22 Chapter 22 testing and 5th gym battle pt 1

Kash P.O.V

I was thinking of working on some of my thoughts these next few days on how to help develop Pokémon and with the springs here will help with it.I notice that the hot springs has great properties that I think will help, as the closer we get the volcano the hotter the springs get and the better it for my Pokemon as we travel from spring to spring, for each Pokemon I plan different training and different test to see if it helps them.

Starting with shin I figure that the steam above the springs must have differences compared to normal wind and air properties as I look at it I see the steam moving in different directions by being hit by the wind I see it can be followed. I also wonder how the actual steam affects him gliding though it makes me notice from certain moments he will lower and higher seeing that the pattern starts to form that when I see the wind swirl when I see 2 different gust hit each other he slow down a little and raises, then when one over powers the he lowers at a faster speed. So I have shin practicing by riding the wind and try to have him be able to predict it to get better at it to be useful in battle and maybe come with some combinations with my other Pokémon.

For Dash I their isn't as much I can do so while I work with him I notice his body is getting tougher and tougher as he stays in the hot spring making me realise why he likes them as they seem to help strengthen him.As I tell him to work by swimming more in the spring then to try to chase after the shadows on the water produced by shin as he will help give him greater maneuverability and give him more skill in the water and again making him stronger in battle

Next is creek now is training might be a lot more dangerous but he seems ready as it might be what pushes him so I start by getting him to soak in the hot spring then jumping into an ice bath produced by dash as to temper his body stronger.I then get the idea of him working on storing power inside his body as I find thanks to his strong body and his work on it, that his control over his inner energy is sorely lacking compared to my other Pokémon ad with this training may allow for himto learn more moves while also being more versatile in battle and not being stuck when facing some Pokémon. As I find close to evolving again I want him to get as strong as possible before that happens.

Cinder is toughest to train at this point as he has great control over his physical and mental aspects of his body making him a great fighter as has great awarness of the battlefield and his strength in multi battles is the best among them.So my plan is to help develop his attacks to be able to use them in combination. The ones of the most desired me to try and power up is fire fang and and dark pulse as they can go into his strengths but I decide I should let him work on it himself as it can help for him to improve. I just give him some outlines and ideas that can be helpful.

Spiritomb is not as tough as I haven't trained him as much as the others as I think of his strengths as I see he doesn't like to get hit by attacks and status affects, as I notice he isn't as great in control so for I want him to work on using shadow sneak and coming out to attack the target. As I work on it with him as I he needs direction as I work on choosing spots for him to phase out and phase back in to get faster and better accuracy as he practices more and more.I then tell him to alternate between that and working on strengthening his attacks damage by continueing using it and altering it to control them better.

Finally deino for him he has grown so much since I he had joined me and has improved with battling proven by his gym battle along as against the trainers I have met along my journey. For his strength thanks to Cinder he has great control over his dark moves as well of his energy, as for his dragon moves while I can help my knowledge is more limited as I don't know as much about raising them. For now I have him practice more control on the moves while trying to balance his energy with in I think of the best way will be to soak in the water while trying to circulate his power around his body to try and internalize it and not let it leak as it does from time to time in battle making him run out of energy faster.For when he is in control I think he will be ready to evolve as I see his physical strength has hit the need level, he just needs time as I don't want him to hit his threshold and break it before his final evolution as he may get injured and hurt his future potential from my theory that those Pokémon that have potential need stronger bodies as it can wreak havoc both mental and physically that I believe cause some who evolved to act out not having control of there body causing them to not listen to their trainers and hurting those around them. As that is why those in the wild are having much lower chance of happening compared to those trained by trainers.

As I work on thier moves for a few days I also work on my knowledge as I study both Pokemon that I could battle as well I want to catch and in Hoenn thier is 2 that I badly want for my team and my ideas on Pokemon strength and desire.I see Pokemon as freinds that you fight with and bond with that came from my understanding I gain from my abilities other then seeing feelings and connecting. I try not to use the others in normal battles with trainers and gyms as I feel it is a little unfair advantage in an honest battle as when I discovered the origin of them I stopped worrrying as much as when master taught me for 6 months before giving me my gift as I passed his trial to begin my journey.As I start to test with them more and more in recent weeks I get better understanding and greater control that allows me to connect and talk more easily with my Pokemon.

1 week later

After all that training I finally make it to the city of my next gym battle lavaridge town from what I heard is that the gym leader has a very powerful typhlosion telling me that the gym is a fire based.As I decide on my team for the battle as I walk to the pokemon center to heal my Pokemon as they had been working hard for over 2 weeks, Cinder beside me is tired as he was working hours on end trying to make new moves with major progress as we finally make it to the building. I hand over my Pokemon as I rest in my room after a meal.

next day

I enter the gym leaders building and hear a girl

?????" are you here to battle my grampa for a badge, I am Flannary and I am going to be the next gym leader hansome"as I see here walking up to me with a torkol walking behind her as I smile and she blushes as I see she is a little younger than me.

Kash "Yes I came here to battle for my 5th badge, also the name is kash" as she looks happy

Flannary "thats great my grandpa will be happy that dosn't need to hold back now like he does for newbie trainers"as I see an eldery gentalmen walking in the background walking toward us with a smile

?????" I guess you met my grand daughter, I am Mr.Moore follow me to the battlefield" as he tells me in confidance as I follow him seeing a large battlefield with large boulders spread across the battlefeild that makes me happy as its not the same plan field the other leaders had.

Flannary " This a 4 vs 4 battle with Gym leader moore and the challanger kash. Only the challanger can subsitute Pokemon during the battle. Trainers release your Pokemon, let the battle commence"

As he releases a torkol as I release Cinder to start out as I want to test his progression since his last battle as I smile I call for cinder to start with foul play as fire is not going to do to much in this battle use iron defense as I smile expecting that I call for him to use hidden power when he got close to torkol hard as Houndoom has an pychic hidden power as find funny from his immunity from it. As it hits torkal it does alot of damage thanks to the type and cinders power causing him to hit the ground and not get back up

Flannary " Torkal is unable to contiue, call out your next Pokemon and the challanger may switch if he so chooses."

I keep cinder in and I see Magcargo come from Mr. moore as he calls for his Pokemon to use aincent power as I tell cinder to hide behind the big bolders to dodge it as I know would cause a lot of harm to him if it hits then I tell him to use Dark pulse while running around confusing my opponets Pokemon not allowing him to get hit by any attacks. As dark pulse hits it does little damage see this causes makes sees even with all the attack power beind fire types he seems to focus on strong defense of his Pokemon making them harder to hurt with no surprises. As cinder is surprised he gets hit by rockslide giving a hard hit makeing him a little disordianted before be gets regains his bearings as I call for him to run and use crunch while he hits and looks to see his physical not as strong as his special defence. As I get some distance between them Mr Moore calls for recover getting his Pokemon to look a lot healthier as I see that I need one big attack to end this or the battle will take a while to finish. I call for Cinder to use one of his newly created attacks where he combines thunder fang, flame charge and crunch by mixing the power up of flame charge and adding fire to the thunder fang that is powered up with crunch makeing him looking like a comet with a bright and powerful light headed staight at Marcargo and knocking him to the wall behind the gym leader and knocking him out. The problem with this move it tires cinder outadn unable to fight before getting some rest"

Flannary " Magcargo is unable to battle call out your next Pokemon, and the challanger may switch if he so chooses"as I decided to recall cinder to my side allowing him to rest a little. Mr. Moore calls out his 3rd Pokemon getting a suprise from me as it is a ninetales as I call out creek to battle as we head to start the battle once more.
