Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 916: Chapter 1133: Scared

As a trainer, encountering bloodshed was inevitable. Julian had grown up watching his father, a National-level Steel-type Gym Leader, battle challengers.

Although neither side in a gym challenge aimed to kill the opponent's Pokémon, the blood spilled and bones broken were far from insignificant.

And as he got older, John took him along to eliminate malicious Pokémon that caused harm.

To this day, Julian vividly remembered the first time he had witnessed a Pokémon die.

It had been an Advanced-level Vileplume that had poisoned an entire village, and John's Aggron had used Crunch, biting the Vileplume clean in half.

Blood and organs spilled everywhere, and because Grass-type Pokémon possessed incredible vitality, the Vileplume didn't die immediately.

It wailed in agony on the ground for a full half-hour before finally succumbing.

The sheer hatred in the Vileplume's eyes as it looked at John and Julian before dying was something Julian still remembered clearly.

After returning home that day, Julian showed no outward changes, but he had nightmares for several nights in a row and his mental state deteriorated significantly.

Love, seeing that, was deeply distressed. So when John came home, Love fiercely struck him several times with a rolling pin to vent for him.

Habit was a terrifying thing.

Once you grew accustomed to bloodshed and became used to witnessing lives fade, you no longer felt the same way you did at the beginning.

Just look at Julian—when he killed thirty thousand soldiers in Birmania, he didn't even blink.

It wasn't that he was cold-blooded; it was simply because he had seen too much and experienced too much.

Since Jade wanted to become a trainer, such training was inevitable. Now that there was an opportunity, she naturally had to observe more.

Although she was only three years old, Julian remembered that his own first exposure to bloodshed had been at the age of five.

Since Jade was his sister, and even if her future strength might never surpass his—there were still areas where she could excel beyond him.

For instance, witnessing bloodshed at the age of three—wasn't that two years earlier than him? That counted as a kind of surpassing, didn't it?

Right, he couldn't let his sister live forever in his shadow.

He had to give her a goal, something to strive for, so she could feel she had the potential to outdo him.

Jade: 'Oh, thank you so much.'

"Brother, Lucario won't kill Deoxys, right?"

Jade looked at Deoxys. At this moment, only its head and most of its torso remained intact, while its limbs had all been smashed apart by Lucario.

"It won't die. Lucario knows its limits, and Deoxys has extremely strong regenerative abilities. Regrowing severed limbs is a trivial matter for it," Julian said calmly.

Currently, Deoxys was in its Attack Forme. If it had been in its Defense Forme, it wouldn't have been beaten so badly by Lucario even in close combat.

In Attack Forme, its defense was at its weakest—even its Normal Forme had higher defense than this.

Lucario's ultra-high-speed close-range assault only lasted about a minute before it finally stopped.

It wasn't that Lucario couldn't continue, but rather that Deoxys now had no intact areas left for it to target.

The only complete parts remaining were its head and the crystal on its chest.

The crystal on its chest was obviously off-limits—what if Lucario accidentally cracked it?

As for the head, Lucario wasn't sure whether it could regenerate after being destroyed. If it couldn't regenerate, then wouldn't Deoxys just die?

"Can you regenerate your head?" Julian asked.

Deoxys beside him replied proudly, "As long as the crystal on our chest remains intact, our body can regenerate even if completely destroyed."

"Lucario, did you hear that?" Julian said.

"Luca!"

Lucario nodded.

Immediately, it formed an Aura Sphere and blasted Deoxys's head clean off.

Deoxys beside him: "..."

'So that's why you asked.'

Looking at its companion now lying on the battlefield without even a head, Deoxys suddenly felt a twinge of guilt toward it.

Although its companion's head had already been blown apart by Lucario, Deoxys still felt that its partner was staring at it with a resentful gaze.

This time Lucario truly stopped.

It stared in amazement at Deoxys's body, which was writhing and regenerating its flesh. It was the first time Lucario had witnessed such terrifying regenerative ability.

Perhaps because the body had been too severely damaged, the entire regeneration process took a full half-hour to complete.

After its body was restored, Deoxys's aura was noticeably weaker than before.

Julian activated his Probing Eyes to check, and discovered that this guy's level had nearly dropped to the peak of Pseudo-Champion tier.

Clearly, regenerating its body had consumed far too much energy, especially since it had already been in an injured state.

Julian handed Jade a recovery potion and said, "Take this to Deoxys."

"Mm."

Jade nodded and walked over to Deoxys with the potion Julian had given her.

There was no fear on her face.

"Deoxys, this is for you. It'll help you recover."

Deoxys turned its head away, clearly unwilling to acknowledge this little kid.

"Luca~"

Lucario looked at it.

"Hmph."

Deoxys reached out and took the potion from Jade's hand, downing it in one gulp.

As soon as the potion entered its system, the effect was immediate. Its depleted energy began to replenish, and soon most of its internal energy was restored.

Only then did the potion's effect fade.

'Good stuff!'

Deoxys looked at the empty potion in its hand, its eyes gleaming slightly. Then it glanced down at the little brat by its feet, composed its expression, and asked in a cold and arrogant tone, "Do you have more of this?"

"Luca~"

Lucario began to wonder if it had been too gentle with this guy.

"Cough… do you have any more?"

Its tone became noticeably softer.

"Mm, I'll go get you another one."

Jade nodded and skipped back over to Julian, taking another recovery potion from him.

After drinking two bottles of the potion, Deoxys's injuries were finally healed, and its level didn't drop to the Pseudo-Champion tier.

Julian then walked over to it and said, "From now on, behave yourself and serve as my sister's guardian Pokémon."

Pop! X2

As soon as he finished speaking, the Poké Balls containing Zekrom and Reshiram opened automatically.

The overwhelming aura of two late-stage First-class Legendaries surged outward.

Thud—

Deoxys dropped straight to its knees, staring in shock at the Black and White Dragons standing behind Julian.

'What in the world... Who exactly is this human?'

Being inside Poké Balls could only mean one thing—these two powerful First-class Legendaries had truly acknowledged this human.

Proud, aloof First-class Legendaries had actually agreed to become this human's Pokémon—and they didn't even mind that he had more than one First-class Legendary Pokémon.

Had the world changed while it was injured and asleep, or was it still dreaming?

"Why did you two come out? Look how scared you made it."

Deoxys: "…?"
