章 36: There's no need to hold back
'The next goal is to let Beldum take charge of Eevee duty now and let it develop into an adult and evolve into Metang as soon as possible,' Jun thought.
Yes, in the next plan, Jun plans to start with Beldum instead of his Eevee. The exposure of Shiny Beldum is too risky for Jun, who still doesn't know much about how this world works. Even though he already knows the basics, what about the criminal organizations?
The recent appearance of Team Rocket at Silph Co. served as a wake-up call for Jun so that he can't just take things slowly. Even if his family is powerful, no one can guarantee that they can always protect him 24/7. He can only depend on himself now.
Moreover, His recent visit to school also showed him that other wealthy second-generation kids have powerful Pokemon too, like Gible, Larvesta, Larvitar . This made him realize that they must come from similarly privileged backgrounds. The rest of the Pokemon, although not as precious as Pseudo-Legendary ones, are almost the same, such as Riolu, Aron, Axew, etc.
Jun checked his phone and saw a new message regarding his upcoming class schedule and his classmates' information. He learned that each class will have a maximum of ten students, and they will be taught by a renowned teacher.
"Hmm," Jun pondered the situation with his Shiny Beldum. The Shiny Beldum was different from an ordinary Beldum. If it was before he would have been hesitant to release it. But after hearing "Viridian," terms from the Team Rockest goons, maybe they will go there for a period and leave Saffron City for a while?
With the possibility of Team Rocket focusing their attention on Viridian City, Jun saw an opportunity. This is his chance to push Beldum; if Beldum evolves into Metang, everything will become different. With the strength and abilities of a Metang, he would have a much better chance of protecting himself and those around him.
Jun was lost in thought when his mother's voice jolted him back to reality. He quickly made his way over to her. Jun's mother had arrived in Saffron City the day before to help him prepare for school
"What's wrong, Mom?" he asked.
His mother looked at him with a serious expression. "Jun, once you start school, it's important that you don't draw too much attention to yourself. Don't hide your true identity, but don't be too showy either. Just let things unfold naturally."
Jun was taken aback by his mother's words. "Why are you telling me this now?"
"Remember what happened to your aunt," his mother said, her voice tinged with sadness. "Your father and I will always be there to support you, but it's best if you can protect yourself as well. What mother wants to say is, don't be afraid of trouble, but don't go looking for it either." Jun mother said
Jun nodded, remembering what happened to his aunt until she stopped becoming a Pokemon trainer. Jun took a deep breath. Yes, there's no need to hold back.

In the next morning, Jun did his training at Champ Dojo.
DING
'ID 34112, Trainer Jun, your time is almost up. Your result is 9 matches, 9 wins, 0 losses,' the announcement rang out.
"Phew," Jun took a deep breath. This morning he deliberately woke up early to train with Eevee before finally going to the Dojo for a sparring battle with Beldum, which had now reached level 18.
Jun looked at the person in front of him and smiled, ready to start the battle. Since this was his last battle, he wanted to finish it as soon as possible.
"Begin!" After the referee waved the flag, both trainers immediately commanded their Pokemon.
"Go, Magnemite!"
"Go, Beldum!"
Beldum and Magnemite locked eyes and took their stances.
"Magnet~"
"Bel~"
There was no need for either the two Pokemons to hold back, as they both had similar characteristics.
The referee sitting in the middle felt a lump form in his throat as he saw the dazzling sight of the flashing Beldum. "Shiny Beldum," he said in a hoarse voice, with an Adam's apple bobbing like a Rollout.
As someone who had served as a referee for several years and had seen countless Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon, he was taken aback by the rare sight before him. The glimmering metallic hue of the Beldum's body was like nothing he had ever seen before. Countless thoughts flashed through the referee's mind as he struggled to maintain his composure. He raised his eyes to stare at Jun, who was standing on the other side of the arena, his own eyes focused intently on the battle ahead.
