July 8th, Axel sent Karen and Shem, who attacked him, to the police station.
Delibird Trainer Shem violated Aurient's public security, had her Pokémon confiscated, and was sentenced to 99 years in prison.
Mamoswine Trainer Karen committed a terrorist attack and was sentenced to death by Officer Jennie.
———
July 15th, Axel and Gardevoir were summoned to the police station, and each received a reward of 10,000.
Axel had a bit of a headache, afraid that Gardevoir would do something to him.
Fortunately, Gardevoir did not get handsy with him and instead gave all the 10,000 reward to Axel.
On the same day, the little loli was selected into the Central Province Youth Science Academy to participate in a certain secret research.
In the period that followed, Axel did not run around and devoted all his energy to training Pokémon.
———
July 20th, Mewtwo's move pool was completed under Axel's efforts.
Based on its original foundation, it learned moves such as Disable, Encore, Recover, Trick, Grudge, Will-O-Wisp, Poison Jab, Protect, Substitute.
Axel felt a bit bored and sent Giovanni a message, "You there?"
Unfortunately, there was no reply.
———
July 30th, Pheromosa comprehended the move High Jump Kick and, driven by Nihilego's repeated cries of "big sister," became lost in herself and went to challenge Gardevoir.
Gardevoir's eyes showed a gratified expression and with one Confuse Ray made Pheromosa dizzy, helping her achieve the accomplishment of knocking herself out with two High Jump Kicks.
Nihilego was greatly shocked and decided never to engage in terrifying head-on battles again.
———
August 10th, with Axel's help, Nihilego finally learned Light Screen, Reflect, Substitute, Protect, and Rest, becoming an excellent initiator.
'Hahaha, I'm unkillable!'
———
August 20th, Rayquaza's projection awoke from slumber and secretly taught the Dragon General the move Draco Meteor.
———
August 21st, Gyarados was greatly shaken and hoped to use a move as powerful as the Dragon General's, so it used Flatter on him:
'Master's move is so trash, even a dog wouldn't learn it.'
'As a man, I must become the most violent dragon!'
August 22nd, Gyarados used Hydro Pump for a whole day.
August 23rd, Gyarados used Hydro Pump for a whole day.
August 24th, Dragonair yawned and used Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, and Dragon Dance in front of Gyarados.
While stunning Gyarados, she also happened to comprehend her race's racial ability, consecutively summoning Rainy Day, Snowy Day, Sunny Day, and Sandstorm weather.
——_
August 27th, Gyarados cried in Axel's arms like a thirty-meter-tall child.
Letting out a series of "woof woof woof" sounds, it declared that it would never choose its own moves again.
On the same day, Gyarados learned Scald, Roar, Rest, Body Slam, and Earthquake.
Gyarados hugged the Dragon General and wailed, 'General, I've become strong, but also dirty.'
———
August 29th, with a chirp from Little Ho-oh, everyone in Axel's team except Nihilego rose above Gym Leader level.
Among them, those still far from this level were: Mewtwo at level 62, Gardevoir at level 50, Nihilego at level 30.
———
August 30th, Axel finally gathered a big pile of tags in the Dream World, enough to upgrade a gold trait to Supreme level.
Seeing only two days left before school started, Axel finally breathed a sigh of relief.
All his anxiety stemmed from lack of firepower. Fortunately, now his firepower had finally caught up.
Level 40 Ho-oh, plus Mewtwo at level 63, who had mastered a bunch of higher-tier combat skills.
Even if Giovanni or Masked Man showed up, Axel dared to face them head-on.
After all, whether it was Giovanni's Beedrill or Masked Man's Swinub and Delibird, their species weren't particularly powerful.
They only had god-slaying power because their trainers taught them strong moves.
Combined with Mewtwo's oppressive aura and the move Grudge, he could easily lock down the opponent's skills.
If he couldn't lock them, then just use Disable and Encore.
The current Mewtwo could absolutely be called Giovanni and Masked Man's nemesis.
The only thing Axel was struggling with was deciding who to give the upgrade from gold to supreme trait.
Axel had already seen the power of an offensive supreme trait on Little Ho-oh. It enabled instant casting of same-type moves, allowing her to fight enemies 20 levels above with ease.
So Axel initially planned to give this upgrade opportunity to one of Gardevoir, Pheromosa, or Duraludon.
All three had offensive gold traits, and once upgraded would undergo a qualitative transformation.
Just as Axel was hesitating, the TV in the room suddenly rang out with a "Pika Pika" sound.
"Who's calling me at this time?", Axel blinked and confusedly pressed the answer button.
A familiar fiery red figure appeared on the TV screen, ["Axel, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner!"]
Axel instinctively stepped back half a step, warily eyeing Sasha on the screen.
"What are you up to?", When it came to people he had thrashed, Axel always assumed the worst.
Some people get sneak-attacked just for using this kind of tactic in games, he had to be even more careful in the Pokémon world.
Last time this girl almost used Charizard to roast him.
["Don't be so wary~"], Sasha pouted gently, putting her hands under her chin and swaying them slightly.
Her fiery red long dress swayed, perfectly outlining Sasha's explosive figure.
["I just want to treat you to a meal and then ask you to come to my Gym for a battle tomorrow."]
"A battle?", Axel grew even more cautious. Last time Sasha wanted to stop him from messing with Gyms, she even gave him three Emberpine Badges.
Would someone who can't take a loss really invite him to a battle?
Especially when she was dressed so beautifully.
Axel was genuinely worried that if he set foot in Sasha's Gym, she'd pull some Seduction move and trap him.
Even if not that, if he accidentally got taken advantage of by Sasha, that was absolutely unacceptable.
"Nope," Axel replied with a squinty-eyed smile and decisively had Rotom hang up the call.
———
"Ahhhh! I'm so mad!!!"
A furious roar came from Emberpine City Gym as Sasha punched the wall hard, then clutched her fist and cried in pain.
Thanks to her strong performances in previous battles, Sasha had secured a nomination for one of Aurient's Eight Major Gyms.
Today the League sent her a notice. Selection for the Eight Major Gyms wasn't just about the strength of the Trainer, but also about how the Gym cultivated Trainers in their city.
It reminded Sasha to invite the best young Trainer in Emberpine City.
Axel's figure appeared in her mind instantly.
But what she never expected was that the victim would be rejected by the perpetrator.
After a whole hour of psychological rebuilding, Sasha changed into an even more stunning dress and dialed Axel's number again.
"You little rascal~ Why did you hang up earlier? Have you thought about where to eat now?"
"If your girlfriend is coming too, I'll pay for your meal and eat at the table next to yours, okay?"
Axel blinked in confusion, he remembered Sasha wasn't this much of a simp before.
'This is definitely a trap...'
'Hang up!'
———
A few minutes later, Sasha called again.
Her chest heaved violently with her breathing, and in her pupils it looked like flames were burning.
"Bring Gardevoir tomorrow for a battle. Win or lose, I'll give you 100,000 yuan."
"If you don't come, don't even think about stepping into my Gym ever again!"
'Emmm... now that sounds right,' Axel squinted and smiled at Sasha, calmly took a screenshot for a gif.
["Get the money ready. Then the Gym can set the battle time."]
