Just as Leon and the others were setting out, Axel on this side was also busy to the point of desperation.
He never expected that Jenny actually pulled him into the family group chat!
Looking at the thousand-person group completely filled up, Axel felt a wave of panic.
Question: What happens when a man enters a group chat with 999 women?
Normal people definitely can't answer that, but Axel can.
Because... he was currently experiencing that terrifying thing.
[Jenny (Alola Region Representative): Mr. Axel, when are you coming to our Alola to experience the island atmosphere? I'll wear a swimsuit just for you!]
'Shouldn't questions like that be asked in private chat?'
[Jenny (Kanto Region Representative): I heard Mr. Axel joined our gym leaders' group here. I wonder if you've been bad-mouthing me with them in the group chat? Smile.jpg.]
Axel swore to the heavens, he really didn't know that the leader of those cricket-playing gym leaders in Kanto was Jenny...
Even more outrageous was Jenny's @mention.
[Mr. Axel, recently the Star Team in our region has gone completely insane... In just this half month, students from Orange Academy have basically been calling the police every day. According to our investigation, those Star Team students seem to have learned their battle style from you. Could you please stop showing off, okay?]
Axel: "..."
He just played in the Junior Cup, how did it end up influencing the whole Paldea Region?
[Axel: (dog head save-my-life.jpg) Ahem, actually, Star Team kids are all good kids. You can focus on observing them.]
After seeing Axel reply, even more Jenny ladies joined the chat.
Some invited Axel to participate in police drills, others wanted to introduce their older sisters, younger sisters, or aunts to him.
Axel was filled with anxiety.
If not for his strong will, he might have already changed his chat ID to "AAA Axel, available nationwide for flight".
Fortunately, Jenny appeared just in time and used a mass mute to end the chaos in the group.
[Group Leader Jenny has enabled group-wide mute and appointed Axel as Administrator]
[@Mr. Axel, actually my sister and aunt and the others are all very nice, just trying to relieve some work stress. If you're harassed in the future, just mute them yourself.]
Once Jenny lifted the mute, the group had already quieted down quite a bit.
Axel let out a long breath.
At that moment, an image appeared in the group chat, once again breaking the silence.
Many Jenny ladies were handsomely riding motorcycles, accompanied by galloping Arcanines.
[Jenny: Sisters, we're about to meet our idol, cheer us on!]
Only then did Axel realize that it was already getting dark.
Jenny ladies from cities near Central Ninox were traveling through the night, gathering in the western mountain region of Central Ninox.
[Axel: Thank you Miss Jenny and the other Jenny ladies. Tomorrow I'll prepare breakfast and bring it to you all.]
[Jenny: No trouble at all, just arrange a blind date for my sister when the time comes...]
[Administrator Axel muted "Jenny" for five minutes!]
Putting down his phone, Axel muttered to himself, "By the way, why do all these Jenny ladies like arranging blind dates for their older sisters, younger sisters, and aunts?"
Gardevoir speechlessly twitched her mouth.
["Is it possible... that the sisters and aunts they talk about are themselves?"]
Axel's eyes lit up and he instantly understood everything.
'As expected of you, Gardevoir, your insight into people's hearts is still the best...'

[Johto Region]
The masked man stood by the Lake of Rage, quietly gazing at the sky.
He was waiting, waiting to verify whether Karen's intelligence was accurate.
According to what Karen said, Axel had recently provided some assistance to the Jenny family, so they were going to honor him, appointing him as an honorary advisor.
And to ensure the event went off without a hitch, they had apparently invited the Dragon-type Gym Leader of the Galar Region, Raihan.
In the eyes of the masked man, this was actually a good thing.
As long as Raihan came, that would mean no other champion-level figures would be present this time.
After waiting a while, a plane flew overhead with dragon-shaped and Galar region logos imprinted on it.
"So it's Raihan?", From under the mask came Masked Man's cold, chilling voice.
"I really want to see whether you, the man known as the strongest beneath the champion, can block my path!"
The masked man's large black cloak crackled with a sharp noise, and a pair of icy wings appeared behind him.
The ice wings fluttered like living creatures, flapping several times, flying toward the Aurient Wilds.
———
In the sky, Leon was idly swirling the milk in his glass.
While watching TV, he looked over at Raihan with some doubt, "Clearly Charizard and Flygon are faster, so why are we taking a plane?"
Raihan grinned widely, "The kid who might help us unlock Dynamax in other regions could be in danger. I'm worried that if you show your face, the other side might chicken out."
"What?", Leon's eyes instantly turned sharp.
As a champion, his obsession was helping the younger generation grow stronger. Even if it was a junior he'd never met before, he would always do his best to provide help.
And now someone actually wanted to make a move against Axel?
"You thought it through well. Once things wrap up, I'll wait for that villain to make their move."
"If someone wants to go after the person who helped me, Raihan, they'll have to see how terrifying my dragons are!"
Raihan covered his eyes, "Stop acting like Lance. Your Charizard really isn't a dragon..."
"If my Charizard isn't a dragon, then are your Flygon and Turtonator dragons or what?"
Raihan nodded seriously, "They actually are..."
———
Early the next morning, under clear skies and bright sunshine.
Axel stretched lazily, feeling in an excellent mood.
It was such a bright sunny day, and he also had Leon and Raihan on his side.
If Masked Man really came, he might end up crying on the way back, huh?
"No matter what, let's make the breakfast I promised Miss Jenny first."
Axel let Pheromosa and Gardevoir keep sleeping and turned to head into the kitchen.
Last night, he had already asked the housekeeper to buy ingredients, enough to prepare a rich breakfast for dozens of Jenny ladies.
With the help of his raising-specialized team, more than an hour later, Axel had finished preparing breakfast.
After letting his Pokémon eat, Axel returned most of them to their Poké Balls.
Only leaving behind Gyarados, Gardevoir, and Pheromosa.
After checking out of the room, Axel hung all the prepared food onto Gyarados.
Set off, West Mountain of Central Ninox City, deliver breakfast to the Jenny ladies.
