Chương 751: 5 Girlfriends

"Huh? Why is that?", asked Axel.

Lucario was going to explain it further but Blue intervened.

"I heard from Axel that there are some places that focus on a single element. Can any one of you tell me how good they are? Seeing that you are so excited, I can tell that such a place is not so normal."

"Yes, we are going to one of those places, so you will have a good idea. But the places are very valuable. Actually, the place where we are standing right now can formally be called a steel-type resource place.", replied Axel.

"Really? But I don't feel anything here. It just looks normal. Of course, the amount of aura and infinity energy here is higher than in other places. That is all.", said Blue.

Lucario was the one to explain it this time.

"The reason why you don't feel anything is due to numerous seals that I placed all over this place. If you want your steel-type Pokemon to train here, then it will be ideal but of course, the Pokemon must at least be a pseudo-king rank Pokemon."

"Oh! So that is why Axel was not letting Lucario train here cause it is still very weak."

"Yes, but Lucario will learn other things. So, you don't need to worry about it. Sigh, it looks like we drifted from the main point yet again. Now, let me answer your question, Axel. It is because you are simply too weak to go to that place. Among the places that I heard from those humans, in one of those places, my friend who controls it must have already died."

"Why?"

"Because that friend of mine was a Bibarel. Bibarel normally has a short life span but with grand energy, it was able to extend it very well. However, before all of us separated, Bibarel had an injury. An injury which it could not heal and which was slowly taking its life away. So, I assumed that it had died, and if it had died, the place must be in shambles and you cannot go there right now.

For the other place, the Pokemon that is guarding it is not very friendly with humans. Actually, she is not friendly with anyone. Not all of the Pokemons you meet will be as good as me. Some of them will be hostile but they will follow the rules of the master and will not personally take you down. But as of right now, you cannot go to that place."

"How strong should I be to go there?"

"Umm, at least one of your Pokemons must be a champion rank but I suggest that you forget about those places right now. You have yet to explore the resources type places here and make your Pokemons stronger. Why are you thinking about other places right now?"

"You are not wrong about it. I will think about it in the future."

###

As they were talking, the evening started to set in and finally, Axel could feel the aura of Steelix. It was much stronger than before. He turned around to see it and Steelix ran towards him to greet him.

It was now a tier 2 king-rank Pokemon and it was pretty powerful too. Behind it, Axel could see 5 more Pokemons. All of them were in king rank and he twitched his face after seeing it. All of them were the girlfriends of Steelix.

All of them were of different species and only one of them was Steelix. Axel didn't mind about it right now. He thought to talk about Steelix later.

"Steelix, you have grown very strong. Did you train under Krokodile?"

"Yes, I am now a tier 2 king-rank Pokemon.", said Steelix with a smile.

"Now, it's time for you to return with me. So, are you ready?"

Axel thought that Steelix would not agree to return with him as it now had 5 girlfriends but the response surprised him.

"Yes, I have been waiting for you for a long time. You were very late. Let's go.", said Steelix.

"What about your girlfriends?"

"I was thinking of bringing them with me only if that is possible."

"Steelix, I am not going to catch another 5 Pokemons even though they are king-rank Pokemons.", stated Axel.

Even though Steelix was his Pokemon and he loved it like any other Pokemon in his team, he was not going to catch 5 unknown Pokemons which he had no knowledge of. That would be a lot of responsibility that he didn't want to take.

"I am not saying you to catch all 5 of them. Why don't we assign them for tide battles? They will be part of your mercenary team and I will take care of all of them.", proposed Steelix.

That was not a bad idea. Axel needed strong Pokemons and if Steelix was taking responsibility then he had no problem.

"Steelix, can I talk to you alone for a minute.", said Axel.

Steelix told its 5 girlfriends to give them some time and then both of them went to a place where no one would disturb them.

"Why are you so hellbent on taking them? You have only them for only 5 months and you want to take responsibility? What the hell is going on?", asked Axel.

"Axel, I might be the oldest Pokemon in your team but right now, I am a youngster with enough maturity."

Axel understood that. Even though Steelix was more than 50 years old, its lifespan was 100s of years. So, it had reached a point it life, where it would have girlfriends and even wife or wives.

"Being with you doesn't mean that I will only serve you. I will also have my wives in the future. Not only me, other Pokemons in your team will also have them when they grow older.

I have become accustomed to them and I really love them. So, I want to take responsibility."

"But 5 of them? Isn't that too much?"

"No, it is not, at least for me. For humans, 5 might be a lot but for us Pokemons, it is an average number. Don't worry, I will take full responsibility for all of them and all of them will help you in the tide battle."

Axel didn't speak for some time and thought about it. Actually, it was not a bad deal and Steelix was right. When his other Pokemons get older, they will also have girlfriends and wives. He would also have to think about them in the future.

"Ok, I agree to it but I have a condition. I will catch them so that they can get the benefit of my system powers but I will not train them. It will be your responsibility to train them and make sure that they get stronger like my other Pokemons."

"I agree to your condition.", said Steelix.

"Let's go and I will see all the details of them.", said Axel and went to see those 5 Pokemons.

These 5 Pokemons were pretty nervous while looking at Axel and Steelix explained to them about the thing that they talked about. All of them agreed with no problem. It looked like these 5 really wanted to be with Steelix.

These 5 Pokemons were:

Steelix Blissey Scizor Golem Gyarados

Yes, all of them were very powerful. Axel was especially interested in Blissey as the Pokemon was very rare and it had powerful healing moves that would be very helpful in tide battles.

Axel caught all of them and didn't look at their stats right now. He decided to look at the stats of his Steelix and the other 5 Pokemons after some time. He had many things to complete here.

Next day,

"Are you all ready for teleportation?", asked Lucario.

Axel had called all of his Pokemons except for Lucario inside the Poke balls. He was now ready to meet with Ninetales.

"Yes, we are ready.", said Axel.

ZOOOMMMM!!!

Suddenly all of them disappeared.

Axel bent down to cough his heart out. Teleportation was never his favorite. He was feeling extremely dizzy and he just wanted to vomit. Yet, Blue was just standing straight as if nothing had happened.

"That Lucario is very precise in teleportation. I wonder where it learned it.", wondered Blue.

Axel took a couple of minutes to get to normal and in the meantime, they were surrounded by a lot of fire-type Pokemons. The place was extremely hot for Blue and Axel but they had already coated their body with aura.

Finally, A Ninetales came to them and said, "Mr. Axel, you have finally come. The leader wants to talk to you. If you want, I can guide you."

"Yes, I also want to talk to her. Take me to her.", said Axel.

Blue also wanted to come along but the Ninetales didn't let him come. Blue didn't force them and Axel about it and just waited outside.

Axel was led inside a cave. The cave was lit with many fireballs and it looked very beautiful. The place was not so hot but not so cold. It was warm and at the right temperature.

After walking around for 3-4 minutes, they reached the end of the cave and there he saw the leader. The leader seemed to be sleeping in what Axel could say was a high-quality bed and it was pregnant.

When they came near, the leader woke up and looked towards them.

"Axel, you have finally come. It is good that you are back. Come here and talk to me.", said Ninetales.

"Oh, it looks like you are ready to give birth.", said Axel.

"This, oh no. The process will take a long time and I need to rest and hibernate for 2 more years to give birth. That is also one of the reasons why the queen species of Ninetales are rare. Cause the process takes too long.

Anyway, As of right now, I am in good hands so I don't need to worry about it. I called you here to imprint my baby on you. This is very important and this needs to be done before the baby is born. If we do this, then he will consider you to be a part of the family and your bond with my child will be un-separable."

"Ninetales, I want to ask you again. Do you really want your child to be part of my team? Of course, I will take care of it as my own and I always treat my Pokemons the right way. You can talk to my Pokemons if you want but I just want you to be sure."

"Axel, I have already made this decision and I will not think about it again. I have thought a lot when I proposed to you about this. So, I am very sure."

"Ok, then how will this process go?"

"Just cover your hand with aura and then touch my stomach. I will do the rest.", said Ninetales.

One of the interesting things about this birth was that it was not in an egg form. This child will hatch just like the mammals of the earth. Axel asked about this to Ninetales and it just said that the birth is special as this was a special case.

Axel covered his hand with aura and then touched the stomach of Ninetales. An orange glow occurred and Ninetales gave a low howl and suddenly the process was completed.

"The process has been completed. Thanks for taking your time, Axel."

"You are welcome. My Charizard had just reached tier 3 king rank and I want to teach it about the directions now. I feel that this place is perfect for it. So, can I let it train here?"

"Of course you can. I will give you a teleportation paper too and you can come here and go back any time. Actually, we have 5 teleportation papers but I only gave one to that girl.

If you have 2 teleportation papers, then you can come here and teleport back anytime. So, there is no need to worry. I also want my child's future friends to be powerful and reliable."

"Really? Are you sure about it?"
