Pokémon: Gardevoir Harem with Tag System

While Cynthia and Gardevoir went to buy food, Axel also prepared meals for the Pokémon.

As soon as they got to the hotel, the Pokémon, exhausted after a long day, returned to their Poké Balls after finishing their food.

Even Gardevoir yawned and, for once, went into her Poké Ball to sleep.

"You take a bath first," Axel pulled open the bathroom door for Cynthia, decisively making the decision for her.

From the way she struggled when picking skewers earlier, Axel had already seen that Cynthia had some compulsive tendencies.

After closing the door for her, Axel suddenly remembered that he had been talking about Masked Man during the conversation with Karen earlier, but Cynthia clearly didn't know the details, so he explained:

"Masked Man is a Gym Leader from the Kanto side, with some connections to Team Rocket."

"But he's hiding the secret of the legendary beast Celebi, and he doesn't have any world-destroying ambitions…"

Before Axel could continue, Cynthia's pleasant voice came from the bathroom, "I know. Actually, even if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have asked, and I definitely wouldn't have said anything."

Axel smiled, "That's exactly why I should tell you."

Cynthia didn't say anything, but Axel could clearly sense a happier atmosphere in the air.

'Such a nice evening, might as well check what the Kanto bros are up to.'

While waiting for Cynthia to finish using the bathroom, Axel opened his Rotom phone and pulled up the long-hidden Kanto Gym Leader group chat.

[Rock-hard Man, Brock: Everyone, big news! The Pewter City Museum is now open to the public for free! Just need to reserve a few days in advance, so please help spread the word.]

[Erika: Brock, you work so hard… You're a Gym Leader and doing PR? Maybe consider selling Pokémon meals instead.]

[Rock-hard Man, Brock: Being a security guard sharpens my rock-like willpower!]

Axel rubbed his chin and @-ed Brock in the group chat.

[How's that willpower sharpening going?]

[Rock-hard Man (crossed out) Brock: What rock-like willpower? I don't know what you're talking about.]

[Misty: Whew... I can finally fully control my Gyarados. But seriously Brock, why'd you chicken out? Even when Red smashed your Onix, you didn't act like this!]

[Brock: Don't you get it yourself? angry.jpg]

What was he supposed to say?

Was he supposed to announce in the group chat that Axel had Ho-Oh, and he got smacked by it?

Getting beaten by Ho-Oh is fine, but not exposing the opponent's Pokémon, that's the basic etiquette of being a Gym Leader.

Seeing Brock's reaction, Axel instantly understood.

No wonder the news about him having Ho-Oh hadn't leaked, it turns out League trainers are this tight-lipped.

Not that he planned to keep it secret anyway.

[Don't worry, Brock. I won't use Ho-Oh to beat you up next time.]

The moment that message appeared, the entire group exploded.

[Erika: Ho-Oh? Is it the Ho-Oh I'm thinking of? Can we meet tomorrow?]

[Giovanni of Viridian City: No wonder the young man's been on a roll lately, turns out you caught Ho-Oh. When are you coming back to Kanto? I'll personally welcome you and show you the beauty of Kanto.]

[Agatha: I just happened to be bored lately. When you return to Kanto, don't forget to let this old lady have a look at Ho-Oh too.]

[Lt. Surge: Wow wow wow, Ho-Oh? Kanto is truly blessed!]

[Sabrina: ...confused head-tilt.jpg]

[Koga: Right right right, Kanto welcomes you!]

Messages popped up rapidly, and Koga even sent a private message, [Don't come here! Giovanni and the others are all from Team Rocket.]

"I know. Why else would I say it in the group?"

Koga: "???"

Axel closed Koga's chat, sent a smile emoji, and then @-ed Giovanni.

[I'll definitely visit when I can. Uncle, just make sure you're not off traveling again, wait for me properly in Kanto.]

[Giovanni: Don't worry. I won't take any more leave for the next few months.]

Axel grinned and closed the group chat.

Who else can control Giovanni's schedule with just one sentence?

"Axel, which is better, milk bath or rose bath?"

Hearing Cynthia's voice, Axel froze a little.

He'd been chatting in the group for ten minutes, and she hadn't even started the bath yet?

"I'll help you pick."

Slide~

And then Axel saw a perfect golden-haired silhouette. On the shelf beside her was that familiar black outfit.

Axel paused, she hadn't even started the water and already used Shell Smash?

"Uh... Should I go out?"

Seeing Axel enter, Nana fluttered her eyelashes.

Unconsciously remembering today's battle, she immediately turned around like a startled little animal.

Axel quickly apologized, handed her the milk bath, and turned to leave.

Just then, a small voice came from behind.

"Don't... don't go..."

Now cutting to a special broadcast of Gyarados VS Cloyster:

The tides rise and fall, and on the smooth beach, a Cloyster appears.

An outsider Gyarados had been playing on the beach for a long time and soon decided to take over the area. It promptly Gigantamaxed and launched an attack on the Cloyster.

Cloyster instinctively tightened its defenses, easily blocking the first wave of Gyarados's assault, but its trainer turned red with surprise, looking fearfully at the Gyarados.

Even though she had never seen such a creature, she knew—it was definitely a king among Gyarados!

"Go easier... she won't be able to handle it."

"Okay~", The Gyarados trainer arrived just in time to calm the frenzied Gyarados, instructing it to use its lowest-power Tackle move.

Meanwhile, the Gyarados trainer extended a large hand, reaching for the big sea slug jumping around on top of Cloyster.

After a few tackles, Cloyster was nearly powerless to resist, relying only on lingering bonds to keep fighting.

After a barrage of Water Gun attacks, the Gyarados trainer let out a loud command.

"Gyarados—Hydro Cannon!"

Under the pressure of the Hydro Cannon, Cloyster couldn't hold on any longer. Letting out a whimper like a small animal, it went limp and gave up resistance.

Gyarados completely claimed the beach, wildly spraying Hydro Cannon on the now-defeated Cloyster.

The massive Water Gun attack lasted for a long time, even splashing onto the nearby beach like creamy white jade.

Battle over. Axel returned Gyarados to its ball and gently massaged Cynthia's Cloyster with sympathy.

"Still want to eat?"

"Grr!", Cynthia bit Axel on the neck.

"You bastard! Bullying my Cloyster in her first battle! If you hadn't held back a bit just now, I would've had Garchomp bite you to death!"

"No no no!", Axel quickly surrendered.

"You could bite me to death too, actually!"
