Pokémon: Gardevoir Harem with Tag System

Axel obtained the proof of participation, had a meal with the little loli, and then directly headed to the laboratory where the little loli was staying.

Just now, Axel planned to borrow Smoliv from the little loli to use in this Baby Cup.

His main force was too terrifying. Aside from Nihilego, pulling out any one of them randomly would easily get him scolded for bullying the weak.

———

As the best university in the Central Province, Central University covered a vast area.

Axel searched for quite a while before finding the location of the laboratory.

Just as he was about to push open the door, he suddenly heard the cries of a Slowpoke, followed by a series of chaotic footsteps.

"Slowpoke, don't run, we've already subdued Garganacl!"

"Dumb—"

Slowpoke was on all fours, its little pink legs scrambling even faster than a rabbit's, its tail tightly tucked under its belly, afraid it would be turned into some delicious dish.

It was just five meters away from crashing into Axel, who had just opened the door.

Several scholars in lab coats quickly reminded him, "Young one, run quickly, this Slowpoke is not the same, it'll knock you out!"

Axel nodded and directly reached out both hands toward the rapidly moving Slowpoke.

"No! It'll break your arms!"

"It's fine," Axel grinned and effortlessly stopped the Slowpoke, lifting it by the scruff of its neck.

The researchers: "???"

'Caught a Pokémon with bare hands?'

And it was even a Pokémon that carried the result of their experiment.

These scholars who had studied Pokémon all their lives suddenly felt they had lived in vain.

In front of Axel's physique, their knowledge felt like mere scrap metal.

Greatly shocked, yet completely unable to comprehend.

The little loli pushed through the dazed crowd and excitedly ran to Axel's side.

"Axel, you came just in time! Quick, have Gardevoir check what's going on."

"Slowpoke has been chased and beaten by Garganacl for several days now. We really can't figure out why."

"Alright, I'll help you take a look."

Axel followed the little loli into the research institute.

This building looked small from the outside, but once inside, it was another world entirely.

Inside were many Slowpokes, Shuckle, Torkoal-type Pokémon.

Besides them, Axel even saw a Gimmighoul hiding in a treasure chest.

Axel set down the Slowpoke and rubbed the little loli's head.

"What project are you guys researching? Why are they all low-speed Pokémon?"

"We're researching how to command quickly," the little loli said without hesitation.

"Ever since you took me to Emberpine's Pokémon Center last time, I saw that Central University had a project on rapid command, so I casually started researching it. Who would've thought it would end up making such great progress."

"Pokémon being slow to act has two reasons, one is slow movement, the other is a slow brain."

"Take Slowpoke, for example. They're slow not because of slow motion, but because their brain can't keep up."

"Through scientific methods, it's totally possible to link the trainer and Pokémon's consciousness to a certain extent, solving the issue of slow brain responses."

"Emmm... like that brain-machine interface that Devon Corporation proposed not long ago, directly commanding Pokémon through thought."

"This way, the trainer saves the time needed to speak, and the Pokémon also saves the time needed to react."

'That impressive?'

Axel couldn't help but be a bit surprised. He knew the little loli had a purple tag, but didn't expect her to do something this significant with such a mediocre trait.

In the world of Pokémon, command speed and mental speed could greatly influence a trainer's strength.

Different from joint moves, as long as the trainer and the Pokémon react quickly enough, they can even make up for the Pokémon's slow striking speed.

This was shown vividly in the battle between Giovanni and Red.

If the little loli truly manages to produce results, the overall level of trainers in this world might see a significant improvement.

"So where's your teacher? Why isn't he trying to solve the issue between Garganacl and Slowpoke?"

"Such an important project can't be delayed because of a few Pokémon, right?"

Hearing this, the little loli unusually became bashful.

"I'm the senior researcher here~"

"Huh?", Axel opened his mouth wide. As a high schooler who had received nine years of compulsory education, he knew very well what a senior researcher meant.

As long as the project succeeded, that's equivalent to being a Pokémon Professor, rare as a giant panda.

By then, whether in money or status, they'd almost be on par with a regional champion.

No wonder the little loli's lab could even get hold of rare Pokémon like Gimmighoul.

'So the little loli is actually a hidden gem?'

"Stop 'huh'-ing, help me already!", The little loli spoke sharply, though the smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.

So what if he had a lot of rich women around?

This little sister was his childhood friend, and a super hidden gem too.

'Advantages? Obviously, I have them.'

———

Seeing Slowpoke appear, Garganacl, which had just calmed down, once again entered roaring mode, madly trying to block Slowpoke's way.

"Garganacl, calm down first."

"GARG!"

Garganacl angrily stared at the Pokémon standing in front of Slowpoke and let out a furious roar.

"Are you sure you can't talk it out?"

Garganacl punched the ground in front of Axel and roared again.

Axel: "..."

"Gyarados!"

One minute later, Garganacl's angry eyes became incomparably clear.

Its two huge palms rested on its knees, obedient like a kid who just started kindergarten.

"So now can you tell me why you were chasing Slowpoke around?"

Garganacl nodded wildly and began to explain its reason. Gardevoir was also summoned by Axel to act as translator.

A few minutes later, Axel's gaze toward Slowpoke completely changed.

Who said this thing was dumb?

This was obviously a pervert.

The salt from Garganacl had a strong healing effect for Pokémon, so many Pokémon liked to gather around Garganacl.

As it happened, this Garganacl had a child, and Slowpoke kept going over to lick the kid.

After understanding the whole story, Axel rubbed Slowpoke's head hard and turned to the little loli.

"Just in time, I need to participate in a competition soon. Let me borrow Garganacl for a few days. I guarantee that during that time, Slowpoke won't dare to bully Garganacl again."

The little loli turned her head to look at Garganacl.

Garganacl nodded furiously.

With that Slowpoke as a neighbor, it would very much like its child to have self-defense ability.

Seeing Garganacl's reaction, Axel nodded with satisfaction.

'Three Baby Cup Pokémon, secured.'
