The first thing that Axel needed to do was improve the ranks of his Pokémon and those 5 Primeapes. As per Gorn, the road ahead was dangerous, and they needed a team of king rank Pokemon to reach that place safely.
If the time dilation existed, Axel would have loved to train his young Pokemon in this realm and then go to the main world at a later date. This would close the gap between his main Pokemon and his young Pokemon. However, he was unsure about time dilation.
Still, he had to train his Pokemon if he wanted to meet with Xerneas.
"Hmm, is there a way to know about the time dilation?"
As he was talking with Gorn, he asked if Gorn knew any myths or rumors about the Fairy Realm. Of course, these rumors and myths may not be entirely accurate, but Axel wanted to explore this realm on a deeper level.
Gorn told many myths. One that stuck in Axel's mind was about the birth of the universe. As per Gorn, it was said that fairy realms were created at the same time as other realms were created. It was also said that while Arceus created other realms, Xerneas created a fairy realm to shelter Pokemon like them.
"How sure are you about this myth?"
"We have been hearing about this since we were children. It is a story that our parents tell us, and it is not only our tribe, but the whole world also knows about it."
So, there was a big chance that it was true.
"Can you tell me how old is the fairy realm?", asked Axel.
"No, I have no idea about this."
###
"Togekiss, is there a way from which you can tell if this realm is older than our main world?", asked Axel.
That was an odd question to ask, but Togekiss might be the only one able to answer this question. Axel's theory was simple.
If the fairy realm was created at the same time as the main world, and if the fairy realm is older than the main world, then it means that the concept of time dilation existed between the fairy realm and the main world.
'I don't know if I can tell, but these plants carry a lot of history. If I can upgrade my passive move 'Feelings' to another level, then I might be able to communicate with them at some level.', said Togekiss.
That was true. With 'Feelings' and '100 healing seals' there might be a way to know the answer.
'100 healing seals' was quite an interesting passive move. As the name implied, Togekiss had 100 seals that it could use at maximum. So, what could it seal?
Theoretically, it could seal anything, and it was only limited to Togekiss's imagination. Till now, it had been able to use two seals. One of them was used to store fairy-type energy, while the other was used to store pure infinity energy.
Togetic now had the power to use another seal, but its next plan would take some time to unfold.
'What do you want me to do?'
"I want you to sit near plants and trees and use 'Feelings' to grasp what they are talking about."
After giving Togekiss the task, Axel went to talk to his Primeape and those 5 Primeapes.
All of them gathered around and looked at Axel.
Axel looked at the new notification of the system.
---
Ding!
The host has entered a new realm.
Ding!
There are a few changes. The changes are:
1. The time dilation is 1 (main world): 50 (new realm).
2. The host's Pokemon could achieve faster rank growth and move proficiency.
3. Hosts cannot see or control the daycare, land management, and mercenary systems until they reach the main world.
Ding!
The host discovered the name of the realm.
Ding!!
A main quest has been issued.
---
What the hell was happening? He had been painstakingly trying to figure out the time dilation, but the system had already answered his questions. The system also confirmed that his Pokémon would gain strength at a faster rate in this realm.
He was over the moon!!! But before celebrating, he thought to look at the primary mission.
---
Ding!
The main quest has been issued.
Main quest: Reach the Main world.
Difficulty: B
Time: N/A
Rewards: This depends on how quickly the host can reach the main world.
---
The mission was straightforward, and it was something that Axel had to do. So he didn't need to waste time on it.
'1:50. That means 7 days in the main world is equal to a year in the fairy realm. Additionally, my Pokémon would gain strength at a faster rate. This place is a holy grail for training my Pokemon.'
If he had trained himself and his Pokemon for 4 years, only a month would have passed in the main world.
---
Ding!
A sub-quest has been issued.
Sub-quest: Gain knowledge about the new realm.
Time: 6 months.
Rewards: Depends on performance.
---
The mission he had in mind for Primeapes was perfect for it.
"Listen, I need various kinds of minerals. Anything that you see. Just bring me a small sample of each of the mineral rocks that you find, and if you do a good job, I will start training you from tomorrow. Garry will lead you and tell you how to do it. You have 1 day to look for those mineral samples."
All five Primeapes got excited after hearing Axel. All of them began to leave the tribe to search for minerals.
These minerals were for Aron. Aron species line ate rocks and minerals as their food. Supplying a good quality of minerals and rock to Aron in the earlier stage was crucial for its growth.
Different types of minerals possess distinct properties and energies. Additionally, they had other effects on Aron when consumed in larger quantities.
Since Axel and the team are in a new realm where the environment is rich and the energy is denser, Axel felt that he would find a lot of high-quality minerals. But they were not strong enough to search the whole world. So, Axel gave them the mission to get samples of different kinds of minerals around the area.
###
"What is this stadium for?", asked Axel to Gorn.
Gorn was taking Axel on a tour of the tribe. One of the most striking features of the tribe was a big stadium-like structure. The stadium could hold more than 10 times the total number that the tribe can hold, around 2000.
"Oh, this is what makes our tribe special compared to others. Every 2 years, a huge competition is held in this stadium. Pokemon from various different tribes come to compete in this competition. The winner of the competition will have the opportunity to compete in other locations, and the ultimate winner will receive a substantial number of prizes. They might even get a chance to work under God Nedes, the god of truth."
Now, this was new information.
"Who is this God Nedes?"
"God Nedes is one of the god-rank Pokemon of this world. We live in the territory ruled by her."
"How big is her influence, and what is her species?"
"That I do not know. Our tribe is very small, and till now, none of our tribe members have gone to the final competition. So, I have no idea, but I hear that she is powerful and ruthless."
Axe got to know that the competition will happen after a yea,r and only the Pokemon up to 15 years old could participate.
"So, the restriction is based on age, huh? Who is the strongest tribe in this area?"
"There are 2 of them. Blaziken tribe and Mr. Mine tribe. They are powerful, and most of the time, Pokemon from these tribes win. Their most powerful member is mostly at pseudo-king rank."
No wonder that this tribe never won. The most powerful Pokemon at that age in this tribe was at elemental rank.
"Is there a restriction that other Pokemon species from your tribe cannot participate?"
"There is no such restriction. If you want your team to fight, then you can, but you will carry our tribe's name. Even you can fight, if you want, but the age requirements must be fulfilled."
"Hmm… I will think about it."
###
By the end of the day, all 6 Primeapes came to report to Axel. Axel was happy to see their enthusiasm, and they didn't disappoint. They brought different kinds of mineral samples.
"Lay out these minerals here."
After that, he called Aron and told it, "Which do you like the most?"
Aron was happy to see such a diverse range of minerals. Its eyes lit up, and it wanted to eat all of them. It was very hungry right now.
"No, don't eat it right now. Tell me which you want the most?"
Aron went near and started to smell each of them, and also gave a lick to a couple of them.
Finally, it turned towards Axel and pointed to one of the mineral rocks. The rock was slightly green and appeared somewhat transparent. It looked very hard, like a diamond.
"What kind of rock is this?"
'Oh, this is Niodote. This mineral had a exceeding amount of grass type energy. It is quite a waste.'
"Why?"
'Because grass-type Pokemon don't love to eat rocks. Some burn it and meditate near it to get some advantage, but the Pokemon that do it are very rare.'
"So, can we get a good amount of this mineral?"
Togekiss was not starting to get irritated. Why did it have to learn telepathy? Now, it had to translate everything for Axel.
'They say it is not hard to get this mineral, but this mineral is on the territory of Hawlucha. Even though the mineral is useless to them, they might attack us if we cross their territory.'
"Togekiss, set up a team and tell Gorn to mobilize one too. We are going to take all these minerals for ourselves and store it in the tribe."
This type of mineral had the properties of grass-type energy. So, not only do they have steel-type energy from minerals, but also grass-type energy. This was perfect for Aron since its hidden power typing was grass.
"This might be enough for Aron to evolve into Larion.", murmured Axel.
This place was truly magical. In this world, there was no such mineral that had different kinds of energy like Niodote.
###
Gorn didn't have any problem helping Axel. It mobilized a team to mine and carry those minerals to their tribe. The location of the mineral was at the edge of the Hawlucha tribe. So, it became easier to transport minerals.
Surprisingly, the Hawlucha tribe didn't bother with them, and there was no clash between the tribes. Axel was happy with how things were going.
"Aron, you will only eat this mineral and try that meditation that I trained you in."
