Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 848: Chapter 1065: Cruel Parent

The female Tyranitar, who had been slapped away not only didn't get angry—instead, it looked at Julian's Tyranitar with a pitiful expression, as if it wanted to approach but didn't dare.

In terms of level alone, it was indeed much higher than Julian's Tyranitar. After all, it was level 88, while Julian's Tyranitar was only level 83.

But in terms of actual combat strength, Julian's Tyranitar would absolutely crush it.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easily sent flying by a single slap just now.

Normally, after being hit like that, even if it didn't get angry, it should at least have given up. Yet judging by the female Tyranitar's behavior, it seemed to admire Julian's Tyranitar even more.

Because Julian could clearly feel that the wave of affection coming from it had grown noticeably stronger than before.

"…Does this Tyranitar have some kind of special preference?" Julian muttered quietly.

Pokémon, like humans, all had their own personalities. Since some humans had unusual fetishes, it seemed only natural that some Pokémon might as well.

Still, actually running into one made Julian feel a bit strange.

In reality, it wasn't that the female Tyranitar had unusual preferences—it was simply that among Tyranitars, females generally preferred males who were stronger than themselves.

The partner they sought had to be stronger than they were. If not, they won't even look at the other party. This also had a lot to do with the environment they lived in.

In the desert, how could you survive if you weren't strong?

Of course, the Tyranitar line didn't live only in deserts—they could also be found in forests and rocky areas. It was just that because of their abilities, they performed even better in desert environments.

"Tar!"

Julian's Tyranitar roared at the female Tyranitar once again.

Tyranitar: "Get lost! I'm not interested in romance. How can I settle down before becoming a Champion?"

Julian: (⊙_⊙)

It turned out his Tyranitar had such lofty ambitions. But why did that line sound oddly familiar? He couldn't help giving his Tyranitar a suspicious look.

He wasn't sure whether it truly had ambition—or was just using that as an excuse to reject the female Tyranitar.

After hearing that, the female Tyranitar's eyes immediately dimmed, but they quickly brightened again.

"Then once you become a Champion, can we be together?"

The female Tyranitar looked at it with an expression full of hope.

Julian and the two little ones—wait, no, three little ones now, since Nebby had already woken up—were all staring intently at the two Tyranitars, their small faces filled with big-time gossip.

Julian felt that his Tyranitar was simply rejecting the other because it found it ugly, using such an excuse. But now that the female Tyranitar had said it was willing to wait for it...

Well then, he really wanted to see what excuse his Tyranitar would use next.

If it asked for help, Julian could even help it.

For example:

'Even if I become a Champion, I still can't be with you, because I have even greater ambitions—my journey is among the sea of stars.' (the pretentious version)

Or:

'Even if I become a Champion, I still can't be with you, because my Trainer doesn't agree.' (the cruel parent version)

Or:

'Even if I become a Champion, I still can't be with you because my heart has long since died on that stormy night, with a memory I can never forget' (the tragic widower version)

And so on…

'Come on, look at me! Look at me and I'll help you out.'

Julian screamed inwardly. He wanted to put on a show and had already decided to go with the second version—the "cruel parent" approach. Playing the villainous parent would be too satisfying.

But to his surprise, his Tyranitar didn't even glance at him. It directly said:

"If I become a Champion, I can be with you."

'Damn!'

A major twist.

Julian and the three little ones all widened their eyes.

This plot development was completely different from what they had imagined.

'Tyranitar, aren't you supposed to keep rejecting it? How could you just agree? If you agree so easily, it'll make me look stupid.'

"No, I don't agree!"

Unable to accept this fact, Julian, the self-appointed "cruel parent," couldn't help but blurt it out.

As a result, both Tyranitar immediately turned their heads to look at him.

The female Tyranitar revealed a fierce expression, probably wanting to swallow him whole.

"Ahem—"

Julian coughed awkwardly, then calmly explained, "Tyranitar, if you really like her, you don't have to wait until you become a Champion. You can be with her right now. I'll just capture her."

'Being a villainous parent? How could that be? I've always been a good guy.'

After hearing his words, the female Tyranitar realized it had misunderstood. It turned out this human was actually trying to help it. Instantly, the look in its eyes toward Julian became much more friendlier.

Julian wasn't foolish enough to suggest leaving his own Tyranitar here to accompany the female Tyranitar. He had painstakingly trained his own Pokémon—how could he let it be taken away just like that.

He was not Ash, who always self-righteously thought he was doing what was best for his Pokémon and released them.

If his own Tyranitar really liked the other, he could simply capture it. That way, they could stay together forever, and he'd gain another powerful Pokémon in the process.

There were many ways to solve a problem—he just needed to choose the one that was best for both him and his Pokémon.

"Tar~"

But his Tyranitar shook its head.

"A Champion's heart holds no woman; only then can one attain true peak."

Tyranitar declared with a profound expression.

The female Tyranitar's eyes sparkled with admiration. Yes, this was the kind of male it wanted as its partner—one whose convictions won't easily waver.

But after hearing that, Julian's face darkened a little. It was confirmed—this bastard was definitely coping him! No wonder those earlier words sounded so familiar.

Tyranitar: 'All thanks to my trainer's fine example.'

'You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I never expected you to play such a deep game.'

Julian stared at his Tyranitar as if seeing it for the first time; even the way he looked at it had changed.

Being stared at by Julian like that, Tyranitar felt somewhat confused. What was going on? It had said all that only because it had been influenced by its Trainer's lofty goals.

"Tyr~"

The female Tyranitar spoke up, "Wait here for a moment."

With that, it left. It didn't take long—just about ten minutes or so—before it returned, carrying a bunch of things in its hands.

Placing the items in front of Tyranitar, it said, "These are for you. They should be helpful."

Julian took a look—good grief, they were all treasures. Although they were not Ultimate treasures or sub-Ultimate treasures, they were still very good items, and they matched Tyranitar's attributes perfectly.

Presumably these treasures were what it had prepared for its own breakthrough to the Champion tier, yet now it was giving them all to Julian's Tyranitar.

This was only their first meeting, and it was already going this far—it had even emptied its stash.

Was it not afraid that his Tyranitar might just be a scumbag Tyranitar?
