Chapter 908: Chapter 1125: Unown
Julian had no idea that his donation of ten billion would cause such a huge sensation. Some enthusiastic netizens had even started calling him the "Billionaire Philanthropist."
After completing the daily mission, Julian immediately used the Unown Guidance Card. The next second, a map appeared in his mind, with a flashing red dot marked on it.
Presumably, this red dot represented the location of an Unown.
"It's in Lake City?"
Looking at the red dot on the map, Julian saw that it was located in the northern part of Lake City, though it was still some distance from his home.
"Salamence!"
Julian called out to Salamence, who was resting in the backyard. The latter immediately opened its eyes.
Mounting Salamence, Julian headed toward the northern part of Lake City. At Salamence's speed, they arrived in about ten minutes.
"It's at the bottom of the lake."
Looking down at the lake below, the location of the Unown was clearly somewhere beneath the water. At the same time, the Unown inside Julian's body began to stir restlessly.
The feeling was unmistakable—there had to be a stone tablet containing a sleeping Unown somewhere at the bottom of the lake.
This lake was named Suicune Lake.
A hundred years ago, this lake had been heavily polluted, causing the Pokémon living in it and near it, to constantly fall ill and even die.
Eventually, Suicune, the Messenger of the North Wind, appeared and purified the lake with its cleansing power.
From that point on, the lake became known as Suicune Lake.
In fact, many cities across Drakoria—and even in other countries—had similar lakes named after Suicune.
This Legendary Pokémon wandered all over the world, appearing in many countries and naturally helping them purify their lakes and rivers.
Suicune Lake could be considered one of Lake City's more famous scenic spots.
There were many people along the shore, and even quite a few boats drifting across the lake.
So when a pseudo-legendary Salamence suddenly appeared above the lake, it immediately drew a lot of attention.
Before long, people recognized the figure sitting on Salamence's back.
"It's my husband!"
"Damn, have some shame! Did Champion Walker agree to that?"
"Champion Walker's Salamence looks incredibly cool!"
"Why did Champion Walker come to Suicune Lake?"
The tourists all pulled out their phones, snapping photos of Julian and Salamence. Many people waved at him from below, shouting his name excitedly.
"Metagross, move everyone back to shore," Julian said to Metagross beside him. There were quite a few people boating on the lake, and with them there, he couldn't proceed with what he needed to do.
"Meta~"
The next second, the people who had been boating suddenly panicked as they realized they were floating into the air, along with the boats beneath them.
Metagross telekinetically lifted the boats and tourists and gently moved them back to the shore. Then it unleashed a wave of psychic power, causing the lake surface below to slowly sink inward.
Within a few seconds, the sinking lake surface revealed the lakebed.
A few Magikarp that hadn't managed to swim away were still flopping around on the muddy bottom.
Using psychic to float down, Julian quickly spotted an ancient stone tablet, half-buried in the mud.
"How did this thing end up at the bottom of the lake?" Julian muttered to himself.
Ancient stone tablets weren't particularly rare—almost every Ruin had them—but throwing one into a lake seemed excessive.
After all, these relics were considered ancient artifacts. On the open market, they usually started at millions in value.
Since it was at the bottom of the lake, there was no need to worry about someone seeing him.
As Julian pulled the stone tablet out, responding to the call of the Unown within him, the Unown that had been sleeping in the tablet for who knew how long slowly began to emerge.
It must have been asleep for so long that it was still a bit dazed.
"It's Y."
Looking at the shape of the Unown, Julian murmured softly.
"Hey, little guy. Wake up."
He gently tapped it with his palm.
The Unown seemed to regain some clarity. After glancing at Julian a few times, it suddenly shot forward and plunged into his chest.
The moment it entered his body, Julian suddenly felt the world around him spin, and his body swayed a few times.
In his hazy vision, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Metagross, Gengar, and Salamence looking at him with panicked expressions.
Then—
Everything went dark.
Julian lost consciousness.
---
The tourists on the shore were curious about what Julian was doing at the bottom of the lake.
"Could there be some treasure at the bottom of the lake?" someone joked.
"Can't rule it out—why else would Champion Walker be here?"
"I'm so curious about what he's doing. I really want to go over and take a look."
"Salamence is still hovering up there watching. If you dare go closer, it'll definitely attack you."
While people were still talking, many suddenly noticed that the Salamence in the air let out an anxious roar and dived in.
The next second—
BOOM!
The lake surface exploded upward.
Metagross emerged from the water, carrying Julian, and then immediately vanished.
Although the whole thing happened in the blink of an eye, many sharp-eyed spectators still caught it, and some had even been recording with their phones the entire time.
Combined with Salamence's panicked roar earlier and Metagross carrying Julian out, and judging by Julian's limp posture, it seemed he had fainted.
"Something happened to Champion Walker!"
"His head was tilted just now—did he faint?"
"What exactly is at the bottom of the lake that could make Champion Walker faint?"
"This is bad… I have a feeling something big just happened."
"I need to post this online. This is definitely going to get huge attention!"
But just as that person was about to post it online, his phone was suddenly snatched away by his friend.
"Are you crazy? Have you thought about the consequences of posting something like this online?"
His friend stared at him with a stern expression.
The latter was momentarily stunned, then a look of fear dawned on his face.
"You're right… thank goodness you stopped me, or I would've made a huge mistake."
"But what about the others—"
He looked at the other tourists around them.
He wasn't the only one with this idea; many had already posted on their respective social media platforms.
There were simply too many witnesses.
Even if he didn't post it, someone else definitely would.
And even if some people realized the potential consequences, many would still upload it for the sake of attention and views.
"We can't control them. But as long as we don't post it ourselves, that's enough," his friend sighed after looking around.
"I just hope Champion Walker is alright," the man said worriedly.
"He'll be fine. Champion Walker is able to catch First-class Legendaries. Even if he fainted, he'll probably wake up soon."
"What I hope now is that this doesn't cause too much panic."
As he spoke, he suddenly heard the excited—and greedy—voices from nearby.
"Maybe the treasure in the lake hasn't been taken yet! Champion Walker came out empty-handed!"
In an instant, several people released their Pokémon and sent them toward the lake.
