Koffing was also tested and it was very healthy. Axel expected it cause there was no problem shown in the system. Koffing was fed some Momo Milk and it quickly went to sleep.
Momo milk was essential for every baby Pokemon and it was filled with nutrition. Axel was now waiting for Pawniard to hatch from the egg.
He was very hopeful of this Pawniard cause this was going to be his first warrior Pokemon.
There were very few Pokemons that had the nature and the personality of being a warrior. Scyther was one of them and he saw how powerful it really was in the tide battles.
Axel believed that his Pawniard would be even more powerful than Scyther. After fighting a lot of Pokemon in tide battles, gym battles, league battles, and normal battles, Axel had a lot of experience with how such a Pokemon should be raised.
Since a lot of Pokemons were hatching here and there the whole place was filled with happiness. These little Pokemons were very cute and didn't know the concept of life. So, they would do a lot of silly and cute things and they were a handful. They were very active and mischievous. They should be looked after 24/7 and it was very hard to do it.
Fortunately, the older Pokemons of the same species were taking part of the responsibility and it was not that hard.
Axel went and spent some time with Aron, 3 Magnemites, Wartortle, Pawniard, and Staravia. Staravia and Wartortle were very close to their evolution. Staravia was very competitive and it was training hard to become the leader of its small group. It had to beat Wartortle who was also very powerful.
Axel realized that he didn't have a good relationship with these Pokemons. He had not spent much time with them and they didn't have that sense of loyalty and friendship like other Pokemons. So, Axel decided to spend some time with them.
So, Axel had decided to go on a short trip with all of them. The trip was just to roam around the forest of the day care. Since Koffing had just been born, they could not go out so far.
Axel took them near a small lake. The lake was not that large as Axel could see the other end of it. The edge of the lake was surrounded with lush grasses and then they were covered by trees. This was a place was very vital for the day care Pokemon cause they normally come out here to rest and to drink water.
Staravia immediately started to boss every one of them. Aron was very cute and innocent and it immediately fell under Staravia's impeccable leadership. But Wartortle was not having it. Since Wartortle was Axel's Pokemon much before Staravia, it believed that it was the senior.
Cripip... Crippp.
War.. Wartortle!!!
CRIIPPPPPP
WARRRR
Both of them were not having it.
"Hey, stop it, you guys. You are a part of a team."
Axel tried to settle their differences but both of them were not having it. Finally, it was decided that both of them would fight it out. This was the best solution and since Axel was here with all the day care Pokemons, they would not be seriously injured.
But surprisingly, Staravia chose not to fight and spent the rest of the time drinking water and sleeping.
'So, you are concerned about your image, huh?', thought Axel.
As of right now, Staravia was weaker than Wartortle. Wartortle had created its new move and it was very defensive. Staravia had also trained a lot in these days. It had not even missed a single day but it knew that it was still weaker than Wartortle. If it lost, its image would go down and Wartortle would be the leader of this group.
Yes, Staravia had started to think that it could not possibly become the leader of those king rank Pokemons but it could boss these new Pokemons. Aron, Koffing, Wartortle, and the new Pokemon that was going to hatch tomorrow. They were considered the third-generation Pokemons by Axel.
Pokemons like Shedinja, Nidoking, and Charizard were the first generation. Togetic, Primeape, Salamence, and Lucario were from the second generation and Staravia, Koffing, Aron, Magnemite, and Wartortle were from the third generation.
Staravia had decided to become the leader of the third generation.
###
Except for Staravia and Wartortle; Koffing, Magnemites, and Aron were having a good time. Axel was playing catch with them while Aron was striking its head on the tree. This was a part of the training and Axel was instructing it. He just wanted to see how defensive it was and he was quite happy with the progress.
Staravia and Wartortle also started to play with other Pokemons and Axel. Koffing was trying very hard to levitate but it was still not able to do it. It seemed to be very adamant about levitating and flying. Staravia came and give it some tips but Staravia was just built different.
Criipp.. Cripp..
Koff.. Koffing....
Even though it gave its best advice, Koffing was not able to fly. Staravia felt that it had failed as a leader. It was feeling quite sad now.
Axel didn't know how to resolve this situation. He tried to explain to Staravia that it was a bird but Koffing was not. It had to master the manipulation of gas to fly but Staravia was not listening to him.
Cripp.. Cripppp. CRIppppp
It turned towards Axel and shouted in a loud voice.
"What? You have decided to master the gas and then teach it to Koffing?", asked Axel.
Staravia nodded.
"But why? You don't need to go that far to help Koffing. It was just born today. It would naturally learn it after some months.", said Axel.
Staravia heaved its chest and shouted as if saying, 'How can I be their leader if I cannot even teach them such a simple thing like flying?'
'Wohhh, Gandiva is taking this leader job very seriously', thought Axel.
It might be a good thing. May be in the future, Staravia could really become a true leader of this group. This would decrease Axel's pressure a lot.
"Ok, I approve.", said Axel raising his thumb.
Staravia nodded thinking as if that was the most logical thing to do. It had to take care of its subordinates.
Axel started to explain to Staravia about air and molecules and different kinds of gas. This might actually be good for Staravia as it was a flying-type Pokemon.
The rest of the day went in a peaceful manner. Axel hoped that he could have a day like this another time. No worries and no pressure.
###
The next day,
"How long will it take?", asked Axel. His voice was filled with excitement.
"Sir, it is still going to take a couple of hours. You just have to be patient."
Axel had many Pokemons that he received as an egg. But this was the first time he was so impatient. He really wanted this Pawniard. His first warrior Pokemon. He had done all the research on this Pokemon and how he was going to raise it.
He was personally going to cater to its every training need.
A couple of hours might not be a long time but for Axel, it felt like months. He had to wait for it. He was making sure that everything was alright about this hatch.
He had gone through a lot of Pawniard eggs and finally settled on it. Of course, this was a special one with some moves that made him interested.
After waiting for a couple of hours, the egg was finally going to hatch. Axel didn't want this hatching process to go wrong. So, he had to tell everyone in the hatching room to get out.
What if this Pawniard saw another man or a woman first decided to be its trainer? Pawniard were very loyal Pokemon. It was due to their warrior nature but it was also not easy to gain its trust. A Pawniard would not settle for a mediocre trainer. If it feels that the trainer lacks leadership skills and the nature of a warrior, then it would never be with that trainer. But after it confirms on its trainer, it would never leave that said trainer. Not even in death.
After waiting for the whole day, finally, there was a crack in the egg. The crack gave a loud crisp and the Pokemon inside was struggling to come out.
Just out of pure excitement, Axel began to cheer.
"Yes, you can do it, Pawniard. Just do your best!!! You can come out."
After saying this repeatedly, the cracks started to increase and finally, a short blade came out from the egg. The blade was filled with the egg's white mucus. After that it was easy. The blade cut the egg and finally, Pawniard came out of it.
It was barely a foot tall and it was wobbling to even stand properly. Just when Axel tried to help it by coming closer, it raised its hand made of sword gesturing that it didn't need any help. Even though its consciousness was just developing now, it was still a warrior through and through.
Finally, after a couple of minutes of getting used to the new world, it finally looked forward into Axel's eyes.
For a few seconds, nobody spoke and they were only looking at each other.
"Hello Pawniard. My name is Axel Blaze. I am a trainer and I want you to be my Pokemon. I promise you that I will make you the most powerful Kingambit in the whole wide world."
Pawniard looked at Axel, clearly not impressed with his words. Even though it had just been born, it could not select a trainer so easily. This was a major decision of its life.
"So, do you want to start this journey with me?", asked Axel after a few seconds of silence.
Pawn.. Pawniard... It said as it turned back.
This was the reality. Axel had been turned down. Axel could not clearly sense what it meant through telepathy as it had just been born but it clearly said that it could not make this decision so easily.
"Sigh... So, why don't you spend some time with me so that you can know me better? If you think that I am the right one, then you can decide to be my Pokemon."
Pawn.. Pawn...
Pawniard seems to have agreed.
It was not going to be easy but Axel was determined to make Pawniard his Pokemon.
One might wonder why this Pawniard was so perceptive of choosing a trainer when it had just come out of the egg. When a Pokemon comes out of the egg, one cannot even think of anything. They were just like a blank page. They were mostly excited to come out. But this Pawniard looked like it had been born from the sweat and blood of powerful warriors.
Actually, it was all Axel's fault.

A week ago,
"So, Mr. Axel, you have chosen this egg, right?", asked Mr. Gora.
"Yes, I feel that this is the right one."
"Mr. Axel, there are many eggs that still have time. Maybe we can find another one that is much better than this one."
"No, I am sure of it."
"So, Mr. Axel, what do you want to change in this egg? Any new moves, or any new hidden element?", asked Mr. Gora.
"I want it to have an electric type if that is possible. But that is not the most important part."
"Then what is the most important part?"
"Pawniard are known to have a warrior personality, right?", asked Axel.
"Yes, they do. They quickly develop this nature at their baby stage.", said Mr. Gora.
"Can you enhance that personality or that feeling inside this Pawniard?", asked Axel.
"Really? That is the most important change that you want to make?"
"Yes, how much can you enhance it?"
"Well, I can safely enhance it by 50%. Higher than that can be dangerous. A Pokemon or even a human has a lot of different kinds of emotions. Concentrating on only one could disrupt the hormone inside it."
"Ok, 50% is enough."
###
Present time,
"Sigh, it might be a good thing in the future. Let's confirm its stats again.", said Axel and proceeded to look at its stats.
