Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 944: Chapter 1161: Siblings

After finally calming Love down, Julian then went to soothe Slowking as well. After finishing all that, it felt like he had fought several First-class Legendaries and collapsed on the sofa.

Just as he had expected, the daily mission failed, and the 300,000 points were gone too.

He had really been asking for trouble—he knew full well that Love wouldn't agree, so why did he even bring it up?

Back when he went to Imperial University, Love had no choice but to accept it, and even then, it had complained about why he hadn't chosen Lake University instead—a university right at their doorstep—so it could take better care of him.

Julian also knew that Love would never really hit him. From childhood until now, Love had never laid a hand on him—not even lightly.

The rolling pin earlier had just been for intimidation.

"Dee~"

Love placed a fruit platter in front of Julian.

Love: "You mustn't have thoughts like that again."

It gently tapped Julian's head, speaking with some dissatisfaction.

Still, it was quite satisfied with how Julian had admitted his mistake just now.

Love decided that later it would look up information about children's rebellious phases. Although its cub's rebellious phase had come a bit late, it had probably still arrived.

"I'll try."

Julian picked up a grape and tossed it into his mouth, sounding somewhat perfunctory.

Who knew if the System would assign another suicidal mission like this in the future?

"Dee?"(Try?)

Love took the fruit platter away from Julian, staring intently at him.

"No, no—I mean I won't! It won't happen again, Love, I promise!"

Julian quickly corrected himself.

"Dee~"

Love nodded, now convinced that its cub had indeed entered a rebellious phase. It needed to study up on it.

Love had even heard that children in their rebellious phase could develop bad tempers, even start smoking, drinking, or getting into fights. It had to prepare in advance.

If Julian really went astray—then it would have no choice but to take action.

Thinking this, Love's gaze toward Julian carried a faint chill… and a trace of anticipation even it didn't realize.

Julian: 'Why do I suddenly feel cold?'

After lunch, Julian mounted Reshiram and headed straight toward that uninhabited island in the North Pacific.

"It's not even two yet… I came a bit early. Should've had Reshiram fly slower."

The agreed time was three in the afternoon, so Julian had clearly arrived ahead of schedule.

If it weren't for the strange look Love kept giving him at home, Julian wouldn't have practically fled right after lunch.

At the very least, he would have left around two o'clock.

As Julian arrived, Deoxys also appeared beside him.

"How is it?" Julian asked.

Last night, he had sent Deoxys to this island to check whether Organization Y had set up anything in advance.

"It's safe. The strongest Pokémon on this island is only at the Elite-level," Deoxys said.

Its psychic powers continuously scanned the entire island like a radar, confirming that Organization Y hadn't made any preparations.

It had even checked the native Pokémon living on the island—the strongest among them was only at the Elite-level, nothing capable of causing trouble.

"No one lives here, right?" Julian asked.

Even in this era, there were still some remote, isolated places where primitive tribes existed.

"No."

"But the people you're waiting for—they've already arrived."

"They're here? Where?" Julian asked.

Deoxys pointed in a certain direction.

As if aware that Julian had arrived, five people emerged from that direction.

"Champion Walker."

The young woman in the middle spoke.

Her voice was exactly the same as the Master Julian had spoken with over the phone.

"I didn't expect the Master of Organization Y to really be a woman—and a rather ordinary-looking one at that. Hmm… average figure too."

Julian sized her up and came to that conclusion.

Of course, he didn't believe she was showing her real appearance. The face was probably fake—and maybe even the person herself wasn't real.

"I'm not as tall and handsome as Champion Walker, and I even heard that you have eight-pack abs—I'd like to see them sometime," the woman said, unbothered, even licking her lips.

"With that face of yours, you're definitely not getting a chance."

Julian shook his head. He was definitely someone who cared about appearances—there was no way he'd be interested in such an ordinary woman. Who knew, even her gender might be fake.

"That's quite a pity," the woman said, shaking her head.

Julian frowned slightly, because he could actually sense a trace of genuine regret from her.

'Damn, she's serious?'

However, he couldn't read her thoughts.

The Seven Aperture Stone within him had lost its effect—this woman seemed to be protected by some kind of energy.

"Where are the people I asked for?"

Julian didn't want to waste any more time talking.

"Clap, clap."

The woman lightly clapped her hands, and the next moment, a Cofagrigus appeared.

As the Cofagrigus opened, a bound man and woman fell directly to the ground.

"These two are the ones you wanted, Champion Walker."

She pointed at the unconscious pair.

"I'll have to verify that. Who knows if you just grabbed two random people to fool me."

"And how does Champion Walker intend to verify it?"

"Simple. I'll have my Gengar devour one of their souls and obtain their memories. That way, I'll know whether what you said is true or not."

"Mm, that's fine."

The woman nodded.

Julian could guess why she had agreed to it so readily; any core secrets of the organization that really mattered were probably only know to her. And the base the two of them worked at, should already be empty, as for anyone who worked there with their real face—they would have been dead long ago.

One of her subordinates picked up the unconscious woman and tossed her directly to Julian's side.

"Gen~"

Gengar appeared and swallowed the woman's soul in one go. The memories of the woman's entire life then flashed before Gengar's eyes.

"You should leave—go somewhere far from Drakoria. And remember, never think about revenge."

"Remnants of the Wynn family, huh? Would you like to join our organization?"

"The Walker family is getting stronger and stronger. How can we possibly avenge our family like this?"

"Little brother, train hard. With your talent, you'll definitely become a Champion one day. Once you do, you might even become the leader of Organization Y."

"With the help of Organization Y, we'll have a chance at revenge."

"Damnit—Auntie is dead"

All of the woman's memories surfaced in Gengar's mind.

"Gen~"

Gengar nodded at Julian, indicating that the woman's identity checked out.

As far as soul memories went, Julian had yet to discover any way to tamper with them, so their credibility was quite high.

"Well? Champion Walker, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Seeing Gengar nod, the woman smiled slightly.

"You're honest, I'll give you that," Julian said.

"So, Champion Walker, can you tell me the location where Xerneas is slumbering now? Only then can I hand over this man to you."

Naturally, she wouldn't hand over both of them—she needed to keep one as leverage.

By now, Julian had already confirmed the woman's identity, and from her memories, he had seen what her younger brother looked like—it matched exactly with the unconscious man in front of him.
