While Aunt Stacy was cooking, Axel took the opportunity to tie the noisy little loli to the bed, and recalled Ralts back into the Poké Ball.
He turned and sat down at the desk.
He had a premonition that once he broke through the trial secret realm that appeared today, he would definitely gain a huge strength improvement.
This was a secret realm left behind by Rayquaza.
Axel already had a preliminary idea for subduing the Aerodactyl.
In his view, clearing the secret realm was more like clearing a game level, much simpler than a skirmish.
As long as he used Ice-type or Electric-type skills to counter it, and combined them with some auxiliary-type weakening skills, he should be able to take down the Aerodactyl easily.
The only thing that needed to be considered was the issue of funds.
Axel did not hide from the little loli and directly logged into the bank's website to check the balance left by his parents.
Soon, the computer screen displayed the number 1.2 million Alliance coins.
"You actually have 1.2 million?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Axel's eyes, and he relaxed slightly.
This amount of money was much more than he had imagined.
The prices of skill machines were not uniform, but except for those especially powerful skills, the prices of other single-use skill machines were usually in the range of 100,000 to 500,000.
In other words, he could at least buy Ralts a control skill and an attack skill that countered Aerodactyl.
The remaining money could be used to buy Fairy Gems or Psychic Gems to boost Ralts's level in a short period of time.
According to what Officer Jenny said, within this month he could freely challenge any newly appeared trial secret realms.
As for this Aerodactyl...
Axel's gaze landed on Ralts's Poké Ball.
With this money in hand, he felt the little one should be able to take down Aerodactyl within a week without much problem.
Since it's called a dragon, regardless of whether it's actually Dragon-type or not, it must kneel beneath the power of the Fairy-type.
Just as Axel breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw the little loli's head appear on his thigh, her eyes sparkling.
"Axel, you actually have so much money, but you lied to me and said you were poor when we took the cab today."
"I don't care, you have to buy me a cute little dress to atone for your sins."
Axel: "..."
'This little loli is too tenacious, isn't she? She's been tied up like a Caterpie and can still crawl over to cause trouble?'
'Besides… this money isn't even enough for my needs right now, you little lady.'
Axel decisively pressed down the little loli's head, physically interrupting her casting.
But right after doing that, Axel realized that the current posture between the two of them was a bit off.
When he tried to lift the little loli's head up, he already felt a slight pain.
"Hiss~ You actually bit me!"
'My god, it's summer! That hurts!'
Axel took a deep breath and subconsciously pushed the little loli's head back down again.
"Wuu~ I don't care. If you don't promise to buy me a dress, today I'll bit your thing off!"
The little loli looked at Axel smugly from the corner of her eyes. Although she was precocious, she was still a little girl who had never been in love, and she obviously underestimated the impact this expression had on a man.
Axel was powerless... and even more powerless...
"Wuu~! Wuuu!"
More than ten minutes later, Axel used all his strength and finally managed to pull Eva, who was stuck to him, off, then guiltily looked at the computer screen.
The little loli sat angrily next to Axel, arms crossed, puffing up her already snug shirt to look even more ample, her eyes full of murderous intent.
"Stinky Axel, you tied me up and bullied me, were you just waiting for me to turn eighteen?"
Axel's mouth twitched, and he tried to explain, "I was just afraid you'd interrupt my thoughts, who knew..."
"I don't care, I'm going to tell my mom now and see how she beats you to death!"
"No no no~", Axel hurriedly grabbed the little loli's arm and held up one finger.
"One dress, I promise, okay?"
"Nope!"
"Three?", Axel kept raising the bid.
The little loli showed a sly smile, as if she hadn't just been angry, and plopped back onto the bed.
"Then I get to choose the links, one from online shopping, and then you take me out shopping for one."
"What about the third one?"
The little loli lifted her elegant and slender neck, speaking mischievously, "Of course, you pick it for me yourself. But it only counts if Miss says you passed."
Faced with the little loli's unreasonable demands, Axel could only reluctantly agree.
After all, he had also accidentally overstepped just now.
Besides, since he already agreed to buy the little loli dresses, he couldn't favor one over another. Pheromosa and little Ralts also needed to be arranged.
At worst, let the little loli pick first. As long as she found one she liked, it was fine.
"Let me see the styles of your dresses. I'll buy according to your style later."
Axel got up from the chair, walked around the little loli who was kicking her feet, and headed to the wardrobe.
"Can I check the wardrobe?"
"Yes!"
Axel opened the wardrobe door, and a pile of familiar clothes appeared before him.
He sorted through the clothes one by one, combining them with the little loli's usual clothing style, intending to pick one that could form a sister-style set with Ralts.
That way they'd look more eye-catching when going out.
Just as he was thinking carefully, he suddenly saw a black dress in the wardrobe that was completely different from the little loli's style.
That black dress was full of mature womanly charm, and just seeing it made one imagine how alluring it would be on someone.
What was more important was that this dress had a red "R" embroidered on it.
"Eva, where did this dress come from?"
"My mom's!"
The thoughtful look on Axel's face instantly disappeared, replaced by an extremely complicated expression.
If he remembered correctly, this red "R" was the symbol of Team Rocket.
This was practically the darkest villain organization in the Pokémon world. Other villain groups might also try to destroy the world, but their reasons were often quite noble.
Like believing in the earth, the ocean, or saying they wanted Pokémon to be free from human control.
But Team Rocket was different. They simply wanted to rule the world...
Thinking of how Aunt Stacy was always very cautious, not even daring to use a coded lock on the door, Axel couldn't help but frown.
He wasn't afraid that Uncle and Aunt Stacy were members of Team Rocket. After all, their affection toward him over the years was definitely not fake.
What Axel was afraid of was that the two of them had escaped from Team Rocket and were being hunted.
If that was the case, then he needed to improve his strength quickly.
Otherwise, once Team Rocket found Uncle and Aunt Stacy's location, their current peaceful life would definitely be broken, and that was something Axel couldn't accept.
"Axel, are you done looking? Why did you suddenly stop? Are you secretly looking at my underwear?"
"I did not!", Axel replied righteously. After all, he had just seen it on her body yesterday, so why would he be interested in what was hanging in the closet now?
