"ROAR!"
A massive dragon roar came forth, as Axel looked expectantly at the giant white light in front of him.
That white light enveloped the Magikarp that Axel had just obtained.
After devouring a large pile of special food, the Gyarados successfully met the conditions for evolution, and a rich evolutionary light burst forth from its body.
Unlike any evolution Axel had seen before, the evolution of this Gyarados could truly be described as earth-shattering.
The area covered by the light stretched thirty meters long, almost exceeding the ten-story building beside it.
The radiance emitted from it bathed the entire residential complex, even encompassing some nearby buildings.
Many people in the community were awakened by the brightness, staring in astonishment at the scene unfolding in the pool.
After continuing for about ten minutes, the white light on Gyarados finally faded away.
A colossal Gyarados appeared before the crowd.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
— Gyarados: Level 39 (Ferocious Pokémon, evolved form of Magikarp, extremely violent in temperament, its Hyper Beam can incinerate everything.)
— Ability: Moxie (If it defeats an opponent, it becomes overconfident, increasing its Attack stat)
— Type: Water + Flying

— Potential: Champion level
— Held Item: None for now
— Tag: King's Gyarados (Golden)
• King's Gyarados: Once the king of the Magikarp clan, after evolving it still becomes the King's Gyarados, emitting a mighty roar upon appearing that lowers the opponent Pokémon's Attack stat.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Seeing Gyarados' panel, Axel was dumbfounded.
'This guy is way too overpowered!'
'Not only does it have the hidden ability Moxie, but it also comes with a golden tag that practically equates to the Intimidate ability.'
'A dual-ability Pokémon?'
Even those Pokémon Professors and Destiny Chosen Ones are still researching such things, and yet he had evolved one so easily.
And with the nearly doubled level surge, Axel truly realized how valuable the [Evolver] tag was.
If it weren't so late right now, he even wanted to go farm Little Blue a third time.
"Damn, such a huge Gyarados?"
"Normally Gyarados are only seven or eight meters long, how come this one looks like it's Dynamaxed?"
"Jeez, quick, take a photo and send it to the newspaper, at least worth a few thousand bucks."
Hearing these people talking, Axel rubbed his head in frustration.
He hadn't expected that the evolved Magikarp would become so massive. Fortunately, this was Aurient, where public safety was excellent.
If this were some other area, he might've already been targeted by villains...
"Gyarados, return to your ball for now, I'll introduce you to the others tomorrow."
"ROAR!"
Gyarados affectionately lowered its head, rubbing its whiskers against Axel, but showed no intention of going back.
A gust of fierce wind howled as a massive Flying-type energy formed a tornado, lifting Axel up onto its head.
Only then did Axel spot two women in kimono-like clothing standing not far away on the ground.
Their gazes at Gyarados were completely different from the other neighbors.
The neighbors, though envious and shocked upon seeing Gyarados, mostly had clear expressions.
But in these two women's eyes, Axel saw only greed.
"Sham, do it!", Karen threw out a Poké Ball, and a Delibird appeared in the sky above the community.
"His Gyarados just evolved. Though it looks fierce, it only just evolved, its level should be around thirty-nine."
"According to our instruments, Ho-Oh is only a bit over level thirty as well."
"We've got the advantage!"
"Got it!", Sham replied, also throwing out a Poké Ball.
A large pig-like Pokémon appeared on the ground.
This Pokémon was covered in brown fur, with a pig's nose and two long tusks on its face.
It was a Mamoswine.
The moment Mamoswine appeared, the temperature in the community dropped instantly, and faint snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
Both the Mamoswine on the ground and the Delibird in the sky flashed with an upward light ring, indicating a defensive stat boost.
Watching the opponent's actions, Axel blinked in confusion and instinctively opened his system panel.
He didn't even know these two girls. Why were they fighting already?
'The Freeloader tag is still active, isn't it?'
'Forget it, just fight back first.'
Facing the opponent's weather move, Axel immediately responded.
A rainbow-colored Sacred Fire split through the sky as Ho-Oh's figure appeared above the community.
All the falling snowflakes turned into steaming mist, dissipating before they even touched the ground.
A huge amount of mist formed, and the visibility in the entire community dropped to its lowest point.
A faint red glow flickered in Axel's eyes as he searched through the mist for the enemy's position.
When the two women made their moves just now, Axel had already confirmed the levels of their Pokémon via the system panel.
Delibird was slightly lower, a level 45 gym leader-class Pokémon.
Mamoswine was level 54. Even among gym leaders, that was considered high-tier.
In Axel's psychic detection, the life force of those two Pokémon stood out like blazing furnaces.
"Pheonix, Holy Fire, 30 degrees downwards, go!"
After locking onto the enemies, Axel immediately commanded Ho-Oh to attack the opponent's Pokémon.
Since Sacred Fire consumed too much energy, Axel didn't fire all of them at once.
Even though the opponent's Pokémon were doubly weak to Fire-type, upon seeing their combination, an extremely terrifying old man flashed through Axel's mind.
If these two really were related to Masked Man, then this battle had to be handled with extra care.
Under the scorching of Sacred Fire, the lingering snow and mist in the sky boiled instantly, and the area from the pool to the front gate was completely enveloped in fog.
Even the most advanced cameras couldn't capture what was going on inside.
Axel grinned, his right hand brushing his waist, placing Mewtwo's Poké Ball into his palm.
In the Pokémon Special manga, Mewtwo was always a power restrained existence.
First studied by Team Rocket, then merged with Shiba's genes, able to fight for only a few minutes.
Until the final battle, Shiba finally broke the connection with Mewtwo using Entei's power.
Even so, the official storyline never dared to put an unrestricted Mewtwo in a fight with Masked Man, fearing that Mewtwo would break the plot.
Right now, the enemy was just possibly related to Masked Man, and Axel's Mewtwo even had a level advantage.
Axel wanted to see… how someone like the famous Masked Man of Johto would compare to Mewtwo.
"Mewtwo, go into the fog, take care of those two Pokémon, and their trainers!"
