Chapter 190: Eva's Shock

Seeing the petite figure of Eva, a trace of heartache flashed in Gardevoir's eyes.

In the previous life, in order to help herself grow quickly, Eva gave a lot of money to her and Axel.

This led to Eva starting her researcher path quite late.

Even when she and Axel were riding high all the way, most of the resources had come from Eva.

Gardevoir only recently came to understand how exhausted Eva had been in the past life, just to get resources for them.

["Master… I know a place where there's a Metagross…"]

"What do we need a Metagross for?", Axel looked at Gardevoir in surprise.

He currently had no intention of capturing a Metagross; after all, the team already had plenty of Psychic-types, and both Mewtwo and Gardevoir were strong ones.

Even if Deoxys appeared in front of him, he wouldn't even glance—let alone a Metagross.

["For… Eva, to be her assistant…"]

"I see," Axel patted Gardevoir's head, feeling a bit warm inside.

As expected of the kind-hearted Emotion Pokémon, Gardevoir had taken on the role of "head of the family" in this home centered around him, carefully thinking through every aspect.

"Don't worry about that. I plan to look for Regigigas in the future and have Him help mold a Regigigas out of silicon."

"The computing power of such a Regigigas should rival that of a Metagross, and it would be even stronger."

"Garde~"

Seeing that Axel already had a plan, Gardevoir nodded sweetly.

Eva naturally sat next to Axel, her big eyes practically glued to Eternatus.

"This little guy is so cute. So he can even shrink?"

"Mhm, it's a power He gained after developing consciousness," Axel explained with a smile and placed the little Eternatus in Eva's arms.

Little Eternatus stiffened, looking toward Ho-Oh for help.

"Rawr!"

["She's… a good person…"]

After Ho-Oh softly called, Eternatus visibly relaxed and began flying around Eva.

"Roar!"

Everyone in the yard, both people and Pokémon, burst out laughing.

Eva hugged Eternatus in her arms, curiously looking at Axel and Gardevoir.

"What were you two talking about just now?"

"Gardevoir wanted to help you find a Metagross."

"Huh?", Eva immediately looked confused.

She knew Axel had risen quickly recently. His team even had pseudo-legendaries, and even the mythical Pokémon of Kanto, Ho-Oh.

But was a Metagross something you could just go find?

Even in Hoenn, where Metagross was most common, they were still quite rare, right?

Seeing Eva's reaction, Axel continued, "I didn't agree."

"Whew!", Eva let out a sigh of relief.

Compared to Pokémon, Trainers were indeed more rational.

"I plan to go all-in from the start and see if I can get the Regigigas to help mold a Regigigas for you out of silicon. That way, the computational power and strength will both be stronger."

Eva: (O_o)?

'I just praised you for being rational, and it turns out you're the craziest of all!'

As a scholar, though Eva hadn't studied divine beast legends deeply, she had some knowledge.

And Regigigas also had the Slow Start ability, which fell within her research scope.

So she was very clear about Regigigas' power. This divine being indeed had the ability to create divine beasts.

She also knew silicon was the raw material for chips and could have strong computational power with some shaping.

But…

'Are you sure you can get Regigigas to help mold a divine beast, customized?'

'Even Goodshaw, the president of the Pokémon League, wouldn't have that kind of pull, right?'

Thinking of this, Eva worriedly pressed the back of her hand to Axel's forehead.

"Axel, have you been woken up by Gyarados every day and damaged your mental system?"

"Please don't do anything stupid. That's a divine beast, very hard to deal with."

"I'm not in any danger here, and I'm not that busy. Don't go do anything risky for me."

"It's not dangerous," Axel took Eva's arm down from his forehead and said with a smile, "Our yard already has so many divine beasts, one more Regigigas won't make a difference."

"Besides, whether we even meet Regigigas depends on future fate."

"There are other divine beasts in the yard?"

Eva's gaze fell on Ho-Oh.

If her eyes weren't broken, there should only be that one, right?

"Yeah, quite a few. The little guy in your arms is a divine beast."

"And that Mewtwo over there watching cartoons is another divine beast that hasn't appeared publicly yet."

Eva's expression turned blank.

'So you're saying that Mewtwo, the one always hugging the computer, and this thing that's cuter than a puppy, are both divine beasts?'

'They don't even look fiercer than Gyarados!'

Seeing Eva looking skeptical, Axel tilted his head at Eternatus.

"Go beat up Gyarados and show Eva your divine beast strength!"

Eternatus: "ROAR!"

Gyarados: "???"

'It's over, I'm really the punching bag now!'

Watching the fleeing Gyarados, Axel and Gardevoir exchanged glances and both laughed.

'Serves you right for always acting so cocky.'

———

A few minutes later, Axel and Eva rode the bruised Gyarados out of the research institute.

It was rare for Eva to have three or four days off, and Axel would be leaving soon, so they decided to find a beautiful place to have fun for a few days.

As the sun set, the huge Petalglen City lit up with countless lights.

Flying-type Pokémon occasionally swept across the sky, looking even more utopian than something from a Hayao Miyazaki movie.

To make it easier to take photos during the trip, Eva specially changed outfits.

Under her tall twin tails was a set of clothes that made her look like a little white rabbit. The two bunny ears on her hat were especially cute.

Axel held both Gardevoir and Eva in his arms, "Any place you want to go?"

"West Mountain Hot Springs, I want to go to the West Mountain Hot Springs!"

Eva excitedly clutched Axel's arm, her delicate figure bouncing on Gyarados' head.

"I heard there's a Sealeo performance there, and it's open 24 hours."

"After we rest there tonight, tomorrow we can go to the nearby Sinma Kingdom Amusement Park to see semi-wild Pokémon.

We can ride rollercoasters and ferris wheels, so thrilling!"

Seeing Eva plan the trip to the brim, Gardevoir's lips curled up slightly.

'Oh, clueless Eva… You have no idea what kind of terrifying Gigantamax creature you're about to face.'

'Still want to go play the next day?'

'Keep dreaming!'
