545 Slowemperor
That Pokemon was Lucario.
Was it destiny? He had been searching for it for a long time and now he was going to meet it? That could not just be a coincidence.
Lucario was said to be the first Pokemon that had learned aura. Since it was a human that had created an aura, the said human had taught it and overtime it evolved to such a state. It was just a lore and it was not confirmed. It was said that the human was the first Pokemon master and Lucario was his first Pokemon.
But Axel could not rule out other possibilities too. Lucario might be the greatest possibility compared to all of them and it might also be the safest. It was said that Lucario could sense the feelings of humans and Pokemon. So, if your heart was in the right place, a Lucario would never harm you.
That also meant that Lucario was one of the most distrusting Pokemon of all time. That was why very few trainers had Lucario as their Pokemon.
He had a lot of things in his mind and he shared it with the group.
"What you said might also be true if it is really aura that is doing all this.", said Lance. Others also agreed to it.
Quite frankly, a powerful Lucario could sense the feelings of humans and Pokemons without any problem. So, if they had with good intentions, they would not be hurt. However, there were other possibilities too.
"Damn! I didn't think that it would turn out like this. We have to be extra careful about this. Any plans for that?", asked Lance to the group especially looking at Axel.
"I think it is time for me to power up.", said Axel.
"Power up how? Do you have a switch on your head that could power you up instantly?", asked Lance.
"No, but I have my means to power up my Pokemons. Don't you?", asked Axel.
Lance knew that Axel was just showing off but if he could really power up his Pokemons, then the risk would be reduced by a huge margin.
"So, what is this power-up thing that you are going to do?", asked Ryker.
"You will just have to see."
Axel had 2 ways to power up 2 of his Pokemons. First was Charizard. Only 2 days were left before the 1-month cooldown was over. If they could wait for 2 more days, then Charizard could use the move 'Transform' when needed.
The second way was…..
"Slowpoke, Cloyster, I think it is finally time.", said Axel.
Axel wanted Cloyster to grow a bit and even have level 45 on it is 'Toxic bite'. That would increase the power of Slowking but now was not the time to wait.
As of right now, Cloyster would increase the special attack and defense of Slowpoke and also improve the power of the moves of Slowpoke if Cloyster and Slowpoke knew the same move. However, Slowpoke must have higher move mastery than Cloyster.
The condition was satisfied. However, he also wanted Cloyster to affect ability, other stats, and the typing of Slowpoke too. For that to happen, the move 'Toxic bite' had to level up quite a bit and it would take some time.
Now, they didn't have time and Axel made a decision to combine them right now.
"Slowpoke, try to concentrate and Cloyster, go and bite its head!!!", shouted Axel.
When Cloyster went to bite on its head, Axel threw a king's rock to Slowpoke and it caught it.
"What is happening?", asked Kate and K at the same time.
They had known about how a Shellder would bite on the tail of Slowpoke and it would evolve into Slowbro. However, they had not heard of Slowking as it was a new concept and they definitely had not heard about a Cloyster biting on the head of Slowpoke and what the hell was that stone that Axel threw?
When Cloyster bit on Slowpoke's head a blue and purple light enveloped both of them. At first, they looked like 2 different Pokemons cause they were but slowly and steadily, they were starting to look like one single Pokemon.

Ding!
Cloyster had bit Slowpoke on its head.
Ding!
Cloyster had used 'Toxic bite' and it is slowly changing Slowpoke.
Ding!
A miraculous event!!! Slowpoke is evolving.
Ding!
You cannot stop this evolution.
---
The evolution took around 5 minutes to complete.
"Axel, what is happening?", asked Lance.
"I said it already, I am powering up my Pokemons.", said Axel with a smile.
"Oh come on, don't speak in riddles. What is happening to them?", asked Lance pointing out Slowpoke and Cloyster.
"Obviously, they are evolving."
"They could evolve too?", asked Kate who was equally curious.
"Yes, this is the new type of evolution that I have discovered recently."
"How could you find such evolution so easily? I just cannot understand you.", said K.
K was there when Axel found out about the other evolution of Eevee. He was also there for Crobat's evolution. How could Axel find so many types of evolution so easily? Finding out a new evolution was not something one could do by just walking in the park.
"Hey, I do a lot of hard work and research to find these types of evolutions.", replied Axel in his defense.
It finally evolved and it looked nothing like Slowking. It was standing on 2 feet like Slowking but its face and head looked very different. Instead of a crown on the head, there was a sort of mixture of a crown and a helmet. The color of so-called crown-helmet was not entirely white. It looked like a mixture of blue and white. That crown-helmet was releasing an icy aura and icy vapor was forming around this new Pokemon.
ROOOOARRR
It gave a huge roar. Axel could feel that this new Pokemon was much stronger than a normal Slowking.
---
Ding!
Slowpoke had evolved into a completely new species.
Ding!
The name of its new form is called Slowemperor.
Ding!
Slowemperor is a monarch-type Pokemon.
Ding!
You are in the presence of a monarch.
Ding!
The system is calculating the stats of Slowemperor. Since it is a Pokemon that had never appeared in the history of the Pokemon world, it would take some time.
Ding!
Since this is a Pokemon that has not appeared in the history of this world, you will be handsomely rewarded. The reward would be distributed after calculating the stats of Slowemperor.
---
Slowemperor was a new Pokemon that Axel had not seen the real life or in the games. It looked very different much more powerful than Slowking.
As expected, Slowemperor didn't go haywire after evolving. It was a powerful psychic type Pokemon and it could control its emotions after evolving and ranking up.
That was as per Axel's expectations but anything other than that was not something he expected. He didn't know that there had never been a Slowemperor in the history of this world. That was a huge thing. Pokemon like Umbreon or Slowking had appeared during ancient times or even recent times but Slowemperor had not appeared before.
Axel felt that he had somehow changed the fate of this world or done something very big but he could not share this with anyone cause no one knew about the system.
"Hey man, are you okay? How are you feeling right now?", asked Axel and he slowly started to move towards Slowemperor.
"I feel very good. I feel powerful right now. I have never felt so much power before.", shared Slowemperor.
Since it was talking normally, Axel went near it and started to examine it. Its body felt very hard like a stone and it looked more defensive than before.
It was already evening right now and Axel decided to make camp here. The place was still half a day away and they needed to wait for 2 days before going inside.
Axel released all of his Pokemons and all of them came near Slowemperor. They congratulated Slowemperor for its evolution and Axel and the group made a bonfire with various foods that Slowemperor liked.
Axel had many questions about Slowemperor but the system was still calculating the stats of Slowemperor right now and it had not completed it.
He then started to think about this monarch thing. He knew about the king species but he had never heard about the monarch species. Was Slowemperor the only one in the category?
Axel asked Slowemperor about it and it replied,
"I don't know much about it but I feel that I am different like I am way above any of the Pokemons. I feel dignified by thinking and looking at me. I have never felt like this before. The effect and rush of evolution is already gone but I still feel it."
That was a clue for Axel but he still had to wait for the system. He believed that he could figure it out after looking at its stats.
###
Finally, after a few hours, the system came up with multiple notifications.
---
Ding!
The stats of Slowemperor have been revised.
Ding!
There has been changes in the ability of Slowemperor
Ding!
Slowemperor has made a new move.
Ding!
Slowemperor's special attack has increased to S rank
Ding!
Slowemperor's special defense has increased to S rank.
Ding!
Slowemperor's agility has increased to….
Ding!
…..
There were multiple notifications that came out so fast that Axel could not read most of them and then…
---
Ding!
The conditions have been met. Slowemperor is ranking up to tier 3 of king rank…
---
Suddenly, a bluish and purple glow surrounded Slowemperor and it started to rank up to tier 3. This was the first Pokemon that was going to rank up to tier 3 of king rank from Axel's team.
If Charizard and Shedinja were normal Pokemons, then Slowemperor might be the most powerful Pokemon in his team right now but Charizard could fight with pseudo-champion rank for 3 minutes and Shedinja could only be hurt by dark and ghost-type moves.
Nevertheless, it was a tremendous achievement and Axel was highly expecting it.
"I can't believe my eyes. It is ranking up again? It just ranked up a few days ago!!!", shouted Lance.
Lance always felt behind Axel in every way of his career and now he had finally gotten a king rank Pokemon. However, Axel now had a tier 3 king-rank Pokemon.
It was not only Lance. Others were also feeling the same thing. Their difference was growing.
"Axel, can I ask a serious question?", asked Kate.
"Yes, please."
"How could your Slowemperor rank up so fast? I have not seen such a thing in my entire life. Normally, even with a genius trainer, a genius Pokemon would take years or even years to reach from tier 2 to tier 3. But Slowemperor reached it in a few days."
"It is really simple. First, it was a Slowbro not a Slowpoke. It knew about Slowking which was when a Shellder bites its head and it loved that form. So, Shellder forcefully came out of its head and then it became Slowpoke.
When it became Slowpoke, I talked with Prof. Oak and we came up with a possibility that a Slowpoke could evolve if it attaches with Cloyster. There were a lot of restrictions and conditions that needed to be fulfilled and I recently fulfilled all of them.
I also didn't know that it would evolve to Slowemperor. When it evolved to Slowemperor, its stats also increased rapidly and that led it to rank up further to tier 3. That is what I think, at least."
The group came to an understanding after hearing his reply. It looked like Axel had given all his secrets on how to evolve Slowpoke to a Slowemperor but that was not true. He had not said anything about the conditions that needed to be fulfilled to evolve a Slowpoke to a Slowemperor and that was the main part.
The group didn't ask further questions to Axel and just waited for Slowemperor to rank up to tier 3.
