Chapter 849: Chapter 1066: Dragonite
Seeing the female Tyranitar take out a whole pile of treasures, Julian knew at once that it was absolutely serious—otherwise it would never have brought out the very items it had been saving to break through to the Champion tier.
For Pokémon at the Pseudo-Champion level, becoming a Champion was undoubtedly their greatest dream—especially for pseudo-legendaries like Tyranitar, and one whose strength was already at the late-stage Pseudo-Champion level.
From these two aspects alone, it truly had the potential to become a Champion.
But now, it was giving all the treasures it had painstakingly collected to his Tyranitar, meaning its own hope of becoming a Champion had grown extremely slim.
Julian didn't know how long it had taken this Tyranitar to gather all these treasures, but it certainly wasn't a short time—at least seventy or eighty years, no less.
Unlike him, it didn't have a Dowsing Machine to know exactly where the treasures were hidden.
So what it was giving away wasn't just treasures—it was its very chance at becoming a Champion.
Julian stated plainly, "I approve of this match."
His Tyranitar looked at him, as if asking whether it should accept these treasures.
Julian nodded. "It's a gesture of sincerity. You should take them."
Truthfully, these treasures weren't of much help to his Tyranitar, and it even looked down on them a bit. There was no helping it—after all, following Julian, it had enjoyed far too many good things.
But Julian still had his Tyranitar accept them. Refusing would only break the female Tyranitar's heart.
Watching his Tyranitar devour the treasures one by one, the female Tyranitar didn't show any sign of distress. Instead, it looked genuinely happy.
Its heartfelt gift had been accepted.
After eating all the treasures, Julian's Tyranitar's foundation only grew slightly more solid—not enough for its level to break through.
"Tar~"
Tyranitar looked at the female Tyranitar with much kinder eyes.
"Wait for me. Once I become a Champion, I'll come back for you."
Tyranitar made its promise.
"Tyr~"
The female Tyranitar nodded happily.
"Wuwu, so touching! Is this… what they call love?"
Celebi, the drama queen, somehow produced a handkerchief and was pretending to wipe its eyes. It couldn't help it—the tears just wouldn't come out.
"Tyranitar found a partner. That's so amazing!"
Jirachi exclaimed in admiration.
"Cos~"
Nebby in his arms was also delighted. It flew out of Julian's embrace and floated around the two Tyranitar happily, eventually landing on top of the female Tyranitar's head, and the female Tyranitar showed no intention of shooing it away.
After lingering a while longer, Julian prepared to leave. He said to his Tyranitar, "Tyranitar, let's go."
"Tar~"
Tyranitar nodded, then bid farewell to the female Tyranitar.
With a flash of red light, Tyranitar was returned to its Poké Ball.
"Once Tyranitar becomes a Champion, I'll bring it back to find you," Julian said.
"Tyr~"
The female Tyranitar nodded.
"One year."
Seeing the hopeful look in the female Tyranitar's eyes, Julian gave it a timeframe.
The female Tyranitar's previous actions had already won his approval, so he naturally didn't want it to wait too long in the desert.
The idea of raising an Lv. 83 Tyranitar to the Champion tier within a year would definitely be met with ridicule if spoken aloud.
In that amount of time, simply leveling up twice would be considered quite good—expecting a breakthrough to the Champion tier seemed like nothing more than a pipe dream.
But what others couldn't achieve, Julian could.
Wasn't that what having a "cheat" was all about—turning the impossible into reality?
Of course, if it were any other Pokémon, one year would likely be insufficient. But for his Tyranitar, it was absolutely possible—because it had consumed the Stone Marrow that accelerated growth and energy absorption.
It was precisely because of this that it had managed to catch up, advancing from the third tier to the current second tier.
First Tier: Champion-Level
Second Tier: Pseudo-Champion Level
Third Tier: Elite-Level
Most of his Pokémon were now in the second tier. Currently, only Salamence and Magearna remained in the third.
After bidding farewell to the female Tyranitar, Julian rode Dragonite and took off into the sky.
In the air, he could hear the roar of the Tyranitar, and a Poké Ball on his waist trembled gently.
"I really didn't expect the first one to find a partner would be Tyranitar," Julian said with a chuckle.
"As they say, 'When a man chases a woman, it's like climbing a mountain; when a woman chases a man, it's just a thin veil,'" Celebi chimed in, shaking its head.
Was this saying wrong? No, it was absolutely right.
If the female Tyranitar hadn't confessed directly, his own Tyranitar would likely have never considered it. In fact, it probably would've ended up fighting the other Tyranitar simply because it was another of its kind.
"Mainly because that female Tyranitar has good taste. She recognized that my Tyranitar is handsome, wealthy, has excellent character, strong power, and is definitely destined to become a Champion."
And rightly so! His Tyranitar was a Totem Pokémon. That status, within the Tyranitar species, was basically equivalent to being royalty.
"Dragonite, you need to work hard too."
Julian patted Dragonite. As one of the first to follow him, look—even the little brother Tyranitar had found a partner—so why were you still single?
As for Metagross, it was genderless, so there was no need to talk about it.
"Dra~"
Dragonite: "I like Milady Milotic."
"Get lost! No poaching from our own backyard."
Hearing that, Julian's face darkened a bit.
'Do you think you're the only one on the team who likes Milotic? Which of your Dragon-type juniors doesn't like her?'
'Besides, is it really Milotic you like? You just like her appearance. If it were a Jynx instead, let's see if you'd still say the same.'
'So shallow. Not at all like your trainer—I value inner depth.'
'When looking for a partner, how can you just focus on the face?'
'Of course, you also need to consider the figure—curvy in the right places—then personality, values, family background, parents, and so on. Of course, if the face is very attractive, then personality, values, family background, parents, etc., can be relatively... more leniently considered.'
All the Pokémon: ? (;乛_乛) ?
Seeing Dragonite looking a bit depressed, Julian felt his earlier words might have been too harsh. So he gently said, "It's mainly that Milotic doesn't like you. Look at your belly. If you were still a Dragonair, Milotic would probably like you."
Those words of comfort were worse than no comfort at all. 'What's wrong with my belly? Which Dragonite doesn't have a big belly? Those without a belly are the ugly ones!'
Besides, it had already evolved; It couldn't just devolve back into a Dragonair.
It could only be said that it and Milotic hadn't met at the right time.
Julian had always felt that Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite weren't really of the same evolutionary line.
The first two had long, slender bodies, but by the time they became Dragonite, they suddenly grew limbs and their body became bulky.
Just by appearance alone, Dratini, Dragonair, and Milotic seemed more like they belonged to the same evolutionary line.
