With Kyurem's "enthusiastic help," Little Shark's level ushered in an explosive surge.
Relying on the core Dragon Scales condensed by Kyurem, Little Shark's temporary level successfully broke through, and his body's tolerance also became much tougher.
This led to him becoming even more able to eat, and then the higher the temporary level went.
A perfect cycle was formed.
The only two problems were that Little Shark ate very painfully, and Kyurem's scales were starting to not quite keep up.
As for Little Shark's performance, Axel had only one thing to say.
"You've only had a few days of eating your fill and you already dare to not eat?"
"If you don't eat, there are plenty of others who will. How about letting Kyurem eat your scales instead?"
But when it came to Kyurem, Axel had no solution.
'This guy is truly bald now... and only bald, not stronger.'
"If only I could get Teacher Saitama's trait."
When Kyurem finally couldn't hold on anymore, Axel could only sigh helplessly and temporarily stop the training of the two of them.
Fortunately, the results were still quite pleasing. Little Shark's temporary level had now stabilized at level 90.
His real level had also successfully reached level 47. As long as he broke through one more level and reached the evolution requirement of level 48, he would, in a short time, become a terrifying level 90 Garchomp that had mastered Dragon Dance.
And at the Sun and Moon Research Institute, a guest Axel hadn't seen in a long time arrived as well.
Raihan!
When Axel saw Raihan being brought over by Professor Kukui, his face was full of confusion.
"Why are you here? Is Galar not busy anymore?"
Actually, after parting ways with Raihan, the two had stayed in contact from time to time.
Axel knew that ever since Leon got lost in Johto, Raihan had temporarily taken over the Champion position of the Galar region.
He didn't expect that after just a few days without calling, this guy would run all the way to Alola.
When Leon was mentioned, Raihan's face visibly darkened, and once he started complaining, his mouth just wouldn't stop.
"That guy... clearly from the Galar region, yet he ended up staying in Kanto for more than half a year."
"What's even more ridiculous is that he even beat up that Masked Man group from Kanto. Recently, a lot of their organization's adopted sons and daughters have run to Galar to get revenge."
"I'm a Gym Leader, but I'm doing all the Champion's work. I'm about to be worked to death!"
"After he finally came back, I originally thought that with so many battles during this period, Duraludon might be able to suppress his Charizard a bit."
"But then... then that bastard pulled out an Entei, damn it!"
Axel held back his laughter. He truly couldn't understand how someone could be this miserable.
Raihan's experience was no different from a certain corporate general manager running off, with the deputy general manager thinking that as long as he developed the company well, he'd get to live the good life and eventually outshine the general manager.
Only to later find out that the general manager who ran off was actually the chairman of the board!
Axel adjusted his expression, "And then?"
Raihan sighed. Before he could speak, Professor Kukui beside him spoke first.
"Mr. Raihan wanted to come to Alola to see if it's possible to research the fusion of Z-Moves and Dynamax, so he came here."
"We really owe a lot to Mr. Raihan during this period. Otherwise, some Ultra Beasts might have entered cities where humans live."
Axel understood instantly. No wonder Raihan didn't say anything. After coming here, he'd ended up becoming a hired fighter again...
"So what are you here for this time?"
"It's mainly for Mr. Raihan," Professor Kukui scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
"My research direction is mainly Z-Moves, that is, the development of new moves."
"I've been helping Mr. Raihan research for quite a while now, but there hasn't been any substantial progress."
"So we thought of asking Dr. Burnet and Dr. Eva to take a look, to see if there might be some new ideas."
"Yes," Seeing Professor Kukui get straight to the point, Raihan beside him also smiled and rubbed the back of his head, no longer dwelling on Leon.
He spoke cheerfully, "I heard that girl Eva also became a Aurient Doctor. I remember when I first met you two, you were still high school exam students."
"Professor Kukui said you were all here, so I came along. It's perfect, I can spar with you again, and mooch a few days of food while I'm at it, haha."
"No problem. It just so happens that these past few days there's plenty of food for Dragon-types. And I've also just finished raising two Pokémon. I'll let them spar with Duraludon and Flygon."
"You've caught new Pokémon too?", Raihan's eyes lit up, filled with fighting spirit.
"What Pokémon are they? Don't tell me they're new Ultra Beasts?"
"No, just Pokémon from the Pokémon world," Axel said modestly, "Just a Groudon and a Kyurem."
Raihan: "???"
"Who? You said Groudon and Kyurem?"
Raihan let out a strange cry, waved at Axel, and turned to leave immediately.
He couldn't take these Legendary Pokémon guys anymore!
"Wait...", Seeing Raihan like this, Axel stopped teasing him.
"I was just joking. The one sparring is this Gabite."
Raihan let out a long breath, "I'll take this job. I'll leave it to Flygon then!"
"Oh right, why don't I see Eva? Call her out. I'll treat you all to a meal in a nearby town."
"I'm telling you, I recently found a restaurant that's really good. You have to go on Saturdays or Sundays though. The owner said that top-tier chef only comes as a part-timer. His name is something like Sun?"
"I'm here! I'm here!", Hearing Raihan call her, Eva quickly put down her work, took off her lab coat, and ran out.
After everyone left, only Lusamine and Lillie remained in the First Research Lab.
Seeing Eva and Axel leave, and noticing Lillie's obvious low mood, Lusamine sighed quietly to herself.
Recently, her thinking was no different from a normal person's anymore, and she had already figured out that Axel had mistaken her for someone else that night.
After seeing how familiar Eva was with Axel's friends, and Lillie's dejected behavior, she became even more certain about the relationship between the two.
"My poor Lillie... how could a woman who came later ever compare to a childhood sweetheart?"
Unless... there were some more exciting things.
Lusamine sighed. For her daughter's sake, perhaps she would need to find time to help Axel do some relaxing battles again.
