"I want it~"
After hesitating for a moment, Axel finally let out a slight sigh and accepted the card from Caitlin's hand.
Mainly because many of the Pokémon in his team were already starting to take off, or were about to take off.
The earliest ones, Gardevoir and Pheromosa, didn't even need to be mentioned.
Even the later Gyarados had suddenly become a Dragon-type Pokémon, and while compensating for its own shortcomings, it had also received Palkia's inheritance.
General Duraludon hadn't received any very strong inheritance yet, but he wasn't weak to begin with, and receiving Dialga's inheritance was already on Axel's schedule.
Little Phoenix(Ho-Oh) and Eternatus didn't need training at all. These days they could just grind levels by battling against the twin dragons of time and space.
Mewtwo, Rayquaza, and Glastrier were even more worry-free, basically requiring no active involvement.
Now, the real remaining headaches were only Dragonair, Gholdengo, Gible, and Nihilego.
Among them, Nihilego would most likely find its own training path in the Alola region, and the other two Pokémon had joined later than Dragonair.
Therefore, Axel had been thinking about how to train Dragonair recently.
Dragonite's precious baby, after coming to him, was living like it was on vacation.
Eating, drinking, playing all day, he was about to spoil it into uselessness.
It wasn't that Axel couldn't think of training methods for Dragonair, but that there were too many options, which made it hard to choose.
The simplest was to let Dragonair evolve perfectly, and during its evolution its level would skyrocket once.
Its natural evolution level was already 55; as long as he made full use of the entry of the Evolver, maybe it could step straight into Elite level.
At that time he could give it a Normal-type Tera, playing the most terrifying, most oppressive Extreme Speed build.
Then there was using Eternatus to try making Dragonair enter a permanent Gigantamax state after evolution, recreating the giant Dragonite from the anime. Its combat power wouldn't be bad either.
Or he could further develop Dragonair's "Dragon Body" entry, turning her into one of the team's tanks.
Emmm… this option was just something Axel thought about when he was bored, otherwise he'd easily get assassinated by Professor Oak's Dragonite.
But with the rice bowl Caitlin brought over, it seemed he didn't need to agonize anymore.
Lance's ability to train Dragonair was known worldwide.
The Dragonair he trained all developed their species' natural gifts to the extreme. They could summon any weather without even using moves.
At the same time, the physical fitness of those two Dragonair was not weak in the slightest.
Actually, a while ago, Axel had already been very envious of Lance's Dragonair-training plan.
The best part of this plan was that Dragonair could carry the Eviolite, and paired with Dragonair's Dragon Body, it might create unexpected effects.
He had even researched whether Lance had somehow plucked wool from the Forces of Nature trio, and had even thought of going to him to ask where to find the trio.
But Axel didn't know Lance, so he could only think about meeting him someday in the future. Now it seemed he didn't need to anymore.
Seeing Axel accept the card, Caitlin's lips curled up as usual.
Finally, she had captured Axel.
'Man, accepting my financial support will be the beginning of your downfall.'
Caitlin had already decided: after going out later, she would immediately replace all of Axel's Poké Balls with the most luxurious, top-tier, ultra-luxury ones that only circulated among the very top layer.
Then she'd get the best resources for Gardevoir and Pheromosa.
She, Caitlin, wasn't the kind of woman who didn't take responsibility, she had to marry Axel and Gardevoir home.
"Ahem~ maybe you should put your clothes back on first?"
"Huh?", Caitlin froze, then finally noticed her stockings were half-torn, and even one of her heels was missing.
'Wuwuwu… so embarrassing!'
Caitlin felt completely socially dead now.
Had she been putting on a queen act wearing this outfit just now?
'So humiliating!'
"It's fine, what's there to be embarrassed about?", Axel put an arm around Caitlin's shoulders, letting psychic power flow in to soothe her emotions.
"No one else saw it anyway, just pretend you were wearing a princess dress earlier."
In the quiet environment, as Axel's words came out, Caitlin's heart thumped wildly like a startled deer, her pretty face flushing red.
She turned her head aside unnaturally, starting to panic a little.
She had been the one seducing Axel just now, so why was Axel suddenly comforting her?
"What's going on?", Axel straightened Caitlin's clothes while wondering at her reaction.
He knew Caitlin had a mental illness, but surely she wouldn't relapse just from changing clothes?
Very soon, Axel had transformed Caitlin into a pure white-shirt-and-short-skirt look, barefoot and pure.
"Emmm… this is much more pleasing to the eye, but remember to float a little lower."
"Oh~", Caitlin suddenly lost all her queenly aura, hanging her head like an ostrich.
"Um… from now on, my Balenciaga and Valentino, you can only have me wear them when it's just the two of us."
Axel jerked like someone had stepped on him, staring at Caitlin in horror.
'I thought of this as an add-on service for the gold card, why are you treating it like romance?'
"I'll wear them for you tonight. Come over then, okay?"
Axel blinked. He had just been about to shake his head when Caitlin spoke again.
"I'll invite Nana too."
Axel: (╹▽╹)
'Whoever doesn't go is a loser!'
———
Before leaving, Caitlin handed Axel a disc, and Axel had Rotom read it.
Lance and his two Dragonair appeared on Rotom's projection screen.
["As everyone knows, every Pokémon species has its unique species talent."]
["But without a doubt, the most powerful are dragons…"]
Axel tugged at the corner of his mouth and skipped ahead.
'As expected, given Lance's worship of dragons, the opening would be at least thirty minutes of bragging."
Sure enough, when Axel dragged the time bar to the thirty-first minute, Lance's voice became clear again.
["We've just finished covering the most important spiritual concepts. I believe you've gained a lot."]
["Now we'll discuss something less important, dragon training!"
["Earlier, we talked about Dragonair's species trait. It's called the Child of Weather among dragon-type Pokémon."]
["And within the Pokémon world, there is another Pokémon with the same reputation. This is the key to Dragonair aligning even more deeply with the title of Child of Weather."]
Hearing this, Axel couldn't help his eyes lighting up.
He had figured out how to train Dragonair.
