Not long after, Platinum appeared in the living room wrapped in a silk pajama set prepared by the hotel.
She gently wiped her damp hair, her gaze falling onto the table full of food. Her big eyes were filled with confusion.
"Axel, you treat this like a midnight snack?"
"Hehe~", Seeing Platinum's confused expression, Gardevoir giggled nonstop.
She held back the trembling of her body, picked up an oyster, and stuffed it into Axel's mouth.
["My master loves eating this the most."]
Platinum blinked, then her gaze on Axel suddenly carried a hint of pity.
'Obviously liking such tonics, yet still looking so weak.'
'This body is really too frail.'
"Don't worry Axel, when the recent epidemic is over, I'll definitely open a research lab just for you, to fix your body's flaws."
Axel, his mouth stuffed with sea cucumber, trembled all over. His lips twitched, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Although he kind of hoped the young lady would keep this misunderstanding, 'But...Right now Gardevoir is still here, girl, can you not ruin my image, okay?'
Axel sneakily glanced at the puffed-up Gardevoir, then rolled up his sleeves and started eating.
'Laugh now, you won't be laughing in a bit!'
With the "Super Rookie" tag buff, not only had Axel's strength and stamina grown a lot, but his absorption of food was also far beyond normal humans.
As long as he had one hour of rest, he could absolutely take down Gardevoir and the Pheromosa whose power had been drained by an immature Z-Move.
Just a Gym-level Pokémon, what's so great about that.
———
An hour later, watching Gardevoir return to the room together with Axel, a certain Pokémon above the hotel was dumbfounded.
'Wait, what? This guy comes with his own girlfriend?'
At first, Mesprit had come to this time wanting to help Axel and that girl named Platinum form a bond.
But now the situation was way beyond its expectations.
As the god of emotions, Mesprit often brought people together, but it had its own bottom line.
Clearly, Axel and Gardevoir had much deeper feelings.
'And that is probably why he rejected that very beautiful girl, right?'
Protecting Sinnoh was indeed important, but it didn't want to create rifts between Axel and Gardevoir because of this.
Thinking this, Mesprit shook its head, planning to retreat for now and continue finding other ways to form bonds between Sinnoh and Axel.
Like maybe finding the other two lake gods, and having them all honor Axel as Sinnoh's trainer.
As legendary Pokémon born in Sinnoh, they still had quite an influence here.
Just as Mesprit was about to use the power of the Red Chain to leave and cross to another point in time, a roaring sound suddenly came from beneath it.
Mesprit instinctively looked down. Then saw a massive crimson fist push through the gap of the window, smashing straight at it.
"Em?"
Mesprit was stunned.
Normally, this power, although strong, clearly lacked control, and it hadn't even locked onto it, so dodging should have been easy.
But right now it was channeling the Red Chain and couldn't move at all.
BOOM!
The crimson fist slammed into Mesprit, almost bending its body into a bow shape.
The Red Chain in its hands snapped in two with a crack, losing its remaining effects completely.
It froze for a whole second before snapping back from the daze.
'The hope of saving Sinnoh, gone just like that?'
Its emotions nearly spiraled out of control. Its small body trembled, the gem on its forehead bursting with violent red light.
Almost without hesitation, it flew straight into the room where that Z-Move had come from.
Tonight, it had to demand an explanation from that Fighting Z trainer.
'Either save Sinnoh, or compensate me for the Red Chain.'
———
Inside the room, seeing Axel's shameless stunt of making Pheromosa use a Z-Move, Gardevoir's smile froze.
'Wait, doesn't a proper battle start after the opponent exhausts themselves?'
'This is way too dirty!'
In that instant, Gardevoir for the first time truly realized just what the trainers opposite Axel were facing.
"Gardevoir, are you throwing this one or not?"
Axel grinned at Gardevoir's shocked face and the Pheromosa drained by the Z-Move, suddenly feeling like a peasant turning over and singing songs of freedom.
Gardevoir stuck out her tongue at Axel, putting both hands up by her ears and making a silly face.
Just as Axel was calling to Gyarados, ready to teach Gardevoir a lesson, she suddenly moved in zero frames.
A ghostly glow flashed in her hand.
"Trainer, since you didn't play fair first, don't blame me now!"
Axel stared at the Confuse Ray she threw out, and the red glow at the corner of her lips, instantly stunned.
'Wait, who taught you that combo of Draining Kiss + Confuse Ray?'
Axel wanted to dodge, but Gardevoir's moves were too well-practiced.
Even shadow-form Rayquaza would struggle to dodge, how could he?
The next moment, Axel's mind went blank, falling into confusion.
Gardevoir grinned, stepping lightly toward him, planning to give him another good lesson tonight.
But just then, an angry voice came from the sky.
The smile on Gardevoir's lips instantly vanished. Her gaze shifted to Mesprit in the air.
Sensing the wrath in Mesprit's heart, her expression turned cold.
'A trainer came to save Sinnoh, and now even Sinnoh's legendary Pokémon are charging in?'
'Ridiculous!'
Gardevoir waved her right hand, and Glastrier's Poké Ball appeared in her palm.
The next moment, her figure was already right in front of Mesprit.
