One day passed. Axel spent nearly the entire time testing every possible situation around the powers of Terapagos and the General.
Aside from Rayquaza as a special case, the General could buff any form of dragon-type Pokémon, including dragon attributes granted through Terapagos's Terastalization.
This result was also within Axel's expectations. After all, the General's entry had appeared because of Rayquaza.
If even Rayquaza could be strengthened by the General, wouldn't that basically be stepping on one foot to climb into the sky?
"That should be about it. No more training today. Everyone get some good rest."
After the experiments, Axel gave the Pokémon plenty of time to rest and recover.
Because... the League had called him today.
All proposals had already passed. Aside from Wallace, every Champion unanimously decided to attack the Rainbow Rocket world.
Of course, Wallace wasn't against attacking. He just didn't agree with himself being Champion anymore because he was afraid of embarrassing the Hoenn region.
The next day, the Hoenn League announced personnel changes. Wallace stepped down, and former Champion Steven took the position again.
On the third day, the Aurient League announced that Elite Four Great Bear would inherit the Champion position and bring Urshifu to the Rainbow Rocket world. At the same time, they would mobilize every Gym Leader-level combat force to completely end the war in this generation.
On the same day, aside from the Paldea region, where the Explorers were still active, and the Sinnoh region, where time and space were still unstable, all other regions responded and sent out every combat force above Gym Leader level.
On the fourth day, Kalos, Alola, and Paldea jointly issued an announcement. All Pokémon combat participants could go to the three Leagues and choose to learn one power system among Z-Moves, Mega Evolution, or Terastalization.
On the fifth day, Silver of the Kanto region announced that he would take out all of Team Rocket's assets and exchange them for treasures, training resources, and other supplies to guarantee logistics for this operation.
The sixth day... the seventh day... the eighth day.
Explosive news appeared almost every day. Under the threat of Rainbow Rocket, the usually harmless League completely transformed into a war machine.
More than ten Champion-level combatants, over fifty Elite Four-level combatants, plus nearly a thousand Gym Leaders all began moving in force.
As for a small number of top combatants, Alder, Cynthia, Wallace, and others stayed behind in the Pokémon world to prevent Rainbow Rocket from invading.
Although they had fewer people, together with the Pokémon world's Ho-Oh, Lugia, Regigigas, the Time-Space Dragons, and other Pokémon, they were still an extremely huge fighting force.
There were so many high-ranking League officials, and every decision was made steadily. Naturally, they wouldn't leave Rainbow Rocket any chance to attack their home.
———
About two months passed. Snow began falling from the sky, and the entire Mewtwo Island was covered in ice and snow.
During these two months, Axel never let the Pokémon train. Every day he just brought them around to eat, drink, and play.
For a top breeder like him, even doing only this could still rapidly improve the Pokémon's strength while keeping them in a good mood.
On this day, Axel was feeding Terapagos and the mischievous little Hoopa together with Pheromosa when the roar of an aircraft suddenly appeared above Mewtwo Island.
A man in a black suit jumped down from the aircraft with Charizard and respectfully stopped in front of Axel.
"Mr. Axel, when would you have time?"
"All the combat forces have already mastered the power systems they chose, and every supply has arrived."
"Champion Cynthia's god-level Palkia has also sensed the coordinates of the Rainbow Rocket world. The League President asked me to ask for your opinion. When would it be appropriate to set out?"
'Emmm...'
Axel thought for a moment. It seemed he really didn't have anything left to prepare.
Right now, with the help of Gear City, the Blinding One had already recovered around two-thirds of its strength. The Ultra Beasts inside the Ultra Wormhole were also steadily growing stronger.
At present, there were around ten thousand Ultra Beasts in the Ultra Wormhole, thanks to the berries and training resources Axel had left behind.
Among them, nearly a hundred were at Elite Four level. Altogether, these Pokémon almost matched the total number of Pokémon held by the Elite Fours of the Pokémon world.
There weren't many Champion-level ones, only Zeraora's family and the clan leader of Guzzlord.
However, the Ultra Beasts' traits were rather special. After going through a period of slaughter, the leaders of several groups could barely reach Champion-level strength.
That was also why they had almost caused chaos in the Pokémon world before.
There were even more Gym Leader-level ones. Thanks to their extremely high base stats, nearly one-tenth of the Ultra Beasts could reach Gym Leader level.
But Axel had no intention of making the Ultra Beasts the vanguard. Most of them didn't have trainers and couldn't receive proper care, so accidents could easily happen in battle.
It was more suitable to bring them out during large-scale wars later.
At that time, they could directly have Necrozma or Gyarados connect the Ultra Wormhole to the Rainbow Rocket world. That would be when the Ultra Beasts could truly show their power.
The only regret was that there was still no research result regarding Deoxys, this "hidden danger."
Thinking this, Axel slowly nodded.
"I can leave anytime. When the time comes, I'll bring Groudon and Kyogre to block the spatial gateway and guarantee that our world's forces land safely."
The man in black was overjoyed. He didn't expect Axel to be this easy to talk to.
"Then I'll take you there now. Everyone else is already prepared!"
———
Very soon, the aircraft landed at the foot of Mt. Coronet.
Palkia stood on the void in the most eye-catching position, holding open a spatial passage large enough for eight Copperajah to move through together.
Axel greeted the very noticeable Cynthia, then swept his gaze across the people standing before the spatial passage. Nearly half of them were familiar faces.
Lance, Lorelei, Agatha, Bruno, Red, Steven, Diantha, Leon, Raihan, Geeta... and some other Champion-level people who weren't Champions stood at the very front.
Further behind were Lusamine, Flint, Caitlin, Apollo, and Elite Four members or Elite Four-level people from various regions.
A bit further back were Gym Leaders like Elesa, Iono, and Sasha.
Seeing Axel arrive, League President Damalanchi solemnly stepped forward.
"We're about to depart. Does Mr. Axel have anything else to say?"
Axel thought for a moment. After thinking about what he was about to say, his usually calm expression suddenly became slightly red.
"Well... if I say there are a few people who aren't suitable to go, and ask them to stay in the Pokémon world instead, would that be okay?"
"Who?", Damalanchi's heart skipped a beat, afraid someone had offended Axel.
"That's not what I mean...", Axel moved closer to Damalanchi and spoke quietly.
"Iono, Elesa, Lusamine, and Caitlin are all close with Cynthia, right? Wouldn't it be better if they stayed behind to help guard time and space?"
Damalanchi froze for a moment, then instantly understood.
"Of course that's fine!"
Damalanchi didn't feel there was anything wrong with it at all. Axel was basically a savior-level figure. What was wrong with someone like that protecting his girlfriends?
"Then I'm off!", Axel laughed openly and gave the girls a look telling them to obediently listen.
Then he stepped into the spatial passage.
