"What kind of bet are we talking about?", asked Kate with a hint of excitement. Axel found out that she really loves to gamble. She spent millions of dollars in the pawnshop to get some items.

"We will go there and if we find some resource-type place or some valuable treasures, then that treasure or place would be mine. You cannot get anything for it but you guys would have to help me in getting it.", said Axel.

"What if we don't find it? What will we gain?", asked Kate.

"Then all the aeus energy that I have gathered in my suit would be distributed to all of you."

"Dude, do you really want to do that? I mean you came here for aeus energy and you want to give it all?", asked K.

"Yes, I don't care about these armors. I feel that my Pokemons are stronger even without them."

"If you really want to bet then why don't you bet your fairy-type resource place? I will also bet my fire-type resource place.", said Kate. Her eyes were glowing as if she was about to earn something big.

"Kate!! What are you doing? That volcanic mountain is not only for you but for the family. You cannot bet on it. What if we lose it?", shouted Ryker.

"But what if we win? We will gain 2 resource type places."

"You should stop betting and gambling. We are not betting on this. If you really want to do it, then ask the leader about it first.", said Ryker.

Kate instantly felt sad after hearing about it. She was going to earn another resource-type place for her family but this idiot was blocking her.

"Don't worry, I am not going to bet my resource place.", said Axel.

"Why?", asked Kate.

"I don't care about that armor but I care about that place. So, do we have a bet?", asked Axel.

They looked at each other. They had nothing to lose. They had time and even if Axel found a resource place which was very unlikely, they already had their resource-type place with them. So, they were not losing much even if they lost but if they won, they would be gaining something substantial.

All of them agreed to the bet.

Axel then called out Gogoat.

"I will be going fast. You guys also call out your Pokemons. If you feel uncomfortable tell me and we will stop for some time.", said Axel.

All of them called out the Pokemons that could carry them. Axel had not used this strategy before because before, their body was very weak and it was not adapted to aeus energy. So, if they were to run with their Pokemons, they may not be able to handle the pressure of aeus energy.

However, now it was different. Axel's body stat had also grown and all of them were now used to this type of energy.

The general direction of flying-type resource place was towards the end of the south side.

###

It had been 3 days since they were running. They had to take multiple breaks but they were still progressing very fast compared to before.

Since, Axel had recovered from his injuries, he was now training his body and skill while also monitoring his Pokemon progress. Axel could see that the attack stat of Bagon was very close to reaching A rank. It was now in B++ rank for quite some time.

He wanted Bagon to have its evolution condition as fast as it could.

After 3 days of running, they had finally reached the place where the flying-type resource place was supposed to be.

"So, for some unknown reason, your instinct tells you that there is a resource-type place in this area?", asked Ryker with a hint of anger.

"Don't think that it is just a hoax. Axel's instincts are very accurate. I feel that we have lost the bet.", said K with a sigh.

"Are you for real? This guy thinks that his instinct he telling him something that is not even there and you believe it?", asked Ryker. He just could not believe that K would be so gullible.

"You have not seen the power of Axel's instinct. I have. Why don't we make a bet too?", asked K.

"Oh, and what type of bet are we looking for?"

"If I am right, you will have to give me 10 billion Poke dollars as payment.", said K.

"And what if you lose?"

"What do you want? I don't have 10 billion Poke dollars with me."

"Then why don't you tell me how you evolved your Golbat to Crobat?", asked Ryker.

"Axel was the one who discovered it. I cannot bet it without asking his permission.", said K.

"You can use that as a bet.", confirmed Axel.

"Ok, then the bet is set. Let's shake hands.", said Ryker and shook hands with K.

K had known Axel for some time now. As much as he could remember, Axel's instinct had never been wrong. Axel was also not stupid. If Axel was betting the aeus energy, then he must have some information about the treasure that he was looking for.

K just wanted to make some money out of it.

Since it was a flying-type resource place, he called out Pidgeot and Charizard. Both of them were flying-type Pokemons.

"I feel that there is a flying-type resource place near here. Search around and tell me if you feel something.", said Axel.

Axel knew that these types of resource places were well hidden but they were only hidden in places that corresponded to their type.

'It is a flying type resource place, so the place is in the sky?', thought Axel.

That could be possible.

"Charles, Flappy, come over here.", said Axel.

"Look around and find someplace where the speed of the wind is high. Also, try to fly high in the sky. I believe that that the place is high in the sky.", said Axel.

Others were just looking at Axel's craziness. He called out almost all of his Pokemons and told them to search. They didn't know what he was searching or where he was searching. It search was pointless. But seeing such a serious face of Axel, some of them started to believe that he might win this bet.

###

After an hour,

Charizard came rushing down to the ground and landed near Axel.

"What did you find?", asked Axel.

"There is a pocket space in that cloud in the sky, Flappy is already inside of it.", said Charles.

Axel gave an evil smile when he heard it. He then turned to look at his friends who were all shocked except for K.

They could not believe that a hunch such as this could be true. If that pocket space was a resource-type place like before then they would be losing a lot. Axel would be gaining another resource-type place.

At first, they didn't think that they were losing much cause they were almost sure that there was no treasure at the end of the South but now they felt that they had lost a bit of time.

"So, are you guys going to help me or not?", asked Axel. He knew that he had finally found the place and he was ready to claim it.

As per the bet, they had to help him claim it and it would fully belong to him. Axel was really praising his smartness. If he had told all the details about Talonflame to others, then all of it would be shared.

All of them took out their flying-type Pokemons and started to fly in the sky. The pocket space was not visible but Charizard pointed out that it was in the middle of that cloud.

They slowly started to move and suddenly, all of them disappeared.

###

Unlike the calm and comfortable environment of the fairy-type resource place, this place was very windy. The wind was not polluted with sand or dust but Axel was having a hard time opening his eyes perfectly.

Then the pressure descended.

Bang.. Bang.. Bang... Bang....

All of them knelt down on the ground from the pressure. The pressure was not only coming from the aeus energy but also from the wind. Axel felt that somehow the wind had been mixed with aeus energy.

The density of the aeus energy was the highest they had every before. Axel didn't know where they were and what was happening cause he could not even open his eyes.

He directly sat down, used his aura coat to defend himself from all the pressure, and told Pidgeot and Charizard to protect themselves.

Unlike others, flying-type Pokemons did not have so many problems in this type of environment. Some of them were even feeling happy by coming here.

It took Axel around 10 hours to continue meditation to be comfortable in this environment. Even though he could handle the aeus energy now, the wind pressure was still something he could not handle.

But, since his 'Aura coat' had leveled up to 55, he could use it to open his eyes and walk normally.

###

When he was finally able to open his eyes, he was surprised by the view. The place was very different from what he had imagined. Right now, he was on the top of one of the branches of the tree. The branch was very thick. It was so thick that even if Axel were to roll on the branch, he would not fall off.

The tree was very wide and big. He could not see the end of its height. It looked like a world tree described in fantasy novels. But the problem was that there were many trees similar to it around him.

Axel could not see the ground as it was blocked by clouds. He turned around and saw that all of his friends were deeply meditating to control the aeus energy.

"Charles, come over here!!!", shouted Axel. Due to the wind pressure, the sound was also partially blocked, so he had to shout to Charizard who was flying near him.

"What is on the ground?"

"The ground is barren with hard rocks. I could also see some ice in the right direction."

"OK, what is the wind pressure on the ground? Is it higher than here?", asked Axel again.

"No, the wind pressure is far lower than here but as you move up, the pressure would increase.", replied Charles.

Pidgeot was just right beside him guarding its trainer. Axel started to look around and realized that the Pokemons here had not greeted them. He had been to 3 places similar to this and all the time, there would be the leader of this place with its Pokemons waiting for him.

"Did you find other Pokemons around here?", asked Axel.

"Yes, all of them are in the ground. They seem to be waiting for us."

"Why are they waiting there for us?", asked Axel.

"I don't know. I wanted to talk to them but they looked very hostile and the leader was very powerful. So, I didn't go there and returned."

This place was getting more interesting by the minute. First was the wind pressure. When they were inside the volcano, they didn't feel the pressure of heat. Then there was this unusual place. Every place that they went to was unusual but this place was on another level.

Finally, the hostility of the Pokemons here. First of all, they didn't come here to greet them. Then Charizard said that they were looking hostile. Axel could say for sure that this place was more dangerous than others and it was also different.

"Let's wait for others to recover then we will go to the ground. I want you and Pidgeot to be ready for anything. This place is not welcoming us.
