Chapter 856: Chapter 1073: Lilligant
Julian had already been exploring the Brava Arena while riding Dragonite for four days, yet he still had not discovered any trace of Lilligant, which made him feel a bit frustrated.
"This guy didn't run off to some other place for a stroll, did it?"
Julian muttered to himself. Of course, he did not rule out the possibility that the other party was still in the Brava Arena, after all, he had not yet finished exploring the entire area.
He also didn't know exactly how large this area was, but after four days of exploration, he estimated that he had probably covered more than half of it.
This was the conclusion he had reached by comparing it to the Grandtree Arena.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the sixth day that Metagross suddenly gave Julian feedback, reporting a massive energy fluctuation in the northwest.
Julian immediately had Dragonite change direction.
Before long, Julian saw the source of the huge energy fluctuation Metagross had mentioned. It was just as he had suspected—a King-form Lilligant, its entire body shimmering with golden light.
Moreover, it was dancing gracefully beneath a massive ginkgo tree, its steps elegant and refined. With light touches of its feet, its body seemed to float slightly, and its long legs shifted through various poses in the air.
A gentle breeze blew, causing leaves to fall, and its enchanting dance, set against the fluttering leaves, took on a hazy beauty—difficult to perceive clearly yet imbued with a sense of mystery.
Julian didn't disturb it and simply watched quietly, while Jirachi took out a phone and started recording a video.
As a floral fragrance filled the air, Lilligant struck a final pose, marking the end of its dance.
"Clap, clap, clap."
Immediately after, a round of applause echoed in Lilligant's ears.
It wasn't surprised, as it had known the moment Julian entered the Brava Arena. This was its territory, and it could sense every blade of grass and every tree within it.
Including the World-class treasure Julian had obtained from the mountain and his exploration of the Brava Arena over the past few days. It was aware of it all.
Looking up, Lilligant saw Julian slowly descending from Dragonite. On his head lay a lethargic-looking Celebi, Jirachi sat on his left shoulder, Nebby held in his arms, and Metagross hovered quietly to his left.
"You danced wonderfully. If you were in the outside world, you could definitely become the most outstanding dancer," Julian said sincerely.
Truth be told, he knew nothing about dance, but there was no harm in offering praise. Why say unpleasant things when you could say nice ones? And he had no grudge against Lilligant anyway.
Although he truly didn't understand dance, he had to admit that Lilligant's performance was truly beautiful.
Upon hearing Julian's words, Lilligant instinctively narrowed its eyes into crescent moons, clearly in a very good mood.
Its impression of this human improving significantly.
He didn't seem as despicable and shameless as Kleavor had described. It seemed that after losing the battle, Kleavor had deliberately tried to smear this human's name—that guy was as petty as ever.
Meanwhile, Julian had already activated his Probing Eyes to check Lilligant's information.

Looking at the data, Julian found it just as outrageous as the Kleavor's. The only thing that surprised him was its level—only 95.
He had assumed that the five King-form Pokémon in this Primal Secret Realm would be around the same level as Kleavor.
Kleavor had originally been level 99, and during its battle with Metagross it had leveled up to 100, making it a peak Champion-tier powerhouse.
But Lilligant was only level 95, a significant gap compared to the Kleavor.
Given this, it seemed unnecessary to send out Metagross. After all, Metagross had already defeated a peak Champion-tier Pokémon, and while Lilligant was also formidable, using Metagross felt somewhat excessive.
So Julian considered letting his other Pokémon take the stage.
However, this Lilligant had also comprehended some kind of dance step, increasing both evasion and speed by 50%. Just by dancing, it could gain such incredible attributes.
This made Julian consider having his own Pokémon learn to dance.
But the thought of Aggron, Steelix, Tyranitar—those massive brutes—swaying their hips and wiggling their butts was a scene he didn't dare to imagine.
Moreover, his Pokémon were all relatively large in build, with Kartana being the smallest. However, the idea of getting that guy to learn to dance was completely out of the question.
So the idea of teaching them dance was instantly dismissed by Julian as soon as it crossed his mind.
Lilligant shifted its gaze to Metagross—the one who had defeated Kleavor. Since even the strongest among them, Kleavor, had been defeated, it knew that its chances of winning against Metagross were slim.
"Meta~"
Metagross noticed it looking and greeted it with a nod.
Lilligant: 'Seems quite friendly. Didn't Kleavor say this guy was brutal?'
'Sure enough, that guy was lying to me.'
Julian had no idea that both he and Metagross had been painted by Kleavor as cruel, wicked, and insatiable greedy villains.
However, the other four Kings were well aware of Kleavor's character. While it was indeed the strongest, its conduct was the worst—not that it was evil, but it loved gossiping behind others' backs, often exaggerating things in the process.
Every one of the four Kings had been the subject of Kleavor's gossip among the others.
Lilligant even knew that in Kleavor's eyes, it was just a dancer—and not even a particularly good one at that.
If not for the fact that it knew it couldn't defeat Kleavor, Lilligant and the other three Kings would have long since smacked its mouth shut.
Now looking at Julian and Metagross, they seemed perfectly polite—especially Julian, who had praised its dancing. Yet, Kleavor had deliberately slandered them.
Clearly, it was just being a sore loser and spreading rumors again.
Far away, Kleavor, who was resting in the Grandtree Arena, suddenly sneezed several times, even blowing out some snot, and instinctively looked around.
Just now, why had it felt a wave of malice, and even sneezed? But there was no one else around. Could it be that it had caught a cold?
'A cold?'
What a joke—it hadn't caught a cold in over ten thousand years. How could it possibly catch one now?
It must be that someone was talking bad about it behind its back.
