Beedrill started off with ''Furry cutter'' and then ''X-scissor''. Some of the moves connected but some missed out. Arbok was also not sitting still. One of ''Iron tail'' hit it right in the head and it flew off to crash into the trunk of the tree. The wave of poison was still there.
Arbok swam on the poison at a fast pace and reached near Beedrill when it suddenly felt an attacking to the right. Arbok was smart and protected its head first. The attack which was a sharp spear made out of fire hit its body and it came out of the other side.
"Hisss.....".
Arbok hissed at kazam with pure anger. It was going to finish one of its enemies when the second one interrupted.
Meanwhile, Axel called out to Beedrill to his Pokeball. He knew that it could not possibly connect an attack now. It could still fight but the risk of losing one of his Pokemons made Axel call out Beedrill.
Now only kazam and Arbok were left. kazam only had minor injuries as most of the attack was tanked by Beedrill and it also had made good use of ''Teleport'' saving it from deadly attacks.
Axel had instructed it to master the new move and only interrupt if necessary. But that would not be possible now. Arbok knew that it could notst much longer and it needed to finish up this Pokemon.
"Light, use ''Gravity'', ''Teleport'', ''Confusion'' and then ''Elemental maniption''"
Arbok could feel that its body had gotten very heavy and it could not lift itself up. Its head mmed on the ground. Such was the power of the move ''Gravity''.
kazam teleported in another direction and used ''Confusion''. The move had connected and now Arbok''s senses were haywire. It concentrated and felt its surrounding.
Arbok, being a snake species would determine its enemy''s location from its skin which would detect infrared radiation.
It located its enemy and turned right and jumped off to use ''Crunch'' which would be deadly for kazam.
At least it thinks that it located it.
Multiple fire spears hit the back of its head and it was thrown to the ground.

Arbok could not tell what had happened. Its senses had never betrayed it until today. It used ''Dig'' and went underground. This was the effect of ''Greater Telekinesis'' that kazam was learning
The fight went on for 10 minutes but Arbok was slowly winning. Its superior stats and powerful attacks had hit kazam multiple times.
"Come on....

After 10 minutes Arbok was able tond ''Poison fang'' and now kazam was poisoned.
Arbok then used ''Poison damage transfer'' and started to steal kazam''s health.
"Come on....

kazamnded a ''Psychic'' but it was losing its health rapidly. Arbok would just use ''Dig'' and go underground and attack again.
"Come on...

Ding!
Greater Telekinesis: 100% (learned)
Ding!
kazam has fully mastered the move. Do you really want to name it ''Greater Telekinesis''?
----
"YESS!!!!."
---
Ding!
kazam hadpleted its rank-up condition.
Ding!
kazam is ranking up...
----
"FINALLY!!!!", shouted Axel jumping from his feet. A purple glow started to envelop kazam. Arbok knew what it was. For a moment it wanted to disturb kazam and kill it. Cause if kazam ranked up, it was sure that it would die.
But it chose to be a man and follow the tradition. It waited for the arrival of kazam hissing with pure rage.
Axel threw the type-enhancing item that he had received from the league and told kazam to use it. He then waited for the rank-up process.
The process took around 10 minutes. Arbok didn''t waste those 10 minutes. It used another ''Sludge wave'' on the wild Pokemons and then used ''Poison damage transfer'' to heal itself. Unlike ''Regeneration'', it didn''t take much stamina to use.
"Damn, it is very crafty.", shouted Axel. He didn''t have other options. Beedrill and Piloswine were resting and healing and kazam was ranking up. Since it was using poison move like ''Sludge wave'' Axel didn''t want his other Pokemons to interrupt.
The glow died down and....
"ROARRRRRR...."
kazam had finally reached pseudo-king rank status
----
Ding!
kazam has ranked up to pseudo-king rank
Ding!
Your Pokemon has reached pseudo-king rank for the first time. You will be rewarded.
Ding!
Reward calcting.....
Rewards: A guidebook on moveprehension and a word of advice.
Ding!
Your Leadership stats has massively increased to 250

That was a good reward. Axel had felt that the move of his Pokemon became difficult to level up after it reached level 30 or the good stage. With the guide of moveprehension, he would know why it was so. However, he didn''t have time to look into it right now.
"Light, are you feeling okay?", asked Axel.
The rush of emotion when a Pokemon evolves and upgrades was not to be taken lightly. If kzam could not follow his instructions, it may turn very bad very soon.
''I am doing fine Axel. You don''t need to worry so much.'', replied kazam on his head.
"Light, this Pokemon is interesting. I want you to tire it so that I could catch it. However, if it is too much, you can just kill it."
''Don''t worry Axel, I am quite confident.''
Arbok was ready to fight again.
''Now, let''s start round 2'', said kazam with a smile on its face. Only it knew how powerful it had be and it could tell that it was far stronger than this Pokemon.
kazam''s eyes turned purple and a greater force of gravity struck Arbok on its face. The wind started to blow off and multiple tree trunks started to hover in the air.
The shapes of those trunks started to change and each of them turned to a big sharp spear. Then, electricity started to sparkle on those trunks and within a few seconds, all of those trunks were covered in the yellow colour of electricity.
SWOSHHH....
All those trunks moved at a breakneck speed and struck Arbok''s body. Since Axel had told it to tire it out and not kill it, kazam didn''t target its head. Some of those attacks were dodged but some of them hit on its body. Its body was again separated from its head and the force of that attack was too much for Arbok to handle.
kazam had grown very powerful.
