Chapter 1016: Julian Is Angry
Chapter 1016: Julian Is Angry
Watching his several Dragon-type Pokémon being clouded by lust, Julian didn’t make a move—he neither tried to wake them up nor recalled the stunningly charming Milotic back into its Poké Ball.
Dragon-type Pokémon inherently had stronger desires than those of other Typing.
Dragonite, Garchomp, Salamence, and Duraludon each had a voice in their heads screaming at them to possess the Milotic before them and make it bear their offspring.
While the other Pokémon were also affected, it wasn’t as intense as it was for these four.
Pokémon like Lucario and Kartana weren’t affected at all.
Even the usually simple-minded Arcanine showed no reaction.
Time passed second by second. After three minutes, Dragonite and the other three dragons were breathing heavily, their eyes glowing red.
The temptations in their minds were like nightmares, relentlessly tormenting their willpower.
"Milotic, use Attract," Julian said softly.
Milotic understood Julian’s intention and playfully winked at the four dragons.
Even without using Attract, Milotic’s innate charm, enhanced by the Fragrant Mud, had nearly brought the four dragons to their knees.
Now, with Attract in play, the effect was explosive.
The first to lose control was Salamence.
"Sal!"
"You’re mine!"
Salamence roared, its face twisted with ferocity, eyes brimming with overwhelming desire as it rushed straight toward Milotic.
"Salamence, stop!"
Julian’s voice suddenly echoed in Salamence’s mind, injecting a sliver of reason into its desire-clouded consciousness.
Salamence’s body halted, but the struggle on its face grew more intense. It wanted to rush forward, but its trainer had ordered it to stop.
At this moment, Salamence was like a man imprisoned for ten years who, upon release, would find even a sow attractive—let alone a stunning beauty batting its eyelashes at him.
How could it hold back? Yet its trainer had told it to stop. It didn’t want to disobey, but its physical desires burned like wildfire.
Dragonite, Garchomp, and Duraludon were also enduring with great difficulty.
Just then, Duraludon began walking toward Milotic, its face filled with the same intense desire as Salamence’s.
"Duraludon, stop!" Julian’s voice rang out again.
But Duraludon seemed not to hear, taking step after step until it walked past Salamence.
Salamence watched as Duraludon step by step approached the "goddess" in its heart, and its simmering desire was now mixed with a hint of jealousy.
How could it let that guy get there first?
Thus, desire completely overpowered reason.
Seeing Salamence and Duraludon rush toward Milotic, Julian's expression instantly turned cold.
"Aggron, take them down!"
Take down?
Take down who?
Of course, Salamence and Duraludon.
Aggron had already been standing beside Milotic. Upon hearing Julian's command, it stepped forward, just as Salamence, with its speed advantage, swiftly overtook Duraludon.
Salamence’s eyes were fixed only on Milotic, but suddenly its view was blocked by Aggron, and the anger in its heart flared violently.
Aggron’s left arm clamped down, pinning Salamence firmly under its armpit.
Duraludon was similarly pinned under its right arm.
Even though both Pokémon were at the peak of the Elite-level, Aggron was a Champion, unmatched in defense and strength.
Their struggles and attacks felt like mere tickles to Aggron.
Salamence tilted its head back and fired a Hyper Beam directly into Aggron’s face.
Duraludon used Crunch, biting down hard on Aggron’s forearm.
But it was useless. Completely useless.
Bang!
With a powerful squeeze of its arms, Aggron slammed both of them hard into the ground.
Then, it followed up with a Mega Kick, sending Duraludon flying.
And a heavy Stomp landed squarely on Salamence’s back.
Those actions instantly snapped Garchomp back to reality. Seeing the miserable state of Salamence and Duraludon, it felt a surge of relief that its willpower had been strong enough—otherwise, it might have ended up as one of them.
Glancing at Dragonite beside it, it saw that the big guy had already regained its usual goofy and honest expression.
Dragonite had been raised by Julian from an Egg, sharing an extremely deep bond with him. It had also experienced Julian’s early days as a trainer, and the battles it had gone through went without saying.
Milotic’s innate charm combined with Attract had indeed affected Dragonite, but far from the point of making it lose its reason.
As for Garchomp, this guy’s willpower was strong to begin with, so at the final moment it had resisted Attract.
But Salamence and Duraludon had failed to hold on.
The reason was quite simple.
Starting with Salamence—it had also been raised by Julian from Bagon, but by that time Julian was already an Elite, so there had basically been no chance for Bagon to take the field.
Even after it evolved into Shelgon and then Salamence, the battles it experienced along the way were few, and it had never once faced a truly evenly-matched fight.
Moreover, during its time as a Bagon, it was essentially spoiled and doted on by Julian and Dragonite.
That kind of upbringing was equivalent to a rich kid who had never experienced any setbacks. To expect it to have extremely strong willpower was obviously asking too much.
The fact that it could stop midway after hearing Julian’s voice was already commendable.
Duraludon’s situation was similar. It hadn’t been with Julian for very long—just a few years—and it also hadn’t experienced life-or-death battles or extensive combat. So, it was understandable that it was bewitched by Milotic.
Besides, Milotic was at the peak of the Pseudo-Champion tier, far surpassing Salamence and Duraludon in strength.
Understanding was one thing, but a lesson still needed to be taught.
If they encountered another opposite-sex Pokémon with Fragrant Mud,Attract, and stunning looks in the future, would they still react this way?
Beating them once so they would remember was also for their own good.
Julian recalled Milotic into its Poké Ball. Having just absorbed the Fragrant Mud, Milotic couldn’t yet control its newly amplified charm and was radiating an overwhelming allure at all times.
And this charm didn’t discriminate between friend and foe.
After being thoroughly beaten by Aggron, Salamence and Duraludon had regained their senses.
Seeing Julian’s expression so cold that it could freeze over, the two Pokémon felt extremely uneasy.
They had never seen their trainer this angry before.
It wasn’t just them—even the other Pokémon felt a bit intimidated by Julian in this state.
Celebi and Jirachi even covered each other’s mouths, afraid that breathing too loudly might draw Julian’s ire.
Arcanine tucked its tail between its hind legs.
Steelix buried its head in the ground, playing ostrich, and kept repeating in its mind: "You can't see me, you can't see me."
"M-Mel…"
Melmetal nervously whispered to Lucario beside it, "Is he really angry?"
"Luca~"
Lucario nodded. Since its aura was connected to Julian’s, it was very clear that Julian was truly furious.
Looking at the two disappointing fellows—Salamence and Duraludon—even Lucario felt like giving them a good beating.
