Chapter 1015: There Is One
Chapter 1015: There Is One
Now this was great—none of his Pokémon wanted this Ultimate treasure. For the first time, Julian felt that being too wealthy wasn't necessarily a good thing. After all, his Pokémon had each used at least two Ultimate treasures.
It was safe to say that ninety-nine percent of the trainers in this world would go their entire lives without even seeing what a Ultimate treasure looked like, let alone using one.
Basically, trainers who could become Champions were, more or less, lucky enough to have obtained at least one Ultimate treasure.
But using so many had made his own Pokémon picky about them.
"Slow~"
Slowking: "There's one Pokémon that would be a good fit."
Just as Julian was about to put the Fragrant Mud into the system space, thinking that if nothing else worked, he would just trade it for another Ultimate treasure—
Slowking suddenly chimed in.
"Who?"
Julian looked at Slowking. Could it be that Slowking wanted to use its authority to force one of the Pokémon to take this treasure?
Dragonite and the others seemed to think the same. They immediately took several steps back, clearly afraid of being forced by Slowking to use the treasure.
They could refuse to give their trainer face. But they couldn’t refuse to give Slowking face.
Julian: ( ̄∠ ̄)?
"There’s still one Pokémon you haven’t released," Slowking said.
Julian froze. 'No way.'
"1, 2, 3, 4… 16—none missing. They’re all here."
Julian’s Pokémon—his main team and his secondary team—totaled 16. This count didn’t include Zekrom, Reshiram, Slowking, Magearna, or the three little ones.
Slowking pointed to Julian’s belt.
'The belt?'
Julian touched his belt and was taken aback—he actually felt a Poké Ball he didn’t recognize.
Looking at the Poké Ball in his hand, Julian was completely confused. When had he gotten another Pokémon? How did he not know?
He looked at Slowking. Slowking wore an expression that clearly said: you’ll know once you open it.
So Julian opened the Poké Ball.
Pop!
The Pokémon inside appeared before Julian.
"Milo~"
Julian stared at Milotic in surprise. "How are you here?"
Milotic gave him a resentful look. This scumbag—after capturing it, he barely paid attention to it.
Sensing Milotic’s thoughts, Julian felt a bit awkward and explained, "Well, it’s just that my mother really likes you..."
Milotic had been captured by Julian in the Technological Ruins (Chapter 727).
The reasons for capturing it were simple: first, Milotic was extremely rare and beautiful, and second, it was at the peak of the Pseudo-Champion level.
However, after capturing it, Tina grew very fond of this Pokémon. So, Julian left it in the backyard pond and never carried it with him.
Since Milotic wasn't raised by Julian, even if he provided it with resources and helped it reach the Champion-level, the system's Main Quest wouldn't be completed.
The Main Quest required Julian to personally raise six Champion-level Pokémon, not simply capture one at the peak of the Pseudo-Champion tier or one that was already a Champion.
Trying to exploit this loophole in the system was clearly impossible.
Since his mother liked Milotic and the system didn't recognize it as being raised by him, Julian simply left it in the backyard pond.
Though he rarely managed it directly, the Pokéblocks Milotic ate were all provided by Julian, just like for his other Pokémon.

Known as the most beautiful Pokémon, Milotic's charm was undeniable. At this moment, it was looking at Julian with a resentful look, making even Julian feel like he was not a good person.
"Slowking, why did you bring it out?"
Milotic’s Poké Ball had suddenly appeared on his belt. This could only have been done by Slowking—otherwise, how would it have known that Milotic's Poké Ball was there?
"Slow~"
Slowking: "It's just one step away from becoming a Champion."
The Primal Secret Realm was filled with treasures and opportunities. It would be a shame if a Pokémon like Milotic, so close to becoming a Champion, missed out on this secret realm.
So even without Julian's consent, Slowking recalled Milotic into its Poké Ball and conveniently placed it on Julian's belt.
"Its potential hasn't reached that level yet, but that's not a problem."
Milotic had Blue-grade potential, meaning the maximum it could reach was the peak of the Pseudo-Champion tier. Only Purple-grade potential Pokémon could become Champions.
Among Julian’s current Pokémon, aside from Pawniard who recently joined, all the others had Purple-grade potential—and Metagross even had Gold.
Even Pawniard, with Julian’s investment of resources, had already reached Blue-grade potential.
"I’m sorry, Milotic. I’ve been neglecting you," Julian said sincerely, with an apologetic expression.
He had fallen into a misconception: even though Milotic wasn’t raised by him personally, and even after it reached the Champion-level, it wouldn’t count toward the system’s quest requirement for "personally raised" Champion-level Pokémon.
But quest aside, the fact remained that the number of Champion-level Pokémon under his command would increase, and his overall strength would grow.
Julian, this heartless guy—not only was he careless with women, but he also didn’t spare his Pokémon. But he knew exactly how to coax them. Right after apologizing, he immediately handed the Fragrant Mud to Milotic.
"This suits you best."
It was clearly a treasure that none of his other Pokémon wanted. If even one of them had shown interest, it wouldn’t have been Milotic’s turn.
Milotic, on the other hand, was moved to tears, like someone who had waited bitterly for the male lead, silently supporting him from behind, even sending cards and takeaway meals to the male lead’s girlfriend.
Then one day, the male lead suddenly broke up with his girlfriend, came looking for her, and said that the one he truly loved had always been her.
Metagross: 'How did a Pokémon with this level of intelligence even reach the Pseudo-Champion tier? Shouldn’t it have died from sheer stupidity long ago?'
Even Julian found it somewhat unbelievable—he hadn’t expected Milotic’s emotions to be soothed so easily.
As a fellow female, Slowking—just look at her.
"Slow?"
Slowking: "What are you thinking?"
"Nothing, nothing! I was just thinking about how beautiful Milotic is. I must have been blind before."
"Miii~"
Hearing Julian’s praise, Milotic suddenly felt a little shy. Then, an intoxicating fragrance began to emanate from its body.
Salamence: "Have my kids!"
Garchomp: "I like you!"
Duraludon: "My wife!"
Dragonite: "Are you guys trying to steal my future wife from me?"
Seeing the four acting strangely, Julian realized that the Fragrant Mud was starting to take effect.
Looking at the other Pokémon, he noticed that all of them were gazing at Milotic to some extent.
After consuming the Fragrant Mud, Milotic was now exuding a constant aura of charm. If it were to use Attract now, no Pokémon would be able to resist.
