When Gardevoir returned to the restaurant, Axel had already finished eating.
Little Blue had also just achieved three consecutive battle victories, winning the free residence rights to the mountain villa.
After giving Axel a "Wasn't I awesome?" look from the arena, Little Blue walked down proudly with her head held high and chest puffed out.
The little loli was also about to hang up the phone.
["Not chatting anymore, my mom told me to deliver clothes to her. Don't forget to bring me a gift when you come back!"]
Axel nodded, reluctantly moving his eyes away.
"Remember to put on your own clothes before going out, or your mom will think you're doing weird stuff on the internet."
["Huh?"], The little loli froze for a moment, then quickly reacted and hurriedly covered the smooth little bunnies with a small blanket next to her.
["Axel, you bastard!"]
"How am I a bastard? It's not like I took them off?"
["Ugh!"], The little loli gritted her teeth hard and, after hanging up the phone, viciously threw a pillow at a photo of Axel.
She hadn't dared tease Axel for days now.
Afraid that Axel might lose control for a moment and do strange things to Gardevoir or someone else.
But she never expected that a big wave would sneak in just like that...
'So maddening!'
The little loli made up her mind, tonight she had to video call with Axel until dawn...
'I will give him no chance!'
At that moment, Little Blue also sat beside Axel and proudly nudged his arm.
"How was it, did you see the battle just now? Wasn't I awesome?"
"Mm, very white. At least 87% of it was white, the remaining 13% I didn't get to see."
Little Blue: "???"
———
The next morning, Axel hung up the little loli's call with two dark circles under his eyes.
Yesterday he didn't delay, he and Little Blue went back to the villa early.
He had originally wanted to ask Gardevoir where the two Team Rocket members went, then train his mental strength with her for a bit.
But just as he parted ways with Little Blue, the little loli's call came in.
Even worse, Gardevoir wouldn't be outdone and used her eloquence on him again.
If it weren't for the [Super True Rookie] tag, Axel even doubted whether he could've survived the night.
'Thank you, Aunt Delia, for giving birth to such a good son!'
Axel rubbed his face and hugged the equally exhausted Gardevoir, giving the little fellow a hard slap on the butt.
"Wake up now, it's already breakfast time."
["Mmm... I'm full... don't bother me."]
Hearing Gardevoir's words, Axel helplessly closed his eyes.
No wonder he felt drained, she was already full.
"Then I'll go cook for Pheromosa and the others. Are you sleeping in the Poké Ball or the room?"
Gardevoir squeezed her head hard and skillfully entered the Poké Ball.
The moment she entered, the laziness on her face vanished, replaced with a sly grin.
'Stupid master, I'm not going with you to face Mewtwo!'
'I gave so much last night, and you still pulled me out to lecture me over those two Team Rocket guys?'
———
Right before leaving the room, Axel closed his eyes and meditated for a moment.
His mental strength had already reached a high level. Although meditating wouldn't greatly boost it, it could still significantly enhance his focus.
When he opened his eyes again, the dark circles had faded slightly.
He no longer looked like someone who had stayed up all night.
Axel smacked his lips. If he'd had this ability in his past life, maybe he wouldn't have only had a single shiny Ponyta in Arceus.
"You're awake!"
Just as Axel walked out the door, he heard Little Blue's soft, sticky voice.
Looking in the direction of the voice, she seemed to have just taken a bath, her bright blue hair fluffy and hanging over her shoulders.
A black spaghetti-strap nightdress barely covered her thighs, her curvy and perky figure perfectly on display.
Her smooth, bare feet stood on the floor, looking flawless.
If Axel wasn't mistaken, she even accidentally revealed two little grapes.
Unfortunately, Axel was in super sage mode, after just a glance, he had no interest.
"Awake. Did you make breakfast?"
"No~", Little Blue's voice immediately deflated.
"Then go cook. I'm going to rest a bit," Axel leaned on the sofa and casually turned on a news broadcast from Kanto's Mt. Moon, watching it halfheartedly.
Little Blue clenched her fist tightly and gave Axel's back a hard swing.
'Men really are all pigs!'
She had deliberately gotten up early to dress up, just to make Axel submit to her beauty and make a special dish for her Wartortle.
That way, Little Blue was confident she could evolve Wartortle perfectly in one day and get a piece of the pie when Team Rocket caused trouble at night.
But she never imagined, she spent three hours dressing up, and Axel only gave it a glance.
"Axel~", Little Blue took a few steps and leaned on the sofa behind Axel, her hands gently pinching his shoulders, giving him a light massage.
"I really don't know how to cook. Can you do it later~?"
"At worst, I'll let Wartortle spar with your Pokémon again."
'If I lose this time, I'll be your maid for a few more days, okay?
"As long as you don't let Ho-Oh and Gardevoir join, I'll even wear a maid outfit!"
Axel placed Little Blue's hands on his temples, shamelessly enjoying the personal maid service.
If this were his first time meeting Little Blue, he might've softened a bit.
But having read the original story, he understood Little Blue's personality well.
This girl had a tough early life and developed a personality that refuses to suffer any losses.
As the saying goes, no hawk without a rabbit in sight.
Her acting weak now was definitely to achieve some goal.
And thinking about Wartortle's current state, it was probably about to evolve into Blastoise.
"Give me a full-body massage first. I'll cook after that," Axel was happy to help this girl who came to Kanto to get stronger, but it wouldn't hurt to collect some interest.
If he didn't collect now, he wouldn't be able to once Wartortle evolved into Blastoise.
"Okay!", Little Blue agreed excitedly.
It's just a massage. Anyway, Axel's a big eunuch (in Little Blue's mind), and she wouldn't lose anything.
"I'm coming~ Lie down obediently, and no peeking."
Axel did as told and lay face down on the sofa.
Little Blue smirked cunningly, covered Axel's eyes with a red cloth, lifted her nightdress slightly, and pulled out a Poké Ball tied to her waist.
With a flash of white light, Ditto immediately transformed into Little Blue's shape and sat on Axel's back to give him a massage.
Little Blue leaned her head behind Ditto to avoid Axel sensing anything.
"Master, does it feel good?"
"Just okay. Missing a pillow," Axel took out Pheromosa's Poké Ball and released it.
Then, with a casual wave, he grabbed a thigh and placed it under his head.
"That's much better. But why does Pheromosa feel fatter?"
The real Pheromosa nearby blinked, looked at the two Little Blues on Axel's body and under his head.
Tilted head: ⊙(・◇・)?
'Since when did I get called Pheromosa too?'
