Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 1004: Chapter 1221: Drunk

The four days passed quickly, and Julian didn't foolishly stay with the Ambipom the whole time waiting.

He made use of those four days by having Metagross record the locations of all the Berry trees throughout Aipom Hill, and it also picked one from every tree that had borne fruit.

With Metagross's supercomputer-like processing and teleportation, this task was completed in just half a day.

For the remaining time, Julian played single-player games together with the two little ones. The Champion Ambipom watched curiously from the side, and when Julian noticed its interest in games, he later gave it a handheld console as well.

After teaching it how to operate it, Ambipom quickly got the hang of things—and even displayed astonishing gaming talent.

By itself, it completely crushed Julian, Celebi, and Jirachi.

In racing games, it lapped them.

In fighting games, it defeated them without losing any health.

In strategy games, it toyed with them effortlessly.

In shooting games, every shot was a headshot.

It beat Julian, Celebi, and Jirachi into total despair.

This kind of gaming talent—only Slowking could rival it.

Julian originally wanted Slowking to help him regain his dignity, but during this period, Slowking had been focused on studying how to brew Monkey Wine.

Over the past few days, it had been visiting nearby Ambipom tribes with its bodyguard Lucario and its apprentice Magearna, learning their brewing techniques.

It didn't learn directly from the Champion Ambipom because its brewing techniques were too advanced—even Slowking couldn't grasp them in a short time.

So instead, Slowking decided to start from the very basics of Monkey Wine brewing.

"The hundred-year old wine… it's finally about to be opened."

Julian looked at the dust-covered barrel in front of him, feeling a bit excited.

Even more excited than him, of course, was the Champion Ambipom—this was the wine it had created with immense time and effort.

Its importance even surpassed that of its own offspring.

As the lid of the barrel was opened, Julian immediately leaned in to take a look.

What he saw was a pool of crystal-clear liquid.

There was no smell of alcohol at all—it looked just like ordinary spring water.

Julian immediately used his Probing Eyes to check it.

[Hundred-Year Old Monkey Wine: A wine brewed by Ambipom over a century, made from ten thousand kinds of Berries and infused with numerous treasures, finally perfected after a hundred years of aging.]

[Effects: After a Pokémon consumes it; It increases the power of same-type moves by 20%, increases resistances by 20%, boosts all physical attributes by 20%, and enhances their foundation and Potential.]

[Note: For humans, it increases lifespan by 80 years (The lifespan-extending effect of Monkey Wine only applies once).]

Before Julian could even react, Celebi had already flown off his head toward the barrel.

But it was immediately stopped by Julian.

"Julian, let go of me!" Celebi struggled.

"What are you drinking it for? This stuff is useless to you. Jirachi, you can't drink it either."

Julian held Celebi with his left hand and Jirachi with his right.

There was less than two hundred Kilos of this hundred-year old wine—the quantity was extremely limited.

If Celebi and Jirachi drank it, aside from tasting it, it wouldn't provide any attribute enhancement at all.

Especially for Jirachi—being a First-class Legendary, it would be even more useless for it.

Among Julian's Pokémon, the only ones who could truly benefit from this wine were Zeraora and Bisharp.

"No! Even if it's useless, I still want to drink it!"

Celebi continued struggling, wanting to make up for its previous loss when it had been knocked out by the poison wine.

"Stop messing around. Once we get out, I'll give you a thousand bucks. Same for you, Jirachi," Julian said.

With such a small amount of wine, it probably wouldn't even be enough for his own family—after all, it wasn't that one sip would grant 80 years of lifespan.

It had to be consumed continuously over time to extend lifespan.

Hearing that, Celebi and Jirachi immediately stopped struggling.

Celebi asked uncertainly, "Really?"

It looked as if it was worried Julian might be lying.

Jirachi beside it had the exact same expression.

"When have I ever lied to you about this kind of thing?" Julian said helplessly.

Celebi thought about it and then nodded.

Although this blockhead had tricked it countless times before, at least when it came to pocket money or anything involving money, he had never lied.

If he said he'd give a thousand, then he would definitely give a thousand—and if he was in a good mood, he might even give a few hundred extra.

Out of the total 180 kilos of the hundred-year old wine, Julian took 150, leaving the remaining 30 for the Champion Ambipom.

After all, it had waited and anticipated this for a hundred years—if Julian took everything, the Ambipom would probably fight him to the death.

Those 30 Kilos were enough for it to break through its level, and drinking more than that wouldn't really help it anyway.

That night, Julian, his Pokémon, and the Champion Ambipom held a grand feast.

Although the hundred-year old wine wasn't very useful for most of his Pokémon, Julian still gave each of them a small cup.

This made Celebi and Jirachi absolutely delighted.

Now they not only got to drink the wine, but also received a thousand bucks in pocket money.

Sure enough, this blockhead was being dumb again.

The other Pokémon were fine after drinking the century-old wine—after all, their strength was enough to handle it.

But Zeraora and Bisharp—one at the Elite-level and the other at the pseudo-Elite level—weren't strong enough. After just one cup, they got completely drunk.

And of course, their trainer himself wasn't any better—he got drunk almost immediately too.

Now, completely intoxicated, he had his arms around the equally drunk Bisharp and Zeraora. The three of them were kneeling on the ground, swearing brotherhood to the moon.

"I—I, Julian—"

"I—I, Bisharp—"

"I—I, Ze-Zeraora—"

All three of them were so tongue-tied they couldn't even say their own names properly.

"Hereby swear—bleeeurgh—"

Before Julian could finish, he suddenly threw up, spilling out everything he had eaten earlier.

This entire scene was perfectly recorded by Celebi on its phone.

"Heheh, Blockhead, you finally got your day."

Celebi gleefully saved the video.

"Slow~"

Seeing this, Slowking let out a helpless sigh.

"Mage~"

Beside it, Magearna indicated that the hangover soup was ready, and Slowking signaled it to bring it over to Julian.

Magearna walked up to Julian and held the bowl to his mouth, but he was far too drunk to cooperate. He almost knocked the bowl out of Magearna's hands.

"Mage!"

Seeing this, Magearna became flustered, not knowing what to do, and looked toward Slowking for help.

Slowking sighed again, walked over, and took the bowl from Magearna.

Just then, Julian felt his stomach churn again. This time, however, he didn't throw up directly—instead he looked around, trying to find something.

In his dazed state, he thought he saw a trash can right beside him.

So he grabbed the "trash can" and proceeded to "bleeeurgh" into it.

Slowking suddenly felt a chill on its head—its crown had been taken off by Julian.

The surrounding Pokémon all changed their expressions instantly.

Then they looked at Slowking's face.

It was over.

They were about to become wild Pokémon with no trainer…
