Capítulo 89: Chapter 89: Wanted Criminal
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony was held at the venue, Most of the trainers came to participate, and looked at the three people standing on the podium with admiration.
Julian stood among them, expressionless, clutching the gleaming golden trophy that signified his victory in the individual competition.
The trophy, half a meter tall, gleamed under the lights, shaped like two hands clasping a Poké Ball. It bore the inscription: "86th Yale Provincial High School League, Individual Champion, Julian."
"That trophy can't be pure gold, right?"
Under the stage, Will looked at Julian's golden trophy. Because of the lighting, the golden light of the trophy was even more dazzling.
"Trophies are always gilded," replied Han.
"Pure gold? Only if you win the Elite Challenge and become one of the Top 18 Elite Trainers. Then the Drakorian Trainer Association will give you a pure gold trophy."
While the Yale Provincial High School League was a notable event, the senior management viewed it as mere child's play.
The primary aim was to identify talented trainers and to let these students who have just become trainers not long ago to foster healthy competition among each other.
This will help them increase their strength faster.
"Ding."
"Hidden Mission Complete: First Trophy (First Prize)."
"Reward: A ten-minute Elite experience card (available only for Pokémon below level 70)."
The voice in his head made Julian, who had no expression at first, smile a little, this was really an unexpected gain.
'Although I have the protection of an Elite Alakazam, after all, that's grandpa's Pokémon, and it will not come out unless I'm really in danger.'
'If my own Pokémon also has Elite-level combat power, although it will only be short-lived, it can be used as a trump card for a comeback at a critical moment.'
The ceremony concluded in about half an hour.
"Julian, which cyan-qualified Pokémon will you ask for?"
On the way back to the hotel, Shen asked curiously, Will, Han, and Zosh also raised their ears.
The rewards for the first place in the Yale Provincial High School League were very generous.
The first-place prize included a cyan qualified Pokémon egg, a Yale province ticket for an advanced secret realm, and 80 million in resource exchange.
"I haven't decided yet,"
Julian shook his head, he now had four Pokémon, and he actually wanted an Aron for the fifth one, but he had yet to find an Aron with cyan qualification.
If he asked the Yale Province Trainer Association, they probably also didn't have one, so he was wondering whether to temporarily change his choice of the fifth Pokémon.
He also thought about the advanced secret realms in Yale Province. There are eight advanced-level secret realms in the entire Yale Province, and only two being special secret realms like Oreburgh Forest, which was guarded by the Walker family.
The other being the Grassy Green Grassland.
Advanced Secret Realms are suitable for trainers who are pseudo-Elite to Elite level. With Julian's current strength, although he can fight pseudo-Elites, Julian knew to maximize the benefits he should wait until he reached pseudo-Elite status to explore them.
There was no time limit for tickets anyway , so he was not in a hurry.
After returning to the hotel, Julian opened the Drakorian Trainer Association app to check his resource exchange balance—80 million had just been credited.
Although there was no shortage of money, but more money always makes people happy.
"Diamonds, three hundred pounds"
"Broken Dragon Fang"
He spent the entire 80 million resources on these two items, with diamonds costing 50 million and Broken Dragon Fang being 30 million.
The Broken Dragon Fang was from a pseudo-Elite dragon-type Pokémon, the price of a complete one was more than 100 million and an Elite-level one was even more valuable.
The Broken Dragon Fang was naturally not for Dragonair to hold, but to grind it into powder and let Dragonair eat it, which can more or less increase the dragon energy in Dragonair.
Post-shopping, he checked WeChat, receiving congratulatory messages from classmates and his teacher, Sam.
As he scrolled through Moments, Julian turned into a like madman again, and liked each one by one.
"I lost the Phoenix Cup qualifier. Am I really unfit to be a Trainer?"
*Like.*
"The leaves on my Oddish are turning yellow; any ideas?"
*Like.*
"Hahaha, I touched the trophy! are you guys Envious?"
This one was from Will, and the picture showed him holding Julian's trophy.
*Like.*
"My child won the championship, yet he didn't even call to share the good news—really?"
This was from his mother, Tina, with a proud picture of Julian on stage.
*Like.*
"My grandson is a champion!"
This was obviously his grandfather John, and the picture was exactly the same one as Tina's.
*Like.*
"Ding"
"Temporary Mission: Capture an A-level wanted criminal"
"Reward: Top quality Steel-type Energy Cube X20, Top quality Dragon-type Energy Cube X10."
Top quality energy cubes, one box was 2,000 points, very expensive. Usually Julian only buys it once every two weeks, and that too only one box.
The prospect of such valuable rewards made Julian leap from his bed.
The more lucrative the mission, the tougher it was likely to be.
A-level wanted criminals were definitely pseudo-Elite, while S-level ones were Elite.
A fast-moving red dot appeared in his mind, indicating the location of the wanted criminal.
"Dragonair, let's go!"
He called, opening the window. Dragonair understood, soaring out into the night.
With newfound courage from his Mega Pallet Town physique, Julian leaped after him, catching a brief moment of panic as he free-fell before Dragonair caught him.
"Whoo! So Exciting!"
Julian exclaimed, feeling the rush of adrenaline. He quickly forgot his fears of heights, focusing on the mission ahead.
"Head to the White River Forest in the east"
He instructed, noting that the red dot had paused in the forest's midst.
White River Forest was not a part of Lake City, but a unclaimed wild forest, home to numerous wild Pokémon. The Forest was vast, covering 5,280 square kilometers, which was equivalent to the area of a prefecture-level city.
There were four wild forests like this in the entire Yale Province. In terms of area, White River Forest ranks third while fourth in danger rating.
Though Julian had traversed wild forests before, but they were all small, unlike this one.
However, The red dot lingered near the forest's edge, suggesting the criminal was wary of venturing deeper in the forest at night.
The wilderness at night can be dozens of times more dangerous than during the day.
With Dragonair's wings expanding, they accelerated.
Julian grabbed Dragonair's neck tightly, lowered his body, and looked at Ground below. He couldn't help but fear heights, thinking about whether to make a custom Flying seat.
