It was obvious that Diao Chan's mindset was still stuck in ancient times.
Even after Axel explained the modern system to her, Diao Chan still showed complete understanding toward Axel having other women.
She even curiously asked when he would gather everyone together so they could get to know each other.
Axel: "..."
"How about you take a look at this Pokémon? I just bought it for you today, you should like it."
"This thing works together with Rotom, it can help you understand this world faster."
"Pokémon?", Just like Axel expected, Diao Chan's attention was quickly drawn over.
For most humans in this world, Pokémon were simply irresistible.
Axel let out a sigh of relief and took out the USB drive containing Porygon, waving it in front of Diao Chan and the white Gardevoir.
"Gardevoir, come take a look too. This is a very special Pokémon. It exists as data, so you need to activate it first before it appears."
As he spoke, Axel had Rotom change forms, extending an interface and inserting the USB drive.
Right after that, a Pokémon made of geometric shapes, looking like a red duck, appeared on the screen.
Porygon is a kind of digital Pokémon, often existing inside computers. So even inside Rotom, it could still see Axel and the others.
Using Rotom's screen, Porygon tilted its head and displayed a line of text.
[Excuse me, who among you is my trainer?]
Axel pointed at Diao Chan beside him. Porygon emitted a sci-fi blue light that covered her face.
[Recording facial recognition… From now on, you are my one and only trainer.]
"Alright, please take care of me," Facing a Pokémon, Diao Chan put away her innocent, carefree attitude from when she was with Axel, faintly returning to the demeanor of a former city lord.
Very quickly, Porygon became familiar with Diao Chan and bumped straight into the Poké Ball at her waist.
Seeing this, Axel stood up, "Let's go. You can get familiar with Porygon on the way. I'll take you to eat first."
"Okay, okay!"
———
After returning to the hotel at night, another intense battle was unavoidable.
The two Gardevoir had just met, and after the white Gardevoir had slept for a thousand years, perhaps because of Arceus's blessing, or perhaps because of the power of the Lustrous Orb, not only had her strength not decreased, it had actually increased.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The two Gardevoir had very similar panels, except one specialized in psychic power while the other specialized in fairy power.
As for that Gardevoirite, it was given by Axel.
Besides that, the biggest difference was the tag called Reverse Power.
When Axel first saw this ability, he was very surprised, because this was the second Pokémon he had encountered that could control reverse power.
But after thinking about how she had been in contact with the Lustrous Orb for over a thousand years, it made sense.
["Do we really have to fight?",] The white Gardevoir was clearly a bit reserved, blushing as she poked Diao Chan, who had just walked out of the bathroom, looking a bit sneaky.
"Of course we have to fight. Didn't we agree on this back in Xiapi City?", Diao Chan nodded and had the white Gardevoir sit closer to Axel.
"And Gardevoir said during dinner just now that you two share power and senses."
"Even if you don't participate, if Gardevoir borrows your strength or gets attacked, doesn't that still count as you being in the battle?"
The pink Gardevoir also smiled lightly at the white Gardevoir. Everything was understood without words.
["O-okay!",] The white Gardevoir finally steeled herself, suddenly standing up to face her first battle.
This was destined to be a world-shaking showdown.
Axel stood alone at the center of the battlefield, his aura surging like a tide.
And his opponents were three peerless beauties.
The pure, snow-like white Gardevoir, the mysterious and enchanting pink Gardevoir, and the breathtakingly beautiful Diao Chan.
As if sensing that Axel was about to face all three of them at once, the white Gardevoir made the first move. A faint glow spread across her body as she used Shell Smash.
Although her defenses dropped slightly, her body became extremely agile, and her attacks turned even sharper. Every movement dazzled Axel.
Axel's expression grew serious. He knew this battle wouldn't be easy.
Beside him, his Onix was eager to move, while Axel calmly calculated.
Facing three opponents alone, what strategy should he use?
Tackle was powerful, but it was a single-target move, making it hard to suppress all three at once.
Dragon Breath could hit an area, but using a big move right at the start would be embarrassing, something that might haunt him forever.
After a moment of thought, Axel decisively stepped forward and hugged the white Gardevoir, "Onix, use Tackle!"
When facing multiple opponents, why bother with honor?
"Wuu!"
Just as the white Gardevoir was still using Shell Smash, a cracking sound suddenly came from the light screen.
Onix charged in like a collapsing mountain, its momentum like it could shatter the sky and split the abyss. It smashed through the barrier, its boulder-like head crashing in with overwhelming pressure.
"Ah!", The white Gardevoir had no time to react, her rhythm completely broken by the sudden fierce attack, letting out a startled cry.
"You have to hold on!"
Onix and the white Gardevoir clashed intensely. After several flowing counterattacks, Axel was just about to switch targets, who would've thought the white Gardevoir would suddenly explode with strength, grabbing the dozens-of-meters-long Onix with her bare hands.
["I-if you want to go after Diao Chan and Gardevoir, you'll have to get past me first!"]
Axel blinked, his gaze falling on the white Gardevoir, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Seriously, just a moment ago she was so reluctant, and now she was completely into the fight?
Axel puffed up with confidence, "No problem!"
