All of his stats have increased massively. His health has increased to 4000. There was also a boost from other stats. Axel was also happy to know that his skill levels have also boosted slightly.
There was also a separate tab of 'Aeus energy' but unfortunately, it was sealed. He knew that system would not do anything that would harm him, so this Aeus energy must be beneficial for him
All this got him to think. What was Aeus energy? Before he was avoiding it like a plague but now he really wanted to know what this unknown energy really was. He also wanted to know why the tab of 'Aeus energy' was sealed. Maybe he was too weak to unlock it.
He did try to ask the system but the system was not responsive.
He knew that Gardevoir would not say anything and he would have to venture north to find the answer about it. None of the humans have been able to get to the end of the north side. Very few of them had been able to get to the north side but none of them could get to the end of it.
It was said that the density of aeus energy was too high for any human to reach there.
"You have now been cured. There is no danger to your life right now.", said Gardevoir.
"Thanks, I can feel it. I feel very light and normal right now. By the way, I know that you cannot answer most of my questions but can I ask some of them?"
"If it is not against the rules, then I am happy to answer them."
"Thanks. So, first, why can only you cure me and not others?", asked Axel.
"There is a simple answer to this. It is due to me being a fairy-type Pokemon. Now, I know that you humans have not discovered a lot about my kind. I am also not liable to tell you anything about us but I can tell you this fairy-type Pokemons are a bit different from other Pokemons.
We live in nature, thrive in nature and we are loved by nature. Grand energy is also a part of nature, so it resonates more with us. So, I could manipulate it more perfectly than others."
Axel had read a lot of books about fairy-type Pokemon. Most of them were hypotheses and theories. Hearing it from the fairy-type Pokemon directly made him connect a lot of dots about the mystery of fairy-type Pokemon. He knew that it would not answer anything about its type, so he asked another question.
"This place is different from other places that we went to. First of all, why is everything in here glowing a lot? And secondly, why is there no pressure of grand energy like in other places?"
This peculiar place had interested him a lot. He felt a lot better thinking that the fairy-type resource place would be his and he could use it for his benefit.
"My answer would be the same. Fairy-type Pokemons are different from other Pokemons. The place is glowing due to fairy-type energy and you cannot feel the pressure due to fairy-type energy."
Axel could tell that for some reason, it was trying to hide information. However, he could not force it to say it cause he was too weak. Gardevoir could crush him with its tiny fingers if it wanted
"Final question. Do you have fairy dust and fairy dew with you in this place?", asked Axel.
"Yes, we do. Fairy dust is common here. You can take it if you want it but first, your Togepi has to pass the test. Relating to fairy dew, it is also available but it is very rare. I cannot start to hand it to you like fairy dust."
"So, if Togepi passes the test, how many fairy dew would I get?"
"One."
"Only one?"
"Yes, only one. I just said that it is very rare. Fairy dew takes a lot of time to form. Moreover, any fairy-type Pokemon can only take fairy dew one time in their lives and you only have 1 fairy type Pokemon with you. So, you are not losing much."
"Well, that is true.", sighed Axel.
He wanted to give some of them to Lance and Kate but it seemed like he could not. Fairy dew was very rare. It was even said to be just a rumor but he was lucky that it existed and it was available.
"Come on, 3 hours have passed. Your Togepi is coming out of the lake.", said Gardevoir and it moved towards the lake.

Axel could see a range of notifications when Togepi came out. He first looked at it and found out that it was very happy for some reason. It was smiling. This might be the first time he had seen it smile.
"So, buddy how are you feeling right now?", asked Axel.
"Chukiii.. CHukkki. Turiiiii!", it said in excitement.
It was still a kid so Axel could not use 'Mental communication' to properly communicate with it.
"Good, you seem to have grown stronger.", said Axel patting its head which surprisingly it let Axel do it.
"Yes, the lake is mysterious. If a fairy-type Pokemon was to use that lake well, then all of its stats and its power would rapidly rise. However, taking too much is always bad.
If it started to take more of it for more than 3 days, then its body would have a severe backlash. As of right now, it looks in top shape. You are very lucky.", said Gardevoir.
"Why so?", asked Axel.
"You are lucky cause the purity of the bloodline of your Togepi is very high. If it had lower purity, it could not have come out with no pain. If you train it properly, then it would be a very powerful Pokemon."
"Thanks.", said Axel feeling happy about his Pokemon. He had chosen the right Pokemon.
"It can rest here for 20 minutes and then it would have to inside again.", said Gardevoir and then left Axel and Togepi.
"Togepi, let's see how powerful you have become. Show me your moves.", said Axel.
###
Lance was feeling bitter looking at Axel and Togepi. He also had a Togepi with him. He had gotten this Pokemon at the same time Axel did. This Togepi had changed his life. It was a baby Pokemon at first and he never had a baby Pokemon.
Axel had warned him about the baby Pokemon and he was suffering from it right now. It was not even 3 months old and it had so much energy. It would never let him sleep peacefully and he was always fired because of it. But it also made him happy and somehow responsible.
The Togepi treated Lance as its parent and would trust him with everything. He also wanted his Togepi to go there and get the benefits of the lake. However, only one of them could go and Axel was taking this place as per the agreement.
He also didn't know if his Togepi would be okay to be there. It was not even 3 months old, so he felt that it could not handle the energy of the lake. He looked at his Togepi who was eagerly looking at the lake with anticipation. But its concentration was broken by other fairy type Pokemons in the forest that wanted to play with it. So, it first asked Lance for permission to play with them and then went to play with them.
For some reason, Lance felt very bad and guilty. Togepi treated him as a father and as a father figure, he wanted to give all the things to it. He knew that it also wanted to go there but it could not. Why was that so? Because he was weak.
If he was as strong as Axel or even stronger than Axel, then his Togepi would not have to suffer. Axel had told him the way he trained after this island, he was going to train with everything he got.
Axel was a very good friend of his but he was also a rival that he had to surpass.
###
Axel realized that the move mastery of Togepi had also increased by a bit. Its stats have naturally increased. It seemed better on all fronts. There was no change in its ability mastery but it was better than before.
After 20 minutes, it again went inside the pond. Axel now had some free time and he decided to talk to his friends now.
"So, did you guys find anything interesting here?", asked Axel.
"First tell us, are you okay?", asked Frank in a concerned manner.
"Yes, that Gardevoir was not lying. It did cure me but it pained me a lot."
"Good. You must have some sort of punishment for acting so stupid.", said Lance with a small laugh.
"So, did you guys find anything interesting here?", asked Axel again.
"Yes, we did. This place is very weird. Come here, let me show you.", said Lance in an excited voice.
###
"What is this?", asked Axel.
"We don't know. That Gardevoir was busy with you and others didn't answer anything to us. But it looks like everything is connected to that lake for some reason.", said Cody.
Axel could see a green-colored vein. It looked like a nerve pipe but it was cemented on the ground and it was straight. The end of the green-colored vein could not be estimated but Axel could see that it was going in the direction of the lake.
Axel took a deep breath and realized that the air here was a bit different. He could not point out why it was so but he could feel that it was more purer.
"Yes, the air here is also more pure than in the outside world. I am also feeling that my body is getting stronger than before.", said Frank.
Axel could not feel that his body was getting stronger but he could understand. He was an elemental rank human so, it would take a lot to make him stronger but Frank was just an uncommon rank human.
Axel wanted to look around and see how the fairy-type Pokemon lived here. Fairy-type Pokemons were still a mystery for him and he wanted to know about them.
He started to look around. They looked very happy and satisfied for some reason. They would also try to pull some pranks on one another and they looked very innocent.
He was also able to see the power of fairy-type Pokemon. It was a Togepi. After seeing the wonders of a fairy-type Pokemon, Cody also wanted to catch one.
So, he first asked Gardevoir about it. Gardevoir had no problem with it but it said that the Pokemon must willingly go to him. Cody thought that it would be a problem but he was wrong.
There were a lot of fairy-type Pokemons that wanted to go with him. It seemed like they wanted to see the world and they were also very curious. Finally, he decided to get a Togepi.
However, the parents of the Togepi challenged him. It was a pseudo-king rank Togekiss. Cody had some king-rank Pokemons but he didn't want to bully a pseudo-king-rank Pokemon with his king-rank Pokemon. So, he also used a pseudo-king rank Pokemon.
Then the battle happened. After seeing the battle, Kate and K also wanted to catch a fairy-type Pokemon. This was simply due to one reason. The fairy-type Pokemon in this place were simply too powerful.
