It took him 2 days to get to all of that documents. He was not well-versed in such research. Now he was ready to make a solution. He had bought a huge number of herbs and materials. It cost him 1 billion Pokedollars. It was an insane amount of money.

"I really hope that we succeed.", said Mark.

"Me too. I don't want to lose money. Let's start!!!!", said Axel.

They have triple-checked the formula and the combination for the solution.

After a few minutes, the solution was made.

The result?

Total Failure.

How did Axel know? If the solution was a success, the system would have sent the notification of quest completion. But it had not.

Axel was not disappointed. It would take a lot of trial and error for the solution to be complete.

The process for the solution sent by Oak was not absolute. He had just described the process and detailed Axel's idea. The concentration of materials and the timing were something that Axel had to figure it out.

"Did we make it?", asked Mark in anticipation.

"I don't think that we did. We could only test it after you have made the heart gauge.

Let's change the concentration of materials and make a few more samples before the heart gauge is made.", replied Axel.

One of the functions of heart gauge was to determine if the solution was correct. Since heart gauge would still take a couple of days to perfect, they could not tell if the solution was perfect or at least Mark could not.

Axel knew about the result cause of the system, but he could not say that to Mark. So, he told Mark to wait for the Heart gauge.

After 5 days,

Axel had made 20 samples but none of them were correct. Mark was happy cause he could finally test the sample. Heart gauge was finally here.

"Axel, let's check the solution.", said Mark excitedly. Axel just nodded his head in response.

After testing all the samples, Mark sighed, "None of them are correct. Where are we going wrong?"

"You didn't think that such a solution could be made in a week right?"

"Of course, I didn't. But seeing us failing is not a good experience."

"Tell me about it. I have invested 1 billion Pokedollars on it."

Axel knew only 1 thing. That the system was absolute. The hint given by the system would make him the solution. But it was still a long process. The permutation and combination of the material combinations were in millions.

If they started to do it, it would take them several years to make the solution. So, there were only 2 things to make it faster.

The first was to learn from the mistake and then try again.

The second was luck.

Axel knew he was lucky, but luck was something that one could not depend on.

"There are 2 purposes of the solution. First, to heal the Pokemon from its shadow status. Second, and this is the main one, is to help Pokemon adapt to its shadow status.", said Axel again.

"Yes, from the previous researchers, we know that we could not take the shadow element out. So, we should let the Pokemon adapt to its new situation.

Should we reduce the concentration of the materials?

Instead of curing it in one go, there should be multiple treatments for it.", said Mark.

"That is a good idea, Mark. Let's try it. How many dozes of treatment do you think would suffice?"

"5 to 10 doses depending on the effect of shadow element on their body.", remarked Mark.

They started to make a new sample with a new formula.

After 5 days, Tauros has learned 'Endure' and 'Earthquake'. Absol had also learned 'Stone edge'.

His father Arcanine knew 'Earthquake', so it was not hard for him to learn.

Shedinja, Gyarados, Ivysaur, Beedrill, and Charizard had finally adjusted to their new evolution and ranks.

It was now time for them to learn new things.

[Ding!

Marcus's Ally switch has leveled up to 30]

-----

It has reached Good stage

"Finally!!! It is completed. Marcus come here. It is now time for us to learn a new move.", said Axel.

Axel wanted to try out a new move for Shedinja. It had learned 'Shadow jump' before. It also showed a new kind of power when fighting with Oak's Charizard.

Axel and Shedinja had tried a lot to attain that new power. However, they were unsuccessful. It seemed like a domain. After a month of trying it, they were unsuccessful to replicate it. So, Axel decided to learn this new move.

"Marcus, create only 1 Substitute for now."

"Shed…", it responded and another Pokemon, an exact copy of Shedinja appeared in front of it. The substitute had lower power than the original Shedinja.

'Substitute' was like a shadow clone version of Naruto world. It would take some amount of HP as a sacrifice and then create a new copy. The copy would have fewer abilities and power compared to its normal counterpart. It was mainly used to take hits from the opponent.

"Now, try to understand the new concept. This substitute is also a part of you. I want you to switch yourself with the substitute with the help of 'Ally switch'."

"Shed ????"

It was asking if it was possible?
