Gandiva the Arrogant

Pokemon POV starts,

The training ground was large and all the Pokemons of Axel were there. Even the younger ones like Wartortle and Magnemites were there. They were obviously not going to be a part of this tide battle but Axel had taken them here.

Only Arron was with his family in the Hakone City. Unlike Wartortle and Magnemites, it was still just a baby and it could not handle the psychological pressure of the tide. Only seeing and hearing about the tide might destroy its mental peace.

So, Axel didn't bother to bring it here.

Gandiva flew just near the edge of the training ground and it started to observe. Just by looking at all of them, it could say that there was already a hierarchy that had already been set here. These Pokemons had their own eco-system.

Gandiva must be truthful and the truth was that it didn't know who was the strongest here. It was just a common-rank Pokemon. It didn't even know the species name of most of these Pokemons. This was the first time it had seen so many unknown Pokemons. It could not sense the power level of these Pokemons but it could clearly tell that even though there was a hierarchy here, they were all living here in harmony.

As it was observing them, Gandiva didn't know but others like Shedinja, Charizard, Alakazam, Gogoat, and Nidoking were also observing it. They were just not doing it in the open like Gandiva.

Finally, Flappy the Pidgeot also saw it and it came close to it.

"Hey, aren't you the kid who Axel wants to be on the team but you are trying to play hardball to get? What is your name, kid?", asked Flappy in an authoritative voice.

"Hmph, I don't have the duty to tell you my name. A wet bird like you don't even have the right to ask for it and even if you are so desperate to ask for my honorable name, shouldn't you introduce yourself first? Is this how you talk to your possible elders?", snarled Gandiva.

Even Marcus who was the most calm Pokemon in the entire group was surprised by the attitude of this young Pokemon. This Pokemon's attitude was touching the heaven but even its head could not touch the floor. It was only a common rank Pokemon and it was talking to a king rank Pokemon like this?

Where did it get its confidence from?

Everyone was thinking the same thing. This kid would die from just a flap of one of the wings of Flappy but it was confident for some unknown reason.

"Hey, looks like, after Flappy and Togetic, we are getting another interesting character.", mumbled Charles to Meg.

Charles and Meg were best buddies and they shared everything. In Axel's team, Togetic was the one with the highest level of attitude and then it was Flappy. But this young Staravia would seem to cross both of them in the future.

Even though others considered it to be arrogant, it was doing this on purpose. It had no interest in making such a powerful Pokemon angry. It knew that Flappy was the flying type specialist in Axel's team. There were other flying-type Pokemons like Charles but Flappy was the one that focused on flying type.

So, in the future, it would naturally be rivals with it if it was going to join the team. If it became docile and obedient with Flappy then it would be docile and obedient its entire life. It had to set the hierarchy from the beginning.

"Ohhh? From where did you get so much confidence? Do your species eat dream fruits in the wild to think that you are at the top of this world? If you are so confident then why don't we have a spar? I would love to know how good you truly are?", asked Flappy smiling. It was truly angry this time.

Flappy considered itself as the queen of the group and even though Gandiva was a male, it wanted to teach it a lesson.

"Oh you want to fight with me and show your meager powers on display?", asked Gandiva.

"Yes, I want to show my meager powers to a god like you.", replied Flappy.

"But you are not qualified for that. My time is too precious. Since I am a bit free right now, I will challenge the strongest Pokemon here today and I don't think that you are the one.", said Gandiva with perfect confidence.

ROAARRRR

Flappy had this nonsense and it flapped its wings very strongly. This was a not move that it had used but just from anger. The power of the wind generated from that was so high that Gandiva had to do its best to remain steady. It had to control its wings and also its body to remain flying and those powerful winds were not even directed at it.

This was the difference between a king rank and a common rank Pokemon.

"Flappy!! Clam down. He is just trying to make you angry and you are playing on his fingertips.", came a voice and Flappy immediately calmed down.

It turned towards Shedinja and said, "But boss, this kid is too arrogant. I will teach it a lesson."

"No, you will not. You need to calm down. Is this how you can become the fastest Pidgeot? Go cool off and you, kid. Yes, I am talking to you. There is no one who is the strongest right here.

Everyone here is the master of their own specialty. Like Meg here is better than me in tide battles but I am better than it in single battles.

Is that answer enough for you?"

"Yes, it is enough.", said Gandiva and decided to return.

"Hey, kid. You asked who is the strongest here. Boss is the strongest right here. So, why don't you fight with him?", asked Flappy. It clearly wanted Gandiva to suffer.

"No, I have already spent my most valuable time. I will be going now.", said Gandiva, and then went on its own way.

Fighting with the strongest king-rank Pokemon in Axel's team? What a joke. It might not even be able to defeat the weakest Pokemon.

But now it had come to understand that it was very weak. Yes, it had some secrets but if these Pokemons didn't have their own secrets they would not have reached such a stage.

But right now, it wanted to determine whether following this man was the right choice. Watching the team, it could tell that Axel was not a bad trainer. It had been observing those Pokemon for half an hour and no one complained about Axel.

But for some reason, it didn't want to join Axel right now. It had just come out of forest jail and it wanted to explore.

"Marcus, what do you think about that bird?", asked Gogoat. It was really curious about it.

"I feel that Gandiva is very intelligent for its own good. Axel said that it is around 4 years old but it has still not fully evolved and is still a common rank Pokemon.

Our mind doesn't develop fully until we reach king rank Pokemon but Gandiva is different. I can clearly tell that it was trying to know if Axel was a good trainer. It also wanted to make a place in the team.

Other than that, I cannot say anything about its fighting capabilities."

"Hmm, I also feel the same. I think that if it is able to come to the team then our team will develop at a rather fast pace.", added Gogoat.

"Axel always has had a weird taste in Pokemons. It doesn't have a good potential but that doesn't really matter to us and in the long run."

Pokemon POV end

###

As the Pokemon were discussing the new potential team member, Axel was sleeping quietly inside his bedroom. He had a habit of waking up even at the pinch of sound. This was trained forcefully after he had to spend a lot of time in the forest during his earlier years.

So, when the night came and then the day Pokemons retired to take a rest, there was silence in the surrounding. Axel woke up after that. It was already evening and the night raid was going to start.

Axel went to his office and asked Ashmita about the day battle data.

"Sir, there have been no deaths so far. Some of them are injured but not seriously injured. They could heal in a couple of days and some of them might take a week. Some of the Pokemons on the Arbiter team did suffer heavy injuries but none of them died."

"That is a great result. Keep it up. Make sure that the soldiers get enough rest. Especially the teleportation team. By the way, did they do a good job?"

The teleportation team was something that was made just a month before the tide battle and it was a crucial team if Axel wanted to have no deaths on the north side.

"I will do so."

"It is now time to switch the teams. Make sure that it would be done in 30 minutes and then tell Alon, and the 2 others to be ready.", said Axel.

"Are you going to participate in this battle too, sir?"

"It will depend on the situation. Let's see."

###

The ghost team of Alon had the highest motivation. They had done the secret mission with Axel and made many contributions. So, they were highly motivated for this day.

"Alon, you know the way it is done. I want the night raid to be finished as fast as possible. But make sure to keep the safety in check. If you need any help, I will be there.", said Axel.

###

At the start of the night raid, the dark and ghost-type Pokemons were attacking at a slower pace and there was no news of any king-rank Pokemon. The dream team was doing their things wonderfully and the teleportation team and the healing team were also doing their job.

These were the only two teams that were needed during the day and also at night.

Alon and the other 2 commanders were doing their job very well. The difficulty of the tide battle compared to previous tide battles had decreased a lot because Axel now had 100 captains that had king-rank Pokemons. This was a huge deal.

The difference between a pseudo-king rank and a king-rank Pokemon was huge. It was a big leap and now the captains would use a king-rank Pokemon against a pseudo-king rank Pokemon.

These captains use their king rank Pokemons not only to fight the pseudo-king rank Pokemons but also to control the overall battlefield and help their juniors.

The commanders had also leveled up their Pokemons and they at least had 2-3 king-rank Pokemons. Krishna had a pseudo-champion rank Pokemon. So, Axel could now delegate the responsibility in the fight.

After a few hours, the battle that was going on at a slow pace suddenly changed instantly.

Axel got a message that 2 king-rank Pokemons had shown up and one of them was even a tier 2 king-rank Pokemon.

Now, a tier 1 king-rank Pokemon was not something Axel would look at seriously but a tier 2 king-rank Pokemon was a different story.

"It looks like I will have to step up.", said Axel and went out of the office.
