[Secret Realm Entrance]
Two streaks of white light flashed in succession, and Axel holding Kirlia and a filthy rich Gary simultaneously appeared in Jasmine Village.
"Damn, this secret realm is just too dirty. A Dragon-type Pokémon actually learned all these messy, weird skills."
"Grandpa clearly said that the strongest tags of Dragon-type Pokémon are their fangs and claws. This guy totally doesn't deserve such a high evaluation, right?"
Gary's young and proud heart was clearly deeply shocked, cursing non-stop.
Combined with his clothes that got dirty from rolling to dodge the Tyrantrum, he looked just like a beggar from slums.
Only after seeing Axel did Gary feel a little better.
'Looking at this guy's clean and neat appearance, he probably lost without even fighting, right?'
Outside of gym battles and official competitions, trainers' wild battles are allowed to attack the trainer themselves.
And under such circumstances, unless the strength difference is very large, a trainer would definitely end up dirty after a battle.
'This isn't dirt, it's the glory of a trainer!'
"Axel, how do you feel about this Tyrantrum's strength?"
Axel pondered for a moment and lightly nodded, "Very strong. I only managed to defeat that Tyrantrum because I happened to have Kirlia."
'Defeated the Tyrantrum?'
Gary's mind buzzed, as if a bomber had dropped two atomic bombs inside his brain.
'Such a difficult stage, even borrowing a Pokémon I couldn't pass it, how did Axel manage?'
'Wait a minute...'
'Kirlia?'
Now fully awake, Gary finally focused his attention on the Kirlia in Axel's arms, the corner of his mouth twitching like crazy, his facial expression management on the verge of collapse.
'What the hell?'
'What's going on!'
'This guy not only defeated the Tyrantrum but did it with that dumb-looking Ralts!'
Gary's heart hurt for 0.01 seconds, but he quickly understood the key point.
'That Ralts really had high potential, it only seemed dumb because it had the same kind of problem as Psyduck.'
Gary immediately got jealous.
'That's a super-strong Ralts that can defeat a gym-leader-level Tyrantrum right after being trained!'
'And to think I didn't want to catch it at the time, and even advised Axel not to catch it...'
'It's fine, it's fine,' Gary frantically comforted himself.
'He just cleared the first level, and I will clear it soon too.'
'By then, both of us will still be on the same starting line.'
'No, my starting line is even higher.'
'I can borrow Pokémon from my sister Nanami and brother Green, but Axel could only rely on himself to find a way through.'
'The advantage is still mine!'
Thinking this, Gary spoke with a tone of pride, slightly nodding, "Then your luck is pretty good. I was just about to clear the first level too. Let's compete to see who clears the second level first."
Looking at Gary's smug face, Axel suddenly remembered, 'Only Officer Jenny and Chairman Ishida know I cleared the stage yesterday.'
"Um... is it possible that what I just cleared was the second level?"
Gary: "???"
'What the hell?'
'This guy actually cleared the second level!'
'Then everything I just said, wasn't that just making a clown of myself?'
He now unilaterally declares: the clown is not in Gotham, but on himself...
"Axel."
"Hmm? What's up?"
Gary looked seriously at the Kirlia in Axel's arms, "When you have time, can you come with me to the Kanto region once? I want my grandpa to study your Kirlia."
"Her appearance could possibly be a revolution in the Pokémon world."
Saying this, Gary pulled out his Pokédex (Special Edition).
"Look at this, it can test a Pokémon's level and skills."
"But when facing that Ralts the other day, the Pokédex showed her level as low and no skills."
"This just shows, we've missed a lot of high-potential Pokémon!"
"Mm, you're right," Axel agreed with Gary's words, then turned to leave.
'Come on, the Kanto region has the villain boss Giovanni, what will I go there for?'
But just as he was about to leave Gary's line of sight, Gary suddenly caught up driving a car.
"If you're willing to meet my grandpa, he might give you a Dratini."
Axel's steps immediately stopped, "I've admired Professor Oak for a long time."
'In front of the original pseudo-legendary hugging dragon, what's Giovanni?'
At worst, he could delay a bit, wait until he brings out Mewtwo, or a shiny Mega Fearow from the dream world before heading over.
'Emmm... if possible, Mew will also be a good choice.'
'Anyway, the Pokémon in my dream world are like in a game, there's no such thing as being unable to catch them.'
'As long as I have one of those three Pokémon with me, can Giovanni still eat me?'
———
After returning to the city, Axel didn't go home immediately but made a trip to the food market.
After clearing Brock's gym, he got a tag called [Gourmet Master]. The effect was that all food he made would be super delicious.
That tag didn't take up a slot, it directly fused into [Breeder].
Now, Kirlia was still fine, her strength was improving rapidly. The problem was Pheromosa.
At first, Axel intended to make her the main force, but now she had fallen too far behind Kirlia.
He had to boost her up quickly.
Close to noon, Axel had already prepared a whole table of dishes.
Besides some regular dishes, he also made donuts with Bug-type gem powder and Fairy-type gem powder.
These foods could greatly boost Pheromosa and Kirlia's growth rate.
After doing all this, Axel nodded in satisfaction, told the two little ones to sit properly, and turned to leave the room.
After being fed by Aunt Stacy and the little loli for so many years, it was finally his turn to feed them once.
"Axel, why are you being all mysterious," The little loli had apparently stayed up late last night.
When Axel dragged her out of bed, she was only wearing a thin gauze nightdress.
Aunt Stacy had just returned from buying groceries and was also pulled over by Axel.
The little loli seemed like she had lost her soul, hugging the Smoliv with one hand, eyes dazed, "I'm so hungry now, and you even interrupted my mom from cooking. If this isn't something important, I'll bite you to death."
Aunt Stacy smacked the little loli on the head, using her bloodline suppression move, "Won't sleep at night, won't wake in the morning, and you still have the nerve to threaten Axel."
"When I went out just now, I heard from the neighbors. Axel was already out early training his Pokémon."
"Ehe~", The little loli scratched her head awkwardly, then secretly shot Axel a death glare.
'Stupid Axel stabbed me in the back again.'
'Good thing I'm the biological one, or our relationship would've definitely gone down the drain!'
Opening the door and seeing a whole table of food, the little loli immediately forgot Axel's "betrayal," eyes sparkling.
"Axel, when did you learn to cook?"
Aunt Stacy, however, looked at Pheromosa, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Although she hid it well, Axel still caught it.
'Aunt Stacy is really not simple. Normal people wouldn't recognize this kind of Pokémon.'
Invitation from the Kanto region, the mysterious identity of Aunt Stacy's family...
Combining the two, Axel's sense of urgency grew stronger.
Step one to becoming stronger, starts with eating well.
"Everyone, let's eat!"
