There were a lot of changes. First was its health points which had increased by 1000 and now it was around 10k. Second was its stats which have developed a lot. 3 of its stats were already over B rank and it should be considered as a tier 2 king-rank Pokemon but it has still not ranked up to tier 2.
Next were its moves. It had learned 1 new move which was 'Poison armor'. Axel realized that it had a knack for learning new moves at a faster rate. He then looked at the move description of other moves that had leveled up.

Almost all of its moves had crossed the threshold again and they had become even stronger. Axel could see that the ground-type moves had not developed very well like poison-type moves.
There were a lot of things that Axel had in mind for Nidoking and its future training plans.
The first was to upgrade its existing ground type moves to a new level. That would take some time but he had some idea relating to it. Next was to somehow combine electric type with poison type.
Nidoking's hidden power typing was electric. Nidoking had not explored much of it till now. What if he creates an electric type move with poison type move and somehow enhance the effect. That could be possible as electric type move had a lot of penetrating power.
However, first, he had to level up one of the electric type move to level 40 and above. This would improve the hidden power mastery to a new height and it would be easier to master a new move relating to electric type.
He would have to take very careful steps now. First was the ground-type armor.
"Meg, first use 'Sand storm and then 'Sand hardening' and try to make an armor around you. The armor should not be very heavy.", said Axel.
Nidoking tried to make it but it was unsuccessful. Nidoking could make swords, spears and knives but it could not make complex moves like chains and armors.
"Try to do it. Take your time. You don't have to worry about being late.", convinced Axel.
###
"Mom, how much did we make today?", asked Axel.
"We did around 4 million today deducting all the expenses.", said Cerlin.
This was the 4th day and they had made around 12 million Poke dollars. This was quite a money for only 4 days.
Tomorrow would be the battle between king rank Pokemons. There were only 6 of them in tier 1. So, tomorrow's battle would end within a few hours. That was why, they decided to add tier 2 king rank battle too. This would make the crowd very lively and the competition would take a full day to complete.
###
Axel was very busy with this competition but he could not neglect these new Pokemons specially Riolu. It had just become a member of his party and it was very eager to train.
Axel first told Riolu to use all of its known moves, so that he could understand it better. He took out a book and handed it to Riolu. This was a martial art book and it was a training manual. He had bought this at a very high price from the Venu family.
This martial arts was a very high rank martial arts and it was very scarce. The good thing about this martial art was that it started with the basic moves and then went on to the most advanced moves.
Axel had also been training in a sword manual. Axel believed that Riolu could also train on it. Aura could do many magical things but first, it needed to learn hand-to-hand combat.
Axel began to explain the end result of this martial art to Riolu and this got it excited.
"If you want to use your aura efficiently, then you must train in these moves. However, first, you have to improve your physical stat. So, let's go to the training ground.", said Axel and took him to one of the training grounds that was able to train in basic stats.
Axel also looked at the aues energy description.

Aues energy:
Stage I: This would increase the talent of the user in physical moves and also in physical training. It would also raise the potential of the user.
---
Axel had expected it to be something similar to it. He was happy with this passive move. This was perfect for a physical attacker like Riolu.
They first reached the training ground related to speed. There were many ways to train speed and reaction of the Pokemon. First, there was a long distance of 1 km and there were short distances of 50 meters and 100 meters.
"Riolu, go to the 50 meters and use your highest speed. I want to see how fast you can run.", said Axel.
Riolu with excitement went there to test its speed.
"Now, Run!!!", shouted Axel and it ran with its full speed.
Axel looked at the lock and saw the result. It was 8 seconds. That was not a good result for a Pokemon that would focus on its body.
"Riolu, rest for 1 minute and do it again. Do it like this. You need to position your body like this and that would increase the speed."
Axel started to correct the position of Riolu and also told how it should run. This time it was able to decrease the time to 5 seconds. That meant 10 meters in 1 second. That was a good standard.
However, Axel wanted it to improve even more.
Axel then told it to test in 100 meters.
This went on for some time and then Axel realized a very serious problem. Riolu had very low stamina. It was already tired after 20 minutes. Riolu will be a physical attacker in the future. So, it must have good physical stats. If it became tired after running for 20 minutes, that was a huge problem.
"Riolu, come here. First rest for 20 minutes. You first need to improve your stamina to a good level. Only, then could you train in speed and attack move. You must realize everything needs stamina. Running, attacking, defending. Everything needs stamina. So, first, we are only going to concentrate on stamina training, martial arts training, and speed training for some days. Only then we will move towards other things."
