Pokémon: Gardevoir Harem with Tag System

After coaxing Eva and Gardevoir to sleep, Axel took a deep breath.

Having stayed in the Galar region for so long, he was finally going to meet the Sword and Shield duo gods.

'Dream Realm, activate!'

Returning to the starting point, Axel saw a woman with orange hair wearing a researcher's lab coat.

It was Sonia, Leon's childhood friend.

Her battle prowess wasn't high, yet players in the past jokingly called her the first person to defeat Leon.

At the same time, she was also the first character in the anime worldview to grow from a researcher into a professor.

Only in the dream realm, Sonia's tone and movements were slightly mechanical, as if she were an NPC.

"Hey! Are you a rational-type trainer or an emotional-type?"

Axel: "I'm the cheat-code-type?"

"There's a kind of Pokémon battle festival in the Galar region called the Gym Challenge, where you need to visit eight gyms to collect badges."

Axel: "..."

"Can you tell me about the Slumbering Weald?"

Sonia was stunned for a moment, then a surprised smile suddenly appeared on her wooden face.

"Axel, you're back!"

Axel: "..."

'Anyway, the correct dialogue finally triggered.'

The entrance to the Slumbering Weald opened, and Axel entered the forest with Mewtwo, Ho-Oh, Gardevoir, and Pheromosa.

Just like in the game Axel had played, everything here was shrouded in thick fog.

Compared to the current level of Axel's Pokémon, the wild Pokémon in this forest were not high-leveled.

Just one skill from Ho-Oh was enough to instantly kill most of the blocking Pokémon.

Even if they couldn't be one-shot, the other three Pokémon could easily deal with them with random moves.

Very soon, Axel reached the depths of the forest.

An ancient and desolate altar appeared before Axel.

This altar was in ruins, the stones mottled and covered with moss, the whole thing filled with traces of time.

After approaching the altar, all nearby Pokémon quickly fled.

Just like how Pokémon in Aurient looked at the Dragon God Plaza.

Too afraid to anger, too afraid to approach.

At the center of the stage was a simple, stone-made round platform.

At the top were a stone sword and a stone shield.

Both the sword and shield were in Western medieval style, exuding a faint divine pressure.

Axel took a deep breath, stepped onto the altar, and walked toward the center.

According to his memory.

As long as he touched the sword and shield, he could get the Sword and Shield duo gods' trial card and officially enter the storyline.

Only one step away from obtaining Eternatus.

Although he hadn't yet figured out a way to generate a soul for Eternatus, Axel couldn't wait anymore.

His "mother" was still facing off against Necrozma in the Ultra Wormhole, and he urgently needed the power of Eternatus.

"Sword and Shield duo gods, come!"

Axel raised the stone sword and stone shield, his eyes full of determination.

At that moment, two vast voices suddenly appeared from all directions.

"As expected of the warrior who can stand before us, you shall undergo our trial."

Axel: "???"

'Still have to battle?'

'I don't remember this part.'

Before Axel could react, two massive shadowy figures had already emerged in the mist, slowly appearing to his sides.

Zacian and Zamazenta, the Sword and Shield duo gods, legendary beings of the Galar region.

These two Pokémon had many similarities, both resembling large canine creatures.

The biggest difference was that Zamazenta was red, while Zacian was blue.

After a brief greeting, the two divine beasts launched an attack on Axel.

Due to the limitations of the dream world, the first Pokémon in Axel's party, Mewtwo and Ho-Oh, appeared in front of Zacian and Zamazenta.

'Double battle?'

After a brief moment of shock, Axel couldn't help but laugh.

'Are these two Pokémon strong?'

Theoretically very strong, but more so in their ability to counter Eternatus.

Whether in skills or in their unlocked "Crowned" forms, their attributes perfectly countered Eternatus' "scripted battle."

But facing Ho-Oh...

'One Fairy, one Fighting, trying to counter my Fire + Flying Ho-Oh?'

'Sorry, your types are as weak as children.'

With Tailwind + Air Slash, the Fighting-type Zamazenta was knocked out of the arena after just one attack from Ho-Oh.

The remaining Zacian also failed to do much damage to Mewtwo before following in its partner's footsteps, carried off by the combined efforts of the two Pokémon.

Looking at the Sword and Shield dogs hiding inside the relics, Axel shook his head with mild disappointment.

"Maybe I should just catch Eternatus today?"

———

At 4 a.m., Axel abruptly opened his eyes, joy overflowing in his pupils.

Last night, in the second half of the night, he had successfully captured Eternatus in the dream world.

As long as he released Eternatus, he would truly become the trainer of this top-tier divine beast.

Recalling the night he summoned Ho-Oh, Axel cautiously refrained from summoning Eternatus immediately.

That time in Kanto when he summoned Ho-Oh, the real Ho-Oh immediately sensed the appearance of the baby Ho-Oh and descended before Axel, granting the Rainbow Wing.

Although Ho-Oh's appearance allowed Ho-Oh to gain a soul, Axel absolutely didn't want every summoned divine beast to be detected by the gods of this world.

He planned to summon many divine beasts in the future, and some of them weren't exactly benevolent.

Before his strength grew, would he even be able to handle them if they all showed up?

If summoning Eternatus now caused this world's Eternatus to descend, that'd be a little too intense...

"System?"

[Don't worry, last time was just a coincidence.]

"Then how did you know what I was about to ask?"

The system was silent for three seconds.

[Fine... last time was an accident. This time I'll provide shielding services.]

"Perfect!"

With the system's guarantee, Axel woke up the soundly sleeping Gardevoir.

"Gardevoir, use Hypnosis on Eva."

Gardevoir: !!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ

'No way, Trainer, you're still not letting her off even while she's asleep?'

'Also, she's awake, she can just do it herself...'

'Do you have some strange kink?'

A few black lines immediately appeared on Axel's face. He flicked Gardevoir's forehead hard.

"What are you thinking? We're going out to pick up a new teammate."

"Once this new teammate appears, our team's strength might get a huge boost."

Unlike other divine beasts, Eternatus can provide an incredibly terrifying amplification effect on other Pokémon even at level one.

Because... it is the origin of Gigantamax.

Although the Eternatus of this world is not a god benevolent toward humans, the entire Galar region's Gigantamax phenomenon came from him.

Once Eternatus emerges, Axel might completely master the powerful battle mechanic of Gigantamax.

He might even break the restriction of only one Pokémon being able to Gigantamax per team.
