"Jord, is there anything else you'd like to say aloud at this moment? Your plans going forward, what your aims are? Anything?" another reporter jumped in, this one with a cameraman right behind her.
I was about to say no, when a thought appeared in my head and a wide smirk spread across my face.
"Well, there is one last thing I'd like to say," I nodded and pointed straight at the camera, "Hey Cross, you're watching aren't you? How'd you like my Charizard? Feeling like an idiot now after you tossed him away for thinking he was weak? Just goes to show how amazing he actually is when trained by somebody who isn't a complete scrub like you."
And with that said, I closed down any other attempts at questioning me by turning on my heel and making my way towards the pokemon centre.
My job here is done.
I showed how amazing me and my pokemon are, I hopefully embarrassed Hilda and I insulted Cross on live television being broadcasted to the entire world.
Truly my genius is astounding.

"Well, that's one way to end an interview," Lance commented as he followed me inside the pokemon center and I was actually astounded by my how empty it was, "Who is this Cross exactly?"
"Just a scrub," I shrugged and turned to him now that we were in the much quiet lobby of the pokemon center, "I actually ran into him when I got into Cerulean City and just before I met Hilda, he was a jackass that thought he was hot shit and tossed away his Charmander after I beat him in a battle using my Beedrill. Course I then caught the Charmander who is now my Charizard."
Lance clicked his tongue, "Sadly those types are while not common, not exactly rare either, fools that only see a pokemon for their current strength and ability and none of the patience required to properly raise them," he shook his head, "Though, blasting him on live television like that probably wasn't the most mature choice."
"Can't be helped, I'm a young brat after all, not even as old as most trainers are when starting out," I beamed brightly and innocently at him, "I simply don't know what I'm doing, I'm not mature yet after all."
"And I completely believe you," Lance nodded, snorting. He totally didn't, "Well it's not like you gave out his ID or anything, just his first name so there shouldn't be any harm. Moving on though, now that our battle has finished, let's finalize the deal over purchasing Aerodactyl's from you."
Mmm, yes.
Through the time we'd spent battling, I'd had plenty of time to finalize my thoughts on Lance and his clans offers and on my demands, "Beyond the first at a hundred million, I'm restricting your clan from breeding them for ten years," I stated, "So any others you purchase will be at forty million."
"Hmm, ten years huh?" Lance mused, stroking his chin and nodding, "A period of time that will be well enough for you to go down in the history books as the first owner of an Aerodactyl and the one that bred the species back into existence."
"That and I'll be widely known as the only person people can get the pokemon from over that period of time," I pointed out, "That's a lot of prestige to my name."
"True, though there will be those angry at you for it, for limiting the amount that can be bred and making it harder for others to get an Aerodactyl." Lance pointed out.
"Haters gonna hate, and most of them will just be common basement dwellers anyway," I snorted, "There's always gonna be people that hate you for being better than them and putting in effort to rise up the ladder and better yourself when they can't be bothered to do it themselves. Just entitled sad little shits."
"Well, you're not wrong I suppose, just odd you already understand that at your age, but then nothing about your achievements at your age make sense, so not worth thinking on," Lance shrugged, "Either way, those terms are acceptable, now we just need to find what pokemon can actually breed with Aerodactyl."
"No need to worry," I stole the famous line of an amazing bluenette, and best girl before I met Hilda, "I already know a bunch of pokemon Aerodactyl is compatible with. Honestly, it might actually have been fate that you turned up here to give me the offer, because you're one of the best bets for Aerodactyl's kids to be born even stronger."
And presented me with an opportunity.
"Oh?" Lance raised an eyebrow with interest, "I won't ask how you know, but the way you said that is telling enough. So Aerodactyl are compatible with some dragons then?"
"Yup," I bared my teeth happily as I crossed my arms and nodded my head, "Which leads me to my last demand.
Something you have a better chance of providing than anyone else. I want a strong Noivern or Altaria, preferably one that has had some training from you."
"A strong female Altaria or Noivern then, huh?" Lance mused, "I understand your thought process. Not only would you be getting a strong pokemon out of this, but it would ensure the baby Aerodactyl are born even stronger."
He cupped his chin for a moment, before nodding, "Fair enough, this works to both our benefits as well, it speeds up the time needed to find a compatible female and the starting point of the infants," Lance said aloud, "I've got a few of both species that aren't a part of my main team that I've been training up on the side, which would you prefer?"
Huh, as expected of the dragon master himself.
….Damn what one should I go for then? Altaria had a mega form and would turn fairy then and would be a good counter for other dragons and fighting types and such. But Noivern are amazing themselves as well, those sonar abilities could come in really handy.
But, I have to admit I was always more partial to Noivern. But if you get an Altaria it totally has to be female right? Aesthetics are important!

Unknown to Champion Lance, there was one more reason Jord had wanted a strong female Altaria or Noivern from him to breed with Aerodactyl.
"I can't be around to keep his punk ass in line all the time, so I'll get him a dommy mommy to do it for me, bwahahahahahahaha!" Jord laughed at his evil master plan.
