Seeing that all the Pokémon in the room looked unconcerned, with only Gengar as anxious as himself, Mesprit rubbed the back of his head, his little mouth chattering on as he continued to speak, wanting Axel to understand just how dangerous the crisis really was.
["The last time the Twin Dragons of Time and Space appeared, they almost sank Sinnoh. Luckily, a hero appeared within Team Galactic, creating the Red Chain to control them."]
["But now, that Red Chain has completely collapsed."]
["And I know that Team Galactic's intentions are no longer pure. If they were to recreate the Red Chain, the situation might become even more dangerous."]
["If they control the Twin Dragons of Time and Space and reach the Spear Pillar of Mount Coronet, the consequences would be unimaginable!"]
Mesprit paused for a moment, then spoke with heavier tone, ["What's even worse... is that in this world, only Team Galactic has the technology to make the Red Chain..."]
Looking at Mesprit's anxious expression, Axel blinked and spoke softly, ["Isn't there a possibility... that I'm the important partner who helped Team Galactic create the Red Chain?"]
Mesprit froze.
'What was going on?'
Axel chuckled, then recounted everything that had happened with Team Galactic yesterday.
After listening, Mesprit was completely stunned.
These past few days, he had been busy at Lake Valor holding big meetings and small meetings, communicating with the other two Lake Guardians, contacting Darkrai.
During this process, he also had to keep hiding from Team Galactic so they wouldn't catch him and truly make a Red Chain.
And the result? Axel had quietly stolen Team Galactic's secret weapon?
Mesprit's gaze toward Axel immediately changed.
'This guy is much smarter than Uxie of Lake Acuity.'
Without hesitation, Mesprit gave up his commander's position to Axel, floated forward a few meters, and stopped right in front of him.
["Then how should we cooperate with you?"]
Axel blinked. He didn't know why this little guy suddenly entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility.
But this land was originally the one Cynthia protected, and Axel already had a plan. So he laid it all out...
When Mesprit heard that Axel planned to use the Galactic Bomb to blow up the Three Lakes and seize control of the Lake Guardians from Team Galactic, his eyes instantly lit up.
'As expected of you, Axel. So this is what humans call preparing for a rainy day, huh?'
As long as the three of them were captured, Team Galactic would naturally make the Red Chain.
When the time came, if they all turned against them and snatched the Red Chain, they could prevent this disaster from falling upon the Sinnoh Continent.
["Then I'll return to Lake Valor right now, get all the Pokémon in the three great lakes to leave the central areas, and wait for you to set off the explosion tomorrow!"]
After speaking, Mesprit's figure streaked across the sky, quickly disappearing from Sunyshore City.
———
When he returned to Lake Valor, Mesprit paused for a moment, suddenly feeling like he had forgotten something.
["That's strange... what exactly did I forget?"]
["Ah, whatever. Saving Sinnoh is more important!"]
———
After Mesprit left, Gardevoir and Pheromosa exchanged a glance, both feeling something wasn't right.
Pheromosa had just used a Z-Move, and Gardevoir had even fought a battle with a legendary Pokémon.
If they stayed here now, wouldn't Axel just grind them into the ground?
The two Pokémon locked eyes, then instantly turned into streaks of light, vanishing into their Poké Balls!
Seeing them run off, Axel froze for a moment.
'Sea cucumbers, eaten up huh!'
But very quickly, he just laughed and shook his head.
Anyway, a new dungeon had already opened. Before long, he would be able to level up his Super Rookie to the maximum, and there would be plenty of chances in the future.
"Since things are already settled, everyone return to your Poké Balls and rest."
Axel pressed each Poké Ball one by one, retrieving all his Pokémon, then finally turned his gaze toward Platinum.
"Miss, why haven't you gone in yet?"
Platinum bit her lip, "The room next door was torn apart by Gardevoir and Mesprit..."
"I... can I squeeze in with you?"
Axel: "???"
"No!"
"Oh come on, it's fine. I knew you'd refuse anyway, it's not like I'd say it out loud."
Axel shook his head hard, "Still no!"
Seeing Axel's firm refusal, the young lady's temper flared.
"But you just took fifty million more from me today!"
Axel sighed, just about to say he'd go out and get another room, when Platinum's quick eyes and hands switched off the lights in the room.
"Anyway, it's not like you're that kind of person. What, worried something might happen?"
"Hurry up and sleep. Tomorrow you still have two Gym battles!"
Seeing that she had already lain down on the bed, Axel wanted to say that actually... he was that kind of person.
But... if he said that, wouldn't this young lady cling to him endlessly?
Thinking of that possibility, Axel sighed helplessly.
What else could he do?
Go to sleep!
———
At the same time as Axel turned off the lights, a faint pink energy burst out in the sky.
This energy was extremely strange, belonging to no particular type, yet carrying power of a very high level.
It seemed... to be radiating the power of emotion.
Some couples who had just quarreled picked up the phones beside them, almost simultaneously dialing their partners' numbers, pouring out heartfelt apologies.
Fishermen looked up at the sky, suddenly feeling guilty for not going home all night, and hurriedly packed their things to head back.
Brothers who had argued over family property for decades reconciled, hugging each other and weeping bitterly...
As the center of this energy's outbreak, people inside the Sunyshore Grand Hotel were most heavily affected.
Maintenance staff from the engineering department looked at the top floor, asking the duty lobby manager whether to go up and repair it, or perhaps move the young lady to another room.
But the career-driven lobby manager shook his head, his gaze falling toward his home.
"You guys decide for yourselves. My son rarely gets a day off, I don't want to fight for my career today, I want to stay home and watch him..."
Under the ripple of this energy, the entire Sunyshore City seemed to turn into an ocean of emotion, with all true feelings being revealed at this moment.
On the hotel's top floor, Platinum tossed and turned, feeling the heat radiating from Axel's body beside her.
Sure enough... could she really not endure this man leaving tomorrow?
The young lady took a deep breath, feeling that if she didn't do something today, she might regret it for life.
She quietly lifted herself up, turning her face toward Axel.
"Sorry about this, Champion Cynthia!"
