Seeing Axel look over at him, Sun, who was pouring tea for Professor Kukui, froze.
Those two had been chatting so well just now. Why were they suddenly looking at him?
He had only taken fifty Poké Dollars. That was the price for sitting along, not for chatting.
"Sun, interested in working for me for a few days?", Axel asked with a smiling face.
"Huh? I already have a job. I booked a moving company for the next few days. It pays three hundred a day."
"No problem. Just push the moving job aside. I'll give you ten thousand a day."
"What?", Hearing the number Axel named, Sun completely froze.
He could not imagine what kind of work he could do to earn ten thousand a day.
"So, you in or not? You'll just lie around or stroll about every day."
"Lie around?", Sun suddenly felt a chill clench up inside him, staring at Axel in horror.
No wonder he was paying so much and smiling so wickedly.
But… but if he could earn ten thousand a day, that would be three hundred thousand a month.
During that time, he could also train his Pokémon and take better jobs later.
Thinking about the money making life ahead, Sun clenched his teeth hard.
"Alright, but it can't be at my house. I'm afraid the neighbors will talk!"
Axel: "???"
'What the hell does that mean?'
Kukui: "!!!"
'Holy crap, hearing that would get you silenced, right?'
"What are you thinking?", Axel looked at the two of them helplessly.
"I just think Sun is pretty lucky. Today he was squatting in the bushes and still managed to run into an Ultra Beast."
"So I was thinking, if Sun keeps resting for a few more days, maybe clues about the Aether Paradise will come looking for us on their own."
"Hoo…", Professor Kukui and Sun both let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
So that was it. They had almost been scared to death just now.
"But isn't this kind of a waste of money? There's no such thing as getting paid for nothing, right?", Sun felt uneasy taking the money.
"It's fine. You'll know in a few days," even if Sun's trait could not level up, he could still force it to pop out during these days.
With his stockpile, getting a gold tier trait would be easy.
Worst case, he would just get suppressed by Pheromosa for a while longer.
Axel unilaterally settled the matter, placed the blackboard Kukui had just written in the most eye catching spot, then stood up to leave.
"Oh right, Professor, please tell me when Selene comes back."
"Sun just said that girl is very interesting. I'd like to meet her."
"Don't worry, I won't forget about Gardevoir's evolution!"
Axel: "..."
"It's the Z Move!"
———
Sun's house was not far from Kukui's lab. Axel recalled Gyarados and walked over with Gardevoir.
A hot, gentle breeze swept past. Axel and Gardevoir walked hand in hand along a cobblestone path.
The alleyways here were not wide and retained a strong tropical rainforest feel. Aside from the houses, there were very few traces of human life.
Just on the way back to Sun's house, Axel saw two groups of Exeggutor that were taller than the houses walking through the town.
The people around were not surprised at all by Axel and Gardevoir. They only thought they were Trainers visiting for travel, completely unaware that Axel had just resolved a disaster that could have endangered the entire town.
"Sun, today's job is being a tour guide."
"The guest should give Sun a bigger tip. Sun works very seriously!"
Facing the residents' teasing remarks, Axel responded to them one by one. He did not dislike this kind of atmosphere.
"Mr. Axel, that over there is my house!"
Sun pointed to a two story building not far away, "The master bedroom will be for you. It gets sunlight every day. I'll take Litten and the others to stay on the first floor."
"Thanks," Axel did not refuse. Mainly because the first floor environment did not seem bad, so it would not be mistreating Sun.
Also, he really did like sitting in a rocking chair and basking in the sun.
Back in the room, Axel made a call to Cynthia, asking her to help keep an eye on Giratina, and at the same time sent over a pre recorded video.
"Have Giratina practice these moves, and don't keep letting Dialga play with the Red Chain all the time. When you have time, let Giratina try it too."
Axel felt that the matter of popping Dialga's traits could not stop.
The Great General currently had no other route, so Dialga would just have to keep working hard.
As for Giratina, once this guy trained his moves properly and leveled up a bit, he should be able to easily suppress Team Rainbow Rocket's Dialga and Palkia.
After arranging the two unlucky ones, Axel was just about to hang up when the voice of a League staff member suddenly sounded from Cynthia's communicator.
His voice came in broken bursts, sounding like he had just run a long distance.
["Champion Cynthia, can you… can you contact Lord Axel?"]
["Professor Rowan asked the League to help get in touch with Mr. Axel. He said the first batch of psychic related materials has already been cultivated and they plan to send them to Mr. Axel."]
["Huh?"], Cynthia let out a small cry of surprise. Professor Rowan's lab was actually this efficient now.
In the past, when the League wanted some research results, they always had to line up.
["Axel, give me an address. Professor Rowan says he's sending you some things…"]
.
.
.
After hanging up Cynthia's call, Axel lightly rubbed his temples.
He had rushed over in a panic, but after arriving, things had become idle again. Should he give Eva a call?
If Axel remembered correctly, he had not spoken to Eva for quite some time. Starting the call was guaranteed to get him scolded.
But if he did not make this call, he would probably be scolded even worse later.
"Rotom, fly a bit farther away from me, then connect it."
"Roto! Roto!"
["Axel, did you forget about me?"]
["You dumped this lady here to help you look for clues, while you go off and enjoy yourself, huh?"]
["When I see you, I'm definitely going to bite you to death, ahhh!"]
Sure enough, a roar came through. Axel was very glad he had let Rotom fly far away.
"How are you going to bite me? Explain it in detail."
["You!"] On the screen projected by Rotom, Eva's face instantly turned red, as gorgeous as a spring sunset.
["You… you jerk, I was just worried about you. My mom also said she couldn't get through to you for several days..."]
["And also, guess what I've researched these past few days?"]
["When you find out, you'll definitely be shocked!"]
Seeing that Axel was fine, Eva quickly calmed down and chatted excitedly with him.
Just then, Kukui's voice came from outside the window.
"Mr. Axel, Professor Rowan has teleported over a Gengar's Poké Ball. He said Gengar brought the research results you two worked on together."
"Also, the advice you gave me was extremely helpful. Thank you so much."
On the other end of the call, Eva was instantly dumbfounded.
'What is going on?"
'How did Axel end up doing research together with Professor Rowan?'
'And guiding Professor Kukui? What is that about?'
