A few days have passed since the disappearance of Axel Blaze. The world had erupted with the said news. Most of them were blaming the Venu family for their incompetence because Axel got lost inside their forest, while some of them even blamed the Seven Deadly Sins for their wicked ways.
"Okay, explain it to me once again. How did he get lost inside the forest?"
"One of my members said that there was a problem near the entrance of the forest. Axel was nearby, and since he is the elder, he decided to check it out. After that, we don't know what happened."
BANG!!!
"Don't you have any cameras around it. You must know something more if you concentrate.", said an old man banging the table.
"Samuel, if you are thinking that I purposely tried to kidnap Axel for my benefit, then you have gone senile. Why will I kidnap my golden goose? And don't think that you can just order me around since you are the Pokemon master. I am also the head of the starter family of the Kanto region.", shouted Angela with a sharp tone.
Angela and Oak were discussing what had happened to Axel. Since Axel disappeared on her turf, she was not only questioned by Oak but also by others, including his parents.
The Pokemon under Axel was also feeling anxious. They knew that Axel was alive due to the system's connection, but that was all they knew.
As they were talking, someone knocked on the door and came inside in a hurry.
"Sir, Miss. Shila has arrived and is walking towards the forest.", said the man.
BANG!!!
Oak slammed the table again, which was finally broken into two pieces.
"Finally, it is about time."
Shila was the current champion of the Kalos region, and even though she was the strongest champion, she had a Pokemon that was unique.
Oak and Angela rushed towards the entrance of the forest, and there they could see Shila, who was wearing a blue top and black pants, looking around the place where Axel had disappeared. Near her was an elegant-looking Pokemon looking around the place and trying to find what had happened here. The Pokemon was Gardevoir.
"Shila, did you find anything?", asked Oak hurriedly, but his voice ended when Shila raised her hand, telling him to shut up.
Since it concerned Axel's well-being, Oak chose to keep quiet.
Suddenly, Gardevoir started to glow in purple light. It began to levitate, and after five minutes, it came down as the purple light disappeared.
"There is a strong psychic fluctuation here.", said Gardevoir.
"What does that mean?"
"It means someone tried to tear the space around here, and they succeeded. As per my estimation, Axel should have done it inside this portal that was here before."
Yes, this Gardevoir had a rare space talent. It was a form of psychic type, but having the talent to manipulate and sense space fluctuations was very rare even among psychic-type Pokemon.
"I knew it!!!", shouted Oak with his hand raised in happiness. Finally, they had a lead. It was still a needle in the haystack, but it was a lead.
Shila told her Pokemon to sense space fluctuations around the place, but it didn't find any other abnormalities.
###
"So, something or someone created a crack in space and Axel was sucked inside it, right?", asked Oak.
"Yes, that is right.", replied Shila.
"Can your Pokemon tell us where Axel went from that space fluctuation?"
"No, unfortunately, it cannot. That is the best that it could do."
"Alright, thanks for your input. I will remember this favor.", said Oak.
Shila nodded and then told them that she would go back, disappearing with her Gardevoir.
Oak and Angela wanted to ensure that if something happened to Axel or if he ventured deeper into the forest, as the forest was perilous and had yet to be fully cleared and explored.
"Now, we know that something happened to Axel, and he disappeared somewhere. But where had he gone? Do you have a way to know it?", asked Angela to Oak.
Since Oak was the Pokemon master and he could converse with Arceus, Angela felt that he must have a way to deal with such things.
"There are only three possible things that could have happened to him. Either he had been teleported somewhere around this world. If that is the case, then we can find him, but it would take some time.
There is also a possibility that he could have gone to another realm. If that is the case, then there is no way we can know where he has gone. We can only place our hopes that he will return. Of course, I can talk to Arceus or Xerneas regarding it, but a price must be paid if we want to contact them. I would rather not do it."
"What is the third possibility?", asked Angela.
"The third possibility is that he got lost in the void, or he got in between the realms. If this is the case, then he is already dead."
"Then we can rule out that possibility.", said Angela.
"Why are you so confident in this?"
"Because none of his Pokemon are panicking. Axel had told me once that if anything happened to him, his Pokemon would know. They share some sort of connection."
"Really? Why was I not informed of it?"
"If you pay some attention to your successor, then you would have known it long back."
###
It had only been a few days since Axel had disappeared from Earth, but the world had gotten the news, and the news was exploding. Axel's friends were also worried about him. This was not the first time he had gotten lost. Last time, he was kidnapped. So, all of them hoped that he would return.
A little girl was looking at the stars at night, thinking about her brother. She was currently outside her house near the garden.
"Blastoise, is brother really, okay?"
"Of course, he is okay. You should not doubt your brother so much. He is powerful.", came a voice from behind, which startled the little girl.
The little girl was Agnes, and the one who spoke was Noah, Axel's uncle. Axel had already told them that his Pokemon could know if he was alive or not, and since all of his Pokemon had come to Axel's house after his disappearance, they knew that he was alive.
But they didn't know where he was or what he was doing.
"He is going to be okay. He had faced more dangerous situations before. Now, he has his Pokemon. So, he will be okay."
Noah's confidence came when Axel treated him and his Scizor. The thing he could not do for so many years, Axel just did after starting his journey a couple of years ago.
Axel had disappeared before, but this time, Agnes felt guilty. She didn't know why she felt like that. It was not her fault that he got lost. But deep down, she knew that Axel got lost because she was weak. Axel was the only pillar that was holding this family together.
He was a strong trainer. But not only that, the concept of restaurants, day care, and even the academy came from him. She was not as intelligent as her brother, but one thing she could improve on was working hard. She had been feeling arrogant for some time.
Not only did she have two Pokemon before the age of 12, but one of her Pokemon was a rare-ranked Pokemon and it was a dragon-type, pseudo-legendary Pokemon. So, she had the right to be arrogant. But when she joined 'Dragon Academy' with nine other talented students, she realized that she was not so special.
She was not even the strongest in the class. She realized the vast difference between her and her brother.
"I need to get stronger. First of all, I will start to train my new Pokemon. Also, I will talk to Mr. Lance about how to train a Dragonite."
Dragonite was her first Pokemon, and it had remained in rare rank for a long time. It was tough to rank up a dragon-type Pokemon that was also a pseudo-legendary.
###
"Hector, do you have any idea what might have happened?"
"How would I know that?"
"Well, since you are the closest to the leader, I figured that you must have some hidden details."
"I don't have any hidden details, notices, or instructions. Besides, it is not the first time our leader has gotten lost like this. The best and strongest minds are working on it. We can just relax and train our Pokemon.", said Hector.
"Hector, I know that we don't have any leads or know how to search for our leader, but we must do something. It is our leader.", shouted Ashmita.
Hector knew that Axel would be okay because he was his leader. There was no way that his leader could come back from just a thing. Besides, since Oak and Angela were already investigating it, there was no need for the whole team to help them as well.
It was just a waste of time. But the team members and other commanders have grown impatient after waiting for so long.
"Okay, I will set up a search party that will help Oak and Angela's team. The rest of us will train and get ready when the leader comes back."
###
"So, Axel got lost, huh?"
"Yes, I talked to Shila, and she said that Axel must have gotten inside some portal that might lead him to another realm or dimension."
"So, he is going to come back even stronger? That guy sure is lucky!!!"
"Cynthia, Axel got lost in some space fluctuations. We don't even know if he is alive. How can you be so sure that he will come back stronger?"
"Because that is the man he is. If you throw him into a dangerous situation, he will not only escape from the problem but also come back stronger. I need to train hard and get stronger.
Grandma, I am going there. Please contact Lance's parents. I think that I will get stronger there if I train with Dragonite."
While Axel was lost in the fairy realm, all of them had were doing their own thing. The Seven Deadly Sins were getting restless, too.
###
"DAMN IT!! How could that idiot get lost in space fluctuation?", shouted a young man as he punched the wall, hurting himself.
The young man was Bruno Welts. His subordinates were sitting in the chairs, wondering why he was so angry about this news.
"Sir, I don't think there will be any problem with our plan. Why are you so worried?"
"You would not understand. He was my rival. I mean, it's my rival."
Bruno had achieved all that he wanted to do in his life. He was now at the pinnacle of his field, and his goals were being achieved without delay. But he felt that he was alone when he reached this stage.
