Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 1082: Chapter 1299: Xerneas

The livestream had already stopped by the time Julian left.

Julian first went to the Technological Ruins, wanting to see if Mew was there.

With Deoxys' Teleport, he arrived at the Ruins in no time and went straight in without waiting for the guards to react.

Fortunately, the guards recognized Julian and saw Metagross and Deoxys beside him. Otherwise, they might have thought it was an enemy attack.

Mew had previously been sleeping inside the Ancient Giant Tree, but when Julian went to its usual sleeping spot this time, he didn't find it.

Clearly, it was no longer in that location.

Either it had found somewhere else to sleep, or it was wandering around somewhere.

"Julian, since that b*tch isn't here, let's just go find Xerneas directly. Xerneas will definitely give me, a Nature Spirit, some face."

Celebi patted its chest and said with complete confidence.

"Based on your respective statuses, you should be calling Xerneas 'Dad,'" Julian said with a curl of his lips.

Celebi was known as the Spirit of Nature and the Guardian of Forests.

Xerneas, on the other hand, was known as the God of Life.

And when it came to the use of natural forces, Xerneas was far superior to Celebi.

So from that perspective, Celebi calling Xerneas "Dad" was actually not unreasonable.

"You're the one who should call someone Dad! I, Celebi, was born of nature itself."

Celebi tugged at Julian's hair, sounding displeased.

Knowing that Julian's injuries hadn't healed yet, it didn't dare use too much force, and deep down, it still felt very guilty about not being able to help Julian before.

It was even thinking that perhaps it should start training a bit too.

It was already a peak Pseudo-Champion, only a step away from reaching the Champion tier—so why not just fill that gap?

'But training sounds so exhausting.'

Celebi suddenly thought of something and asked Julian expectantly, "Do you still have any of those candies?"

"No, and even if I did, I wouldn't give them to you."

Julian shook his head, knowing exactly what it was thinking. If he really had Rare Candies, he would definitely give them to Steelix or Melmetal.

Giving them to Celebi to make it a Champion wouldn't boost Celebi's battle strength—just its appetite.

"You blockhead! I'm not talking to you anymore."

Celebi huffed angrily, stood up, and then deliberately plopped down with force.

Julian just felt his head sink slightly but paid the little thing no mind.

Since Mew was no longer here, he could only go directly to find Xerneas.

Back at home, seeing that Julian was safe, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Isn't Julian coming home?"

Quinn noticed that after leaving, Julian had not returned. With Deoxys' Teleport, he should have been able to get home within a few seconds.

More than ten minutes had already passed.

"I'll call his father and ask."

Tina, who had fainted from fright earlier, had already woken up. She immediately took out her phone and called Jake.

After Jake briefly explained things over the phone, Tina hung up.

"Jake said Julian probably went to find something that can heal Dragonite," Tina explained.

They all knew Dragonite's condition.

"Dragonite must have been in so much pain back then. And Aggron and Arcanine too."

Jade wore a heartbroken expression. The scenes of the three Pokémon fighting desperately were deeply etched into her memory.

She even found herself starting to think that maybe she didn't want to be a trainer anymore.

Because she didn't want her own Pokémon to be severely injured, on the brink of death, or even die while protecting her.

Especially the way Arcanine had "died" in her brother's arms, and that look of utter heartbreak and despair on her brother's face—it was still vivid in her mind.

She didn't want to experience something like that one day.

But at the same time, seeing the deep bond and affection between her brother and his Pokémon, Jade was also extremely envious.

That kind of relationship and trust, where both trainer and Pokémon would willingly give their lives for each other, ignited a surge of passion in her young heart.

At this moment, Jade was caught in a dilemma.

The people present were all too worried about Julian to notice the inner turmoil Jade was experiencing. Her father was also currently focused on worrying.

Only Deoxys beside her sensed, to some extent, what Jade was feeling at the moment.

But it didn't say anything.

As far as it was concerned, whether Jade became a trainer or not didn't matter. Its mission was simply to protect her well and let her grow up happily.

As for the so-called inner conflicts, that wasn't something it could resolve.

"Dee~"

Love hurried into the kitchen and soon came back out carrying a shopping basket.

It was going grocery shopping. Its cub hadn't said anything about not eating dinner before leaving today, so it was going to buy groceries and wait for its cub to come home to eat.

"Love, buy some extra groceries—there are a lot of people at home today," Tina called out.

"Dee~"

Love nodded.

After thinking for a moment, it put down the shopping basket and took a spatial backpack instead. Since Lucario and Zeraora weren't home, there was no Pokémon to carry the shopping basket for it.

And with so many people at home today, a spatial backpack was necessary—otherwise there won't be enough room for all the groceries.

In the Flame Mountain secret realm, Julian had arrived once again and directly entered the hidden Top-tier secret realm gate within.

After entering, he didn't hesitate. However, he recalled Deoxys and had Metagross use Teleport to take him to the place where Xerneas was slumbering.

Seeing Xerneas again, its sleeping posture was exactly the same as the last time he saw it.

Its head was resting on its forelegs, with an expression that seemed to say, 'I'm sleeping very soundly.'

"I wonder if its legs go numb sleeping like that," Julian muttered quietly.

Celebi nodded in agreement very seriously.

"If it were me, my legs would definitely go numb."

Xerneas was enveloped in a protective barrier. So, Julian walked up to the barrier, knocked on it with his hand, and then shouted loudly, "Xerneas, wake up!"

But even after calling out several times, there was still no reaction from the other party, which was also within Julian's expectations.

"Your dad sure sleeps like a log."

He couldn't help but remark.

Celebi clenched its fist and gave Julian a punch on the head, huffing angrily, "Blockhead, he's your dad—your whole family's dad!"

"I originally wanted to wake it up gently, but it looks like I'll have to resort to more forceful methods."

Julian really didn't have many good options right now. He had no item to awaken Xerneas, couldn't find Mew, and shouting at Xerneas got no response at all.

And he didn't want Dragonite to remain frozen in ice forever, so he could only resort to force.

What worried him, though, was that Xerneas might get angry after being woken up by violent means and then refuse to help heal Dragonite. That was Julian's only concern.

Just as Julian was about to release the Twin Dragons, the Unown inside his body suddenly became active, and then the area on Julian's chest faintly glowed with warmth.

This unexpected change caused Julian to stop what he was doing.

And the next second, he saw Xerneas slowly open its eyes.

"Was it you who just called me Dad?"
