Zandrophin sat down in the meditation area, as close to the water as he could get. As he, Mentus, and Squirt began to meditate, a deep, almost black amethyst aura began to form around each of them.
When Prasha returns, we have to discuss our plan. Squirt...I have to ask...are you ready for the next step? You must be fully prepared for it, or it could harm you.
War!
Good....Mentus...you'll need to help here, too. Are you prepared for it?
Always, Sir...I've been waiting for this for quite some time.
Very well. Now we just wait for him.

Prasha rounded the back of the tower to the garden, where he saw Zan on the edge of the water with Mentus. Prasha knew what was next he already sensed the aura that Mentus had given off. Prasha chuckled, Oh Zan you have so much to learn. Prasha approached him and stood there trying to tap into Zan's thoughts.
"Lady Akane has safely departed. The pool is beautiful isn't it? I got the design after my father put in a similar pattern in our house. I studied Psychic type Pokemon when I was a child into my teenage years. Then I took up the love for Fighting type Pokemon. The focus they give off I picked up after watching Nachos." Prasha sat in the middle of the pond. His eyes glowed purple and blue and his ear rings glowed the same color. "These ear rings were a gift from my grandmother. To help me meditate. I do not need them, but they allow e to tap into my grandmother's thoughts. Kind of like a Drowzee."
Prasha knew Zan was testing him as his boss had many times before. Now it was Prasha's turn to shock Zan. Prasha elevated his body off the ground. the water formed a perfect whirlpool reveling the symbols underneath a grouping of Unknown forming an ancient symbol.

Zandrophin's focus was slightly disturbed when Prasha arrived...the boy had much to learn still about the art of meditation.
You talk too much, old boy. Just a simple update that Akane had left would have sufficed.
Prasha showed what he could do with the water. Zandrophin was slightly impressed.
Good show, but showing off will only get you hurt...remember the delicate balance of meditation...distant of the physical world, yet aware of all around you. Now, let's get down to business. We're going after this Absol...and Squirt is ready to advance himself. I need you to help me open his mind. I need you to give him some knowledge of your martial skill. Will you do this for me?
Do not fight for a cause or for what you believe in: Fight for yourself, because who you are rarely changes. Zandrophin
Prasha gazed into Zan's face and rose onto the water, stepping across the glass surface. Prasha's tattoos began to glow an orange red. His stare was deep. Prasha began to calmly chant his native toungue.
Depends on what you mean by martial. Running? Combat? My use of Pokemon? Prasha had known the voices in his head. His father had a Hypno that used to tap into his dreams for fun and his father used to call him in for dinner telepathically.
I am ready for what ever we face Zan, You are right about my untapped potential. My father died before he taught me how to use it.
Prasha stopped his meditation and quietly sat down beside Zan. "What ever you need, Zan."
I have currently opened up Squirt's mind to allow for outside knowledge to simply be added to his own. I want you to run through some of your Fighting type maneuvers mentally...he will study and then learn the images presented...he always learned better that way. In order for him to evolve...he must be strong in spirit, mind, and body. I provide strength of mind, you provide strength of body...and all of us as a unit provide the bolstering to the strength of spirit. Once we are successful, I have no doubt he will evolve...and then we shall press on to capture our quarry...provided everything is in readiness.
Whenever you are settled, Prasha, you may begin.
Do not fight for a cause or for what you believe in: Fight for yourself, because who you are rarely changes. Zandrophin
Prasha walked over to Squirt and rubbed his head. Kneeling down to Squirt's eye level Prasha instructed him to be very attentive. Prasha then summoned Nachos to his side.
"All right Squirt. Fighting type camp 101. This first move is very essential. All right Nachos use Bulk Up." Prasha watched Nachos use Bulk Up and turned his attention to Squirt. "All right! You see that Squirt? Lets try it. It raises your attack and defense." Prasha let Squirt try the move and to his surprise Squirt was able to pull it off after a few tries.
"Ok. This Absol we are going after is known for Feinting away and running fast. So We are going to Learn a move called Focus Punch. Squirt. Use your focus and lock in on Absol. Doing this you will be able to track it were ever it goes. I am also going to teach you Lock-On." Prasha instructed Squirt to the best of his ability. After some test runs with Nachos as the dummy, Squirt seemed to pick up on the three moves.
Prasha gave Squirt another head rub. "Good job, buddy. You will do just great." Prasha slipped Squirt an Everything Bar. "Hope that helps you as well, It will stay in your system and absol wont be able to really harm your defense or Specials.
"Ok. I think I am done Zan." Prasha gave Nachos a Razz Square, who popped it in his mouth and chewed it happily.
Prasha had finished his small tutorial with Squirt. Zandrophin could sense that Squirt was now much more able, physically, to proceed with the process. Zandrophin knew that, once Squirt evolved, he may forget the moves specifically, but he will still remember the concepts.
Still deep in meditation, Zandrophin replied,
"Very well done, old boy...I do believe his body is now ready to unlock his next step. Squirt, if you would....come rejoin Mentus and myself in meditation. Prasha, take your position opposite of me within the circle.Once we combine our energies, we should be able to break down any walls preventing him from advancing."
Do not fight for a cause or for what you believe in: Fight for yourself, because who you are rarely changes. Zandrophin
Prasha joined zan in the circle. As he walked toward Zan his tattoos and eyes glowed blue and purple. Prasha sat down and opened his mind letting the energy flow through his body. The pair of auras swirled around the garden the trees began to move as if wind was hitting them.
Prasha began to Chant again, the ancient Saffron rolled off his tongue into the air. Prasha made the chant echo using the energy of his voice to push it of the walls at high speed causing it to sound like chimes and melodies.
Prasha was ready to get this journey started. Prasha stopped chanting and slowly began to simmer down his body energy.

The two auras connected with each other...this combination caused a visible effect upon the surrounding area as the energy was focused over Squirt.
The Wartortle began to glow slightly. Zandrophin sensed this and said,
It begins.
The glowing became brighter...and Squirt changed shape. The light was nearly blinding, and then it began to dim...and a Blastoise was now sitting in Squirt's place.
We were successful. Everyone, withdraw from your minds; return to reality.
Zandrophin stood and faced Squirt, who was still trying to come to grips with his new form.
"How do you feel?"
"Blastoise!"
"Good...you're ready to travel with us. It will be dangerous, and if I need you...you must be ready."
Squirt nodded his affirmation as he was returned to his Dive ball. Before Zandrophin and Prasha left...Zandrophin felt another presence in the garden.
Mentus...go!
Mentus began to teleport quickly around the garden...trying to locate and draw out the invader.
Sir! You'd better come look at this!
"Prasha, follow me!"
The pair ran to the far end of the garden, where a Roselia was busy tending to the flowers. The Pokemon looked up at the two men, slightly confused,
"Rose?" it said, turning its head to one side.

Prasha was taken aback at the Rosalina that was tending to the flowers. Squirt's Evolution had already happened and Prasha thought to himself. Oh that's why he wanted this sneaky my boss is.
Prasha approached the Rosalina and knelt down to it. "Hey there Rosalina. Were you spooked? I'm sorry. Your doing a great job with the flowers. keep it up."
Prasha turned to Zan and started to laugh. "That Rosalina helps me with the flowers, Zan. Have you not noticed her before?"
Prasha swung he gear on his back and Nachos seemed to giggle as well. Nachos happily flexed his muscles and grunted. Then Nachos picked up the rest of the gear and started to walk toward the entrance.

"I do not recognize this Pokemon, Prasha....why did you not tell me we had such a lovely specimen here?"
The Roselia was flattered by the compliment, Zandrophin could tell.
A Grass type would be most useful, Sir. Perhaps not to track Absol, but definitely good for keeping the garden safe.
I agree, old friend. If Prasha will allow me to claim her as mine, she will be most helpful to me.
"Prasha, old boy, I'd like to request that I be allowed to take ownership of this lovely creature. We will keep her here, for now, but I would like to take her traveling, if it's okay with the both of you."
The Roselia looked up at Prasha...awaiting an answer,
"Rose?"
Do not fight for a cause or for what you believe in: Fight for yourself, because who you are rarely changes. Zandrophin
Zandrophin knelt down in front of the Roseila and looked at Mentus.
I may need you to translate for me...Grass types are often difficult for me to understand. Mentus nodded as Zandrophin spoke,
"I see you enjoy helping in my garden. I thank you for this, as I can't always be around to take care of it. Would you mind watching it for me until I return?"
"Roselia!"
She would love to, Sir.
"Rose...Roselia."
She...oh, this is just sad, Sir. She has no home...she was thrown out by her original Trainer.
Normally, Zandrophin was against taking in wild Pokemon, but the experience of being thrown out was all to familiar to him. He sympathized with this Roselia, and said,
"We'll take care of you, now. Would you like that? We won't abandon you. What do you say?"
"Roselia? Rose-rose!"
"Now, that's an affirmation, if ever I heard one. Alright...you keep a close guard over these flowers, and we'll be back in a few days."
Zandrophin stood up, hefted his pack, and walked out of the garden with Prasha, then out of the building.
"Mentus, lock up."
The building didn't appear any different...but nobody would be getting close to it.
Do not fight for a cause or for what you believe in: Fight for yourself, because who you are rarely changes. Zandrophin
Prasha started to walk looking at the buildings go by. The sheer excitement of a journey left Prasha's stomach to ache a bit. Prasha turned to Zan.
"So a Roselia? Never thought you as a grass type trainer. She will be hard to train, but knowing you. You probably have her under control." Prasha chuckled slightly.
"Hey Zan, I'll race you." Prasha had a demented sly grin. Then took off down the street running at a sub sonic speed. The wind whistled and snapped around him. Prasha then leaped and pushed of the sides of buildings until he made his way back to Zan and hung upside down on a bridge.
"Come on!! Don't be a Slowpoke!!" Prasha laughed, he was just to excited to travel along side of Zan..
Prasha calmed down and walked down the street flipping his Kukuri around his carving that he had almost finished. The shine of the blade leapt off buildings and Nachos tried to chase it. Prasha had stuck a wad of Figi gum in his mouth and offered Zan a piece.
"Hey Zan, What are the odds that you found me last year and now we are here walking along the path to go catch this Absol. I think its hilarious. I wonder if I will meet a new Pokemon. I honestly think Nachos needs a sparring partner, as well as a new brother." Prasha had not realized that he had opened up to Zan and that he was talking like a wild fire. He just felt calm from walking and felt like talking for some reason.
