After sensing the intense unwillingness in Scyther's heart, Kirlia's eyes flashed with a trace of recollection.
If she remembered correctly, this Scyther would have some fortune in the future and would eventually grow into a gym leader-level Pokémon.
That wasn't the main point. More importantly, this guy was also known in the Emberpine City Pokémon world as someone who valued loyalty, and later became the recognized leader of many surrounding groups.
Even elite Pokémon from outside had to show some respect to this local boss.
Thinking of the current situation, Kirlia immediately recalled this matter.
So at the critical moment, Kirlia chose to remind Axel.
Although this guy's strength wasn't enough to join the master's team, he was still a pretty good friend.
"Ahem~", Axel coughed dryly, waved to stop Pheromosa's movement, and approached Scyther.
Scyther immediately waved its scythes and looked at Axel with vigilance.
"No need to be nervous. If you wanted medicine for your companion, just say it earlier. You think I wouldn't give it to you?"
"You had to get beaten to the ground before telling Kirlia? What a waste of time."
A trace of confusion flashed through Scyther's sharp eyes.
'When did I tell this to Kirlia?'
'Did you even give me a chance to speak?'
But before he could think more, Axel had already sprayed healing mist on his body.
Filled with anger and with many words to say, Scyther immediately shut his mouth.
'Don't bite the hand that feeds you...'
After doing this, Axel rummaged through his pocket again and took out a bottle of antidote.
This medicine was bought along with the Toxic Orb, in case Kirlia accidentally got poisoned.
Didn't expect the little guy didn't use it, but instead it went to this wild Pokémon.
Scyther's eyes lit up at once and quickly jumped up from the ground.
Taking the antidote from Axel's hand, he gave a deep bow.
Then he flapped his wings and flew deep into the sea of flowers.
Watching Scyther fly away, Axel turned his gaze to Pheromosa.
After the battle just now, he also realized the problem with Pheromosa.
Her skills were mostly Bug-type, Fighting-type, and Normal-type.
The pool was too shallow, and it was difficult to be effective when facing countering attributes.
"Pheromosa, prepare a bit. When we get back, I'll give you the TM for Ice Wind. Try to learn it then."
Pheromosa: "Pheromosa?"
'I was sent to take care of my master's life. Why am I learning skills now?'
'That clause wasn't in the contract, was it?'
Kirlia: "!!!"
'No way, that's my skewers!'
'Teaching skills and stuff, this queen will do it!'
———
In the afternoon, Axel went shopping with the little loli for a while and bought her a blue little dress, then returned home again.
In the previous battle, Pheromosa gained new insights and successfully leveled up to ten.
Axel planned to let her learn Ice Wind as soon as possible to expand her skill pool.
But just as he turned on the computer, he saw Kirlia pulling Pheromosa into the bathroom.
Right after... sounds of "phero! mosa! mosa!" came from the bathroom.
Axel couldn't help but feel puzzled, 'Is Kirlia bullying Pheromosa?'
Bathroom... high-level Pokémon and low-level Pokémon.
Hard not to overthink.
But helplessly, Kirlia had already locked the door with psychic power. Axel couldn't get in even if he wanted to. He could only wait for the two little ones to come out on their own.
He simply lay on the bed and entered the dream world.
Kirlia and Pheromosa immediately appeared beside Axel.
Unfortunately, like all creatures in this world, they were just programs without their own consciousness.
Otherwise, he could've teased little Kirlia to relieve some of the fatigue from the journey.
It's worth mentioning that their levels were not bound by reality, which meant Axel could soon clear a region.
Besides these two Pokémon, Axel also had a Gyarados with him, which he had obtained last night in Cerulean Cave outside Cerulean City.
Just as Axel planned to head to Vermilion City to defeat the gym leader Lt. Surge, he suddenly felt a warm sensation coming from his body.
Axel's heart stirred, and he instinctively looked up at the sky.
The originally calm sea of clouds was suddenly stirred like by an invisible giant hand, surging and boiling.
Strands of golden radiance, like rays of dawn's light, pierced through the deepest part of the clouds, dispelling the surrounding gloom.
In an instant, a loud, high-pitched cry, like from ancient times, rang out, shaking heaven and earth with resonance.
Immediately after, a pair of massive wings shining with dazzling golden light slowly unfolded. Each feather seemed to be carved from pure flame, flowing with mysterious and majestic patterns.
Once he clearly saw the appearance of the Pokémon, Axel's heart thumped violently.
It was the Ho-oh, jokingly referred to as the shiny mega Fearow.
This Pokémon was a legendary beast from the first generation of Pokémon, and also one of the street legends of the Kanto region.
Unlike Mew, Ho-oh's image was closer to that of a god.
And its status was way higher.
It created the three legendary beasts, the secondary gods.
In the movie 'I Choose You', it revived Ash.
All paths indicated that Ho-oh held the authority over life.
In reality, there's no way to catch Ho-oh, but in the dream world, Axel didn't want to miss this chance.
As for being killed by Ho-oh, Axel wasn't worried at all.
It's a dream, can't he just revive?
"Kirlia, use Teleport to chase it!"
———
7 PM.
Axel opened his eyes in surprise.
After an afternoon of effort, with countless potions and Poké Balls, although he still hadn't caught Ho-oh, he successfully found its nest.
When his strength rose and with the help of potions, he should be able to catch this god of Kanto with ease.
By then, after he cleared the Kanto region and brought out Ho-oh—
Their household would have three legendary Pokémons.
At that moment, the bathroom door was opened by Kirlia.
Originally cold to everyone except Axel, Pheromosa was now hugging Kirlia like a close sister.
Seeing that Pheromosa had now acquired the skill Ice Wind, Axel understood the key point.
Turns out the little one became a teacher.
And her teaching speed was terrifying. In just one afternoon, she taught Pheromosa this powerful AoE move.
"Well done, saved a lot of money. Later let's return the TM for Ice Wind and go relax a bit, how about that?"
After several days of intense training, Axel felt a little guilty for the two little ones.
Normally, newly born Pokémon from breeding houses would drink milk for a month to prepare for skill learning.
But his two little ones were already fighting gym-leader-level Dragon-type Pokémon...
Now that they finally had time, he had to take them out to relax.
"Ralts~"
Kirlia immediately cheered excitedly and floated into Axel's arms.
'Yes, yes!'
