Chapter 689: Gordon

"It is. You are doing this cause you want this Gerad guy to feel stupid. You want this because of money and prestige. How is this helping you in gaining any sort of personal power?", asked Mew.

"If I were to do this, I would be making a lot of personal connections with powerful people, like the king. I will also have a lot of powerful friends. This would increase my overall power. Yes, it might not increase my personal power but I will be powerful in the future.

We are going for war, Mew, and War is not won alone. Besides, with enough money, I could open a lot of restaurants worldwide and I will also be able to make new dishes."

Mew\'s eyes glowed when it heard about the food dishes and the restaurants. It then thought for some time and then said, "Ok, I will do it but I still cannot call Celebi. I will be helping you on this by myself."

"Great!!"

"But I will be needing more than just a few food dishes for it.", demanded Mew.

"What do you need?", asked Axel.

"I want to see your new Pokemon."

"Which one?"

"This Slowemperor one. I have never seen it before."

"Oh, ok. I have no problem with this."

"So, when are we going to make this headquarters?", asked Mew.

"It would take some time cause we still need to get all the materials for you and also the building plan is still not complete. I believe it would be completed after 2 weeks."

"Ok, I will be waiting then. Now, call your Slowemperor."

Axel didn\'t know why it was interested in it. It must be cause this was a completely different Pokemon, a new species.

Mew looked at Slowemperor who was very tall for its size. It was also very big and it looked menacing. It circled around Slowemperor. Slowemperor seeing Mew immediately bows down its head to show respect. Mew was not called the mother of all Pokemons for nothing.

"Hmmm.. Oh.. Oh, that is why.. AKrinsoy slwy dibeud..."

Mew was talking to itself in some weird language that he didn\'t understand. It looked like it was looking at a math problem that it could not solve before.

"I want to further check on this Magnus of yours. Don\'t worry, I will teach it a lot of things.", said Mew, and before Axel could agree it disappeared.

"Hey, tell me how much time it would take?", asked Axel but Mew was already gone.

Axel was not worried about Slowemperor. It was a tier 3 king-rank Pokemon and Mew could be trusted. He could also contact Mew when he wanted.

Now, it was finally time to meet with Kate. Axel wanted to try the teleportation technique of Alakazam but it would have to be marked first. So, he was a bit disappointed. He had already booked a flight to the main headquarters of Zard family.

Zard family had a lot of business ventures and they were one of the wealthiest families in the Kanto region. One of their most popular business ventures was auction where they were able to make a lot of connections and money.

Axel had bought Googat from there, so he knew how it worked. As Axel was sitting in place, he was thinking about the rate of progress of his new Pokemons. They were slower than the previous Pokemons. This was due to many reasons.

One of the reasons was Aeus island where he could not actively train them. Another reason was him having a lot of Pokemons. Before, it was only Nidoran, Shedinja, Charmander and Weedle. But now there are more than 20 Pokemons with him. The final reason was mainly due to him.

Since he was now famous, had a lot of money, and could live a luxurious life, Axel would use flights and planes like this to shorten the time needed for travel. Before he would just travel the whole forest with his own 2 feet.

Before he would let his Pokemons fight the wild Pokemons often and this would increase their experience slowly. Axel really had to think about new Pokemons. But since he had been so busy with many things, he had not been able to have a peaceful time.

"Sigh, I think I should really go home, call Red, and plan about my future for a week or two.", mumbled Axel to himself. This was needed.

###

The plane ride was for 2 days. Axel seriously hated these plane rides. First, this planet was at least 10 times bigger than Earth, so the nearby cities would also take more than 5-10 hours to reach. So, the plane rides would also take a long time.

His thoughts were also not in this Pokemons and their training. Since he had 2 days to think about anything, the thoughts revolved around many things.

Like the thoughts on his personal life. He had been so focused on his career, training himself and his Pokemons that he had done nothing except for that. He had also not visited his family often due to this.

Axel knew that time was ticking down but he decided that he would slow down a little. He also needed to enjoy life with his friends and family. If he only focused on his career, he believed that his mind would break after some time.

Then Axel started to think about Kate. Since he had been so focused on his career, he had not even thought much about Kate. He had not even called her much. Axel could hear the irritation of Kate when he called her last time. She was clearly angry cause she was not getting much attention.

"I feel that I have been ignoring a lot of things. I must do something."

That was why Axel was going to the Zard family\'s main headquarters to surprise her. He had talked with Lance, and as per him, girls loved surprises. So, he was going to do exactly that.

For a moment he thought of another possibility. What if he went there to surprise her but she had already moved on and Axel saw her kissing another dude right in front of him, like a movie scene. He taught himself to stay positive and went to sleep.

###

The plane landed after 2 days. Axel was not having a good feeling right now. He never like the plane ride. So, before going to meet with Kate, he decided to go to a restaurant to have some breakfast.

The restaurant was very fancy and it was made on a theme of 3 starter Pokemons of the Kanto region.

The first floor was related to Bulbasaur line. There were statues of Venusaur, Ivysaur and Bulbasaur. The interior of the floor had greenish and purple vibe. The tables and chairs were literally carved out of trees and the roots of the trees were still there. There were patches of grasses and seeds around the table.

This was one of the most creative restaurants he had ever seen. He was already hooked with the first floor and didn\'t think it necessary to go to other floors.

The waiter guided him and he saw the menu. The name of the foods somehow made some sort of connection with Venusaur. It was really interesting.

After eating the food and enjoying the view, Axel proceeded to leave.

"Mr. Axel, if you have a Venusaur, you will be getting 30% discount. Ivysaur will get you 20% discount and Bulbasaur will get you 10% discount.", said the waiter.

"Really? There is such a thing. Then I have a Venusaur with me.", said Axel.

"Oh really? Are you from the Venu family? Because among the other starter Pokemons, the supply of Bulbsaur is very strict and only Venu family members have them."

"Yes, I am a member of Venu family. Actually, I am an elder of Venu family."

"What?", shouted the waiter, and even other customers heard her shout. She felt embarrassed after getting all the attention.

"I am sorry for being rude but it is very rare for us to see an elder of the starter family. Please come to the training ground so that I can see your Venusaur. Actually, the boss might also want to see you if you don\'t mind."

"No, I actually want to see your boss. Is this your only restaurant or are there any other branches? Because I have not seen this restaurant before.", asked Axel.

"Actually, this is the first restaurant and it has only been open for 4 months now. It is going really well for a new restaurant. Of course, the boss has invested a lot of money in this."

"Yes, I can see that.", said Axel as he was looking around. Axel didn\'t know but just connected to the restaurant, there was a huge training ground. The training ground was divided into 4 parts but as of right now, it was empty.

As the waiter was making Axel busy, Axel could see a man coming towards him. The man was wearing a 3 piece suit with a sizable beard and long hair. However, the man looked tidy and very rich and sophisticated.

When the man saw Axel, he started to increase his speed and then after a few seconds, he was practically running. But it looked like stamina was not the man\'s strong suit. When he reached Axel, he had to take heavy breaths to become normal.

"Mr. Axel, it is wonderful to see you. I am sorry but these waiters are from outside the region, so they could not recognize you. I am Gordon. It is nice to meet you.", said Gordon and raised his hand for a shake.

Axel shook his hand and thanked Gordon.

"Gordon, I am very interested in your restaurant. What is your end goal?", asked Axel.

Gordon was very happy that someone asked this question. He went to lengths about his plan to establish one restaurant in each of the major cities of the whole world.

The theme would be starter Pokemons. Different regions have different starter Pokemons, so the theme would be different in every region.

Axel was curious about this type of idea. He was also running a restaurant business. He knew that a good theme played a vital role in the restaurant business. Right now, the only strong point in his restaurant was food. His food was unique and exceptional.

"So, what about this discount and training ground?", asked Axel.

"Oh, this is a new idea that I want to execute. I want to combine Pokemon battles with restaurants in the future.", said Gordon.

"That is an interesting concept. Gordon, I have a proposal for you. I want a share in your restaurant.", said Axel surprising Gordon.

"Sir, one of the reasons that I am not expanding is due to lack of funds. So, having a rich partner would be very helpful but I don\'t want to share my business. It is my hard work after all."

"Why are you rejecting it before hearing it?"

"Ok, what is your proposal?", asked Gordon. He was not so polite right now.

"I also have a restaurant and I like this business. Of course, it is also in the starting phase. So, I want your services in thinking up a good theme for each of my future restaurants and I will also take 40% of the total share of your business or future business."

Gordon looked at Axel with a surprised face and then gave a soft smile and said, "Mr. Axel, you must be kidding me."
