Amid Aunt Delia's endlessly suggestive words, Axel finally walked out of the kitchen carrying the food.
'The Kanto ladies are really too amazing.'
After the meal, Axel let the Duraludon play downstairs with Pikachu.
He couldn't wait and took Gardevoir upstairs.
"Gardevoir, let's have a match today, I feel like my psychic power has made some progress."
Gardevoir seemed not to know what Axel was thinking, tilting her head in a daze.
["Master… before bed, do you want to wash JOJO?"]
"Hiss!", Axel's eyes lit up, and his tone turned serious.
"I saw the bathtub in the room is pretty good. How about I help you wash?"
["No… unless you promise to take me to ride the kiddie ride."]
"That's too embarrassing, I'll also end up bouncing with it."
["Not… doing it…"]
With a Teleport, Gardevoir appeared in the bathroom, her pale skin and small face blushing bright red.
Axel tried twisting the door knob and found it was already locked from inside.
He immediately became thoughtful and sat on the bed, starting to ponder where in Kanto there were kiddie rides.
Soon, the sound of trickling water stopped, and Gardevoir came out from the bathroom.
Under the fairy-type energy and faint water mist, Gardevoir's figure was fully revealed.
Her smooth, tender legs were exposed in the air, sparkling under the light.
["Master… tonight I increased the intensity."]
["My psychic power… will make you collapse completely…"]
"Then let's try!"
———
An hour later, Axel's mind relaxed, lying weakly on Gardevoir's thighs.
Indeed, Gardevoir had increased the intensity today, her psychic power no longer just defending, but launching some attacks.
Under Gardevoir's proactive offense, Axel, a complete novice in psychic power, could barely resist.
Axel sighed helplessly, suddenly feeling a little doubtful about life.
'Compared to Gardevoir, that trash woman Caitlin and the little loli are easier to deal with…'
Just as Axel was trying to recover and regain his dignity, the little loli's call came in.
Gardevoir's face turned red, hiding under the blanket.
["Axel, you should be in Kanto today?"]
On the phone screen, perhaps coincidentally, the little loli was wearing a white silk pajama, looking a bit frisky.
["Why aren't you speaking? Is it because you didn't miss me at all?"]
Axel put on a serious look and gently nodded.
["I heard the aunties over there are all especially pretty. You, this guy who likes seductive moms, did you forget me the moment you saw a beauty?"]
["Ah ah ah, you big bad guy, when you come back I'm going to bite you to death!"]
Hearing the little loli's wolf-like words, Axel couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to retort, he suddenly felt Gardevoir moving.
"Hiss!", For the next hour… Axel almost completely forgot what the little loli was saying, only knowing his brain was blank.
It wasn't until Gardevoir wiped the corner of her mouth that Axel heard clearly the little loli was asking him to bring her a gift.
"Okay okay okay, I'll definitely bring you one, don't worry," After hanging up the little loli's call, Axel gave Gardevoir a confident look.
He naturally pulled Gardevoir into his arms, holding her freshly washed, fragrant little foot with one hand.
'Phew~ after a day of important matters, I still haven't checked what tags Ash exploded with,' Axel opened the panel and saw two tags gleaming brightly in the tag backpack.
They were Bonded Thunder and Super True Rookie tags.
Both tags were golden the moment they exploded, saving a lot of upgrading time.
Very fitting for Ash's status.
As for the Perfect-grade tags on Pikachu and Ash, none had exploded.
Axel had already mentally prepared for that.
After grinding in the Dream Realm for so many days, Axel had more or less discovered some patterns.
The higher the level and rarity of the tag, the harder it was to drop, the same applied in the real world.
Without hesitation, Axel directly equipped the Super True Rookie tag.
The moment the tag was equipped, Axel felt a clear boost in his strength and defense.
Some parts of his body also transformed. Eight-pack abs appeared, and his face underwent subtle changes.
His originally handsome face became manga-hero-level, explosively handsome.
And one more thing…
Gardevoir suddenly felt something strange, staring at Axel with a frightened expression.
["Master…"]
"Ahem, I just became a real man, a bit of development is normal, right?"
The other golden tag was Bonded Thunder. This tag, Axel didn't equip for now.
In his impression, there didn't seem to be any particularly impressive electric-type Pokémon.
The only powerful one, the black dragon, was worthless in front of the twin-tailed white dragon.
He could only leave it to fate to see which electric-type Pokémon he caught next.
After a major boost in physical stats, Axel didn't choose to seek revenge against Gardevoir. He had more important matters tonight.
These past days on the S.S. Anne, he had done nothing but eat and sleep.
Besides interacting with his Pokémon and cooking, almost all his time had been spent in the Dream Realm.
During this time, he successfully leveled the [Breeder] tag to red-grade with all the grinding.
It increased Pokémon nurturing speed by 40%, greatly boosting the team-building process.
More importantly, he now had a team with an average level of 65 in the Dream Realm.
He could finally try again to "crash" into Ho-oh.
Entering the Dream Realm, Axel bought a bunch of Full Restores at the friend merchant store, then stocked up on Poké Balls and went straight to Ho-oh's habitat.
Following the usual progression, Axel should have first cleared the Fireworks Gym, then gone to Team Rocket's base to get the key to Fire Island.
But the Dream Realm didn't have such complicated game rules. Axel had long since chased Ho-oh to its habitat.
He threw out a red-and-white ball, and a Pokémon filled with explosive feathers and electricity instantly appeared in the air.
"Zapdos, set off to Fire Island!"
