Pokémon: Gardevoir Harem with Tag System

After finishing a game, Axel boredly shut down Rotom.

'Battling is truly lonely as snow... Especially games like this where all levels are equal, there's no challenge at all.'

While looking out the window, Axel began thinking when to solo-clear the Viridian Gym.

The scenery of Aurient was very different from Kanto, especially the Petalglen Province where Axel was.

Because the area covered was extremely large, and also a plain originally, aside from places where Pokémon lived, there was also a large area of farmland.

Only after watching for a few minutes, Axel already saw many life-type Trainers bringing Pokémon like Diglett, Mudbray, etc., working in the fields.

There were also some Trainers busy driving away Pokémon like Pidgey, Spearow, so they wouldn't cause large-scale destruction to the crops.

Eating is okay, but don't cast moves directly on the crops.

"You guys in Aurient... have so many Pokémon...", Caitlin also looked out the window, suddenly letting out an emotional sigh.

Axel nodded; the way humans and Pokémon got along in Aurient was indeed very different from other regions.

Due to the vast land and rich resources, many Pokémon chose to live together in human society.

It was exactly because of this that Aurient was able to establish large-scale breeding houses, allowing the younger generation to rapidly develop.

Put this in other regions, and many people would only ever catch Bug-type Pokémon their whole lives.

Soon, the train arrived at the station.

By the time Axel and the others walked out of the high-speed rail carriage, a shuttle bus was already waiting at the station exit.

"Walk out or take the shuttle?", Caitlin tilted her head and looked at Axel.

Axel glanced at the distance to the exit. Walking would be exhausting and not worth riding Ho-Oh or Gyarados.

"Shuttle then, already paid for anyway."

"Mm..."

But soon, Axel regretted this decision.

By the time they got on the bus, several fast-legged college students were already on board.

Due to the direction of travel, most of the people on this train were coming from Emberpine City.

All were young people, and they quickly found a topic everyone was interested in.

"Hey everyone, have you heard about the incident in Emberpine City a few days ago?"

"What incident? Is it about that Gyarados?"

Axel's eyes lit up, and he silently turned on the Rotom phone's recorder.

Gyarados had fought bloodily with two criminals from Unova back then, supposedly gaining a fanbase.

'Next, they are definitely going to praise the Gyarados Trainer for being wise and powerful, right?'

Decided then, if someone says his battling style is too dirty in the future, just play this recording for them.

'I'm a hero, so what if I'm a little dirty?'

The college students kept talking:

"Yeah yeah yeah, that Gyarados Trainer, I heard he beat up two female bandits who looked like they were from Saffron City."

"Wow, that cool?", A little girl's eyes instantly lit up like stars.

"I've been studying in the gym recently, didn't expect our neighboring Emberpine to produce such a big hero."

Axel's lips curled upward, and he casually pulled out the interview news from back then, playing it aloud.

At the same time, he took out paper and pen.

'Little sister, come ask me for an autograph quick.'

'Then go stan me with your girlfriends, and wash me squeaky clean!'

[Today, a Trainer from our city, Axel, battled two bandits from Kanto. With the help of Miss Caitlin, successfully captured...]

"Wait, bro, that news of yours is wrong," A student carrying a fishing rod interrupted Axel's news audio, "The version I heard wasn't like that. Gyarados came in at the last second and then blasted those two bandits to death with a Hydro Pump."

Axel suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

Had clearly asked Officer Jenny not to report the specific battle scene, how do these people know?

"Tch, bro, what you said isn't right either, I heard Gyarados was losing and his trainer personally shot the two female bandits dead."

Axel: "!"

Caitlin bit her finger, looking at Axel in shock.

Axel: "???"

'Don't look at me like that, I'm not God King Tang, I wouldn't get killed by big sister Shenhe.' [T/N: Douluo Dalu and Genshin]

"Ahem, all rumors, I'm the Trainer from Emberpine City."

"Actually, that battle wasn't like what you said at all, the Gyarados Trainer was a very righteous and powerful Trainer."

A girl dressed finely leaned her head forward slightly, "Handsome guy, can you tell more?"

Axel nodded and his gaze fell on the Pikachu in the girl's hand.

The girl instantly understood, obediently placing Pikachu into Axel's arms.

Axel contentedly petted it a few times, "Then I'll tell you guys about that Gyarados Trainer."

"..."

A few minutes later, Axel took a satisfied sip of milk that Caitlin handed over.

"That's basically how it went."

"Aside from defeating Team Rocket from Kanto and overwhelmingly crushing Emberpine City's Gym, that Trainer also has one more strength, he's pretty handsome."

The Pikachu Trainer blinked, "How handsome? Could he be more handsome than you?"

"Emmm...", Axel thought for a moment, "Probably not more handsome than me."

"Why?"

Axel returned Pikachu and leaned toward the edge of the shuttle bus.

"Because... today's me is always a little more handsome than yesterday's me," After speaking, Axel leapt from the vehicle. With a flash of white light, the massive Gyarados appeared beneath him, carrying him up into the sky.

The entire shuttle bus was instantly filled with girls' screams and guys' "what the hell".

Caitlin looked at the supercar key she'd already prepared, eyelashes trembling slightly.

She originally wanted to shock Axel in her rich-lady style, making him fall at the hem of her diamond dress.

'Didn't expect Axel to actually be this handsome. As expected of the man that this young lady has set her sights on.'

———

After soaring into the sky, Axel's lips curved slightly.

Not only had he shaken off Caitlin, he also successfully g̶a̶i̶n̶e̶d̶ harvested a bunch of fans.

From now on, no one should easily say he's dirty, right?

Just then, a howling gust of wind suddenly came from the sky.

A Trainer riding on a Crobat quickly approached; Crobat's eyes still held a pitch-black glow.

"Crobat opener, trying to catch me?"

Axel was a little puzzled and subconsciously patted Gyarados' forehead.

"Use Thunder Wave, then Whirlpool lock, followed by Scald and status!"

"ROAR!"

Gyarados roared loudly, the three antennae on its head surging with faint electric waves.

The water in its mouth rapidly heated, then it spat out a large mass of swirling heated water at Crobat.

The Crobat Trainer didn't have time to react and felt a sudden numbness all over.

By the time he came to his senses, Crobat had already fallen into burn status, and the two of them were trapped in the sky, completely unable to move.

"Kid, I was just coming over to collect a high-altitude flight fee, no need to ruin your future over twenty bucks at such a young age!m," From within the shuttle bus came the driver uncle's furious roar.

"Damn, I was just thinking this guy was pretty cool, didn't expect he was trying to fare-evade. What a zero-frame opener."

"Hahahaha, I knew he was faking it. What kind of macho Trainer uses three status moves in a row?"

"Confirmed, this guy is from the underworld!"

Hearing the chatter from inside the shuttle bus, Axel was completely stunned.

Suspiciously looked at the Crobat toll collector.

'Just got a bit of good reputation, and this, what the hell is this doing to me again?'
