Fiery flying type

It was early morning and I was summoned by Captain Carr to start my training for the next week. He was waiting outside the base with his Grumpig, he smirked at my new look and nodded.

I thought for a long time yesterday regarding my identity. I can't just roam in the outside world with the same face as a Team Rocket member, so I had to come up with something to avoid getting caught by the league. Ditto is out of my choice because they are as rare as pseudo legendaries, the only solution was to wear a mask.

I requested the Captain to provide a mask which he complied immediately. I wore a jacket which has a hoodie to cover my hair while the mask covered the face. The mask was plain dark black that matched my jacket colour while the shorts I wore were military green. Although people can notice me during the daytime, the outfit gives me a good camouflage during the night.

The only once who have a clear idea regarding my appearance are Gregory, Duke, Captain Carr and maybe Shawn but rest others barely noticed me. If I can kill that bastard duke then I can roam freely in the open world without any issues.

I greeted the captain as I approached closer, "Good morning captain, I am ready to go."

"Good, the others will get teleported with the help of other psychic Pokemon so let's go."

I nodded at that and Grumpig immediately touched both of us, the surroundings became twisted and the next second I was in a completely new environment. My head was a bit dizzy but it was better than the last time, I think I can get used to this in two or three teleports.

We were in front of a gigantic base, it was similar to the monasteries on Earth. This base had a huge 'R' logo on its top and there was a massive Beedrill statue made out of some metal which I couldn't recognise. It would have looked intimidating if not for the visible wear and rust on the statue.

"It was the main base of Team Rocket before the boss took over. Boss's mother was the leader at that time, we abandoned this island ten years ago and use it only for training purposes. This is the first time this island is being used in the last three years so the Pokemon around would have grown reasonably," said the Captain.

"Good but may I know who our Boss is?" I asked with curiosity even though I knew the answer.

"Jay, there are some questions that shouldn't be asked until the boss himself reveals the identity to you," he said seriously.

I nodded at that and we both entered the base. The interior looked a little dusty and worn out, I could see the damaged patches on the walls while the floor surprisingly looked clean. We moved to the counter for registration, Carr told me about the official registration that needs to be done before we start the trial.

There was a short guy at the counter who looked quite old, he greeted the captain with reverence while looking stunned by my attire.

"Bob, this is one of the candidates that will start the final trial, take his details and send him to the respective zone," Carr then turned to me and said,

"I will meet you after the trials so do well, see you."

He just walked away to the top floor using the stairs. There was silence for ten seconds before the old man Bob started talking,

"I will be taking a retina scan and fill the data into the base records so please cooperate."

I agreed to that and Bob took out a device from the drawer which looked similar to an i-pad, he then brought it closer to my eye for a scan, the sudden blue rays that came out almost blinded me. He then looked at the device while nodding, he went behind the drawer to upload my data into the system.

"Now, you need to answer my questions while I input the info in, alright?" he asked.

"Sure go ahead."

"Tell me your name, orphanage or any prior affiliations with Team Rocket members and finally the Pokemon you have." He asked.

"Viridian orphanage and no affiliation with team rocket members. My current pokemon are Sandile and Electrike."

I pause for a second and then stated my name, "Raven, my name is Raven."

I don't know why I said that but that was the name that came to my mind. I wanted a different name for my team rocket identity so I thought of all the names possible since yesterday, but yelled out a completely different name.

He finished filling the data and asked me to wait while he walked into the adjacent room. I waited for around five minutes before he came back with a small fanny pack and other items in hand.

"This pouch is given to Agent ranked trainers, it has an inbuilt minor spatial tech, that has more space than it seems to be. Take these pokeballs and potions, you can come back and exchange for money if you catch any rare or talented Pokemon. I will explain in detail when you return with something valuable, understood?"

I nodded at that and collected all the items, the fanny pack was black and fit perfectly around my waist. I put all the pokeballs and potions into it, I was surprised by the technology as space inside was comparable to a cubic metre.

"Now, you are assigned to Zone 8 and you can do whatever you want inside it except for killing the other members. Two others will join you in an hour or so, you can wait or leave now," said Bob. he went back to his work after that.

I immediately walked out and went to the gate that said Zone 8, unlike the previous island, these zones contain all-region Pokemon so I have a lot of options to catch from.

I need a Pokemon that's strong against grass types because that's the only type that can counter my team. Electric and Ground-type attacks are not that effective against grass types, so I need to catch a Pokemon that's fire, ice, poison, flying or bug type. I doubt if there are any ice types here and poison type is an immediate no for now, all the poison types that are good enough are rare so I doubt if I can find any.

So my choices are Fire, bug or flying. I summoned both Electrike and Sandile, I explained to them the whole situation and they gladly agreed to help. I am rooting all my hopes on Sandile here as he is the luckiest here.

[Bro you don't need to worry, I will find you a fiery fire type.]

"Let's go deep enough and then start the search. We shouldn't slack off while we are at it, today we will mostly hunt for talented Pokemon and then we will start the training."

[Sir, I have no issues either way.] said Electrike in her cute girly tone.

I bent down and rubbed her head affectionately making Sandile growl. I ignored him and said,

"Let's move ahead, this zone looks less dense than the previous zones. I think there will be more open fields for practice, keep in mind that we have to go back to the base for money so it's better not to go deeper."

Sandile burrowed himself while I and Electrike walked side by side. We were ambushed by rattatas and zigzagoons at first but it got worse as we went deeper, it was annoying to search for a good pokemon like this, so I used my psychic aura like before to keep the wild Pokemon at bay.

I wanted to catch my third Pokemon and then start the training because I wanted more time to train the third Pokemon. We wandered for around three hours and then took a break to eat, on the way we hunted Sentrets which solved our meals for today.

"Sandile you search north while I go towards west, we will meet at the same spot in two hours. If you find any Pokemon grouped, you come and inform me, understood?"

[Sure Bro, my main targets are fire type because they will be a good addition to the team.]

"Bastard!!!! I know why you want fire type on the team when compared with bug or flying. Bugs can wreck your case while the other type is immune to your ground moves."

He hurriedly dug a hole in embarrassment and went north while Electrike laughed at Sandile's antics.

[Sir, we will search for bug and flying types because Sandile will ignore them without a doubt.]

"Sure, I have no hope though. We should try to catch whatever we find so that we can exchange them for some money. I want Tm's so that you guys can improve the moveset."

We both strolled around for some high potential Pokemon, most pokemon here were in the initial stage of intermediate rank. My improved psychic powers can intimidate any Pokemon that is below the mid-stage of advanced rank, anything above will be impossible to handle.

Electrike was battling any Pokemon that's around level 20-23 while I scared the other ones. After an hour walk, I was very discouraged as I couldn't find a single pokemon that has a yellow potential. All were red or orange ones, I hope Sandile is doing well unlike me.

After 10 minutes of another search in my irritation, I finally found something worthy. It was a replica of baby Zebra from Earth,

-----------

Blitzle(M)

level: 21

Type: Electric

Height: 2' 5"

Ability: Lightning Rod

Characteristic: Adamant

Potential: Yellow(High Grade)

Moves: Charge, Shock Wave, Flame Charge.

Egg Moves: Takedown.

-----------

It was leisurely eating the grass around as we silently moved towards it. An adamant nature with the potential of evolving into Green grade can get me a lot of money. It even has an egg move which is a bonus for me.

[Electrike, startle it with a quick attack and give a strong headbutt, don't use any electric attacks.]

[Understood sir.]

Electrike dashed forward with a high speed and hit the poor zebra on its belly. Giving no time to recover, Electrike passed between his legs and tackled him with a strong headbutt under his chin. The poor Blitzle was hit with full force like an uppercut, he passed out cold because of the critical hit.

"Nice Job girl." I threw a Pokeball and then collected it safely. I took out an oran berry and fed the little princess as a treat, Electrike did a clean job without any issues. If it was Sandile, he would have gone for some showy move bewildering the Blitzle to flee for sure. The moment I thought of Sandile, I heard a new telepathic message

[Bro help!!!!!! this weird pokemon is chasing me no matter what, I tried using dig to escape only to be found out again.]

I looked behind only to see a small tiny bird chasing and Sandile digging his way through like a Diglett.

"Electrike hurry up and use thunderbolt."

"Trike Electrikeeeeeeee."

Electrike used thunderbolt on the poor robin astonishing it completely. I thought they were joking when they said 'all pokemon can be found on this island'. I mean this is the first time seeing a Kalos Pokemon since I came here.

I thought it will be over after that super effective thunderbolt but the tiny bird seems to not give up as it got up and stared straight at Electrike. I felt like I almost saw a happy grin on the pokemon's face as it charged towards Electrike with its beak shining.

"Electrike use headbutt to take it on, let's see if it can survive after this," I said as Electrike used headbutt, both Pokemon collided with full force.

'Bammmmmm'

Electrike was pushed back two meters as the opposing fletchling was smashed into a branch behind it. I was impressed by its performance so I used appraisal... but before I see the info, Fletchling got up and flapped its wings once as white feathers fell over.

'Was that roost??? I thought Talonflame line learn it later like in level 40s'

[Bro, it's a waste of time. I battled it for three times already and couldn't escape as it kept chasing no matter what. It's better to catch it with a Pokeball and finish it.] said Sandile.

"Fletch Fletchling" the tiny bird started talking to me. I did not understand what exactly that meant but could figure out that it wanted a good battle.

"Alright then, let's get serious. Electrike, use Snarl and then quick attack."

Electrike made a weird noise which produced a dark aura that hit the flying type, the small bird showed a determined expression as it produced insignificant wind by flapping its wings rapidly. It did that for almost ten seconds while it took the quick attack from electrike without dodging.

It was sent back with a decent impact but it still kept flapping the wings at a faster rate, I sensed some weird breeze around which made it seem like Fletchling was flying faster... No!!!! it did become faster. The speed almost doubled, then it summoned flames around it while escaping the thunderbolt from Electrike.

"Electrike standby, I am sure it's almost at zero stamina. Just be ready with a thunderbolt."

Sandile said he fought three times so it should already be tired. You can't just use roost to heal yourself endlessly as it consumes a lot of energy.

Fletchling dived towards Electrike trying to hit her with flame charge, electrike waited till the last second and unleashed a full charged thunderbolt.

As the thunderbolt hit the poor bird, Flame charge almost made through but Fletchling fainted with exhaustion at the last moment to end it.

I threw the Pokeball to catch it as I know how deadly a Talonflame can be. I did not appraise it as I had the confidence about the potential. Ordinary Pokemon can't battle Sandile and Electrike this long.

There was no resistance as the Fletchling was caught safely. I took a closer look at the Pokeball and used appraisal...
