As soon as Axel finished speaking, a faint red healing light ring emerged from Gardevoir's hand.
The light ring instantly crossed a distance of over ten meters and landed on Misty's body, healing her injuries.
Under the influence of psychic power, Misty let out a soft moan, opened her tightly shut eyes with difficulty, and looked toward Axel's direction.
"Run quickly… don't save me, you'll get caught in it too."
"Starmie, lead it outside the city, lure it out."
Axel grinned, this was just like Misty.
Except when facing Ash, she was full of affection for everyone else.
"Don't worry, it's just a gym leader-level Gyarados."
Axel swept his right hand over his waist and took out the Poké Ball containing Dragonair.
With a flash of white light, the shiny Dragonair appeared directly in the sky.
"Dragonair!"
As soon as Dragonair appeared, it affectionately circled around Gardevoir, rubbing itself hard against Gardevoir's body.
Axel: "..."
'This little girl really is..."
"Dragonair, play with Gardevoir after this is over. Fight first."
Dragonair blinked in confusion, only then realizing that Pheromosa was tangled up with a massive Gyarados.
"Pheromosa, fly into the sky, use Aura Sphere for ranged attacks."
"Dragonair, rush to Gyarados and use Wrap!"
"Dragonair!"
Dragonair nodded vigorously and swiftly rushed to Gyarados' side.
Without hesitation, it bent its body and tightly wrapped around the ferocious beast.
As the offspring of a champion, Axel's Dragonair had an excellent physique and was particularly good at hugging.
Before Gyarados could react, Dragonair's body had tightly coiled around Gyarados, dealing continuous damage.
"ROAR!"
Gyarados, wrapped up by Dragonair, roared madly, a mass of pitch-black violent energy gathering in its mouth.
"Not good, it's Hyper Beam!", Misty's voice was full of worry.
"Starmie, quickly jump near Gyarados' mouth, use Protect."
"No need," Axel interrupted Misty's command.
"You focus on recovering. Healing moves from Pokémon don't help humans recover quickly. Talk less."
"Dragonair, use Thunder Wave!"
Gyarados is 4x weak to Electric, and Thunder Wave was currently the only Electric-type move Axel's Dragonair knew.
Though the move had no damage, it could still have unexpected effects.
"Dragonair~"
Dragonair gently nodded, the gem on its forehead flashed with a crackling arc of electricity.
In the next moment, dozens of static currents shot out from Dragonair, all conducting into Gyarados.
Gyarados shuddered all over, its body baptized by electricity, completely paralyzed.
The half-charged Hyper Beam in its mouth also instantly vanished.
Gyarados was stunned for a second, then let out an even more violent roar.
"Be careful, my Gyarados is really strong, and recently it's entered a berserk state for unknown reasons. It's harder to deal with than before."
Axel nodded. He naturally knew why this Gyarados had gone berserk.
Just the effects of Team Rocket's biological experiments.
But even so, trying to fight Dragonair and Pheromosa, it was still a bit lacking.
"Pheromosa, smash an Aura Sphere into its mouth!"
"Pheromosa!"
Upon receiving Axel's command, Pheromosa didn't hesitate to close in and viciously shoved the Aura Sphere directly into Gyarados' mouth.
The savage look in Gyarados' eyes suddenly showed a trace of clarity.
'Wait, are they really bullying a dragon like this?'
'It's bad enough to gang up on me, but they're throwing moves into my mouth?'
And worst of all, it was paralyzed, otherwise, it would definitely return the favor with a face-to-face Hyper Beam.
After a moment of thought—
Gyarados simply shut its mouth tightly, looking smugly at the nearby Pheromosa.
"Got your head clearer now?", Axel curled his lips.
"Too bad you still don't know why you're being beaten. You're still thinking of resisting at this point."
"Dragonair, use Supersonic!"
"Dragonair~"
A strange sound wave came from Dragonair's mouth, easily entering Gyarados' ears.
The clarity in Gyarados' eyes was quickly replaced by a red glow, falling back into a berserk state.
It was hit by the confusion effect of Supersonic.
"ROAR!"
BOOM!
Another Aura Sphere was shoved into its mouth, waking the confused Gyarados.
"Dragonair, use Supersonic again!"
———
Next to Gyarados, Starmie and Misty were completely dumbfounded.
'This trainer is clearly too strong, so why is he fighting so dirty?'
'He can obviously defeat Gyarados with a frontal assault, can't he?'
A few minutes later, Gyarados collapsed and was recalled into the Poké Ball by Misty.
"Um... thanks," Misty forced herself to thank Axel, but her body honestly stepped five meters away from him.
"That's how you say thanks?"
Misty: "..."
It's not that she was impolite, she just felt unsafe when standing close to Axel.
She had this feeling, this guy was the type who might suddenly pull out a Poison-type Pokémon and slap it on her or something.
"Hehe~", Misty chuckled awkwardly, still braving her fear and walking over to Axel's side.
She bowed in thanks~
The girl's perfect figure left Axel speechless. Even though her chest wasn't that big, from this angle, it still had a certain charm.
Smooth and round, like two Poké Balls.
Her bare back and thighs had some injuries, giving her a kind of imperfect beauty.
"Your shoes look like they fell in the water."
"Huh?", Misty finally realized she was still barefoot on the ground.
After the ruckus from Gyarados, the entire street was full of gravel and stones, it was uncomfortable to walk on.
"Starmie doesn't have hands… could I trouble you to have a Pokémon help me pick them up?"
Axel glanced at Pheromosa with her purple eyes rolling upward, and Gardevoir who stepped back a bit. He felt this task might be a bit much.
"I'll help you."
Axel directly picked Misty up, floated down to the river, rinsed her feet in the water, and helped her put on the wet shoes.
Only then did he set her back down.
After that sequence, Misty felt her whole body burning.
"Um… thanks for saving me. But you don't seem like someone local from Cerulean City?"
"I know all the strong trainers around here, and I don't think there's a Gardevoir trainer among them."
Axel nodded, "I just came over from Mt. Moon. It's my first time in Cerulean City."
"Really!", Hearing that Axel had no acquaintances in Cerulean City, Misty's voice clearly grew excited.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm one of the Gym trainers here, though I'm usually out training."
"If you don't have a place to stay, would you like to spend a night at my house?"
"I'll… express my gratitude."
Axel nodded and didn't refuse Misty's invitation.
He came this time precisely for Cerulean Gym, and Misty's house happened to be right next to it.
There was no reason to refuse.
