Hearing Great Bear's words, Aulus and Sasha fell silent for a moment, then both nodded unconsciously.
Indeed, for the current Aurient, Axel was absolutely the most suitable person to be Champion.
From a Pokémon standpoint, every trainer in history who had been acknowledged by Rayquaza had taken on the role of ruler in their era.
From a character standpoint, Axel had been striking across regions, constantly eliminating villains. In high-level circles, he was already called an even harder worker than Lance.
From a diplomatic standpoint, Axel had close ties with several regional Champions.
From a training standpoint, Axel had only stayed at Petalglen University for less than ten days, yet the freshmen there experienced explosive growth, with all kinds of tactics emerging one after another.
Even Sasha herself had, through being tempered by Petalglen University's students, reached a level among the top three of the eight Gyms. f someone like this didn't become Champion, then who would?
But when Sasha thought of how Axel had "tormented" her back then, she couldn't help baring her teeth.
She always felt that if Axel became Champion, the whole world might end up unlucky.
"By the way, you should know roughly when Axel's family finishes eating, right?", Great Bear turned to the two and asked.
"The former Champion specifically reminded me that people in Petalglen have the habit of taking a nap at noon, so he told me to wait until they wake up from their nap before going over."
Aulus's nose twitched slightly, a drop of cold sweat running down.
"Well… I had some connection with Axel's parents back in the day, so I told them early this morning that you'd be coming. They probably won't be napping today."
"You…", Great Bear let out a bitter smile. He hadn't expected that after being so careful about showing respect, President Aulus, someone so experienced, would notify them in advance.
But thinking about it, Aulus hadn't done anything wrong. What if Axel's family reunited and went out? Where would he go to find them?
"Then let's not wait any longer. Let's head over right away. We can't keep them waiting."
"Alright, alright, I'll prepare the car immediately," Aulus quickly agreed and jogged toward the back courtyard of the Gym.
"And Gym Leader Sasha, you should come along too. I heard you and Axel have quite a close relationship, with plenty of interaction."
"Me?", Sasha froze for a moment, then decisively recalled Incineroar and followed behind Great Bear.
She was afraid Incineroar might not be able to stop itself from cursing the moment it saw Axel.

[Golden Amber Villa District]
Axel's family and Eva's family hadn't gathered together for a meal in nearly twenty years. Everyone was extremely happy, and the preparations were unusually lavish.
The table was filled with top-tier premium ingredients people had sent over during this period. Seafood and delicacies nearly couldn't even fit.
Aside from the Rayquaza group and the Sinnoh group not being home, the rest of Axel's Pokémon were in the yard, eating the Pokémon food Axel had prepared.
The only exception was the little shark, who begged Eternatus to shrink him down, then curled up at Dusk's feet like a puppy, begging for seafood.
Other than that, the entire residential district was as quiet as death.
In Axel's neighbor's house, a beautiful woman stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor, barely even blinking.
"O-old Man, come take a look. Are there a lot of Pokémon downstairs that we've never seen before?"
"What Pokémon could there be that we haven't seen? Look at you, acting like you've never seen the world. Anyone who didn't know better would think our breeding house went bankrupt."
A dignified middle-aged bald man in a silk robe put down his newspaper and walked up the spiral staircase to the third floor.
"Let me see what even I haven't—holy crap, Ho-Oh?"
The moment his words fell, he felt a sharp gaze land on him.
He saw a small dragon, pinkish-purple all over, like a skeletal dragon, staring at him. Its eyes were calm and still, yet it gave him a chilling feeling down his spine.
"S-sorry!", The man hurriedly bowed to the little dragon in apology, and only then did the fear in his heart fade.
But the shock in his heart refused to go away.
Wasn't it said that the people who moved in next door were the parents of some researcher?
How could there be such terrifying Pokémon.
Scenes like this were happening in nearly every villa around.
Many of the divine Pokémon Axel possessed had never appeared before, or only existed in ancient legends.
But Ho-Oh was different. Because of its habit of wandering around, almost everyone was familiar with it.
After seeing Ho-Oh, the owners of these villas, people at the very top of Petalglen's social circles, all understood one thing.
Golden Amber Villa District now had someone they absolutely couldn't afford to offend.
The only thing they were curious about was who exactly that person was.
At the same time, a group of people dressed in black suits and uniform leather shoes rushed into the entrance of the residential district.
"Hey, who are you people?", The burly security guards at the entrance saw they didn't look friendly and immediately rushed forward, holding Poké Balls.
But in less than a few seconds, they were all taken down by the men in black suits.
Lance took out a communicator and calmly directed his subordinates.
"Team one, open the gate and let our cleaning vehicles in!"
"Team two, focus on driving. Aurient's high-level officials are coming to visit the Savior today. We cannot let the Savior lose face!"
"Team three, present your best posture. Stand guard at key streets, keep your Pokémon with you at all times. I don't want to see any accidents!"
"Yes!"
"Received!"
"Understood!"
The people Lance brought were all Rocket Team elites. Everyone moved in an orderly manner, performing their roles to perfection.
After Lance's indoctrination during this period, his subordinates had all come to believe that Axel was the true Savior.
Or rather, it wasn't just Lance's subordinates. Now, nearly half of Team Rocket's elites knew they were enduring humiliation, waiting for the Savior's arrival.
Now that they had been selected to provide security for the Savior's family, every one of them was extremely excited!
Seeing these sharply dressed men in black, each accompanied by Pokémon above level 30, the residents of the other villas were even more stunned.
As successful people in their respective fields, they all had foresight.
Originally, although this district was strong and could be considered one of the top residential areas in Petalglen, it shouldn't have been to this level.
But now…
Divine Pokémon, security personnel comparable to League elites… all of it had suddenly appeared in the district on this single day.
Finally, the sound of sirens rang out, and a convoy of black vehicles slowly entered the district.
At that moment, once everyone saw the license plate on the lead car, they understood why the district felt so different today.
Because the leading black Audi carried the plate number, AUR·A00000!
