Shiranui spotted a shiny Axew striking a berry tree with its tusks to get a berry, only to get two. Axew spotted him and showed off its strength by crushing a Persim Berry with its tusks. "You must be strong to crush a Persim Berry," he commented. Axew beamed with pride, pointed to the other Persim Berry it procured and gave Shiranui a challenging look. Deducing what Axew was trying to communicate, Shiranui sent Ikari out. "Ikari, show Axew here your own strength," he called, "Give that Persim Berry a Body Slam!" The shiny Shelgon jumped into the air and used her spherical body to crush the Persim Berry in question, leaving a splattered mess both where it was and on Ikari's underside. Not taking being one-upped lying down, Axew charged at Ikari and gave the Shelgon a First Impression. "Ikari, give Axew a Dragon Pulse!" Ikari retaliated by conjuring an iridescent ball of energy and firing a dragon-shaped beam of energy, blasting Axew into exhaustion. "Great Ball, go!" Shiranui threw a Great Ball and the shiny Axew was drawn in. He waited with bated breath for the ball to stop shaking and after ten seconds, the Great Ball pinged a successful capture.
He named his new friend Ono and found out the shiny Axew was female and had the Mold Breaker ability. He puzzled over why every Pokémon he caught in Galar except for his Thievul was female; not counting Sogekishu as he was given to him as a starter.
