Axel imaginary scenarios part 2

>Franco
If Franco found out that someone just went out to Area Zero and caught a paradox for themselves, I assume that he would be concerned that person would reveal that no, you don’t have to give millions of dollars to Franco’s business when you can just get it yourself. Franco would seek out Axel for a “friendly” chat, to subtly threaten him to not tell a soul about the truth. Though Axel was going to lie about where he found it anyways, since that would mean he’s admitting to trespassing into Area Zero.

>Phos
Phos would be seeking out Axel to absolutely grill his ass on where he acquired the robotic Delbird. Axel would be lying through his teeth where he got it from “It just showed up from a weird hole in the sky.” but he would be telling the truth in that he has no idea who Franco is or that Macro Cosmos was even dealing with paradox pokemon.

>Bibi
Events would play out rather similarly, she would see Axel trying to sneak into Area Zero and challenge him as a “test” to see if he’s got the spacial awareness to not end up with a similar fate she faced. Axel’s abilities as a trainer are worse than his previous iteration, but his talent to avoid danger is far greater alongside the agility to avoid stray attacks, something that would contribute to why he was placed on the Ultra Beast Containment branch of the Aether Foundation. Even though he would lose, Bibi still sees that Axel is more then capable of looking out for himself in Area Zero. She’d still insist on exchanging numbers, not only as a “If you find yourself in trouble give me a call.” but also  “I’ll help you brush up your skills as a trainer!”. Axel would silently delete her number afterwards though, having the number of someone whose fourteen and not a family member is too concerning for him. He’d better not find himself back in Paldea any time soon though or he’d be getting an earful for ignoring all those calls.

>Koa
I don’t know if Koanon has ever mentioned Koa’s opinion on the Aether Foundation. Considering Koa’s story seems to take place after the events of Sun/Moon, I would have to assume that he knows that the Aether Foundation is in good hands now. Either way, while Axel certainly looks suspicious at first glance, Koa would soon come to realize that Axel’s desire to help pokemon is the real deal.

>Rana
Axel doesn’t know why Rana makes his heart feel the way that it does. He’s never had much interest in romance, social interactions are hard for him and the ones required to make love work seem like too much of a hassle. Maybe it’s because she lives all on her lonesome? Maybe it’s because he thinks her attitude is just a front to keep people away? Either way, Axel tries to not dwell on it too much. She lives in an entirely different space and time so it would never work out. He’d still like at least another chance at meeting with her, maybe saying something this time.
