Chapter 914: Chapter 1131: Only One
"I hope you keep your words."
Deoxys had already stepped onto the battlefield, speaking with a slightly provocative tone.
Julian smiled faintly. "As long as you can defeat my partner."
With that, Julian tossed the Poké Ball in his hand.
"Luca~"
The Poké Ball opened, revealing the handsome and striking Lucario. Its ears twitched slightly, and its closed eyes slowly opened as it gazed ahead.

Lucario usually trained its Aura inside its Poké Ball, so its eyes were closed when it first appeared.
But when it opened its eyes and looked at Deoxys, the latter suddenly felt its heart tighten.
Deoxys: 'This feeling…'
It stared intently at Lucario. Having once possessed strength at the peak of the Champion-level, even though it had now fallen to the early-stage Champion, its instincts were still there.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have immediately realized that it was no match for Metagross.
Yet the feeling Lucario gave it now was equally intense, even though the aura it exuded seemed to be on the same level as its own.
"Why did you send out Lucario?"
When Julian's Deoxys saw that it was Lucario, it already knew that its companion had lost this match.
During this period, it had gained some understanding of its trainer's other Pokémon and knew that they were all monsters—their strength simply couldn't be measured by level alone.
Especially those Pokémon that had already broken through to the Champion tier.
"Who else then? Lucario just became a Champion. Do you want me to send out Aggron or the others?" Julian said somewhat unhappily, looking at this ungrateful fellow.
He had already taken Deoxys's feelings into consideration and sent out Lucario, who was relatively weaker among his Champion-level Pokémon. Otherwise, even if he didn't send Metagross, he could have just let Moltres come and teach it a lesson.
And yet Deoxys still wasn't satisfied.
Julian felt a bit miffed.
'You're my Pokémon, yet instead of taking my side, you're siding with an outsider.'
'Even if that outsider is your companion.'
But Deoxys clearly hadn't noticed Julian's irritation and continued, "You could have sent Milotic. I think it would have been quite suitable."
'Suitable, my foot!'
Julian became even more annoyed. Milotic was only at the peak of Pseudo-Champion level and didn't have a deep enough foundation. How could it fight this early-stage Champion opponent?
"Do you want me to lose?"
Julian stared directly at Deoxys.
"How could that be? Of course, I want you to win!"
Deoxys hurriedly said. It wasn't stupid—realizing that Julian had misunderstood, it quickly explained, "My companion here has a very strong sense of pride."
"Back then, because I became a First-class Legendary ahead of it, it went alone into the cosmos seeking a breakthrough, hoping to break the curse that only one member of a species can become a First-class Legendary. That's how it ended up being heavily injured."
Julian actually believed what it said, because Aura couldn't lie.
However, Deoxys's words also revealed another piece of information.
"'Only one member of a species can become a First-class Legendary.' Does that mean that in your species, only one can reach that level?"
"Yes. And not just our species—other Pokémon species are the same."
"How do you know that?" Julian asked, puzzled.
"When I became a First-class Legendary, that information automatically appeared in my mind."
Julian nodded, then looked at Jirachi in his arms and asked, "When you became a First-class Legendary, did you also receive information like that?"
Jirachi, however, shook its head. "No. When I first became conscious, I was already a First-class Legendary."
Julian froze for a moment, then thought of a possibility.
Whether it was Jirachi, Zekrom and Reshiram, or Kyogre and Groudon, they were all born from nature itself. There was only one of each in the entire world.
In other words, each of them alone represented an entire species.
Moreover, they were born as First-class Legendaries, which was different from Deoxys, who had become a First-class Legendary later.
So when Deoxys became a First-class Legendary, it received that information. But Jirachi and the Twin Dragons did not.
Only one Pokémon of a species could become a First-class Legendary.
So there was actually such a restriction.
"Meta!"
Metagross: "Among the Metagross line, the First-class Legendary will definitely be me!"
Metagross beside Julian, after listening to their conversation, said with absolute certainty.
"Absolutely. Among all Metagross, it will definitely be you."
Julian's expression was just as certain as Metagross's.
His Metagross was the strongest Metagross in the world. Even among the Metagross belonging to the past generations of the Walkers, no one could be its match.
Under his care, Metagross would definitely become a First-class Legendary.
"How did you become a First-class Legendary?" Julian asked curiously.
Although Metagross was still a few levels away from the peak of Champion tier, it would likely reach it within a few years. So Julian wanted to know and see if there was anything he could learn from it.
"I'm not entirely sure either," Deoxys shook its head, confusion still lingering in its eyes. "All I know is that while I was wandering through the universe, I was swallowed by a black hole. I thought I was definitely going to die, but I didn't. When I woke up, I had already become a First-class Legendary."
Even now, recalling that experience felt surreal to it.
Julian was speechless. So such a fortunate turn of events could happen?
It really proved the saying: 'Great misfortune can lead to great fortune afterward.'
This guy had directly become a First-class Legendary. That was indeed an immense and enviable stroke of luck.
