'Fight?'
Hearing the words of the Glastrier, Mewtwo almost failed to hold the spoon in its hand, nearly dropping it to the ground.
Having followed Axel for so long and watched so many animated shows, Mewtwo felt that now it had some insight.
But looking at things now... it still couldn't compare with these naturally gifted types.
Mewtwo could clearly feel the divine vocation existing on the opponent's body, and that divine vocation was quite special.
And Glastrier said it came to fight.
'Are you really this competitive?'
["You want... to fight what?"]
Hearing Mewtwo's counter-question, the Glastrier's eyes lit up.
'This is promising!'
["Do anything... teach skills, help ram people, riding service..."]
["As long as I can earn a hundred million, I can do anything!"]
Axel's mouth twitched. He felt this guy was acting a bit off.
'As a divine beast, why be so obsessed with money?'
Moreover, this guy was completely different from what the system's Pokédex described, totally lacking the expected violent temperament.
His eyes were full of pure foolishness and a thirst for money.
Maybe it had some unspeakable difficulties?
Thinking this way, Axel patted the Glastrier's head, "Why do you want to make money?"
"For you divine beasts, it's hard to enhance your strength with training materials, right?"
"Neighhh~"
The Glastrier cleared its throat, stood in front of Axel, and earnestly began to recount its experiences.
A few minutes later, Axel and Mewtwo's expressions turned odd.
Hard to imagine this guy actually believed such a shallow lie.
This didn't exactly mean the Glastrier had low intelligence. After all, aside from those divine beasts with brains full of destruction, no divine beast was truly stupid.
The reason the Glastrier was like this could only be explained by its deep longing for its master.
At the same time, Axel also understood why Masked Man had his eyes on the Glastrier.
Not because he was an Ice-type, but because Glastrier had someone it really wanted to see.
If it hadn't been Axel who encountered the Glastrier first, with just a bit of guidance from Masked Man, it was hard to imagine what kind of disaster this guy would have stirred up in Johto.
Thinking this, Axel walked two steps closer to the Glastrier, organizing his words, "All the information you saw was sent by scammers. They just want to make money."
"After people die, they can't come back to life. Only Celebi can bring people to visit their deceased masters."
"But Celebi is an extremely pure Pokémon. It won't help anyone who has desire."
"Even if you find Celebi, it still won't help you."
Hearing Axel's words, the Glastrier's big head drooped down.
As a divine beast, it knew this race indeed wouldn't help those with desires.
"Unless..."
Hearing the words "unless," the Glastrier lifted its drooping head immediately.
"Unless you encounter Celebi while saving some disaster. Then maybe Celebi will help you fulfill your wish."
What Axel said wasn't false. In a special episode, when Kyogre and Groudon battled, they nearly destroyed the Hoenn region.
Steven, to prevent their destructive power from spreading to the mainland, forcibly controlled the three Regi to block their battle aftermath.
In the end, he died.
Norman also went to the Sky Pillar, forcefully controlled Rayquaza to calm the battle between Groudon and Kyogre.
He too, ultimately died.
That time, Celebi first displayed its ability to save people, using the power of time to revive them.
Hearing Axel's words, the Glastrier's fighting spirit suddenly rose.
'Save the world?'
'It really seems possible!'
Although it didn't know where to save the world, the Glastrier had a feeling.
As long as it followed Axel, this just trainer full of justice, eventually there would be a chance to save the world.
Thinking this, the Glastrier stomped the ground a few times, then quickly rushed back into the cave.
It had to pick up its baggage, follow this boy out to travel again.
Watching the figure of the Glastrier running away, Axel sighed lightly and waved to Mewtwo, "Let's go, let's go back to the dorm to rest a bit."
Mewtwo put away the spoon, tilted its head to look at Axel, ["Not going to capture the Glastrier?"]
Axel waved his hand and jumped back onto the Avulgg, "No, it ran away so fast, and it has a master it always thinks about. Forcibly capturing it is meaningless."
"At that time, even though Gardevoir and your strength will increase, for the Glastrier that would be a kind of pain."
Hearing Axel's words, Mewtwo grinned.
'As expected of master, this is the trainer I follow.'
["Don't worry, Master... even without the Glastrier... Gardevoir can still become stronger!"]
"I know!", Axel and Mewtwo looked at each other and smiled, walking away through the wind and snow toward the distance...
———
A few minutes later.
The Glastrier appeared again at the place where it had just separated from Axel, carrying a stick in its mouth with baggage tied to both ends, looking confused.
'What's going on, why did that guy leave without taking me?'
'Without you, how am I supposed to save the world?'
Also, another important point.
For divine beasts, if they leave a specific location, just maintaining their daily energy consumption is a huge expense.
Otherwise, the Glastrier wouldn't only go to visit its master once every dozen years.
Thinking this, the Glastrier grew more and more panicked.
'Damn, this bit of money I have isn't enough to save the world!'
'It wasn't easy to run into a trainer who is both just and rich, and he ran off?'
'What's going on?'
Lowering its head and thinking for a long time, the Glastrier kept recalling every detail of its encounter with Axel just now.
It became more and more certain that Axel wanted to capture it.
Also more and more certain that Axel was someone who treated Pokémon very well.
In that case... the Glastrier quickly grasped the key point.
Axel didn't not want to capture it. He just wanted to test it.
Once it figured out the key, the Glastrier's eyes became filled with fighting spirit.
'Damn it, usually it's me, the Glastrier, testing others. Today it's your turn to test me, huh?'
'No problem. Once I show you my strength, I'll definitely give you a good test in return!'
