Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Two Spiritomb
"In Petalglen City?"
Seeing the location displayed on Rotom, Karen's pupils instantly darkened.
"Killed Sham… and still dared to swagger out and have fun, really think there's no one left in Johto?"
As an Elite Four of the Indigo League, Karen's authority was terrifyingly high.
Except for the Champion and other Elites, anyone else who uses the Rotom Pokédex can be traced in her Pokédex.
This function was originally intended to let the Elites and Gym Leaders protect rookie trainers who possess the Pokédex. Now it was used by Karen to determine Axel's location.
"Spiritomb, let's go!"
Accompanied by Karen's icy voice, a particularly terrifying Pokémon appeared beside her.
This Pokémon looked like a wedge-shaped rock with a mysterious gas-like entity on it, surrounded by patterns resembling eyes and a mouth.
This kind of Pokémon didn't have high base stats, but its type combination was extremely terrifying.
The Ghost and Dark typing brought immunity to Normal, Fighting, and Psychic, and its only weakness was Fairy.
Before Fairy type emerged, it was called the perfect Pokémon by many.
"Although it's not my main force Pokémon, it's just right to deal with someone like Axel without exposing my identity..."
A cold smile flashed at the corner of Karen's mouth. Her shadow suddenly lengthened, covering both herself and Spiritomb, and quickly moved toward the Cloud Temple.
———
"Wow, this is the Cloud Temple?"
"So beautiful," Cynthia looked with delight at the huge white-horse-shaped building in the distance and excitedly shook Gardevoir and Axel's arms.
"Look, the humanoid statue on the white horse is even more handsome than Axel."
Axel: "..."
'Damn it, that's only because you're not rich enough yet.'
'My looks aren't just looks, they're the standard for measuring a woman's wealth.'
Cynthia clearly didn't know Axel's inner thoughts and still happily walked toward the ticket booth.
"Let's go, let's buy tickets and look around inside."
"Sure," Axel walked to the ticket booth entrance and looked back at Cynthia and Gardevoir.
"Do you want to go to the performance area to watch the show, or the battle zone for a few matches?"
"I want both...", Cynthia twirled a strand of golden hair with her finger, clearly torn.
But after checking the time, she sighed helplessly.
It'd be perfect if a villain came to assassinate Axel right now, then she'd have a reason not to go home.
"Let's go watch the performance first."
"Alright, then let's watch the performance," Axel handed Rotom to the staff inside.
"Hello, two performance tickets please. The best private booth, one with a full view of the show."
After buying the tickets, Axel ran forward a few steps and bought some candied fruit.
He handed the two strawberry ones to Gardevoir, and the rest all to Cynthia.
"Don't know what flavor you like, so I bought one of each. Want to try?"
"Sure," Cynthia picked a strawberry skewer, same as Gardevoir's, from Axel's hand, took a bite, and instantly squinted her eyes with a smile.
"This is delicious," Cynthia brought the half-bitten skewer to Axel's mouth, "You try it too."
Axel took a bite from both Cynthia and Gardevoir's skewers, then turned around and led them through the VIP passage into the private booth.
"If it's good, eat more. Just be careful not to knock off your sunglasses. If someone recognizes us, we won't be able to leave."
"Got it~ Don't worry, I'm great at running after being recognized."
Cynthia stuck out her tongue but still obediently put her sunglasses on properly.
Soon, they entered the booth.
Cynthia's Rotom phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at it, then frowned and immediately turned it off.
"What's wrong?", Noticing Cynthia seemed a bit unhappy, Axel patted her shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
Thinking about what happened during training just now, Cynthia's body tensed up briefly, but then quickly relaxed again, imitating Gardevoir and leaning against Axel's arm.
"It's just Aaron… keeps asking when I'm going back, wants to schedule a battle, so annoying..."
Hearing that name, Axel couldn't help but laugh.
Sinnoh's most passionate man, the prime example of repeated defeat and repeated battle.
He challenged Cynthia countless times, but according to rumors, he never even got past Garchomp.
And Cynthia liked stormy, overwhelming offense, so as a result, after all this time, Aaron probably hadn't even seen her second Pokémon.
"Do you want to beat him into submission in one go?"
"Huh?", Hearing Axel's words, Cynthia looked up at him in surprise.
If someone else had said this, Cynthia would definitely have told them what kind of person Aaron was right away.
Trying to beat Aaron into submission? Easier to beat him to death.
But since Axel was the one who said it...
Thinking of how her defenses were broken by Axel's Mewtwo, Cynthia couldn't help but start looking forward to it.
"Absolutely!"
Axel hugged Cynthia tighter and slid his left hand down slightly, brushing over the Poké Balls on Cynthia's waist.
"I remember you have a Spiritomb, right? Which one of these Poké Balls is it?"
"I'll come up with a tactic for you. Should be enough to make Aaron cry."
———
At the same time, Karen, now in disguise, entered Cloud Temple.
"Spiritomb, get ready… Today we're avenging Sham!"
