Pokemon In Cultivation World

Tomorrow, in Blake's cavern.

In the dimly lit environment, a red-haired girl was staring at a floating sword. The sword pointed itself at her like a invisible human was holding it, while the girl held her own sword erect near her right shoulder,holding the sword with both hands.

Blake stared at Honedge intensely, both did not move an inch. Only Blake's breaths were heard as they silently looked at each other. Blake suddenly stepped forward and charged at Honedge at full speed!

"Hyaaa!!"

Blake lifted her sword up once she was in range and swung it downwards at Honedge. He immediately blocked it, but Blake's expression didn't even change as she spun her sword and attacked Honedge from the other side. Honedge blocked it again.

Sparks flew from the blades as they clashed again and again, small amounts of sweat rolled down from Blake's cheeks as she looked somewhat tired. Honedge's state was unknown as his expression was always unchanged and his metal body didn't sweat.

"HAA!" Blake did a thrust at Honedge.

Honedge lifted itself up like it was being held by a invisible opponent and swung downwards at Blake's sword, making it go down to the ground and throwing Blake off balance. Before Blake even tried to regain balance, she saw a blade stopping very close to her neck as her pupils trembled and widened a bit. It was Honedge's victory.

"Really, I can't win against you." Blake sighed as she shook her head and put her sword back in her sheath. Honedge also also got out from Blake's neck.

This was the twentieth time they fought today, and while every fight didn't even last half a minute, it was still very tiring for Blake. Blake didn't win a single time, but she was not surprised by the result at all.

Honedge has the same experience of a sword master who trained for dozens of years since he was born, maybe he was even slightly better. Blake has only some months of experience using swords, and while she could fight way better than a ordinary person because of her Aura powers, she still had a long way to go before beating Honedge.

*Growl*

Riolu was intensely staring at Honedge,holding a Super Potion in hand. He insisted to Blake to give him something in case of a accident happening. He looked pretty pissed as he growled at Honedge like a angry dog, he didn't like Honedge almost cutting Blake's neck like that. Honedge didn't seem to care, Blake felt like if he had shoulders, he would have shrugged them.

"Riolu, stop staring at Honedge like that. It was just training, he wasn't going to harm me at all." Blake gave a small laugh and shook her head, patting Riolu. He looked away, visibly embarrassed. His tail was even waggling a bit, Blake found it very cute.

"Riolu! Riolu!!"

"Hm? Someone is coming?" Riolu nodded. Blake quickly took out miniature pokeballs from her bag, which expanded in her hand. She pointed the pokeballs at them and they were s.u.c.k.e.d in with red rays of light.

"Mistress Blake!"

Moments later, some did enter her cave. It was Ye Xia, who was carrying a lot of things. She bowed and gave Blake a towel to dry herself from sweat, put her meal in a table and went on to clean the place. Blake was a bit dazed as she watched Ye Xia do everything from cooking her meal to cleaning her cave.

At first Blake thought there would be little to nothing inside since it was a cave and all, but it properly had furniture so she didn't need to sleep on the ground. The sect wasn't poor so they could afford furniture for every disciple, and while the bed and the rest weren't the greatest, they were still pretty okay.

The place got a little bit messy since she fought intensely with Honedge, and Ye Xia properly cleaned the entire place. Anyone who doesn't know much about the situation would think she was Blake's personal maid. Blake was eating the meal Ye Xia made for her, it was delicious, and she was pretty hungry too after all that practice. She was also surprised by one thing, how did Ye Xia know exactly when her training was over?

The meal was still a little bit hot so it was recently cooked, and she even brought a towel over, she was obviously prepared. Blake shrugged and decided to not mind it. If she was stalking Blake, Riolu would have detected it long ago.

"Mistress Blake, I will go heat the water up for you to take a bath in a while." Said Ye Xia once she finished cleaning the house. She also took the food plate and put it in a bag.

"Ye Xia, please call me something else, mistress feels really weird."

"Big Sister Blake?" Ye Xia stopped for a moment to think and said. Blake eyes twitched.

"Can't you just call me Blake?"

"I'm deeply sorry but I must refuse, a servant like myself mustn't address you so casually." Ye Xia was very stubborn on this. Blake sighed.

"Big Sister Blake it is then." At least it was better than mistress.

"I will excuse myself out now. I must heat the water up."

"Wait, I want to ask you something." Blake stopped her.

"What is it Big Sister Blake?"

"The guy from yesterday, he said something about a tournament."

"Oh.." Ye Xia face had a bit of guilt in it as she recalled the events of yesterday. Blake frowned, this girl still blamed herself for what happened.

"It's a tournament but at the same time it's also the examination to enter the inner sect."

"What do you mean?" Blake curiosity spiked up once she heard "enter the inner sect", she wanted to become a inner disciple as fast as possible to live near Little Xun and Fang.

"Every year, the sect organizes a big examination in the outer sect. It works like a tournament and the disciples have to fight each other for a spot in the inner sect. There is only 50 spots. This year examination will be in a week."

"Thanks, Ye Xia."

Ye Xia went out to heat the water for Blake's bath, while Blake herself was in her cave thinking about her words.

'A tournament, huh? Guess I need to prepare myself. I think it's time to take some martial art classes and Aura training with Riolu.'
