Pokémon: Gardevoir Harem with Tag System

"Spiritomb~"

Hearing her master's words about killing.

Karen's Spiritomb's body slowly twisted, looking like a pink demonic potted plant.

As a Ghost and Dark type Pokémon, Spiritomb was inherently more brutal than other Pokémon.

Coupled with the influence of her master's personality, Karen's Spiritomb was even more vicious than the average Spiritomb.

Except when facing a stronger member of its own kind, almost every battle was extremely frenzied.

Seeing Spiritomb's appearance, Karen couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.

She had read Axel's information. According to the reports and intelligence, the opponent who defeated Sham had used a massive Gyarados.

But no matter what, the opponent's Gyarados had only just evolved.

In front of Spiritomb's overwhelming power, the other party probably didn't even have the courage to act, right?

However, to be cautious, Karen still planned to contact her allies in Team Rocket first.

Have them help take the lead to avoid exposing her own identity.

It hadn't been easy for her to reach this position, and she absolutely couldn't expose herself lightly.

"Boss really has great methods… I'm afraid even Giovanni doesn't know how many people in Team Rocket are already secretly in contact with us, huh?"

[Emberpine City]

Lance, who was helping Uncle Sonny with deliveries, wiped the sweat off his forehead and took out his Rotom phone with some displeasure.

"Damn it, do they even know I'm working overtime for my godlike master's father-in-law at this hour?"

"Calling me now, what if it delays tomorrow's operations?"

After glancing at the Rotom phone, a hint of doubt flashed in Lance's eyes.

'It is her?'

"Rotom, disable video, voice only."

["Hello, Mr. Lance, are you in the Aurient region recently?",] Karen's voice came through the phone.

["I want to ask you to do something for me, find someone to help me, bring my Pokémon along, and kill someone…"]

Hearing what Karen wanted to do, Lance's eyes instantly lit up.

'Have one of my people bring Spiritomb to kill the master?'

'Then you've really delivered this to my doorstep.'

'Tomorrow I'll give your Spiritomb to the master as a gift.'

"Sure, leave it to me, my guy is in Ninox right now."

After hanging up the phone, Lance excitedly rubbed his hands together.

Originally he had been thinking about taking a roundabout route to win favor, by getting close to the master's future in-laws to make the godlike master look at him more favorably.

Then take a position as a Team Rocket officer, and maybe get promoted to branch leader.

'Didn't expect this pleasant surprise.'

He made a few calls to his subordinates, making a simple deployment.

Then he stood upright and respectfully dialed Axel's number.

"Master, I have something to report."

"Didn't you catch two assassins from the Johto region a while back? Now one of Johto's Four Elites, Karen, wants to take revenge on you."

"Because we had a previous deal, she's asking us for help again."

"I've already tricked her level-50+ Spiritomb over, should I try to trick her Absol too?"

Axel: "..."

'As expected of Team Rocket, they really go all out.'

'She came all the way to kill me, and you tricked her level-50+ Spiritomb?'

'Still thinking of tricking Absol too, do you even hear yourself?'

'As a legendary disaster beast, no one would hand their Absol over for others to use, right?'

Besides, Axel was well aware that the so-called "disaster beast" title was a misunderstanding of this Pokémon, and that at its core, it was actually a very gentle Pokémon.

If their trainer wasn't nearby, they would absolutely never kill.

So Lance's plan was doomed to fail.

Axel shook his head and was just about to respond, when Cynthia beside him suddenly lit up.

While Axel was talking to Lance, Cynthia had already learned about the relationship between them from Gardevoir.

With such a good insider, why trick Spiritomb?

Cynthia had just been imagining a villain showing up, giving her more time alone with Axel.

If they captured a traitor among the Four Elites, Axel would have a very solid reason to not come home for the night, right?

"Abort your plan. Let Karen come on her own," Before Axel could speak, Cynthia stood up directly, her eyes blazing as she looked at Lance in his work clothes on the screen.

Only then did Lance notice Cynthia's presence next to Axel, and instinctively took half a step back.

'The master of gods… actually dating the Sinnoh Champion?'

But Lance still didn't agree immediately and instead gave Axel a questioning look.

"Do as Cynthia says. Let Karen come herself."

"As for the method… figure it out yourself."

After hanging up the call, Axel tapped his index finger on the desk in front of him, falling into brief contemplation.

He remembered this person, Karen, the Dark-type Elite of Johto, and also one of Masked Man's disciples.

But unlike Blue, she had voluntarily become Masked Man's disciple.

Also, she played a major role when Masked Man subdued Ho-Oh the second time.

If Mewtwo could brainwash Karen, Axel might have a good lead on Celebi later.

Then the next step was clear, beat Karen down.

"Let's not think about her for now. Lance probably still needs some time to fool her over. I'll help you check out Spiritomb first."

"Okay!", Cynthia's smile bloomed the moment she heard that Axel was prioritizing her.

As expected of the man both she and Caitlin had fallen for. Neither of them took Karen seriously at all.

Whether in front of Cynthia or in front of Mewtwo, Karen would have a hard time putting up any resistance.

Cynthia sent out Garchomp and Lucario, instructing them to wait at the door for Karen, then released Spiritomb.

A flash of white light, and Cynthia's Spiritomb appeared in front of the two of them.

It was a Pokémon that looked very much like a potted plant, only it looked extremely evil.
