The night was peaceful, but for only Axel, Pawniard, and Garry. Other Primeapes were struggling as they didn't take the medicine for 'Vital Spirit'. They had been taking this medicine since childhood. Therefore, it was tough to break this habit.
Axel realized that the medicine was not only a cure, but it was also very addictive, like a drug.
"Okay, you can take this in small quantities, but eventually, all of you will have to let go of it."
Those Primeapes were getting angry because they hadn't taken the medicine. Axel had no choice but to decrease the consumption of the medicine slowly.
Mastering 'Vital Spirit' had many advantages. Axel believed that if this ability evolved, then Primeape could freely control its sleep and also train for days without needing to sleep. Currently, Garry can control its sleep for two days and maintain it while using moves like 'Rest' for the most part.

The next day,
Pawniard walked ahead unafraid of what was to come. Finally, they reached the Bisharp tribe. It was not called a Kingambit tribe because there was a rumor that there was no Kingambit in this tribe.
A tribe without Kingambit was like a tree without its roots. There was no substance. Bisharps and Pawniards in the tribe would not have had any confidence in facing their opponents because they didn't have their Kingambit.
But for a Bisharp to evolve into Kingambit was also not so simple. It was tough. A Bisharp had to fight with multiple Bisharps and win against them with its held high. Now, it might not look so difficult, but each of the Bisharp had honed their skills to the limit, so each of them was a prodigy on their own. Each of them had their pride and a unique set of skills.
"Well, we will know when we know.", said Axel.
As they were talking with each other, they finally reached the tribe's location. The tribe didn't have walls and gates like Primeape's tribe. It must be because they had recently joined the forest.
Pawniard took a step forward and shouted.
"PAWN!!! PAWNIARD!!!!!"
It started to revolve around slashing its sword hands here and there. It seemed to be asserting its dominance over the tribe.
Finally, someone from the tribe came forward. It was a Bisharp. It glared at Pawniard and finally let them inside.
Axel looked around, and the place appeared to be in the construction phase. There was a separate place for sharpening the swords, a training ground where they could fight with their hearts content, and many interesting things.
Unlike Primeape, the Bisharp tribe didn't look like they liked to live in caves. Some unique wooden and stone structures were being created. It didn't look like a house, but Axel could tell that this would be used for sleeping and resting.
In just a matter of a few minutes, all of the members of the tribe gathered around them. A few of the Bisharps came forward and began talking to Pawniard. Axel could vaguely understand what they were trying to do. They were trying to intimidate Pawniard, but surprisingly, his Pawniard didn't look intimidated. It puffed out its chest and started to talk in an arrogant voice.
His Pawniard must have balls made of steel. How could it not get intimidated when a king rank Bisharp was talking to it? It was just a common rank Pokemon!!!
The king rank Bisharp looked at Pawniard with approving nods, and then all the Pawniard stepped forward.
The Bisharp had allowed his Pawniard to challenge other Pawniard of their tribe.
###
Pokemon POV start
The king rank Bisharp looked at Axel's Pawniard and said, "Choose your opponent. You say that you can beat anyone. Let me see how true your words are."
Suddenly, all of the Pawniards of the tribe stepped forward. None of them spoke, but all of them were looking at Axel's Pawniard with hostility.
Axel's Pawniard was looking at all of them as if they were a speck of dust in his grand scheme. Its attitude was sky high, as if it would never lose to anyone. For it, this battle was just a confirmation of its powers.
It looked towards the bulkiest Pawniard and said, "I choose that guy."
At that time, most of the Pawniard started to laugh at the stupidity of Axel's Pawniard. The Pawniard that it chose was the strongest of them all.
All of them went to the training ground to see the battle. Now, only two Pawniards were on the training ground with Axel as a referee.
Axel wanted to command his Pawniard for better performance, but in this world, there was no concept of trainers, and it was considered cheating. So, Axel had to be the referee of the battle.
"Are you both ready to battle?", asked Axel.
Both of them nodded their heads.
[A/N: For this battle, Axel's Pawniard will be called as 'PawniardA']
"Let the battle begin!!!"
With a shout, both of them rushed towards each other and began to stab at each other with their swords. Both of them blocked each other's sword moves. PawniardA swirl around, letting Pawniard get stabbed by the sword on its body, but Pawniard seemed to be quite experienced. It directly stepped back and then used 'Iron Defense' to increase its defense.
Meanwhile, PawniardA used 'Agility' to increase its speed as it rushed towards Pawniard to strike again. This time, it was ready to use 'Sucker Punch'.
BANG!!!
PAWN!!!
PanwiardA gave a painful cry as it stepped back to see its wounds. It didn't know what had hit it. Pawniard was way back, but some invisible thing had struck it. It was actually 'Stealth rock'. Axel already knew about it from years of experience, but PawniardA could not tell it.
It had now become vigilant. After a short bout, PawniardA could tell that its opponent had higher experience in battle. So, it needed to create a strategy and win this battle as soon as possible.
'When your opponent is more experienced than you, how will you battle them and win?'
Axel had talked about this scenario. But Pawniard had never paid attention to Axel's long speech. It had its warrior's pride. It didn't need advice from others. At least, that was what it felt like,… till now.
Due to higher experience, Pawniard was winning this battle. So, PawniardA decided to play it safely. It used 'Iron Defense' twice. This was its trump card. It was now able to use 'Iron defense' twice, which increased its defense to a new level.
With confidence, PawniardA rushed towards Pawniard. Both of them were ready to strike. With the help of 'Agility', PawniardA was able to dodge Pawniard's strike, and it used the move 'Sucker Punch'. Its sword hands glowed in black light as it slashed them towards Pawniard's face.
BANG!!
As it was about to celebrate its small victory, it was hit by a devastating attack.
BANG!!!
Both of them flew back from the impact, and both of them crashed to the ground. Both of them started to stand up, but PawniardA looked like it was seriously injured from the fight.
But it still hasn't given up.
Pawniard had used the move 'Counter' by mixing it with 'Night Slash'. This was its trump card. It had been trained in this move for quite some time.
The combination of 'Counter' and 'Night Slash' was devastating.
Axel stood up to end the battle, but at that time, the King-rank Bisharp stepped forward to tell Axel to hold his decision.
'Don't worry, your friend needs this.', it seemed to say.
Axel didn't know what it was planning, but if Pawniard were going to injure it further, then he would not sit here lying down.
Pawniard tried its best to attack, but its leg was not holding still. Its injury was serious. There was a big gaping wound on its back, and currently, it needed rest but it refused to believe that it was losing this battle.
How could it lose this battle? It came forward like a king challenging everyone, and now it was losing? How could it face its trainer after losing the battle? It was embarrassing!!
To Axel's relief, Pawniard didn't injure it further. It was only dodging PawniardA's strike and hitting it in a non-injured area.
Axel might be relieved, but PawniardA was filled with indescribable anger. How dare this speck of dust take advantage of its vulnerable situation?
This went on for 5 minutes, and finally PawniardA could not hold it in and fainted on the spot.
"PAWN!!! PAWNIARd!!!!"
Shouted Pawniard from the top of its lungs, showing its victory. The rest of the Pawniard also began to shout in victory.
Meanwhile, Axel approached PawniardA and started using some medicinal plants to heal its body.
Bisharp also came and started to help Axel, which filled him with gratitude.
###
[A/N: Now, Axel's Pawniard will be called Pawniard]
After some hours, days, or months, Pawniard finally woke up from its sleep. It saw that its whole body was bandaged. It was afraid that something had happened to its sword on its body, but thankfully, they were okay.
It realized that it was having difficulty moving around. It looked around and saw that it was in one of the tribe's unique houses.
'How did I lose? How can I show my face to others now?', it thought.
Its face was filled with shame. This was the first time that it had lost to an opponent of its caliber.
The door opened, and Axel came inside.
###
Axel was having difficulty having a proper conversation with Pawniard. Whenever he started to speak, it would turn back on him. It was very embarrassing to talk to Axel. Axel had told him how to deal with such an opponent, but he never paid attention to him, and now it had failed.
"Pawniard, losing is not shameful. You can only learn when you lose. At that time, you realize the mistakes that you have made."
Pawniard turned towards Axel and said, "Pawn!!! Pawniard!!!!"
"You are going to lose plenty of times, but that doesn't mean that you are weak. To defeat that Pawniard, simply train hard. I will help you with it. And then we will rechallenge it."
It took some time, but Pawniard finally agreed. It decided that this time, it would follow Axel to the letter and become even stronger, rechallenging Pawniard.
"Okay, let's go now. We will now return."
Just when Axel said it, Pawniard went to sleep and didn't even move a muscle.
Axel's face twitched with annoyance. It was so embarrassed meeting with other Pawniard and Bisharp that it felt it would be easier just to act as if it had not woken up yet. With this, it would not have to face them.
"Sigh, okay. I will carry you, but you better train how I say from now on."
