"Cough cough... just now I was playing with Flygon."
"Accidentally got bumped out from the doorway by him, and heard the word 'Glastrier.'"
Raihan's face didn't turn red, heart didn't skip a beat, casually making up a reason nobody would believe.
Anyway, his skin was dark, even if it turned red, others wouldn't see it.
"Can you tell me about Glastrier?", Mentioning Glastrier, Raihan obviously became serious.
Because of the question Rose had brought up, the people of the Galar region all valued improving their strength.
And Raihan had once seen in an ancient record information about the "Crown Tundra."
In the extreme cold land in the south of Galar, it was rumored there were still a few legendary Pokémon.
And Glastrier was one of them.
If it could be found, it would undoubtedly provide great help for the continuation of the Galar region.
Seeing Raihan was interested in Glastrier, Axel nodded, "What's there that can't be said? In a while, I'll take you to see it all."
Raihan was stunned, "See it where?"
"To the square," Axel tilted his head toward the square's direction:
"I just happened to have captured Glastrier a few days ago, didn't expect this guy to cause trouble today."
"The two teachers came over to get me to go retrieve Glastrier and the other Pokémon."
Raihan: "???"
'Damn it, captured another one?'
'First it was Eternatus, and then Glastrier.'
'Do all of Galar's legendary Pokémon like you or what?'
'Why don't you also go capture the legendary Zamazenta and Calyrex!'
'Then Galar wouldn't be Galar anymore, it would be Axel Region, wouldn't it?'
"Alright, I'll go with you all to take a look!"
———
When Axel arrived at the square, the square was in a harmonious scene.
The ground had been cleaned spotless, and was also covered with a layer of seemingly non-melting hard ice, looking especially textured.
At the very front of the arena, Mewtwo was playing a projected image, its sharp gaze sweeping repeatedly over Glastrier, Flint, and Principal Cyrano.
Axel glanced roughly, all of Flint's Pokémon, over half of his own Pokémon, and some faculty members were all seated cross-legged on the stage.
Even Lacey and Carmine, as well as several other Blueberry Academy Elite Four members, were there.
All that was missing from the cast was Karen...
Under Mewtwo's training, these people looked just like obedient kindergarten kids, all staring intently at the projected screen.
Only Flint was an exception, while everyone else was sitting properly, he chose to lie down.
The reason was very simple, When Mewtwo had them watch cartoons, it would occasionally throw out a question.
["You... answer me the meaning of going to school!"]
["You... answer me the meaning of teaching!"]
These were fine, as teachers they had all taught something after all.
But when it got to Flint, he was directly stumped.
This guy was asked what his purpose in coming to Blueberry Academy was.
He just said, "To play in an exhibition match."
The next moment, Mewtwo's eyes flashed red, and Flint felt like he almost saw his great-grandmother.
If it wasn't that he couldn't beat Mewtwo, he would've definitely said, "Cyrano told me to come play an exhibition match, why are you hitting me?"
"Neighhh!", Seeing Axel appear, Glastrier let out an excited whinny.
'Boss, save me!'
'I just helped you pretend a little earlier, and then Mewtwo pinned me here to watch cartoons!'
Axel: "..."
'Isn't that just what you deserve?'
'I might have wanted to mess with Flint, but I didn't tell you to throw money at him, did I?'
"Alright, rest in the Poké Ball. I'll let you out again when it's time to eat later," Axel shoved Mewtwo and Glastrier and the rest straight into Poké Balls, then turned around, apologetically looking at Cyrano and Flint.
"Sorry, Principal Cyrano, this Pokémon of mine really loves peace, can't stand seeing people fight."
"But Glastrier especially likes to fight..."
"No problem," Cyrano quickly stood up, waving for the faculty and students present to all leave.
He didn't look like he cared about what just happened at all. Instead, he was full of excitement.
As a principal, what he most hoped for was for strong people to come to the school.
Especially strong people among the students.
Even though the Elite Four and Gym Leaders were strong, in their exhibition matches the students would at most watch for a while, unable to gain much more insight.
But strong students were different.
They could actually battle Blueberry Academy's students in the ranking matches, making the academy's students stronger and stronger.
"Please make sure battles like this continue."
"As long as you want, your Pokémon can battle any student in our school."
Axel: "???"
'Principal, have you considered the students' feelings doing this?'
Cyrano blinked, automatically ignoring Axel's expression.
'People who care about saving face can't be educators.'
He slightly lowered his eyes and continued speaking to Axel:
"I remember Teacher Briar said you and Gym Leader Raihan came over this time for the composite metal?"
"With your strength, you'd normally have to clear the ranking matches and challenge the Elite Four and Champion."
"But because of the school rules, normally you can only battle five matches a day, you wouldn't want to waste all that time, right?"
Axel blinked, feeling a little tempted.
Not that he wanted to bully people, mainly because there were indeed some urgent matters to handle in the Sinnoh region.
"In that case, I won't be polite."
"Don't you be polite with me," Seeing Axel agree, Cyrano grinned.
Flint also gave a cold snort, standing to the side with arms crossed.
Although he had been beaten twice in a row by Axel's Pokémon, Axel's apology attitude was obviously sincere now.
If no other problems came up later, Flint wasn't going to pursue it.
Just then, Cyrano pulled over Flint, whom he had gotten to know during class earlier.
"Let me introduce you to each other, this is the top student Axel, here for exchange studies at our academy, and this is Mr. Flint, one of the Sinnoh League's Elite Four."
"Wait!", Flint's eyes lit up, the gloom on his face instantly disappearing.
His gaze skipped past Raihan and Briar, landing on Axel, "Principal Cyrano, you're saying he's Axel?"
Axel blinked, his smile freezing.
He suddenly had a bad premonition.
'No way, my Pokémon have tormented you twice, why do you have this expression?'
'Can't be a masochist, right?'
Seeing Axel not denying it, Flint couldn't help bursting into loud laughter.
This wave was completely effortless.
Originally, he'd been thinking about how to successfully become Axel's disciple, and now he'd actually been beaten by the his Pokémon.
And beaten twice in a row at that.
If he didn't take advantage of this, he wouldn't be worthy of being an Elite Four, right?
More importantly, the issue Infernape was worried about hadn't happened at all.
Who said the other only knew tactics?
His berserk fighting style was clearly fiercer than any strategy.
'Infernape, oh Infernape, from now on we'll also fight while using Iron Defense.'
