Looking at the departing Colress, Axel was slightly stunned.
'I haven't even used Eternatus yet, and you just ran off?'
'Also, since when did I become the Masked Man?'
'Doing it like this, I'm really worried about Pryce, you know?'
Gardevoir was the first to figure out the key point, laughing so hard she bent forward and backward.
["Masked Man... he saw Little Ho-oh, and N behind you, and thought you were here to kidnap children..."]
Axel: "..."
'So it can even be like that?'
'A three-minute moment of silence for Pryce.'
However, as an excellent team leader certified by Flint, Axel couldn't just watch Pryce get beaten with no preparation.
He quickly asked Karen for Pryce's contact info and had Rotom set up a virtual number.
Beep! Beep!
The call connected quickly, and a kindly voice came from the other side.
["Hello, I'm Pryce, the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town Gym. May I ask what's the matter?"]
Holding back his laughter, Axel said with a straight face, "I'm from the Plasma Team in Unova. The current world is already on the brink of division, and the oppression of Pokémon by humans is getting more and more serious."
"We, Team Plasma, have decided that everyone must release their Pokémon and live harmoniously with them."
"As a Gym Gym Leader, you should be the first to release your Piloswine and Delibird!"
After saying that, Axel had Rotom fly to N's side.
Pryce was stunned for a moment, and then immediately launched into a wave of national quintessence + crosstalk style output.
N was baptized out of nowhere and once again realized how many flaws there were in Team Plasma's ideology.
Just when N's eyes were full of guilt and his body was trembling, about to say "I was wrong," Axel took Rotom back, "You actually dare to insult the King of Team Plasma? In a few days we'll tear down your Gym!"
Pryce: ["If you've got the guts then come!"]
"Fine, we'll come. If I don't punish you, come to Unova to bother me, you know?"
"We Team Plasma have the Seven Sages, and the new leader Colress has heaven-defying means, even capable of reviving legendary Pokémon, and we should be afraid of you?"
After saying that, Axel hung up the phone without hesitation.
His Pokémon couldn't hold it in anymore; Gardevoir and Pheromosa leaned on each other, bodies trembling nonstop.
Little Ho-oh and Eternatus hugged each other, rolling on the ground and laughing.
Iono and N were both stunned, looking at Axel in confusion, their eyes clear and innocent, "What's wrong with them?"
"And Pryce is a very respected Gym Gym Leader, isn't scaring him like that a bit too, you know?"
Axel briefly explained Pryce's true identity, and Iono couldn't help laughing as well.
"Hahaha, you really are something. If there's no official evidence to take action, then just let two villain organizations take turns smashing the poor Gym."
N blinked and suddenly looked at Axel with some admiration in his eyes.
Without making a sound, he made two regional villain organizations fall into great trouble, this is what a trainer should do.
Poor him had his outlook twisted since childhood and almost helped the villain.
"Mr. Axel, I will learn from you!", After saying that, N strode toward the other side of Skyarrow Bridge.
Zoroark also showed Axel a grateful look, and followed without hesitation.
At this moment, night slowly fell, and the lights of Castelia City lit up, even brighter and more splendid than the starry sky.
Gardevoir and Iono couldn't help leaning against Axel, looking into the distance.
Iono pointed excitedly in the direction of Paldea, "Axel, my mom is definitely watching me right now, and she even said she'd become my No.1 supporter today, but unfortunately her phone just got broken."
"You don't know, my mom really supports my work, she..."
In Iono's endless chatter, Axel gently patted Iono's head and looked up at the sky.
After today's battle, his Eternatus was finally not too far from level 40.
If they fought a few more battles together and ate a few more special meals, it would soon be time to visit his parents.
'With Gigantamax now, Dad and Mom should finally be completely safe, right?'
Click!
With a crisp sound, a smiling face appeared on the Rotom screen in the distance.
"Roto! Roto!"
"This photo is great!'
"In a while we can take a family photo!"
Axel grinned, 'Indeed it would soon be time for a family photo.'
"Let's go take a walk on the bridge…"
———
Early the next morning, Axel was awakened by Gyarados's roar.
He skillfully fumbled around the bedside and casually threw out a random Poké Ball.
After doing all that, Axel stretched lazily and walked out of the room.
Iono, who had sneaked back to his room in the middle of the night, along with Flint and Raihan, were already waiting at the door, eagerly waiting for Axel to get up and cook.
From yesterday's chat with Raihan, Flint already knew that a large part of their team leader's strength came from raising Water-type Pokémon.
"Morning everyone, just sit anywhere. Breakfast will be ready in half an hour."
Axel greeted them one by one, casually put on a jacket, and headed toward the cafeteria.
An hour later, after eating and drinking their fill, Raihan left satisfied with his newly fully-evolved Duraludon.
He also took Axel's Duraludon with him, planning to give it a Gyarados-style special training.
Iono took little bites of the food, waiting for Axel to send Flint away.
After eating Axel's cooking, Flint was totally amazed by him.
After today's meal, he could clearly feel that his Infernape's strength had greatly improved.
Rapidash's mane had become softer and smoother, and all the other Pokémon had also changed in different degrees.
As long as he stuck around Axel for a while, even if Axel didn't teach him core training, his strength would be enough to completely surpass Cynthia.
Flint quietly stuffed some leftover food into his pocket and asked about today's battle plans.
"Leader, what's the arrangement for today?"
Axel pondered for a moment.
Right now Gyarados's training schedule was full, and Dragonair's combat level had also been performing brilliantly these past few days.
More importantly, since the general was taken away by Raihan for special training, Axel was a little worried about letting those two guys go alone.
Thinking it over, the ones most in need of improvement now were Eternatus and Nihilego.
But both of their battle styles were rather extreme, and might cause the students at Blueberry Academy to mentally collapse.
To prevent them from making their opponents cry, they needed to bring along a psychological healing master, Sableye.
Otherwise, by the next day, everyone at Blueberry Academy would be hiding to avoid them.
Thinking that, Axel took out the Poké Balls of the three guys and handed them to Flint.
"Today you take these three and go play the Baby Cup."
"Try not to lose, okay? I'm kind of in a hurry to challenge the Elite Four."
At the mention of battle, Flint's eyes immediately filled with confidence.
'Lose?
'I, the dignified Fire-type Elite Four of Sinnoh, will never lose at Blueberry Academy.'
To improve efficiency, Flint took out his communicator and sent a message to Crispin.
"Help me inform the students that today I'll be at the school square giving combat guidance."
"Anyone whose ranking is above Leader Axel's can come."
Hanging up on Rotom, Flint headed toward the Blueberry Square full of fighting spirit.
