Chapter 58: Training Part 2

The training isn't done yet, as Ash and Alice are now training with Finndra with the help of Goodra, and then it evolves into a stronger Pokemon.

Hydrogon: The Hidden Pokemon: Water and Dragon Type. Evolved from Finndra at LV:51. A famous legend in Rikoto tells of a fisherman being carried by a dragon to an underwater palace - such dragon is said to have been Hydrogon.

"Well, it seems like we have our own submarine Pokemon to dive underwater." Ash says. "Yeah." Alice replies.

And when they are walking on the Thundrome Pass, they feel like someone is following them, as they turn around, they see that it is a chameleon Pokemon, so Ash battles it and captures it in the end.

Chamelec: The Chameleon Pokemon: Electric Type. Chamelec hides itself through displaring patterns similar to the environment on their body. When it attacks, the pattern on its body changes.

And it also evolves really fast as it doesn't take too long to train.

Chameletro: The Chameleon Pokemon: Electric Type. Evolved from Chamelec at LV:35. Chamelectro's tongue can stun even a human adult; However, the static on their tongue makes it always visible, making it easy to spot an attacking Chamelectro.

And then they find a bird Pokemon who is singing very well, Alice asks Ash to capture it and he does.

Tweetot: The Aria Pokemon: Psychic and Fairy Type. Tweetot's high-pitched songs are considered relaxing and calming. Heralding the rise of the sun with their melody, those who hear it's singing would be filled with joy for the day.

By singing together with the Tweetot, they gain friendship really fast and it also evolves into a bigger bird Pokemon.

Melotweet: The Aria Pokemon: Psychic and Fairy Type. Evolved from Tweetot with high friendship. Melotweet is able to compose songs so beautiful, anyone who listens to them for too long would become entranced and lose their sense of time passing.

Melotweet's song are liked by everyone else in the island, and with Reisa's help from adding lyrics, it makes a good song for Ash and Alice to sing.

Now that it is done, Ash also helps Alice out with the gym, as he watches how Alice handle some challengers well. And during the gym challenge, Ash and Alice also evolve a lot of their Ice Type Pokemon.

Rinotic: The Rhino Pokemon: Ice and Ground Type. Evolved from Rinolar at LV:50. One of the mightiest Pokémon in the frozen tundra, Rinotic are said to have persevered since the ice age. Its hide is so thick, not even drills can penetrate it.

Sealberg: The Big Nose Pokemon: Ice and Water Type. Evolved from Isealcle at LV:54. Sealberg's tusks were valuable accessories in the market; Though due to the difficulty of safe extraction leading to several incidents, Sealberg tusk trades are now banned.

Carbonitro: The Extreme Pokemon: Ice Type. Evolved from Carbonix while learning Dry Ice. Carbonitro have complete control over their body temperature, allowing them to become freezing cold or scorching hot at will.

Gigloo: The Igloo Pokemon: Ice and Rock Type. Evolved from Iglow at LV:54. Gigloo are able to shoot powerful blasts of ice balls from the igloo on it's back. Being completely covered in thick ice, their body can uncaringly break through rough terrains.

And then they also go to the Route 19, which can be accessed from Soltree Town, and then they see that Rodney and Keira are also there. "Hey, guys, what are you up to?"

"Oh, Ash! Alice! Nice to see you again." Rodney says.

"We heard that when the workers are working to get the new route done to help connect the western and eastern Rikoto, but to do that they have to destroy a significant amount of the land just to have it usable for regular day use." Keira says.

"But that is the crazy part. During the last few hours of work, some of them were telling that strange things were going on, like grass growing faster than normal in the damaging areas. One worker was picking his shovel and then he notices a whole bush of roses growing right in front of him! After an hour or so, the whole route is just brimming back to life!" Rodney says.

"Seriously?" Ash asks.

"Yeah, it sounds so much like a legend my grandmother once told me when I was little. There was a Pokemon with similar abilities, capable of returning life to even desolated wastelands...but that was so long ago."

"Healthy?" Alice asks, "Are you talking about Healthy?"

"What? You seen it? Do share with us, please!" Rodney says.

"Back in Kalos, after school I will play with Healthy and Polly back in the Pokemon Village. And Healthy has the ability to returning life."

Ash says, "Yeah, we also saw it on Route 14, it was using its powers there as well."

"That's incredible! I really want to see it again." Keira says.

"Yeah, why don't we see if we can find her here." Rodney says as they go towards Route 21.

When they go further into the route, they see the Pokemon, who is running away every time they see it. So they keep moving until it stops in front of Alice. "Healthy?"

The Pokemon nods as Alice hugs the Pokemon. Keira says, "It's even beautiful than I thought it would be..."

"I should have gone with Alice after school so I can meet it as well." Rodney sighs.

But much to their surprise, Healthia decides to join in Ash and Alice, since she has been watching Alice every where they go and also Ash as well, though she did a mistake by showing herself in front of them at Route 14.

Healthia: The Flourish Pokemon: Fairy and Grass Type. A gentle spirit whose presence soothes the nature, Healthia emits a fragrance that heals people of their illness, no matter how severe.

"Wow, that's fantastic. Ash, Alice! You must be ecstatic having Healthia by your side." Keira says. "Promise us you'll use its powers to heal the world where it needs it, okay?

"Of course." Ash says.

Rodney says, "By the way, want to come to the Tropic Cave? There we can have some training together for the upcoming eighth gym."

"Sure." Alice says as they go there. On Route 20, Ash battled some trainers and then he evolves his Squidart.

Lisquid: The Squid Pokemon: Dark and Water Type. Evolved from Squidart at LV:47. Considered to be one of the ocean's most dangerous predators, Lisquid are both intelligent and ruthless, using their ink and limbs to attack prey.

Once they are inside the Tropic Cave, Alice says, "Wow, this place is really humid."

"I know." Keira says. "But I am curious what is so special in this place."

Rodney says, "I heard that there is a den for Persuado Dragons in the cave, that is why I am going to find it, so I can maybe capture a Persuado Legendary."

Ash nods as they go deeper, then as they see a strength puzzle, they remove it as they find a glowing light. After walking through it, they can see a lot of dragons playing together in the cavern, some of them are playing tag, and some of them are sleeping.

"Amazing...this place is so cool..." Keira says.

"Yeah, there are 15 kinds of dragon Pokemon here..." Rodney says as he scans them.

Ash decides to send out his Droot, Serpyro, Pinkmee, Strikon and Fayely. With the five Pokemon's help, they are welcomed to the place as they watch the dragons getting along with some of Ash and the others' Pokemon.

And by staying for hours, the dragons also evolve.
