Axel was stunned by this news. He knew he would be famous, but he didn't know that the impact of his work will reach the world. Axel also noticed that Angela was the kind of woman who loves to give long speeches. But he was happy with it as he got to learn a lot of things.
"The league will decide to give you the rewards after some time. What the reward will be? Even I don't know. It depends on the influence the work would create. As you already know, Venu family would get 20% of the benefits of the league. But I have a proposal for you." Said Angela
"Ohh. Ok, I will hear it"
"Normally, in this case, you would get some points as a reward from Venu family. But I want you to contribute 60% of the rewards to Venu family.
In return, you would get some points, be promoted to elite member, get to choose 1 reward from the treasury up to elite rank Pokemon, and 1 wish. Mind you, the wish should not be impractical."
This was quite a pickle. He didn't know what the league would reward him with. But the benefits given by Angela were also good.
He didn't care much about his promotion in rank. But to get to choose 1 reward and completion of 1 wish was enticing.
Axel didn't think for 2 minutes and kept thinking. After 2 minutes he said, "I agree with it but I want 2 wishes instead of 1"
"That is too much. I could increase your points reward but getting another wish is a deal-breaker for me.", said Angela shaking her head.
"Hear me out first. My first wish is that I want a Bulbasaur. So, I want your Venusaur recommendation. As for my second wish, I would think about it."
"I could give you the recommendation, but you should also have a rare ranked Pokemon and have unlocked your Aura or Psychic ability. If you could not do it, even I am helpless. Venusaur group are quite strict on this.", said Angela
It looked like even the leader of the family could not do anything about it. But Axel said:
"I have already fulfilled the condition. I now have a rare ranked Pokemon and have unlocked my Aura."
"What??!!!", shouted Elder Adam standing up from his chair. Adam seemed shocked by this. He knew Axel already had a rare ranked Pokemon now but having unlocked Aura within 3 months was a very rare case.
"Yes, I have just unlocked my Aura today.", said Axel with a smile.
"You also have a rare ranked Pokemon except for that Gogoat of yours?", asked Angela.
She didn't even know that Nidorino had ranked up. It was given as she was the leader and could not know all the things.
Axel nodded his head. Angela then said, "Ok, I agree with your condition. Giving you the recommendation is not a big deal for me anyway. When would you be leaving the family? You have grown sufficiently strong now."
"I plan to leave after 10 days after getting my Bulbasaur.", said Axel.
After some small talk, Axel left the house.
Axel's and Mark's research was published to the public. And it shocked the world.
"2 researchers of Venu family have discovered 2 new eeveelutions. A psychic type called Espeon and a dark type called Umbreon. The head researcher, Axel Blaze is told to be only 13 years old and he is the first outsider of the Venu family. It is quite shocking news. What do you say, Brad?"
"Well, Alexis, it is time that the Venu family step up their game. For hundreds of years, they have been in isolation without caring about the outside world. But none of us expected that their entrance would be so big."
"What do you feel about Axel Blaze? And he being the first outsider of Venu family? Don't you feel that your competition is rising, since you are a core member of the Toise family?"
"Axel Blaze is a promising trainer. And we have already witnessed his knowledge in the research field. I believe he would be a great asset to the Kanto region.
Regarding the decision of Venu family, it is quite obvious for them to include him as a member. Venu family wants to be isolated, but it is not stupid. Every family including my Toise family would be happy to have him as a member.
And as for the competition, the Venu family would need to do a lot to stand toe to toe with the Toise family. Besides, It is all for the betterment of the region."
"Oh, so you think...."
Axel was watching the news on television. His parents had called him to congratulate him. His mom was very happy that the news was talking about her son. Axel also received a call from Mr. Koga.
But Axel was not just the one seeing the news. The whole world was shocked by listening to it.
"Damn!! That guy is a monster. Not 1 evolution, but 2?"
"Yeah, and he is only 13 years old."
"Maybe I could also get into the Venu family. It seems far better than the other 2 families."
"Yeah look at Axel. 3 months and he is already an elite member"
Meanwhile in Blackthron City, Johto region
"Just who is his guy? Is he a trainer too?", roared Dragon.
"Yes, he is.", said Lance's uncle.
"How powerful is he now?"
"That we don't know. Venu family has been hiding his information."
"Then find out about it. I want to know.", said Dragon.
"Lance, look like you would have a tough opponent.", murmured Dragon in a low voice.
Somewhere in the Hoenn region,
"Did you hear the news?", asked Glacia, an Elite 4 member.
The meeting was between the elite 4 members and the champion of the Hoenn region. And the topic of Discussion was Axel Blaze.
"You mean this shit!", said Drake, the dragon-type master slamming the newspaper on the table.
"Sir Drake, you are a Champion. Please maintain your dignity.", said Sidney a dark-type master.
"Humph. I know you are happy. A new dark Pokemon was discovered.", said Drake.
Drake was now the current champion of the Hoenn region. This was the time when the protagonist Ash Ketchum had not even been born.
"Drake, I don't think there is a need to worry. The guy is just a good researcher, not a good trainer. Region's power is determined by a powerful trainer.", said Alexsis.
"No, you are wrong. I have an instinct that this kid is a powerful trainer. At least he would be to make a difference. And you know, my instinct is never wrong.", said Drake.
"Glacia, we should start that training for Steven.", said Drake.
"That training would be hard for him. He just started his journey.", replied Glacia.
"No, the time has come for him. For centuries, the Kanto region has always been at the top. It had now almost swallowed the Johto region. It is already late now. We must prepare. And start to personally train Wallace too.", said Drake.
"Drake, Wallace is only 6 yr old. It would be inhuman of us!!", said Glacia in a loud voice.
"Believe me Glacia. Do as I say. Just start normal training for him now. Get him a Pokemon of his desire. I have a feeling that Wallace would be something great in the future."
Somewhere in the Sinnoh region,
"Did you hear the news? About that Axel blaze?", said a young voice in the darkroom.
"I know, it is quite surprising. Venu family have started to show their horns.", said an old woman.
"Why are you worried about Venu family? I am talking about that young trainer."
"You young generation do not know. But the Venu family holds some powerful secret. It is one of the pillars of the Kanto region. It still holds the most power among the 3 starter families. It is also very strong compared to our family. Hu hu... Looks like our little Cynthia would have a good competition."
