"Don\'t doubt me. I believe that it is possible.", said Axel. Shedinja started to think of Axel\'s words.
It was basically combining 2 moves and technically the theory seemed plausible. But no one had thought of \'Substitute\' and \'Ally switch\' like that.
\'Ally switch\' could help the Pokemon teleport and switch its place with one of its allies. It was a handy move. Axel wanted Shedinja to switch with one of its own substitutes. Until yesterday, it would take 2 seconds for Shedinja to switch with one of its allies. However, after its level-up, now it could do it in 1 second. Axel wanted the switch to be instant.
Even if it could switch itself with the substitute within 1 second, it would increase its battle powers by a lot. As of right now, Shedinja could make 2 substitutes.
Shedinja started to try this new concept however it was unsuccessful on the first try. The move was not so hard to accomplish but it was new, unique and awkward. Axel also wanted Shedinja to perform \'Ally switch\' with its substitute in an instant.
"Since you are substituting with your own substitute, it would naturally be faster. So, I want the switching to be in an instant. If it is not done in an instant, it would defeat the purpose of the move."
Shedinja agreed and started to practice the move.

"Axel, come here this second. We are having a family meeting.", shouted his mother from the house.
Axel didn\'t mind much and started to think about his Pokemons.
"AXEL ARRON BLAZE. COME HERE RIGHT NOW!!" This time the voice was louder and filled with malice.
"What is she middle naming me for?", asked Axel.
"You should spend some time with your family. Your mother looks very pissed. Go on, I will handle the rest.", said Mark.
Axel sighed and turned to his home. Right now he was in a garden with Mark and his Pokemons. After a small explosion that happened while making the formula, his mother prohibited them to experiment in the house.
"Axel, you are home for just a month or two and you have not even spent a good time with your family. Today we are going to a picnic.", said his mother.
"Yay!!! Picnic.", yelled Agnes jumping in the air.
It was true that he had not spent a good time with his family. After coming to his home, the majority of the time was spent on training his Pokemons and research.
Axel\'s mother and sister started to pack for the picnic. Axel was also forced to participate. His father had also taken off from the office for today.
Mark was offered but he refused to join the picnic.
"I am not a picnic guy and I feel that we are so close to making a solution."

So, they went to the park. The name of the park was \'Trainer Park\'. Axel had been here multiple times in his childhood. This was the place where he use to play with his friends. The Pokemons in the park were domesticated, so, Axel would spend a lot of time playing with the Pokemons.
The park was huge. It would take an entire day to circle the whole park. The family started to sit on the grass. Agnes went near the pond with her Dratini. His uncle, father and mother started to talk and eat.
"Uncle, who controls the forest in the south, west and east region?", asked Axel as they were having breakfast.
The 2 sides of Hakone city were painted with blue sea. The majority of the city was covered with a huge forest. The forest extended to the south, west and east region. The north side was connected to other cities.
The forest was huge with powerful wild Pokemons. Since the strongest trainer in the city was only an advanced ranked trainer, nobody dares to go deep inside the forest. The forest was called \'Origin Forest\'.
"Nobody. The forest falls under the mayor or the city itself. Why do you ask?", asked Noah.
"I want to buy the forest. Can I do that?", asked Axel.
"What? Why do you want to buy it?", asked Noah. His father and mother also joined the conversation.
"Nobody owns it. So I could get that for free right? Why shouldn\'t I buy it?"
"First of all, you would not get it for free. You would have to pay the city. The amount would be way lower than the normal land prices but it would still be a substantial amount.
Second, and I should have started with this. There is a reason why no one had bought the forest of the city.
The forest is filled with wild and strong Pokemons. If any wild Pokemon caused any harm to any property or people of the city, you would have to pay for it, since it is your property.
I have heard that there is a king-ranked Pokemon in the center of the forest. So, I don\'t think you should buy it.", replied his father.
"Don\'t worry Father. I will make an agreement with the wild Pokemon first. I will tread this carefully.", replied Axel.
"Whatever you say. But why do you want to buy it?", asked Noah.
"It is for security. I would not be here all the time. I would have loved it if you guys were to transfer to pallet town."
"No, we don\'t want that. We have been living here all our life. We want to spend our time here for the rest of our life.", replied his mother.
Being a successor of Oak granted Axel the authority to let his family live inside pallet town. A big mansion had already been built for him and his family. However, his family refused the offer to stay in pallet town.
"But why? All of you will be safer in pallet town. Oak will be there so safety is guaranteed.", protested Axel. He didn\'t know why they wanted to live here. Pallet Town was more advanced and safer than Hakone City.
"Axel, you have lived here for only 13 years. But we have lived here all our whole life. There are a lot of memories here. We don\'t want to leave. It is peaceful here."
"But what if the wild Pokemons in the forest started to rampage in the city. It has happened before.", said Axel.
That was one of the reasons why he wanted to buy the forest. He wanted his family to be safe.
"It has not happened for 30 years and that is just part of life Axel.", said his father.
Sometimes the Pokemons in the forest would rampage in the city. There was been evidence of multiple deaths too. This has not happened for 30 years in Hakone city. Last time it happened, 80 people were killed and a lot of them were seriously injured. That was why Axel wanted his family to settle in Pallet town.
However, Axel had another motive to take control of the forest.
It was his reward for stopping Bulbasaur\'s evolution.
