Pokémon: Gardevoir Harem with Tag System

These past two days of interaction were already quite frequent, and under Caitlin's brainwashing, Cynthia had a very good impression of Axel and Gardevoir.

Moreover, wanting to eliminate the bad impression Caitlin gave Gardevoir, Cynthia was even more eager to get along better with Gardevoir.

The two of them chatted like sisters in the corner, occasionally glancing at Axel and letting out a soft laugh.

Gyarados, on the other hand, endured the harshest training ever.

First came Ho-Oh's bombardment, then Garchomp's fierce offensive.

It was clear that Cynthia had completely treated Gyarados as one of her own Pokémon to train.

When Garchomp and Ho-Oh got tired, she would even send out Lucario to supervise training.

Gyarados's mind was in a constant state of confusion.

He only said he liked strong offense, so how did the intensity get this high?

One legendary, two champion-level Pokémon, and they all came to bully a small, unremarkable little Gyarados like me?

'Even Elite Four's Gyarados can't survive your kind of torment.'

But every time he wanted to give up, a heartless sneer from Dragonair and the relentless psychological manipulation from Duraludon would follow right beside him.

Gyarados suddenly felt like he was being roasted over a fire...

He couldn't even bring himself to say he wanted to quit.

Luckily, Gyarados's stamina was quite decent, and he managed to persist until class ended at 10 p.m.

The moment Axel said the words "It's over," Gyarados instantly let out a sigh of relief and collapsed limply to the ground.

But it was evident that Gyarados had already made very significant progress.

Although his level hadn't increased, his battle awareness seemed etched into his very bones.

The scales on his body were also glossier, giving off a rather menacing appearance.

"Axel," Cynthia held Gardevoir's arm and walked up to Axel, her eyes wandering, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Well... I just promised to go get some food with Gardevoir, how about we head to Petalglen?"

One could hear that Cynthia's voice was a bit uneasy, and a little uncertain.

Axel reached out, wanting to pat Cynthia's head, but retracted his hand before he touched her.

The reason? He had never been in a relationship... and didn't know how to interact with Cynthia at this moment.

["Idiot..."]

Gardevoir's eyes flashed red, and a strong psychic power appeared, forcefully placing Axel's hand on Cynthia's head and giving it a good rub.

"Sure, but be back before midnight."

"Okay," Cynthia immediately smiled, instinctively stepping aside to make room for Gardevoir and clinging to Axel's other arm.

"Gyarados!"

"ROAR!", Gyarados sprang up from the ground like a reflex, eyes shining as he looked at Cynthia.

"Haha, why are you so nervous? Just take us on a quick trip to Petalglen."

"Wait," Axel stopped Cynthia, "Put on my jacket before we go."

"Why? Didn't you just look earlier?"

Axel replied confidently, "That was for looking. Now it's so only I can look."

"Alright~"

"ROAR!"

Seeing Cynthia snap out of trainer mode, Gyarados let out an excited roar.

'Finally off duty.'

On the way, Cynthia suddenly nudged Axel's arm.

"Axel..."

"Hmm?"

"You have to be back before midnight because Eva asked you to come back early, right?"

Axel: "???"

Gardevoir immediately looked away seriously, pretending it had nothing to do with her.

Cynthia blinked, then decisively chose to protect her teammate, "Ahem... what if I said it was little Cait who told me, would you believe it?"

'Like hell I would!'

With the psychic bond between them, Axel knew Caitlin's personality very well.

Although she looked a little crazy, she was actually a kind-hearted girl.

Though she liked playing around with pointless strategies, she shouldn't be the type to gossip behind someone's back.

Seeing Axel unconvinced, Cynthia decisively changed the topic.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

"Heh, it's cloudy tonight."

As soon as Axel said that, Gardevoir waved her hand gently, and a brilliant moonlight appeared in the sky.

"Liar... you're a liar!"

Axel: "..."

'Alright, fine, so now you're united against me, huh?'

———

At the same time, a large flock of Murkrow flew over the sky of Petalglen, landing steadily on the ancient city wall.

At the front of the group, a woman leapt off from the lead Honchkrow's back.

She had long wavy aqua-blue hair, a short, tight top that revealed a smooth midriff.

Below her capris, her bare feet were adorned with high heels, highlighting her figure to near perfection.

After landing, Karen retrieved her Honchkrow into its Pokéball.

She pulled out a Rotom Phone and dialed a complicated number:

"Boss, I've arrived at Petalglen in Aurient. By the way, is there really a Glastrier here?"

"This place looks totally like a tourist spot, nothing like some mythical secret realm."

"How about I go see Sham first, and if I get the chance, maybe rescue him..."

["No need,"] A hoarse voice came through the Rotom, and a massive humanoid projection appeared.

That projection was enormous, nearly twice the height of a normal person, and wore a ghostly white mask.

["Going now would only alert the enemy. Once we complete the plan, you'll see that all the sacrifices were worth it."]

["Whether they're captured or already dead, they will all be saved at that moment."]

"Well... alright."

Seeing that Karen was being obedient, the masked man let out a satisfied chuckle.

["Don't waste time. Go check near the Dragon God statue to see if there are any clues."]

["Based on my deduction, Glastrier's ruins should be somewhere connected to Dragon God."]

"I understand, Boss."

After hanging up, a sharp light flashed in Karen's eyes.

"Boss is still just as cold-blooded... If he won't let me rescue him, then fine."

"But I must avenge Sham!"

Karen quietly slipped into a corner, and when she emerged again, she had transformed into a blue-haired, blue-clothed girl.

Even her facial features had changed considerably. No one would recognize her as Karen, the Dark-type Elite Four of Johto.

"Rotom, help me access Elite Four clearance and locate that Axel in Aurient."

"A killer... must pay with blood!"

———

"Wow, this smells so good, Gardevoir, try a bite."

Cynthia held onto Gardevoir with one arm and Pheromosa with the other, lively like a fake champion.

"Pheromosa, try this too, it's really tasty. I haven't even tried it yet, you go first."

Pheromosa quickly took a sip, her big purple eyes full of awkwardness.

'Why do Pokémon have to socialize?'

'I thought I was just a bodyguard, but now with all this, I feel more like a girlfriend...'

'I just want to go back inside my Pokéball and have a warm nap...'

"If you want to go back, then go ahead. Just let me know when you want to come out," Axel cheerfully recalled Pheromosa, then walked deeper into the night market with Cynthia and Gardevoir.

Because they had visited yesterday, they lost interest after a short while.

Seeing that it was still early, Cynthia looked into the distance of the night market.

"Shall we go check out the Cloud temple?"
