The battle ended.
Axel had Coral compensate the restaurant for the damages, and at the same time handed that waiter over to Officer Jenny.
It was worth mentioning that after Officer Jenny arrived, Coral still refused to give up. She tried to play the role of an innocent girl, attempting to accuse Axel in return of forcibly abducting a young woman.
Later, when the police station's power went out for half an hour, Coral finally understood that the villain's usual tricks simply didn't work on Axel at all.
Inside an interrogation room, Axel and Briar sat across from Coral.
Axel tilted his head slightly toward Coral, "Tell me about the function of that jade pendant. Be honest when you talk. Otherwise, Pheromosa's Electroweb hasn't lost power."
"I already checked it just now. There's no energy fluctuation on this jade pendant at all. What's the point of stealing it?"
After learning that this jade was the cause of her misfortune, Mela didn't take it with her.
Axel didn't stand on ceremony and directly kept the item.
If this piece of jade really had something to do with the Ancient Jade Fish, then he wouldn't treat Mela unfairly either.
Right now, the most important thing was prying open the mouth of Coral, a member of the Exploration Team, and uncovering the secret of the jade pendant.
"Hmph!", Coral forcibly controlled her body, which was spasming from the electric shock. She glared viciously at Axel, looking stubborn and unconvinced.
"This is a police station now. I don't believe you'd actually dare to kill me here!"
"A little electric shock doesn't scare me at all!"
"No matter what methods you bring out, this young lady will never give in!"
Axel laughed.
Did she really think this was an ordinary world?
Ever since the encirclement tactics appeared, he had become an honored guest of the entire Jenny family.
On the territory of the Officer Jennys, this dishonest little girl still wanted to use that kind of trick to pressure him?
Axel decided to give Coral a small taste of Aurient-style shock.
When the time came, he wouldn't even need Mewtwo to make this girl behave obediently.
"Teacher Briar, could you help me ask the Officer Jennys for some Tamato Berries, some cold water, and a standard belt."
"Also, I think there might be a problem with the wiring in this room. Ask them to turn off the power switch."
"What are you doing?", Coral hadn't spoken yet, but Briar already shivered instinctively.
Clearly, she must have remembered some unpleasant memory from a certain time in front of Blueberry Academy.
"It's nothing. I just saw that Miss Coral looks hungry, so I want to get her something to eat."
"Huh?", Briar was stunned. This development was completely different from what she had imagined.
Axel smiled and explained, "Eat a whipping."
Briar: "..."
She went out, and not long after returned with the items Axel had asked for. The power switch in the room was also cut.
Coral glanced at the leather belt in Axel's hand. Her arrogant face was full of disdain.
"You think that alone can make this young lady submit?"
Axel didn't bother talking more with Coral. He calmly stood up from his chair and gently crushed a Tamato Berry.
A choking smell immediately spread through the entire room, making Coral start coughing.
In the Pokémon world, berries each have different flavors.
And the Tamato Berry was the spiciest of them all.
Capsaicin comparable to devil peppers entered the water, quickly turning the cold water into an extremely concentrated chili solution.
A clear trace of panic appeared on Coral's face as she looked at Axel in fear.
"What are you doing? Don't let me drink that!"
"I… I won't open my mouth!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't open it," Axel kept smiling, but the smile now looked like something out of a demon to Coral.
He placed the basin of water in front of Coral, dipped the belt into it, and then lashed it fiercely across Coral's body.
Smack!
The leather belt soaked with Tamato berry juice sliced through the air and struck Coral's arm hard.
"Ah! It hurts!"
Coral's miserable scream instantly shattered the silence of the interrogation room.
At first, Coral only felt as if she had been whipped by an ordinary belt. It burned painfully, and she even wanted to grit her teeth and endure it, putting on a mocking expression.
But the very next second, the skin that had been struck felt as if it had been ignited. An extreme burning, needle-sharp pain exploded violently and rapidly seeped inward.
It wasn't just surface pain. It felt like countless red-hot needles stabbing into her pores.
Madly drilling into flesh and blood while constantly releasing a scorching sensation that drove people to the brink of collapse!
"So painful! So spicy!", Coral's body twisted violently, tears pouring out instantly.
If her hands hadn't been bound with chains, she probably would have jumped to her feet in pain and tried every possible way to fight Axel.
But this was only the beginning.
Axel's eyes didn't change at all. He didn't even bother soaking the belt again. Instead, he gently tossed out a Poké Ball.
A flash of light appeared.
A Pokémon resembling a half-transparent jellyfish, elegant in posture yet strangely inhuman, quietly floated in the slightly dim air of the interrogation room.
Nihilego!
Its translucent tentacles swayed lightly, emitting faint phosphorescent light that cast an eerie glow throughout the room.
Coral's crying stopped abruptly. She was stunned by this strange Pokémon she had never seen before.
A sense of foreboding washed over her like ice water, even temporarily suppressing the burning pain in her arm.
"Y-you… what are you going to do? Don't come over here!"
Coral stared at Axel in terror, feeling as if she was now completely controlled by fear.
And Axel was a living, breathing demon king… a complete psychopath.
Axel smiled and nodded, "Alright, then I won't come over. I'll let Nihilego go over instead."
Coral: "..."
She really wanted to say that wasn't what she meant.
Compared to being beaten to death by a Pokémon, she would rather choose being tortured by Axel, but Axel didn't give Coral the chance. His voice remained calm as he issued the command.
"Nihilego, Stealth Rock, then use Toxic!"
"Nihihihi~", Nihilego let out a hollow, chilling murmur.
Immediately afterward, countless tiny, razor-sharp rock fragments appeared around its body, almost impossible to see with the naked eye.
These fragments didn't shoot toward Coral. Instead, as if alive, they silently floated and scattered through every inch of space around her.
They formed an invisible field filled with deadly hidden spikes.
Next, a faint purple mist carrying a strange sweet fragrance seeped out from the tips of Nihilego's tentacles, drifting slowly toward Coral like a living poisonous snake.
Under the coverage of Nihilego's Stealth Rock, Coral felt that if she moved even slightly, spikes would pierce into her body.
Under these conditions, she had no way to dodge Nihilego's poison through movement.
Coral could only widen her eyes in terror, trying to hold her breath.
But the toxin seemed able to seep through her skin, spreading along her body.
She had only inhaled the faintest trace, yet she felt as if all her senses had suddenly been amplified and twisted.
Her skin became abnormally sensitive. Even the slightest movement of air felt like blades scraping across it. Even the friction of her clothes brought unbearable stinging pain.
