Chapter 178 - 58: Slowking's Transformation

Slowking is undergoing transformation which would increase his powers greatly. If it is a Pokemon battle and not a life and death case scenario, Alakazam might have let him complete the process.

For pokemons, evolution is considered sacred and will not be interrupted by other pokemons no matter what the reason, even if they die in the fight. This is their undisputed belief which is followed by all types of Pokemons, whether they be wild, tamed or raised by trainers.

No matter they were even in life and death case, they would not interrupt this sacred transformation. Even the Pokemons who are members of evil or are helping those criminal organization would not break this rule.

They have too much respect for evolution and this respect is an innate sentiment of all pokemons. This instinct cannot be changed or removed no matter what.

But if a Pokemon is breaking through the next stage of power, there is no such sacredness bubbling in them. Most would try to disrupt or end their opponent before the transformation is done or else they would be in danger.

Alakazam is similar in this regard. He sent his strongest psychic blast at the Slowking. Attack at this level won't be able to completely defeat Slowking but it would interrupt the process and may prevent his ascent in this fight.

If one couldn't ascent when they have they are going through the process, they are wounded then their chance of rise is diminished slightly.

If Slowking is stopped now then he would be injured by the blowback of this and he may have to wait about six months to try the ascent again after dealing with his wounds.

But the situation didn't become so grave. When the final round of the Tide began, Xatu was overlooking Alex so he could be transported away when he is injured and couldn't go on.

But the surprising transformation of Slowking has gained his attention and he looked at Slowking and has decided to make sure that the common protege of his fellow Alakazam and him isn't interrupted during the change.

The attack of Alakazam comes to halt, due to a barrier that appeared in front of Slowking. And the explosion from the burst of energy sent Alakazam hurling back hard and fell on the ground.

This has bought Slowking enough time to complete the transformation. Slowking sensed his power change. As a dual type of psychic and water, his powers of both elements were increased together.

Even when he was training his psychic under Alex's command, he didn't dare to slack on his water powers.

The upgrade of level is difficult for dual type Pokemons especially if the two types are restraining of one another.

For a dual type Pokemon to upgrade to the next level he needs to be increase his elemental power of all his part to the previous level.

For example, in case of Slowking. Slowking, the evolved form of slowpoke and is a water and psychic dual type.

Earlier he didn't have a problem because of his evolution. All Pokemons can reach elite level irrespective of the level to which they train their pokemons elemental power if they are trained and raised well.

But if they need want to reach the next level of pseudo king then he needs to be master both of the elemental power to the elite level, ie, power of the elements equal to an elite level Pokemon of similar type attribute.

If Slowking want to ascend to pseudo king then some conditions need to be reached. Firstly, he needed both his water and psychic powers to be at elite level.

Secondly, he can reach pseudo king if one of the two elements has reached the peak elite and the transformation begins.

This case of bottleneck doesn't appear until a Pokemon wants to reach the pseudo champion.

For this he needs to let his element reach king level and then another at peak king.

But it isn't that easy.

The requirements for pseudo king is too difficult and so many people are stuck at advanced level.

To be a master trainer one must have at least two pokemons at pseudo king stage.

Of the hundred millions people in Kanto less than thousand become master trainers. That means there is one master trainer among every hundred thousand people.

The number of pokemons having a single attribute is less than thirty among the one fifty official Pokemons of Kanto.

Of these only water, fire, normal , electric and poison have multiple species with single attribute.

And this is the reason that are so many trainers specialise in these types. Although most aren't aware of the reason they felt this is due to their most abundance or something. But the real reason is they are easier to upgrade their strength.

Another reason why elite four have type attribute and most of them have single attribute with some exceptions. This was why they were masters of a specific type.

These pokemons with exceptions are inherently strong too and on their evolution their elemental powers increase together amd they only need to learn control.

Both on their final forms have flying attribute and when they evolve their powers reach elite level in both attributes and stronger in fire or dragon attribute of they were already strong earlier.

That's why most Charizard and Dragonite are super powerful. They can reach pseudo king level much easily compared to some other Pokemons.

In case of one type specialisation if one type reach peak elite and another is weaker than elite through the use of natural treasures their secondary elements power could increase to elite and they can reach the higher stage.

But the power of the weaker element will always be weaker than that of the pokemon who reached that level without any external resources help.

This helps elite four increase their power while focusing on only one attribute and learning ways to counter the weaknesses.

Back to Slowking, he has gained his current power from Mew as well as Suicune's blessings. This was another gift left for Alex.

The Mysterious gem helps the Pokemon get the blessing from Suicune and makes their water power purer and denser and easier ro control.

Slowking power increased exponentially umder the help of two Legendary Pokemons.

Nothing was left standing as the psychic power rain destroyed everything whether it be tree or large rock in five hundred metre radius of Slowking.

The rain has stopped throughout the north battlefield but the effect of psychic rain or needle rain was only around Slowking under his absolute control.

Alakazam only had slight wounds which he got from the early attack which had him bleed a little as he erected a psychic barrier protecting himself.

As the pond was created, the rain began to cede but the cloud still remained.

Slowking who has floated above now stands on the water surface and looks at Alakazam woth a smile. He remained the same as earlier and didn't have any physical enhancement except for a longer tail.

And his eyes currently glowed in two colors of blue and pink under the powers of water and psychic elements he now wielded in his hands.

Alakazam expressions were more serious compared to before and his eyes shone pink due to the application of psychic.

The final round between Slowking and Alakazam will begins soon. Stay tuned.…
