Inside Shangshan Building, Alex saw his quasi-god Pokémon reward. Although Larvitar's condition was poor, its talent wasn't high, and even its temperament wasn't as dominant as that of a desert tyrant.
Still, it was a quasi-god. In the real world, it's as destructive as a legendary Pokémon.
As for talent, Alex wasn't worried. He had the Shiny skin in his possession, capable of elevating Larvitar's talents to champion level.
But Alex was concerned about Larvitar's mentality and its challenging temperament—timid and lacking the domineering nature expected of a Tyranitar.
"Come back with me and be my partner," Alex said, accepting the school's gift without raising concerns over Larvitar's talent.
A quasi-god—this is the first Pokémon awarded to new students by the school in over 30 years.
"Kira!" Larvitar responded, accepting Alex's invitation. It was curious why Alex could understand it, and Alex exuded an aura that felt trustworthy.
Acceptance was its best outcome.
Alex picked up the Rock Ball and returned Larvitar to its Poké Ball. After some discussion with the leaders and leaving behind the three Shiny Pokémon he had promised, Alex left the office encouraged by the leaders.
Jamie followed, hesitating before speaking. Finally, she said, "Alex, if you have any questions about raising Larvitar, you can come to me. I'll do my best to help."
She could see that Larvitar's talent and physique were lacking, without the typical quasi-god demeanor. If not raised properly, it could even become a burden.
For Alex, Jamie decided to support this young genius recognized by Lance, an Elite trainer.
"Thank you, counselor," Alex replied with a smile. He sincerely appreciated her offer. Although her ability to help was limited, Alex accepted her kindness.
The Shiny skin could perfectly address Larvitar's talent problem.
And as for the temperament issue, **ADVERTISEMENT**
Charmeleon would teach Larvitar to be a monster! "My Charmeleon fears nothing, and with its confident attitude, it can surely influence an obedient Larvitar," Alex thought confidently.
Perhaps in time, Alex could cultivate a Character trait in Larvitar, such as stubbornness or bravery.
As they left the office, Jirachi spoke. "Alex, is it our new partner?"
Jirachi followed Alex all the way, remaining invisible, so she wasn't noticed by others.
"Yes," Alex confirmed. No matter how low a quasi-god's talent, it was still a quasi-god. Even gym leader-level trainers find it extremely difficult to purchase a quasi-god, often rejected due to insufficient authority.
To acquire a quasi-god, one needs sufficient status, either with official backing or as an Elite or champion. Otherwise, it's nearly impossible—except for someone like Alex.
"It seems a little timid," Jirachi observed. Compared to Charmeleon and Riolu, Larvitar was indeed a timid Pokémon.
"Jirachi," Alex began, "since Larvitar is our partner now, we shouldn't mock it. Instead, we should help it become confident and strong. Understand?"
Partners aren't for ridicule. It's okay to joke around, but not to insult.
"Got it, Alex," Jirachi replied, not upset by the gentle reprimand. She seemed to be planning something in her little head.
"Let's go back first," Alex said, eager to apply the Shiny skin to Larvitar, give it a Shiny appearance, and make a splash. The rarity of a quasi-god is well known worldwide, and Shiny quasi-gods are even rarer.
For example, Steven, the son of the Devon Corporation, has a Shiny Metagross. As for Ash's Shiny Rayquaza, it's a true god and not included in this category.
"Okay," Jirachi agreed, excited. **ADVERTISEMENT**
Near Peach Garden, which houses the freshmen dormitories, the area was usually crowded during mealtimes. But now, the roads were mostly empty. Like Alex's three roommates, most students had gone out to play or on dates, leaving the campus quieter.
Entering October, the weather was still hot. Alex held an umbrella—not for himself but for Jirachi.
Returning to the dorm, Alex eagerly called out Larvitar. Facing Larvitar's blank stare, Alex chuckled.
"Larvitar," he began, "you want to become stronger, right?" He aimed to inspire Larvitar's desire to grow stronger. But Larvitar seemed confused, unsure what "stronger" meant.
"Kira?" What is strong? What is strength?
Since birth, Larvitar had been brought to the Breeder house, fed power cubes without eating the stones it needed. Larvitar missed critical growth moments, impairing its talent and weakening its character.
Born underground, Larvitar needed to eat rocks and sand steadily to stabilize its talent, focusing and tempering its will to transform. But unscrupulous merchants dug it out prematurely, causing Larvitar to miss this developmental phase.
Now, Larvitar's heart needed mending and training.
"Maybe showing Larvitar videos of Tyranitar battles will help?" Alex mused. He wasn't in a rush to use the Shiny skin just yet. He had already planned the color scheme, but the current issue was more pressing.
"I heard Wendy's mother is a top breeder master. Maybe she can take a look," Alex thought, coincidentally planning to give Wendy the Shiny Nuzleaf.
