

Pikachu "Except Aura everything is same."

Oak "Now attack that stone."

Pikachu used thunder bolt but it only scratched the stone.

Ash and Pikachu were stunned.

Pikachu "Is this for real."

Oak "In old age we use to find these strength reducer stones and our pokemon's strength will be reduced according to its size but now we can control it with machines."

Ash "Means if I threw this stone at an opponent his strength will also reduce."

Oak "No it can only be used by a trainer and his pokemon as it bounds to both of you after it an this way while creating moves and training you will not destroy things."

Ash "So this was the thing on Father's Umbreon."

Oak "Yes others need to purchase it but it has been gifted from the league to you."

Ash "Thanks now I will go and train."

And he ran towards Oak's Ranch and released all his pokemon and kept a stone in front of them.

Pidgeot "Ash what should we do."

Ash "Touch it."

Everyone did and the stone melted and climbed upon them and scaring them like shit.

But everyone calmed down after seeing Pikachu laughing then a belt war formed around their neck.

Venasaur "Should something happen."

Everyone looked at Ash.

Ash then modified everyone's strength at D rank and everyone's Aura fell including Ash's.

Kabutops "What our aura's fell."

Pikachu spoke something in Ash's ear and Ash increased Pikachu's strength till C rank and there were sparks around him.

Pikachu "Okay guys now attack me."

Charizard "Hmm let's see what will happen."

And he attacked with a flamethrower which was many times weaker and smaller than his real one.

Charizard was stunned "What happened."

Ash explained everyone and then everyone started to use moves.

Ash smiled and thought about something and spoke "Okay guys now we should focus on single attacks as we cannot defeat pokemons at our level with dispersed attacks."

Blastoise "That's my point."

Ash "okay now Venasaur and Pikachu.

Charizard and Blastoise,

Pidgeot and Kabutops,

Gengar and Dexter,

Raichu and Eevee

Flareon and Audino."

And everyone took their places.

.........................

Venasaur versus Pikachu.

Venasaur "Okay now I have a chance to defeat you take this leach seed."

And then he launched seeds at Pikachu.

Pikachu "First catch me Extreme speed."

And he started to dodge them.

"Wine whip."

And many vines started to create obstacles in Pikachu's path.

Pikachu "Thunder bolts."

And he deflected them.

Venasaur " Solar beam."

Venasaur started to charge but it took much time and launched it at Pikachu and he was hit.

Pikachu "Light screen and Volt bomb."

Two explosions occurred.

And two pokemons started to pant.

Pikachu "What energy restriction is also there."

And he was hit by an energy bomb while he was distracted and he fainted.

Venasaur said solemnly "Never get distracted in a battle." And he started to snore.

Other battles too occurred and all pokemons were damn tired.

Ash "Well now we have a way to train, Now take your food."

Pikachu "You made it."

Ash nodded "I learned something from Brock."

Pikachu tried it and nodded "Its good but not good as Brock."

And everyone started to munch down after a battle.

.......................

Ash "Now Guys let's train single attacks and stamina."

And this training occurred for a week and half.

Green Misty and Brock returned three days ago and they too started training but without strength modifier as a set of ten costs a million Pokemon dollars.

........................…

Ash and his pokemon were training and they suddenly felt an aura approaching and they saw a Dragonite approaching them.

Ash "It that Lance's Dragonite."

Pikachu shook his head.

And The Dragonite landed in front of them and gave a letter to Ash.

Ash opened it and a hologram appeared.

In the hologram a figure in black clothes spoke.

"Greeting's trainer I am the secretary of the Strongest trainer and strongest pokemon in the world and my boss has requested you to come to our party."

Ash "Huh strongest trainer looks like a battle before league."

The black clad person spoke "Do you accept the invitation."

Ash "Yes."

"Thank you this is the location of the party will happen."

And the Dragonite left.
