Pokémon: Gardevoir Harem with Tag System

The match began.

Because the rules had already been explained uniformly, the referee did not elaborate further and simply waved the small flag in his hand.

Senior Marill's clear eyes instantly became determined.

Finally encountering a Dragon-type trainer, she must fight a good match.

Two streaks of white light flashed by, and before the Pokémon even appeared, Senior Marill couldn't wait to issue commands.

Axel, on the other hand, deliberately delayed a bit.

"Marill, use Play Rough!"

"Lu~lu!"

The moment it materialized, Marill immediately nodded, lowered its head, and ran toward the white light not far away.

Its footsteps were brisk, its body radiating a faint pink energy, especially the little ball-like tail, where the pink energy almost condensed into substance.

Being a Huge Power-ability Marill, as long as the opponent's Dragonair appeared, it could instantly inflict tons of damage on Dragonair.

Moreover, it also had a chance to reduce the opponent's attack, a veritable dragon slayer.

"Go, Marill!", The girl opposite Axel waved her white fists hard, cheering on her Pokémon.

She also knew her Marill couldn't defeat Extreme-Speed Dragonair, but at the very least, she had to leave a deep impression on her junior.

But the next moment, the girl's determined gaze turned dazed.

What did she see?

The opponent's Pokémon wasn't Dragonair at all, but a beautiful creature she had never seen before, resembling a jellyfish.

"Senior, although pre-reading is important, over-predicting often leads to losing the match," Axel grinned. He had intentionally released his Pokémon a moment later just to make the opponent send out Marill first.

Although her clothes were pretty, in Axel's eyes, they were merely tools to expose weaknesses.

"Nihilego, use Bind!"

"Ooo~ie!"

Nihilego's body swayed, gently floated in front of Marill, and its gelatinous body easily bound Marill.

The Play Rough skill hit Nihilego, and although it lowered Nihilego's physical attack by one level, it didn't cause any substantial effect.

Nihilego was originally a special attacker and could even double-resist Fairy-type attacks.

Just the gentle swaying of its dress hem almost completely neutralized Marill's attack.

"Nihilego, use Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock, Light Screen, Reflect!"

Upon hearing Axel's series of commands, Senior Marill was utterly stunned.

Was she being treated like a bot?

Did he really think her Marill wouldn't fight back.

"Marill, use Aqua Tail to break free from the opponent's attack!"

"..."

No response. Marill, under Nihilego's restraint, didn't react at all.

Axel grinned. As an Ultra Beast, Nihilego's power wasn't only reflected in its move pool and base stats.

It also had the ability to "control."

In Ultra Sun and Moon, a Nihilego once controlled Lillie and Lusamine, almost causing a great disaster.

Under Nihilego's influence, the level-suppressed Marill on the opponent's side couldn't possibly break free, and could only watch helplessly as Nihilego set up screens and hazards.

Senior Marill looked at the scene in disbelief, blinking her eyes repeatedly, opening her mouth several times, yet unable to say a word.

What about the promised sunshine?

What about the promised justice?

'Just now you were afraid a badge might fall on the flowers and plants, yet facing me, a beautiful delicate flower, you show no mercy at all.'

Sensing the vague thoughts of the girl opposite, Axel hesitated for a moment and decisively said, "As a trainer, Senior must also hope for me to go all out in battle, right?"

The trainer of Marill's eyes instantly lit up.

'So he's not being dirty. He just wants to fight me in his best state.'

'Isn't this also a form of respect for me?'

Thinking this, the Marill trainer nodded hard.

"Junior, I'll support you!"

"Alright, then I'll go all out," Axel waved his arm, and the Poké Ball emitted a white light, taking back Nihilego who had tightly restrained Marill.

"Garganacl, it's your turn!"

"Use Salt Cure on Marill."

"GARRR!"

Garganacl flung a streak of blue crystal light at Marill, who had not yet recovered from Nihilego's control and had no ability to dodge, and her body was immediately covered in a large layer of salt grains.

"Lulu~", Marill let out a painful cry, looking at her trainer with pleading eyes.

'It hurts... I want to go home...'

Seeing Axel's actions, Marill's trainer clenched both fists so hard that veins popped.

'This is what you call going all out?'

"Referee, I forfeit!"

———

Because there were many participants, two rounds of matches were arranged for the first day.

This time, Axel's opponent was a bespectacled young man.

"Hello, senior," Axel greeted as usual.

The bespectacled youth nodded likewise, excitedly rubbing his hands and looking expectantly at Axel.

He was a sophomore who originally just wanted to gain experience this time and hadn't planned to place high.

But he never dreamed that he would consecutively face opponents whom he countered hard.

As a Ground-type trainer, his first match was against Pikachu, Plusle, and Minun.

After watching Axel's battle videos, he thought he had excellent luck.

But after checking, he made a new discovery.

That mysterious Pokémon of Axel's was actually Rock + Poison type, four times weak to Ground.

Coincidentally, his main force was a Swinub, which also had some restraint against Dragonair.

The bespectacled trainer became impatient with excitement.

"Referee, can we start now?"

The referee on the side nodded, "You may."

The bespectacled trainer raised his Poké Ball high, lightly tapped it against the tip of his nose, and threw it without hesitation.

"In that case, Swinub, it's you!"

Axel: "..."

'Are university students nowadays all this straightforward?'

Others try every way to hide their intentions, afraid of others knowing their next move.

But the two he encountered just didn't care.

One wore a skirt with her Pokémon as the theme, and the other was even more direct, calling out the name.

'Since that's the case, then let it be Smoliv.'

[T/N: I have midsems this week so there will be 1 Chapter/Day instead of 2 till next Monday, after that we will be back to 2 Chapters/Day. Hope you all understand, have a great day~]
