After Cynthia proposed to eat together, Axel also did not refuse.
As a child who grew up reading Cynthia's doujinshi, it was hard for him to make the kind of blasphemous act of refusing Cynthia twice in a row.
"Wait a moment for me, my Pokémon haven't had their late-night snack yet."
"By the way, did you bring resources matching your own Pokémon's types? I can make some food for your Pokémon too."
To speed up the training of his Pokémon, Axel basically gave them four meals a day.
However... if he was sealed too long in the morning by Gardevoir and Pheromosa, he would skip the morning meal.
"You're also a breeder?", Cynthia looked at Axel curiously, her tone a bit surprised.
It was hard for her to link such a filthy trainer with being a breeder.
"Just know a little bit," Axel did not boast, smiled lightly, and walked first toward the energy cube preparation room near the training room.
Although it was called a place for making energy cubes, all the kitchen utensils and other tools were fully equipped.
It's just that ordinary breeders used these things to make energy cubes, that's all.
Half an hour later, all the Pokémon food was ready. Axel released all his Pokémon and let them chomp away.
The moment Ho-Oh appeared, Cynthia's gaze toward Axel changed again.
'Another mythical beast, and it's also the legendary beast from Kanto.'
'Didn't they say Aurient didn't have mythical beasts?'
But just today, she saw two on one trainer.
If she could lure Axel to Sinnoh, wouldn't she be less busy in the future?
The more Cynthia thought about it, the more she felt this matter was highly feasible.
Caitlin was clearly pursuing Axel and Gardevoir, and she and Caitlin had a great relationship.
As long as Caitlin secures Axel, then send Caitlin to Sinnoh to be an Elite Four, or even Champion.
When the time comes, with Axel in Sinnoh, how could he not help?
Decision made, she must give her dear bestie the best assist.
After Axel's Pokémon finished eating, they all returned to their Poké Balls.
Even Gardevoir was no exception. She really didn't want to watch Caitlin openly pursue her master.
Cynthia also withdrew her Pokémon, and the three walked out of Ninox University's campus like ordinary students.
"Axel, Caitlin, I heard there's a great 24-hour hot spring hotel near Ninox University. How about we go there for dinner and a soak?", To matchmake Caitlin and Axel, Cynthia dropped a bombshell right away.
"Huh?", Axel instinctively looked at Cynthia and Caitlin, his throat involuntarily dry.
'First meeting and already inviting to bathe together, girls in the Sinnoh region are this bold?'
Speaking of which... having just experienced Cynthia's massive pressure and recalling the recent psychic clash with Caitlin, Axel was actually kind of looking forward to it.
Caitlin blinked too, her already not-so-bright head was showing signs of lagging.
First meeting and Cynthia made this kind of invitation.
'Is my bestie also into Axel?'
'Really... good taste~'
But this was clearly a good thing. When the time comes, Cynthia handles Axel, and she handles Gardevoir.
Winning odds doubled.
"Alright... I'll now... call the butler and have him... buy the hotel..."
"No no," Axel quickly grabbed Caitlin to stop her rich-girl behavior.
"I'll just buy a few group coupons on app, you guys helped Gyarados a lot today, so I'll treat."
Letting a girl pay for his bath?
Axel really couldn't accept such a situation.
Even if he had to mooch off women, it couldn't be so blatant.
The thought had just flashed by when Axel froze for a moment.
When did his mindset change?
Didn't he say he wouldn't mooch off women?
"This mindset is very dangerous. After this week's competition is over, I must quickly bring out the Tycoon Trainer project..."
———
Axel came out in a bathrobe; Cynthia and Caitlin were already inside the hot spring.
As a provincial capital, the hot spring here was far better than in Emberpine City.
Not only were there deep and shallow zones, but also artificial wave machines.
Trays with refreshments and fruits were more stable, staying steady even under wave impact.
The only flaw was the light mist floating above the water, obscuring much of the scenery.
"Hey, Axel, eat some grapes," Seeing Axel come out, Caitlin immediately used her psychic power to wrap herself, brought a few peeled grapes to Axel, and very naturally sat on his lap.
Axel instinctively scooted to the side a bit, looking helplessly at Caitlin.
He really wanted to say to her, 'I didn't slap my thigh today, why are you sitting on my leg?'
But before he could speak, a grape was already in his mouth.
"Here, eat it already?"
Axel: "..."
'Sure enough, normal people and mentally ill ones can't communicate.'
Axel took the grapes from Caitlin's hand, said thank you, and decisively took the fruit tray far away from Caitlin, fearing she'd do something outrageous again.
He'd seen the news. In this kind of situation, women aren't the ones who get charged.
At that moment, the mist in front dissipated a bit, and a head of golden hair entered Axel's vision.
Cynthia used Block, cutting off Axel's escape path.
Seeing Axel's shocked expression, Cynthia instinctively folded her arms, the corners of her mouth revealing an "auntie smile."
'I, Cynthia, am here to assist Caitlin, and you think I'll let you get away?'
'Just become the son-in-law of Sinnoh obediently~'
But at that moment, Cynthia suddenly felt her body become uncontrollable, a familiar psychic power enveloped her and pushed her forward.
The two of them suddenly embraced with no warning.
Axel froze hard, instinctively raising both hands.
"Th-this... what's this about?", Cynthia paused for a moment, looked at the also-smiling Caitlin behind Axel, and suddenly felt her brain not working.
"If I say I slipped, would you believe me?"
"I believe, so could you move away first..."
Cynthia's bouncy thunder bombs were truly massive, bringing enormous pressure.
In just a few seconds of close contact, Axel's Gyarados already had the urge to Gigantamax.
If it really happened here... Cynthia's battle suit probably couldn't withstand Gyarados's charge.
Cynthia also noticed the situation on the field and frantically gave Caitlin meaningful looks.
'Let go of me quickly!'
Caitlin blinked, tilted her head looking at Cynthia, and spun her right index finger on her smooth chin.
'Having this kind of result on the first try is already good, why does it seem like you're not satisfied?'
'If this gets any worse, Pheromosa and Gardevoir might break out of their Poké Balls.'
Thinking this way, Caitlin increased her psychic output again, afraid that if Cynthia broke free, she'd do something terrifying.
Cynthia: "..."
'Damn it, I never should've come to help you with this assist!'
