Ishida subconsciously had Medicham use a control skill, but quickly came to his senses and slapped himself hard.
'If someone finds out I tied up Caitlin, won't the people behind her tear me apart?'
'This woman has assets all over the world!'
But soon, Ishida's concern vanished like smoke.
Because... Medicham was also nailed to the wall.
In this state, Caitlin was like a powder keg. Whoever provoked her, she would explode on.
After being attacked by Medicham, Caitlin's attention shifted from Ishida to Medicham.
Her snowy lotus-like arms slipped out from her wide robe sleeves, and Medicham's body was immediately enveloped in psychic power, uncontrollably levitating in mid-air.
If thrown down again, even a level 39 Pokémon like Medicham would suffer serious damage.
Just as Ishida was worrying to the extreme and wanted to release his other Pokémon, a cold wind suddenly blew past. Gardevoir floated into the air, hovering face-to-face with Caitlin.
A flash of red light passed through her pupils, and that red light easily resonated with the psychic energy around Caitlin, stabilizing Caitlin's state.
A few minutes later, the red light in Caitlin's eyes completely disappeared, and her clarity returned. She landed on the ground in high heels.
She looked at Gardevoir with surprise, her gaze full of astonishment.
Just now, her mind had fallen into chaos.
Normally, in this state, she would recognize no one. Only after all her psychic power was exhausted would she stop.
But Gardevoir had easily synchronized with her mentally and pulled her back from her chaotic state.
'What kind of divine talent was this?'
"Cough cough~"
Seeing his Gardevoir being stared at intently by Caitlin, Axel instantly appeared between Gardevoir and Caitlin, interrupting her thoughts.
"We've fought already, so let's not meet again in the future."
"Huh?", Caitlin blinked. This man had clearly been staring at her earlier today when they first met, even teasing her with flirtatious words.
But now, after just one battle, he coldly and ruthlessly said not to meet again.
Colder than a heartless breakup.
Watching Axel's departing back, Caitlin angrily bit her small snow-white teeth.
Even if she couldn't have Gardevoir, she must at least become Gardevoir's good friend.
Worst case, she could just spend money on it.
"Chairman Ishida, do you know which university he'll be attending?"
———
After picking up the little loli, Axel cheerfully used the money he had just earned to buy training materials and returned home hugging the Duraludon.
After defeating Caitlin just now, he confirmed a long-held suspicion.
Story characters would definitely drop tags.
Caitlin had dropped an tag for Axel called [Psychic One].
Under the effect of this tag, he could also control psychic power like Caitlin and Sabrina.
The only drawback was that the tag level was very low, only green quality.
'But it's still pretty good. After all, it's an tag that lets me wield supernatural power. A lower level is normal.'
He used all his useless tags to level it up, quickly upgrading the [Psychic One] tag to purple quality.
[Psychic One (Purple): After obtaining this level of psychic power, you've successfully left the category of fragile ordinary humans. Your psychic power can easily lift objects weighing thousands of pounds.]
Looking at the effect of the tag, Axel nodded in satisfaction. His gaze swept around the room and finally landed on the little Duraludon.
This little guy had relatively low combat power and a tough body, perfect for beginners to practice psychic powers on.
"Little guy, don't be afraid."
Duraludon instinctively took half a step back, its small claws warily grabbing the edge of the table.
The next moment, a red light appeared in Axel's eyes out of nowhere.
Duraludon's body immediately stiffened.
'Why does this scene feel so familiar?'
Before Duraludon could react further, its body uncontrollably levitated, and with a "bang," it crashed into the ceiling.
"Sorry, sorry! Still not very skilled yet!"
Axel quickly released his psychic control over Duraludon. The little guy fell to the ground with a plop, looking at Axel with grievance.
Although it didn't hurt, it was really scary.
"Dura~"
The little guy let out a pitiful cry, its gaze landing on the high-energy minerals Axel had just bought, looking extremely wronged.
Only then did Axel remember, the little guy hadn't eaten anything since being caught this morning.
"Alright, alright, I'll make something delicious to make it up to you," Axel patted Duraludon's little head and took the minerals into the kitchen.
At the same time, he released Pheromosa and Gardevoir.
Under Pheromosa's stomping skill, the high-energy minerals were easily crushed into powder. Axel mixed them with other seasonings and made them into meat pies.
The real "rock pies."
He used other ingredients to make some soufflés and donuts for Gardevoir and Pheromosa, then sat to the side, quietly waiting for the three Pokémon to finish eating.
No choice… although he inherited Brock's cooking skills, he didn't inherit Brock's diligence.
Let the Pokémon eat these special meals. As for himself, mooching off the little loli's house was much simpler.
After all, he didn't need to level up.
During the meal, Gardevoir kept tilting her head as if thinking about something.
Axel leaned over to Gardevoir, "What are you thinking?"
Gardevoir hesitated for a moment, ["This donut is delicious."]
Axel: "..."
'Come on now, you're clearly distracted just now!'
After a while, Gardevoir suddenly spoke.
["Master... do you... have psychic powers now?"]
"No."
["But... I just used your psychic power to transmit that sentence."]
Axel: "..."
'Then why even ask?'
This time he didn't deny it.
After all, he hadn't planned to hide it from Gardevoir. He just wanted to surprise the little guy once he got the hang of it.
Psychic-type Pokémon should really like having a psychic-powered master, right?
"How did you find out?"
["There's a window... in the Poké Ball..."]
["And... Master, your training method is wrong..."
Axel's eyes lit up.
With a senior like Gardevoir here, why was he fumbling around by himself just now?
"So how should I train?"
["Confrontation!"]
As soon as Gardevoir's words fell, Axel immediately felt his mind wrapped in a gentle psychic power.
"Ugh~", Axel couldn't help but let out a low, comfortable groan. Gardevoir's face also turned slightly red, and soft moans escaped her lips.
What they were doing now was extremely private.
For a species like Gardevoir, this kind of mental fusion was even more stimulating than physical sensation.
["Master... be gentle~"]
