After hearing the little loli's words, Axel decisively multitasked.
On one hand, he turned down the volume on his phone, continued chatting with the little loli, and took the opportunity to admire the artwork.
On the other hand, he released his psychic power to listen in on the conversation at the Rocket Team's table behind him.
"Second Uncle, let's make a move. That Wartortle looks pretty good to catch."
"And that guy in front's Gardevoir is super pretty too, definitely worth a lot of money!"
"Move your sister," The person called Second Uncle smacked his companion hard.
"Have you gone dumb from staying in Team Rocket?"
"We're all low-level members. We might not even be able to beat that Wartortle, and you want to take on a Gardevoir?"
"Sit your butt down and eat your noodles. Catching Pokémon can wait until Lord Apollo comes tomorrow!"
"And flip that shirt with the organization's symbol inside out. You really think nobody recognizes Team Rocket?"
After hearing their conversation, Axel blinked.
'Team Rocket's Apollo is coming to Mt. Moon too?'
Axel knew a bit about this man.
He's the one in Team Rocket who most resembles Giovanni.
Giovanni has ideals, can take a loss, and is also super decisive when doing bad things.
Apollo, on the other hand, looks like a gentleman on the surface but is rotten to the core.
Among the three executives, the worst is Apollo, the cruelest is Lance, and the weakest is Ariana.
Just as Axel was hesitating whether to inform Daisy about this, Gardevoir's eyes suddenly lit up.
She remembered the details about Mt. Moon.
In her past life, when she came to Mt. Moon, she happened to run into Kanto's Team Rocket causing trouble.
And the one leading them was one of the three Rocket executives—
Apollo.
In that battle, Apollo brought a Gym Leader-level Houndoom and a bunch of Rocket members who used special containers to steal the moon power triggered by the Clefairies.
Apparently, it was to store it for biological experiments to study multi-type Pokémon.
In that battle, nearly half of the trainers on Mt. Moon died.
In the end, it was Daisy who contacted Professor Oak in time, and had that Dragonite come and sweep through Team Rocket, barely allowing the Clefairies to complete the ceremony.
And that Dragonite, because it saved the ceremony on Mt. Moon, received the moon's blessing.
It gained power that was fearless of Fairy-types.
Gardevoir compared her own trainer's current combat power.
This time, it seemed this opportunity might fall into her trainer's hands.
Just right too, her trainer had just tamed a little pink Dragonair, super cute, so let it absorb the moonlight.
Besides that, if the plan went well, they could probably catch a few Team Rocket executives while they were at it.
The more Gardevoir thought, the more excited she became.
["Master... I'm heading out to buy some fried skewers... want any?"]
"With all this food, why go buy fried skewers?"
["Oh... Master's eating? Then I'll go buy for you..."]
A nearly uncontrollable gleam of killing intent flashed in Gardevoir's eyes. A spatial ripple flashed by, and she and the two Team Rocket members behind her all disappeared.
Axel: "???"
'You go buy your food, fine, but why take the two Rocket guys with you?'
Axel hurriedly took out Mewtwo's Poké Ball and quietly released it.
"Mewtwo, please go protect Gardevoir. She just left with some Rocket guys."
["Okay!"], A majestic voice echoed.
Before Mewtwo fully emerged from the Poké Ball, it already used Teleport to pursue Gardevoir's direction.
The two Rocket members hadn't reacted yet when they suddenly felt a burst of red light explode in their chests.
The psychic force slammed into them like a giant hammer, directly making both of them vomit blood.
"Second Uncle" was briefly stunned and immediately tried to release his own Poké Ball.
Gardevoir's lips curled with mockery, and a red gleam appeared in her eyes again.
Before "Second Uncle" could react, he was already falling down the mountain.
The other Rocket member was completely dazed.
If he wasn't mistaken, he looked like he'd run into a villain?
But if he remembered correctly, weren't they the villains?
Very confused...
Mewtwo, who had just caught up, was also stunned, why did things escalate to murder so fast?
["Gardevoir... what's going on?"]
Gardevoir's cold voice rang out in Mewtwo and the surviving man's minds:
["Team Rocket... deserves to die!"]
'Oh, turns out it's Team Rocket. No wonder...'
Just as Mewtwo was halfway through processing things in his head, something suddenly felt off.
'Even if they're Team Rocket, you can't just kill them directly, right?'
["Gardevoir, calm down."]
["Can't calm down."]
["What if there are good people in Team Rocket? They also have the right to pursue the meaning of life."]
Gardevoir's face was icy, ["Their meaning is to die by my hand."]
Mewtwo: "???"
'You're the real emotionless killer here, aren't you?'
'Axel, Axel, hurry and bring your cartoons so Gardevoir can watch an episode!'
Seeing Gardevoir's behavior, Mewtwo suddenly realized Axel was right.
Turns out he was the one with the guardian personality.
He's just not cut out to be a killer.
["You came here to kill the Rockets who abused you too?"]
Gardevoir's voice was cold, her expression like an iceberg, ["If that's the case, then I'll leave this one for you to kill."]
["But before killing, I need him to make a call to Apollo."]
Mewtwo was stunned again. As a newly conscious Pokémon, he was like a blank slate.
Even though the process of his creation had fighting intent instilled in him, there was also a trace of the World Tree's genes in his body, he wasn't inherently violent.
Now seeing Gardevoir like this, he really felt she was a bit too cold and heartless...
["I think you should go back and watch a cartoon episode..."]
Gardevoir nodded, ["After I kill this Rocket member, I'll go back and watch cartoons with you."]
Mewtwo: "..."
'I don't think I need to watch anymore!'
Axel would never have dreamed that the problem he'd racked his brain over, how to educate Mewtwo, got solved just like that by Gardevoir.
Hearing the two Pokémon's unfiltered telepathy, the surviving Rocket member was even more mentally broken.
He couldn't understand why this Gardevoir wanted him to cooperate one moment, and kill him the next.
Did he really look that easy to bully?
["I refuse!"]
Gardevoir's lips curled slightly as she looked at Mewtwo.
["Just in time... this Rocket guy now has a new use."]
["Let me teach you... how to destroy someone's heart with psychic power."]
Seeing Gardevoir say such vicious words with a beautiful smile, Mewtwo was stunned again.
Then, screams of agony echoed throughout the valley.
In the end, the Rocket member finally sighed in relief before dying, looking at Gardevoir with lingering fear.
He couldn't wait to dial a call, "Lord Apollo, the trainers and Pokémon here are very strong, better bring help when you come harvest!"
