Dozens of notifications assaulted Axel's eyes the moment he woke up. There were two types of notifications: rewards, which were very confusing, and another main quest.
He looked at the reward description.

Ding!
Move capture: Host's Pokemon has a chance to steal the move of another Pokemon. Requirements:
1. This move should be a newly invented or modified move of the opposing Pokemon.
2. There is only a 30% probability of stealing the move.
3. The move type should match the Pokemon's core to activate.
4. The Pokemon must personally kill the opposing Pokemon.

He was surprised and thrilled with this reward. It was a game-changer. Although it had many restrictions, Axel could now let his Pokemon learn new moves without any training. Training a new move could take him months, even with his system and talent. So, this reward would save him a significant amount of time.
"System, why is the reward so good? It's game-changing."

Ding!
Host, the reward for the main quest is better than that of special or sub-quests.

"Thanks for the heads up."
Now he felt regret that he couldn't obtain the reward for Shedinja's quest. Shedinja was close to reaching the King rank.
"This next main quest has an SS rank in difficulty? Being a champion is only AA rank, and being a Pokemon master is SSS rank. This forest is very mysterious. Too bad I can't do this quest now. I should at least have a Pokemon at the master rank before I take on this job," he said to himself.

The doorbell in Axel's house rang. Axel was highly valued, and the Venu family had given him a wonderful house. He didn't care much about it as he would be busy outside, but it was nice to have a place to live.
"Oh, hey Rox. Fancy seeing you this early," said Axel, opening the door.
Rox was one of the survivors after Adam and Angela.
"Yes, top of the morning to you too. The leader is waiting for you. We are having a meeting right now," said Rox.
"This early in the morning?"
"What can I say? The leader is an early bird. By the way, I don't think I thanked you for saving my life before."
"I don't remember either."
"Well, thank you. If you and those crazies hadn't come to save us, I might not have been able to see my family again. I know that just saying thank you is not enough. I have made some plans to express my gratitude," said Rox.
"Oh, you know you don't have to do that."
"I do. Axel, you don't give yourself enough credit. You are only 14 and a half years old, and you have achieved so much. You have also helped the family a lot. I don't want it to get to your head, but you should think back and be proud of yourself."
"Thanks, Rox. I feel lighter now."
"Hmm... Well, we have arrived at the leader's office. Let's go in. We have a lot to discuss."
Inside the meeting hall, six people were already seated. Axel seemed to be the last to arrive. The meeting now consisted of eight members: A, B, K, Mark, Angela, Adam, Rox, and Axel.
"Let's start the meeting now. First of all, we would like to thank you all, youngsters, for saving us. Since you risked your lives to save us all, we will, of course, reward you for it.
K, you aspire to be a Pokemon champion and Pokemon master someday. The family will provide you with resources to support your goal. All of your Pokemons will be given naturally formed type-enhancing items relevant to their ranks. You will also be ranked up to an elite member.
A and B, both of you aspire to become elders or leaders in the future. You are to select your fields of expertise, and the family will provide you with training and resources. Both of you will also be ranked up to elite members.
Finally, Axel, you were the main contributor to this rescue operation. I want you to have the position of an elder. What do you think?" said Angela.
That was a significant position. The Venu family was one of the most prominent families in the Kanto region. Being an elder, just below the leader, would be a huge accomplishment for Axel. With that position, he could achieve so much.
"I would love to, but I can't sit here all day managing the family. You know I also want to be the next Pokemon master. So, I will be out of the family most of the time."
He wanted the position, but he didn't have time to manage the family full-time. He had his own goals to achieve. For a normal person, this would be a tremendous opportunity, but not for him. The opportunity cost was too high.
Angela smiled and said, "Who said you couldn't achieve your goals and also be the elder of the family?"
