["Tell me, where is Aether Paradise?"]
As Gardevoir's words fell, energy surged around her.
Psychic power and Fairy power intertwined. Those energies were like Pokémon with their own awareness, gazing together with Gardevoir at the people on the ground.
The location of Aether Paradise?
Everyone froze for a moment, then began thinking.
They had just been wondering why they had come to this place. So it turned out they were here to look for the location of Aether Paradise.
But… where did Aether Paradise go?
Someone thought for a moment, then suddenly lit up, "I remember now, Aether Paradise seemed to sink into the sea."
"I remember that too. A huge protective shield rose up, and the entire island turned into the shape of a Wailord."
"And Wailord itself moves very slowly, so they went to catch jellyfish, right?"
Some people who had seen the scene of Aether Paradise disappearing spoke up with the clues they knew. Others who knew nothing at all kept slapping their foreheads nonstop.
Stupid head, think already. If you don't think now, it'll be too late!
In midair, Axel beside Gardevoir frowned slightly. The information these people were giving had some use, but if they really wanted to find Aether Paradise based on this alone, it was simply impossible.
There was too little information. It was very hard to piece together anything useful.
"Gardevoir, take this guy and find a room first. Have them write down all the clues they know."
"I'll go see if there are any fish that slipped through the net. Maybe there'll be new clues."
["Okay…"], Gardevoir nodded lightly and waved at the Aether Foundation members below.
With her will guiding them, those Aether Foundation members were like puppets controlled by invisible strings. Fearless, they passed straight through the zone where lightning and flames intertwined and ran toward a certain meeting room.
Axel even had a feeling that if Gardevoir told them to attack the Black and White Dragons right now, these guys might actually dare to rush up and fight them barehanded.
So without realizing it, Gardevoir had already been cultivated to this level?
Axel couldn't help grinning, "Gyarados, let's go too."
["Master, you're finally here!"], Seeing Axel appear, the Black and White Dragons flew over obsequiously to Gyarados's side.
Axel looked at the apocalyptic scene in the sky. The corner of his mouth twitched. It was really hard to associate these two dragon-lickers with the word "gods."
'If this was the One Piece world, these two would definitely be dragon-lickers.'
["Master, we were lurking around the area just now, watching the main wife show her might."]
["Yeah yeah yeah, the main wife is amazing. The Regirock she trained was unbeatable and easily defeated the enemy leader."]
["And not only that, the Garganacl you trained is incredible too. It let the main wife easily smash through an entire street of the research institute!"]
Based on the tiny bits of information they had seen, the two of them frantically pieced together their words, trying to make Axel think they had been secretly protecting things here all along.
"Then you did pretty well. I thought you two had run off to have fun. So, did you find any clues?"
Black and White Dragons: "???"
'Clues? What clues?'
'Weren't we told to protect the Sun and Moon Research Institute?'
They had no idea there were supposed to be clues involved.
They now felt like students who had accidentally fallen asleep in English class, only to wake up in math class.
And the math teacher was the damn dean.
"Axel, you're here!", Just as the Black and White Dragons stood there dumbfounded, desperately thinking of how to survive this disaster, Eva's eager voice came over.
She stood on Garganacl, waving excitedly at Axel. Her two little feet kept bouncing up and down, clearly missing him a lot.
"The Regirock and the Black and White Dragons you found are both very dedicated. I just led Regirock to finish off the invaders' leader."
"When the invader was about to escape, the Black and White Dragons just happened to come back from vacation and stopped that person!"
"Vacation?", Axel's gaze fell on the Black and White Dragons as he looked at them with a smile.
"Worthy of gods. Your mental resilience really is good. I told you to protect people, and you treated this place like a resort?"
"If I'd known you two would team up to lie to me after fixing your relationship, I would've sent one of you to Kyurem back then. Looks like it's still not too late now…"
Hearing Axel's cold laughter and words, the Black and White Dragons subconsciously stepped back, frantically waving their hands.
["Master, listen to us. This is all a misunderstanding. We can explain!"]
"Explain? No problem," Axel's right hand touched the ancient-looking Poké Ball at his waist.
"Do you want to go inside and explain yourselves, or should I let Rayquaza come out and listen to your explanation?"
Black and White Dragons: !!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
'Help!'
After putting the Black and White Dragons back into the Dragon Balls, Axel leapt down from Gyarados and gently hugged Eva.
"Did you miss me during this time?"
"Not at all!", Eva buried her head in Axel's chest and hugged him tightly as well.
Professor Burnet at the side curled her lips upward, showing an auntie smile.
During the time she worked together with Eva, the name she heard most often was Axel. She never expected Axel to actually come, and now Eva was getting shy instead.
The Sandslash trainer at the side was completely numb. His legs went soft and he knelt in the corner.
Even in his dreams, he never imagined that his life would include a scene like this.
Facing two legendary Pokémon trainers at the same time, and one of them was even the kind who could scold the Black and White Dragons.
"Bro, I'll confess everything!"
———
Half an hour later, Axel compiled a large amount of information onto a sheet of paper.
What could be confirmed was that the Aether Foundation had already sunk into the sea, disguised as a Wailord, and was moving toward a certain area.
"Do you know the direction Aether Paradise is heading in?", Axel continued asking the Sandslash trainer.
"Uh…", The Sandslash trainer scratched his head. A look of thinking flashed through his eyes, but no matter what, he seemed unable to remember which direction Aether Paradise had gone.
"How can I not remember?", The Sandslash trainer was full of disbelief, scratching his head like crazy.
He had clearly seen Aether Paradise disappear with his own eyes. How could he not remember which direction it went?
Gardevoir at the side poked Axel's arm and suddenly spoke, ["Master… he's been brainwashed…"]
'Brainwashed?', Axel nodded quietly. These people's reactions were indeed a bit abnormal, like something was wrong with their heads.
If they had been brainwashed, then things were much easier to explain.
"Then think again. Who exactly sent you here?", Axel prompted.
After finally finding a clue, Axel did not want to give up just like that.
Anyway, in Alola they could be considered unmatched in combat power. As long as the other party said a name, they could keep tracking upward.
Grabbing people step by step wouldn't take much effort. Sooner or later, they would find Lusamine.
"Who was it?", The Sandslash trainer scratched his head, thought for a moment, then suddenly lit up.
"I remember now. It was Young Master Gladion!"
