Ralts sat quietly beside the pond.
Her small hand propped up her cheek, staring at the Pokémon playing in the water like Psyduck and Goldeen.
It gave off a pure sense of beauty.
Through the system panel, Ralts' status was completely visible to Axel.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Seeing Ralts' luxurious panel, Axel looked at Gary like he was an idiot.
'This is what you called dull?'
'I really want to hit you with a club and sack combo!'
'Master-level potential, one supreme tag, one gold tag.'
'Especially those tons of skills.'
'Even stronger than the strongest Pheromosa my parents found in the Ultra Wormhole!'
'If this counts as dull, then there are no smart Pokémon in the world.'
The moment Axel appeared, a faint smile appeared on Ralts' lips.
Her reaction didn't seem big; she still looked like she was watching the fish.
Only, her gaze couldn't help but glance at Axel, and the smile on her lips wouldn't go away at all.
She had been waiting here for three days, already fully prepared.
Whether it was skills or opportunities, she had prepared everything for Axel.
In the previous life, Axel had suffered so much for her, yet never thought of giving up.
This time, she would definitely let Axel start with a heavenly hand.
"Gary, is this the 'dull' Ralts you mentioned?"
"Yeah!", Gary answered naturally.
At the same time, the scanning function of his Rotom Phone swept across Ralts' body, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Whether it was size or energy fluctuation, it could be seen that this Ralts was nothing special.
If it were an issue of uncontrollable psychic power, there should be irregular energy waves on this Ralts.
But according to the Rotom Phone's detection, this Ralts wasn't that kind of case.
So Gary concluded that she was just plain weak.
Seeing Axel staring straight at Ralts, Gary reminded, "I advise you not to capture this Ralts either."
"Their species is rare, sure, but this one's potential is obviously bad..."
"The first Pokémon is very important to a trainer's development."
"This time the Pokémon League distributes the first one, but from the second on, you have to capture or buy it yourself."
"If you choose her, you'll probably spend a long time just getting your second Pokémon."
"By the time you grow, other trainers under the same conditions will have long left you behind."
"Thanks for the advice," Axel nodded, then walked decisively toward Ralts.
"But I like this Pokémon!"
He stopped beside the pond, eyes falling on Ralts.
Ralts still sat dumbly by the pond, eyes hidden beneath her bangs, secretly observing Axel too.
After three days apart, Axel looked younger than before.
And unlike in the last life, after being tempered by hardship, this current Axel's eyes were full of youthful ambition.
Just as Ralts wanted to reach out and hold Axel's hand, her gaze suddenly landed on Axel's waist.
There, another breathtakingly beautiful Pokémon stood, Pheromosa, one of the Ultra Beasts.
Ralts' upturned lips immediately pressed into a pout.
'Oh you, Axel! You already have another girl?'
"Hmph!", Ralts turned her back to Axel, pouting hard.
Axel gently tapped Ralts on the shoulder, waved his hand in front of her.
"Hello, Ralts. I'm a trainer here to choose a Pokémon."
"Would you be willing to come with me?"
Ralts glanced at Axel, gave him a sidelong glare.
Then turned her head back, completely treating Axel like air.
Because her eyes were hidden by her hair, Axel didn't see the change in her gaze.
He just thought this Ralts didn't like interacting with people, nor showing her abilities.
Only that could explain why others thought she was such a dumb Pokémon.
Axel circled around Ralts, then appeared in front of her again.
"I can help you become stronger, trust me!"
Seeing Axel confidently circling around her, Ralts was already laughing inside.
Back in her foggy-headed previous life, Axel used to play with her like this.
'However...'
'Since this guy already has another girl, don't think things will go so smoothly!'
Ralts put on a confused look and "accidentally" touched the empty Poké Ball on Axel's belt, turning into a red light and entering it.
After the two were bound, Ralts reappeared outside the Poké Ball.
A barely noticeable sly smile appeared on her lips as she plopped down on the nearby Psyduck.
"Quack! Quack! Quack!"
Psyduck flailed its wings in panic, splashing water everywhere, soaking Axel.
Gary's eyes landed on Axel, the corners of his mouth twitching, "I told you not to catch that Ralts. Embarrassing girl..."
But Axel didn't mind at all.
'So what if I got wet?'
'Today, I caught both Pheromosa and Ralts. Such powerful Pokémon. I'll even be willing to lose my virtue to a little loli!'
"Ralts, the water's a bit cold, don't accidentally fall in,".Axel quickly picked the little one off the panicking Psyduck, holding her in his arms like a child.
Ralts, just like in his memories, quietly nestled in Axel's arms.
She found it quite fun like this. Just like reliving how Axel used to play with her before.
And she didn't have to explain anything, it killed two birds with one stone.
Seeing Ralts behave, Axel gently teased her.
After a while of interaction, Axel suddenly remembered he had agreed to battle Gary.
'Should I use Pheromosa, or Ralts?'
'Too many strong Pokémon, it's a happy dilemma...'
"Gary, didn't we agree to have a battle? How about we go to the first floor of the Pokémon Center now?"
"Just in time to register as official trainers, then start our first match."
Gary pulled at the corner of his mouth, looking disdainfully at Ralts who still acted all dumb.
"You sure?", Gary's lips instinctively curled into a devilish grin, wanting to throw out some trash talk.
But the Squirtle on his waist was nearly dumbfounded.
As a Pokémon, his senses were much stronger than human-made instruments.
When Gary said Axel shouldn't catch Ralts, he had sensed an extremely dangerous aura from her.
Just one glance almost made him suffocate.
'Fight against someone who almost knocked me out with a look?'
'Old man, are you crazy?'
