Chapter 962: Chapter 1179: Secret
By the time Gemma finished the MBTI test, five to six minutes had passed. There were thirty questions in total, so completing it in that time was quite fast.
"All done."
Gemma handed the phone back to Love.
Love looked at the MBTI results, and its eyes immediately narrowed.
Seeing that, Gemma's heart tightened.
Could there be a problem?
'This child's results are unexpectedly a good match with my little one.'
With that, Love's gaze toward Gemma became much more amicable.
"Dee~"
It directly grabbed Gemma's hand and led her inside.
After passing through the Gym, the Walker family residence lay behind it—a beautiful three-story villa.
"Mage~"
Magearna was watering the plants at the entrance. Seeing Love and Lucario return, it immediately greeted them.
"Are these… Star Flowers?"
Gemma looked at the flowers shaped like stars, each about half the size of a palm, and silver-white in color, with faint silver powder drifting in the sunlight.
"Dee~"
Love nodded, then gave a look as if to say—'what's so surprising? They're just a few flowers.'
To elaborate, Star Flowers were a sub-Ultimate Steel-type treasure. The pollen in their blossoms was an extremely valuable nutrient for Steel-type Pokémon.
Long-term use could improve a Steel-type Pokémon's physique.
And just the term "sub-Ultimate treasure" was enough to prove how rare they were.
Yet there were at least a dozen of them here.
"My cub brought these five or six years ago. He said they looked nice, so I planted them here," Love explained—though Gemma couldn't understand a single word.
However, from Love's tone, Gemma got the impression that Love considered these just ordinary decorative plants.
Then her gaze shifted to the flowerpot holding the Star Flowers—a pitch-black pot.
It really didn't look that appealing.
'Appealing, my foot!'
"Is this flowerpot made from Blackrock Core?!"
Her shriek made Love frown slightly, feeling that although this girl's personality matched somewhat with her cub's, she was a bit too easily startled.
Blackrock Core was also a sub-Ultimate Steel-type treasure. When used by Steel-type Pokémon, it could increase their defense by 15%.
Even a single piece could trigger competition among Pseudo–Champions—yet here, it was being used as nothing more than a flowerpot.
"Mage?"
Magearna looked at Love, as if asking who this girl was—were they a guest?
"Dee~"
Love: "She's Julian's friend."
Fortunately, Love didn't go overboard and directly call her Julian's girlfriend.
"Mage~"
Hearing that she was her trainer's friend, Magearna immediately performed a gesture like that of an ancient princess toward her, exuding an air of nobility.
"Magearna, a Steel/Fairy-type Mythical Pokémon—the only one in the world."
"She's so cute! And so polite!"
Gemma quickly ran up to Magearna, her eyes sparkling like diamonds—the kind of reaction every trainer would have when seeing such a rare Pokémon.
For Steel-type trainers, Julian's Steel-type Pokémon were regarded as the benchmark in their field.
And among his Steel-type Pokémon, aside from Steelix, the rest were all extremely rare.
Lucario was even rarer than some pseudo-legendaries.
Although an Aron could be bought on the market, even one with Green-grade Potential would start at over ten million.
And Julian's Aggron was a one-in-a-million Totem-class Pokémon.
As for Melmetal, a Steel-type mythical Pokémon—there was no need to even elaborate.
Then there was Kartana, which only existed in small numbers within the Top-tier secret realm controlled by the Walker family. And even John and Jake hadn't managed to catch one yet.
At present, Julian was the only trainer in the world who had a Kartana.
Bisharp, Aegislash, and Duraludon were also rare Pokémon that ordinary people couldn't easily obtain.
As for Metagross, a Steel-type pseudo-legendary—there was no need to say more either.
By comparison, only Steelix could be considered relatively "ordinary."
Onix, while not exactly everywhere, were still relatively common.
However, since Steelix became incredibly powerful upon evolution and also had a Mega Evolution form, it had now become almost a staple for all Steel-type trainers—nearly everyone had one.
"Mage~"
Magearna immediately became shy upon hearing Gemma's compliments. It had always been an easily flustered Pokémon.
In the past, it would even hide upon seeing strangers.
It had improved a lot now; otherwise, it would have run away the moment it saw Gemma earlier.
"Dee?"
"Is Julian home?" Love asked.
"Mage~"
Magearna: "He's at the training ground in the back."
Love nodded, then had Lucario hand the grocery basket to Magearna.
"Prepare the beef tongue inside first—I'll come cook it later."
The beef tongue was for Julian, so Love had gone out early in the morning to pick out the freshest and best-looking cut.
"Mage~"
Magearna nodded.
"Dee~"
Love called out to Gemma and led her straight toward the backyard.
Most of Julian's Pokémon were gathered there.
"Ahhh—Metagross, Metagross!"
Metagross was resting on the grass when it suddenly heard a piercing scream. The next moment, it felt something latch onto it.
Fortunately, it knew it was in its own home and there was no danger; otherwise, it would have used its Psychic powers to reduce the woman clinging to it to dust.
"Meta~"
It used Psychic to peel her off.
"Metagross, Metagross!"
Even after being pulled away, Gemma kept calling its name.
If one were to ask which of Julian's Pokémon was the strongest, the world would likely say the Black and White Dragons, since they were First-class Legendaries.
But if one were to ask about Julian's ace and most trusted Pokémon, Metagross would undoubtedly be the one.
For generations, the Walkers had dominated the nation with their silver Metagross and Aggron.
John and Jake were no exception.
And the same held true for Julian's generation.
It was through Metagross that Julian gradually became known to the public.
And it was because of the silver Beldum back then that people realized this newly debuted trainer was none other than Julian, the heir of the Walker family.
The silver Metagross had long become the symbol and emblem of the Walker family—inseparable from it.
Looking at the woman acting like an obsessed fangirl, Metagross felt a bit overwhelmed.
After all, when Julian had gone to the café, Metagross had been sleeping in its Poké Ball, so it had no idea who Gemma was.
"Meta?"
It turned to Love and Lucario.
Metagross: "Who is she?"
Since Love had brought her in, she was clearly someone familiar.
"Dee~"
Love: "Julian's friend."
Metagross was stunned.
'Since when did that guy have a friend like this? Why didn't I know?'
It was practically inseparable from Julian, yet it had never seen this woman before. There could only be one explanation—Julian had met her without bringing it along.
'Damn, that guy was actually keeping secrets from me.'
