Starter

In the North of Duke city after crossing other Dukedoms resides a very big city.

Like Duke city it also has palaces in different position with biggest in the middle and then size decreases as go away from center.

Imperial City!!

This majestic city is very developed from others, just looking at it people can say Duke city is like small town compared to it.

King resides here with royal family and a lot of nobels with highest ranking and even some Dukes also reside here.

This city also has large place compared to a Duke city only assigned to a academy.

Imperial Academy!!

This is most prestigious academy present in the Kingdom. Most talented people come here to learn. Every student wants to learn from this college , even students from other kingdom's come here to learn , of course they have there reason to join this imperial academy instead of imperial academy of there own kingdom.

This academy is not only open to nobels but it's also for common people.

Only talented ones can join this college and talent and hardwork is the only criteria as the education is free here.

Common people see this as a goal they need to achieve in their life which can change their families fate.

It also has very big dormitory where all people need to stay while they are attending the college. The size of the place you are reciding of course based on the money you are giving to college, even though education is free and even recedence is free it's just small room, if you are not satisfied you can have big room with giving money.

This is the way of imperial College of making money and having high respect from all at same time as all nobels who attend mostly don't like to stay in same size room as people without rank and pay the money.

In one of such big rooms a serious discussion was going on.

A young man was sitting on a chair and was inquiring the two people who were standing in front of him.

"So you are saying that Turtwig was given away to someone outside the imperial family by old king? "

"Yes prince"

"But wasn't that Turtwig a blue one how can he gave it to outsiders"

"That we are still not sure about"

"Find out that, also these days who came to meet old king? "

"We don't know much as most of his meetings are in secret but we have seen the old Duke from South came to greet old king yesterday, he also met with the king"

"Old Duke of Decimus? "

"Yes he is the one"

"But doesn't he travels a lot of time, I even heard he is old rival of old king why did he need a Turtwig now? "

"Yes he travels a lot but I heard he comes back 5-6 years for visit, as for the Turtwig I think it's mostly for his family but I need to investigate more for confirmation"

"Ha... what a waste!!, I was expecting if I can get blue one this time, even if I am 8th prince of this kingdom I still hadn't got any blue pokemon with 2 evolution yet"

"It really is rare to find blue ones, the pokemon with 1 evolution even if they are blue it doesn't make them stronger than some high quality green pokemons but blue 2 evolution!! , how can he just give it someone outside of royal family"

"Prince what is your order? "

"Just find the information first , if it involves old king and old Decimus Duke then we can't make moves carelessly and even if I don't take any action others who were eyeing on that pokemon will take action eventually"

"Dismiss now!! "

"Ok"

---------

I returned into my room where my mother was still sitting there waiting.

"So you are back how was the meeting? "

"Yes.. it was really good!!! I even got a starter!! "

"Oh!! That's wonderful, let's see"

She was also surprised hering this.

"Yes let's see I also didn't saw it yet"

I took out the small pokeball from my pocket and released the pokemon.

"Turtwig!! "

A very small turtwig appeared , it was really small compared to the starters I have seen. Not only that but it was radiating a very bright color which was almost dark blue.

A blue!!!! A blue Turtwig how did he take a blue pokemon from old king!!

I glanced at my mother who was also startled seeing the Turtwig , but quickly she composed herself.

"That's quite Turtwig you got there Rex!! "

Saying this she went to the Turtwig and picked it up and started rubbing parting his head.

"Turt.. Turtwig"

Turtwig who looked uncomfortable at first also started relaxing.

Wait!! Why are you changing the topic , why were you so surprised seeing the Turtwig??

"You are really lucky Rex, your Grandfather just came after meeting his old friend and he also has very strong tortera then this must be his descendant and will be very powerful!! "

She was telling with happy smile still rubbing her hands on that poor thing's head who again started feeling uncomfortable.

"But it's very small in size"

"Yes , it is in baby stage. You wouldn't have seen any pokemons yet in baby stage. They will have small size and then will grow to there normal size with time."

"Then does it know any attack, we can try asking it to show us!! "

I asked excitedly and wanted to see the attacks.

"No it's still in baby stage, it doesn't even know attacks yet. "

"But I thought all pokemons know attack when they are born"

"Yes but it is after they cross the baby stage that they can execute the attacks"

"sigh.. I wanted to see the attacks. "

I looked very disappointed like a boy who got the toy but couldn't play with it yet.

Hearing this my mother who was smiling all the time got serious expression real quick.

"Rex!! , this is not how you should behave. Pokemons are not our tools which we use to attack but are our friends which we should cherish. Pokemon strong or weak once you become there trainer you need to take care of them equally. Even if this Turtwig doesn't know any attacks you should be focusing on how you got a new friend"

"Ok mother.. "

Got scolded after long time.

Even if she remains always happy and doesn't get serious on power , status or knowledge, she is very serious about how you behave with pokemons. She doesn't want her children to misbehave with pokemons which is why I also have high respect for her. Compared to many who just want a "strong" pokemon and forget their "weak" pokemons, of course strong and weak is when they are using them.

"Turtwig... Turt... Wig"

Turtwig was still little confused didn't understand a thing about what these humans are talking about.

"Ok you take care of this I will bring food to feed it and from today onwards you are responsible for feeding it, you can take food from the pokemon food storage from the kitchen"

Saying this she handed over Turtwig to me and left the room.

"Ok"

I said while observing the little Turtwig from all sides by rotating it in different directions.

"You are my first little pet , from now on we will live our average life together!!"

"Turtwig!! "

From then on days changed, I started my first step of changing personality and stopped going out often. Many will think it's because I got pokemon recently. Training also which I did on outside stadium I started doing it in underground training of my palace, with the Turtwig also participating in the training running, jumping around, dodging obstacles, reflex training. Of course if some else sees this it will look like I am playing with Turtwig which is also true.

After a month passed Turtwig was still in baby stage but it's size has increased by seeing the progress I estimate it will take another month or so to go to next stage. Today Reiss will receive his starter from the family with him mother also went to main palace. She also invited me which I declined as I am not interested in the result.

He came back showing off his Chimchar to me proudly infront of mother. It was really powerful chimchar of green colour radiating from it. Then he showed the moves which Chimchar knew which were also same as others.

After that day he also started coming to the underground training place with his Chimchar but unlike us he only trained in the moves which is ok I guess for a starter.

Funny thing is even in this medieval era there is lot of knowledge is out there about pokemons, many people have recorded many guides on how to train your pokemon, there are also specialized guides for each pokemon present on the book. But still many just train there pokemon's attacks as they feel the other part of training which includes different exercises and trainings like running ‌, jumping etc are just boring stuff and waste of time. Many young people think this because they also race with other young people of same age and the one who invest a lot of time training attacks improves a lot more than others who don't put the same effort. Hence even if they want to do this boring exercise everyday the fear of being left behind keep them away from these.

It's common for them to think about short term gain as they don't have much experience but in long term this boring daily routine helps a lot by increasing pokemon's stat. This improvement is visible when a pokemon when it is at it's peak and has stopped growing.

When I showed Reiss my Turtwig he also watched Turtwig for some time then he lost it's interest as it couldn't do any attack ,still a baby.

We both trained daily until one day Reiss left for the academy. Even though he needs to pass entrance test first to join the academy , with a green pokemon potential it doesn't look like he will fail unless some unnatural thing happens. And even if that's the case Duke will intervene and Reiss will get the participation.

Even though academy has a high level of status if Duke requests something they need to fulfill it as it doesn't take that much effort teach one extra student but if it was a count then academy will not even respond to such a request.

As time passesed, 2 months after I got Turtwig while we were training it just stopped and went into an mysterious state as if meditating. I knew what was going on.

"It's finally time, it is going to the next stage"

This happens only during baby stage when it's body reaches a threshold it gets it's inherited memories of the attacks it can do.

I stayed there waiting for it to end. I less than 5 mins it regained it's consciousness.

"Turtwig? "

"You are back did you get any skills? "

"Turtwig?? "

"? Did you got any attacks? "

"Turtwig??? "

What? Why didn't it showing me it's attacks?

"Can you please.... Show me... Your attacks.... "

I started doing attacking action while telling turtwig so it will know.

"Turtwig???? "

Turtwig still looked confused.

It didn't know any attacks!!!! How can this be, it is a blue potential pokemon!! And not even that I have never heard or read any case where a pokemon didn't know any attacks. Even the weakest of the weak have at least one attack!!. Does it not know even tackle or bite , I still don't understand the difference between normal actions like tackling , biting and learned attacks of tackle and bite isn't it just matter of strength or something else also there. Hmm now that I think about it bite was dark type attack so forget bite I will focus on tackle!!.

"Ok come here"

I took the Turtwig towards the targets which were place on other side of training ground.

This training ground even in underground was very specious most probably build by strong ground, steel and many other pokemons. It's walls were resistant to any attacks. Even if Veteran level pokemon attacks in one attack it can't break the walls , of course king level can break through this like piece of paper.

I went to the targets which were of the lowest quality. This was the target we trained before while training I wanted to know the difference between normal tackle and attack tackle so I many times asked Turtwig to do tackle to see the training progress and check how much power it generates.

Unfortunately It didn't even move the target of course the target is for advance level pokemons. The problem was not the attack power but using normal tackle Turtwig hurts himself with the impact. That is the difference!! . With Skill attack pokemon doesn't take damage unless other pokemon has attacked. So now I wanted to see if it really doesn't know tackle or is just confused.

As I explained to Turtwig, it got ready.

"Now Turtwig use tackle !! "

With the command Turtwig's eyes rolled upwards and with a boost it started crazily running towards target, with each step it started gaining speed more and more speed. Even though Turtwig has less weight the momentum it was carrying was on whole another level.

Yes!!!! It is running lot faster than yesterday and momentum and power is also great so it really knows tackle!!!

As the Turtwig reached the target it took a jump to give a hit in the middle and made the impact.

"Dong...... "

The impact bent the in the middle and Turtwig who backed some distance with impact came to it's normal state.

"Turtwig turtwig?? "

I didn't give any attention to it , it always looks confused, dumb Turtwig.

I went and checked that target.

So much power!!! It's an advance level target, even if an intermediate level pokemon uses it's most powerful attack then only it can bend it like this..

I looked at the Turtwig, I was still surprised.

Is it because it's blue..... It also doesn't look hurt at all by recoil so I can confirm that it knows tackle. Let's try something different.

I went back to my position said.

"Now Turtwig use bite!! "

"Turtwig? "

"Ok.. ok I will show you how to do that"

I checked just in case no one is seeing me. Mostly no ones comes here just few times servant comes to clean the place. Even mother is busy she only comes sometimes to see me.

After confirming no one was watching I ran towards the target which was different from the first one which was a disc , this one was a human. I went besides him and started biting on it's hands.

"Turtwiggggg.... Turt.. Wiggggg... "

"Don't start laughing it's not funny, now it's your turn to do it. "

That was so embarrassing...

Turtwig again composed itself.

"Now Turtwig use bite!!! "

This time Turtwig again started running but it's speed was very slow compared to tackle, it somehow went towards the target and started biting on it. After some time it stopped biting, it's mouth started hurting.

By just looking at it I can tell it doesn't know bite ok next one.

"Ok turtwig we will try something else

... Use razor leaf!!! "

"Turtwig?? "

"Forget it I don't have leaves to show you how it's done... Next Use bullet seed!!!! "

"Turtwig? "

I tried every attack I can remember Turtwig can do and even started using attacks of other grass type pokemons sometimes telling it how it's done but it was still failure. I even tried using most powerful attacks!!

"Use solar beam!!!!! "

"Turt..... Wig? "

"Use HYPERBEAM!!!!!!!!!! "

"TURTWIG ???????? "

"Ok ok I got it you know only tackle"

Ha.... Just tackle, but it's still ok, it was like a powerful intermediate level attack for just a beginner level pokemon. I will ask mother to get some grass type pokemons which can teach other attacks in future. First we will train with tackle I want to see how much it can improve the move....

"Now Turtwig get ready , forget everything we will just try doing tackle"

"Now Turtwig use Tackle!!!!! "

As I gave the command it again started running towards the target but it's speed.....was slower than before.. Lot slower , it was the normal speed with which it trains everyday.

After it hit the target which was not even in the middle it fell upside down with the recoil and then started rubbing his head with it's paws..

The impact was underwhelming same as everyday it was like it never learned tackle.

Why didn't he do attack tackle and did normal tackle?

"No Turtwig you are not doing it right, do as you did previously , go as fast as possible and hit with full power"

Turtwig nodded and again started running with same speed hit some different spot again with recoil it fell and started rubbing it's head.

What is happening? Is this some game or something where it can do only 10 tackles and 5 solar beams and it needs to go in pokemon center to get back the attacks? But there is no pokemon center here to check. Is there some cool down or something?

With that I went towards turtwig , started rubbing his head so that it feels comfortable and waited for 15 mins.

"Now Turtwig tackle!!!!! "

Still same.

After 30 mins...

Still same....

After 1hr...

After 2hr...

After 4hr..

Still nothing ... Was that first attack my illusion

But seeing the bent in the target I knew it was not.

Ok I can't do anything now it is dinner time will experiment tomorrow.

With that I went back.

Next day I again came started experimenting

After 16hr ... Nothing

After 20hr .... Nothing

Well in meantime we were still doing exercising and completed my reading and lunch.

After 24hr ..... Success!!!!!!!

This time Turtwig went with lot of speed towards the human like target and hit it's abdomen part..

"Donggggg..... "

Target was bent from the middle and target looked like it's bowing.

"It worked!!!!!!!!!! "

"So it's 1 day delay... How am going to win a match when it needs 1 day to do it's second move?? "

"Do I need to become one punch man or something"

Fearing I will also become bald I didn't dare to take that path.

It's really strange I have never heard about such a case either who has 1 day delay and this also doesn't make sense, currently pokemons can use any attacks whenever they want and unlimited times , of course they just need the energy to execute it. Does that mean turtwig is using whole day energy on that one attack.., it can be possible. But yesterday when I checked with medic turtwig was totally fine with complete energy?. Now that I think about it there was that strange incident also...

Analyzing the situation I was really excited about the next day..

Routine followed , next day arrived I was still waiting for the cool down to end by doing my daily tasks.

And here it comes.. ....

This time I chose the highest quality target.

"Now Turtwig see that target.... Ready...

Use Energy ball !!!!!! "

Hearing thr command Turtwig instantly went blank..... Energy started gathering in it's mouth and a green sphere with waves like pattern started forming .. After a threshold it's stopped increasing in the size and got shot like a cannon ball and hit the target in the middle.

"Doooommm... !!!!!"

This happened so fast that I was shocked by the noise.

The target looked fine as if nothing has happened but I knew the powerr... If it was that advance level target it would have shattered...

Yessssssss!!!!!!!!! I knew something was wrong with that hyperbeam... So it was really not a coincidence that Snorunt knew Hyerbeam but it has something to do with me who gave the command. Is this some kind of unique power I got with my reincarnation, it can be possible I can even see the potential of pokemons , hmmm but I need to confirm again with some new attacks to come to an conclusion.

Hmm... Just as I was thinking about this I also realized something looking at turtwig

Wait.... If it really is because of me then this Turtwig really doesn't know any attack ??????

"Turtwig? "
