In an extremely unbalanced mood, Gary almost stepped the gas pedal into the fuel tank along the way.
In just over two hours, the two had already arrived at Azure City.
After entering the city area, Axel, who was dozing, opened his eyes and curiously sized up this city.
In the Aurient region, this place is known as the capital of Water-type Pokémon in the north, and at the same time, it also has the most developed tourism industry among cities.
Compared to Emberpine City, the luxury cars and beauties here are not just a notch higher.
Tour buses could be seen everywhere, along with many Pokémon like Milotic and Totodile, which are very rarely seen in Emberpine City.
The car did not stop, quickly crossing the city area, appearing on the beach by the harbor.
Looking around, Axel saw high-spirited beauties everywhere wearing bikinis and accompanied by cute Pokémon.
Just as the vehicle stopped, a dozen or so scantily clad beautiful girls ran down from a big ship docked at the port.
They held flower garlands in their hands, quickly surrounding Gary's red sports car.
"Young Master Gary is so handsome!"
"Young Master Gary has finally returned!"
"Young Master Gary, please accept my flower garland!"
Seeing Gary surrounded, Axel twitched the corner of his mouth, decisively wrapped his whole body in psychic power, and quickly squeezed his way out.
"Phew~"
Indeed, being Gary was also very painful, having to deal with so many women every day.
"Gardevoir, Pheromosa, Duraludon, everyone come out."
Rarely seeing the ocean once, and with still an hour before the S.S. Anne's departure, Axel planned to take Gardevoir and the others out for a good round of fun.
Accompanied by the light from Pokéballs, Gardevoir and Pheromosa appeared on Axel's left and right.
Little Duraludon looked at the nearby sea water with a dazed expression and couldn't help but step back half a step.
"Uh... I forgot you are afraid of water. If you don't like staying outside, you can go back."
Since drinking milk iron rust last time, Little Duraludon had developed some resistance to liquids.
"ROAR!"
Little Duraludon skillfully jumped up, took a rock biscuit out from the backpack behind Axel, and returned to the Pokéball contentedly.
Axel then began to look around.
Actually, according to his original idea, he didn't want to travel to Kanto by the S.S. Anne.
After all, this ship was somewhat cursed, as almost every time it appeared in the storyline, it was accompanied by some danger.
But thinking about how Gary was also on this ship, Axel put his suspended heart back down.
After all, Gary was the grandson of Professor Oak, and messing with him would be tantamount to declaring war on the Kanto League.
Team Rocket shouldn't have swelled up to that extent yet.
After carefully surveying the surroundings, Axel confirmed there were no tourists bearing Team Rocket insignias nearby, and he finally felt relieved.
"Gardevoir, Pheromosa, how about going to play in the water for a while?"
"Phero~?"
Pheromosa suddenly recalled the scene of her and Ralts soaking in a hot spring with Axel, and her tender face involuntarily flushed with a blush.
'Is Master planning to increase intimacy with me and Gardevoir again?'
"Gardevoir!", Gardevoir responded with a sound, but her tone was noticeably heavy.
The moment she appeared outside the Pokéball, she suddenly felt a very familiar feeling.
It was as if... there was an old acquaintance here.
Gardevoir let Axel pull her by the arm as they walked on the beach, lowering her head into thought.
'Aurient's Azure City... Psychic-type... S.S. Anne...'
Suddenly, a light blue figure flashed through Gardevoir's mind.
If she remembered correctly, today seemed to be the day that fellow escaped from Team Rocket and fled to the Unova region.
Thinking of this, Gardevoir turned and looked at Axel, and her ethereal voice sounded in his mind.
["Master..."]
"What's wrong?"
["If someone asks you 'Who I really am'... how would you... answer?"]
'Who am I?'
Hearing Gardevoir's words, Axel was suddenly stunned.
'Why does this question feel so familiar?'
If Axel remembered correctly, this seemed to be the line of the first-generation strongest divine beast, Mewtwo, in the Pokémon worldview.
'But...'
'This is a fusion world, according to logic Mewtwo should still be in Kanto, right?'
"Why are you asking this?"
Axel looked at Gardevoir. As long as Gardevoir said there was a Mewtwo here, he would turn around and leave.
Not because he was cowardly, but based on the principle of happy people backing off.
If Axel was just a poor boy who had just crossed over without support, seeing a divine beast he would definitely charge ahead and gamble.
But now he had Gardevoir, Pheromosa, Duraludon, a little loli, and even capturing Ho-Oh was within sight, with fathers who were all legendary Pokémon trainers.
There was completely no need to clash with a Mewtwo in a crazy state now.
But Gardevoir didn't show much emotion, just tilted her head and looked at Axel.
["Just suddenly feeling a bit curious... what exactly are we Pokémon..."]
["Are we... the ones who redeem this world?"]
Axel slightly breathed a sigh of relief and slapped Gardevoir's butt.
"You scared me to death. Don't ask this kind of question for no reason."
"In my view, you are, of course, the ones who redeem this world."
"I once... uh, I once read in a book describing other worlds."
"There were no Pokémon there, only people who imagined the existence of Pokémon and fanatically worshiped them."
"Their lives and studies were very monotonous, and even on construction sites there were no Pokémon like Machamp and Timburr to help with labor."
"When they went out to play, there weren't cute Gardevoir and Pheromosa accompanying them."
"Although life there was peaceful, it was extremely dull."
Speaking of this, Axel pulled Gardevoir and Pheromosa in front of him and seriously asked, "Compared to that kind of world, don't you think you are here to redeem us?"
["So... that's it?"]
["Our existence... is redemption?"]
An ethereal voice appeared in Axel's mind, and Axel subconsciously nodded and hugged Gardevoir and Pheromosa in front of him.
But right after, he started to feel that something was off.
Because although the voice was also a feminine telepathic voice, compared to Gardevoir's, this one was obviously more dignified.
At that moment, Axel suddenly felt a sharp gaze shoot directly at him.
He subconsciously turned around to look at the owner of that gaze.
The next moment, Axel's consciousness seemed to cross through space and instantly appeared in front of that being.
It was entirely snowy blue, resembling a humanoid feline creature, none other than the Pokémon Axel least wanted to see right now.
Mewtwo!
