Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 912: Chapter 1129: Changes

"Brat, I knew you'd be fine."

Far away in Imperial Capital, James had already learned from the staff that Julian had awakened and that nothing was wrong with him.

During this period, because Julian had fallen into a coma—and rumors of his death had even spread—all kinds of trouble-makers had emerged, causing some unrest domestically.

As the Grand Elder, James simply couldn't leave the Imperial Capital and had to remain there to keep things under control.

Although he had been very worried about Julian, his instincts kept telling him that Julian would be fine.

And sure enough, Julian was fine. The worry hanging in his heart finally settled.

He also saw the video Julian posted on TikTok.

"Psychic breakthrough… not a bad excuse."

Others might believe that explanation, but James certainly would not.

Julian had already told them before that his Psychic abilities were Master-level. Since they were already Master-level, how could they still break through further?

Most likely, it had something to do with that ancient stone tablet.

The ancient stone tablet from Suicune Lake had already been retrieved by them.

Since Julian had collapsed in Suicune Lake, they naturally investigated the area and found that stone tablet.

Combined with the fact that Julian had been collecting ancient stone tablets all this time, James, not being a fool—quickly connected Julian's coma with the ancient stone tablet.

Perhaps Julian had discovered another mysterious property of the ancient stone tablets.

"Grand Elder, several countries that previously canceled their cooperation with us have all changed their minds. How should we respond to them?"

A secretary walked in, their expression carrying a trace of vindictive satisfaction.

Earlier, when the news of Julian's death was spreading convincingly, some opportunistic countries immediately cancelled their cooperation with them and even hinted that if cooperation were to continue, they expected Drakoria to lower its profit margins.

"Tell them we want eighty percent of the profits, or we'll find someone else to cooperate with," James said with a cold smile.

"Understood," the secretary nodded.

Not long after Julian uploaded his video, countries around the world learned that he was fine, and judging by his rosy complexion in the video, he even looked to be in excellent condition.

> "Champion Walker should have been an Advanced-level Psychic before. Now that he's broken through, doesn't that make him the world's first Master-level Psychic? Terrifying!"

> "So it was a psychic breakthrough to the Master-level. No wonder he fell into a coma."

> "Champion Walker, let me tell you—while you were unconscious, a lot of countries started acting up."

> "I wonder which bastard first said Champion Walker was dead."

> "I knew my husband would be fine, I don't have to be a widow after all."

The comment section under Julian's video was full of cheerful celebration.

As a public idol, Julian was quite beloved by his fans.

"Julian, what exactly happened to you? You suddenly fainted for no reason," Jirachi asked in confusion.

Before Julian could answer, Celebi chimed in, "It must be because his body is too weak. I've never seen this guy exercise before. His body is weak, so he fainted. Blockhead, from now on, you should eat more fried chicken with me so your body can get stronger."

"Go play somewhere else."

Julian flicked Celebi's little bottom. Because it had slimmed down a bit, flicking it didn't feel as good as before.

His coma had definitely been caused by the Unown.

Previously, Julian had sixteen Unown inside his body. And after the Y-shaped Unown from Suicune Lake entered, the number became seventeen. Perhaps that had triggered some kind of qualitative change, which was why he had suddenly fainted.

Because he discovered something really had changed.

[Unown's Protection: Makes it easier to gain the favor of First-class Legendaries. Allows the user to command a First-class Legendary for 20 minutes without any side effects. During this time, the commanded First-class Legendary's strength increases by 20%.]

That had been the previous effect of Unown's Protection.

Now the effect had upgraded.

[Unown's Protection: Makes it easier to gain the favor of First-class Legendaries. Allows the user to command a First-class Legendary for 60 minutes without any side effects. During this time, the commanded First-class Legendary's strength increases by 40%. (Number of First-class Legendaries enhanced x2)]

[Unown's Evolution: Can designate one First-class Legendary that has an alternate form to undergo transformation, without needing the required item.]

These were his current changes.

Unown's Protection had directly upgraded from version 1.0 to version 2.0.

Not only had the command duration been extended, but the strength boost had also increased to 40%. This amplification effect was absolutely terrifying.

And originally he could only apply the BUFF to one First-class Legendary, but now he could enhance two at the same time, meaning the amplification effect could apply to both.

If Unown's Protection BUFF was applied to Zekrom and Reshiram, Julian felt that he could even use them to give Rayquaza a good beating.

"I wonder if any First-class Legendary will jump out so I can test it," Julian muttered quietly.

Right now he really wanted to know how strong Unown's Protection 2.0 was, so he couldn't help but want to find a First-class Legendary to test it on.

Besides the upgrade to Unown's Protection, there was also this new addition, Unown's Evolution.

Many ordinary Pokémon could undergo Mega Evolution. And some First-class Legendaries also had forms similar to Mega Evolution.

Mewtwo had two forms, X and Y, but both required their corresponding Mega Stones.

Additionally, there were Primal Reversions for Kyogre and Groudon, which required their specific Orbs.

Rayquaza could also undergo Mega Evolution into Mega Rayquaza.

And Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina had Origin Forms.

All of these were considered other forms of evolution.

And they all required specific items to achieve these forms.

But now, with Unown's Evolution, the need for these items was completely bypassed, allowing these First-class Legendaries to evolve directly.

For First-class Legendaries, the evolution items were the key factor and also the most difficult part to obtain. Now that he had Unown's Evolution, that obstacle was gone.

Unfortunately, Zekrom and Reshiram didn't have Mega Evolution forms. Otherwise, Julian felt he would have taken off immediately.

Before this, he had already wondered whether, as the number of Unown inside his body increased, the passive ability Unown's Protection would change.

Now his speculation had been confirmed.

Not only had the ability been upgraded, but a new passive ability had also appeared.

Currently, he had seventeen Unown inside him, and there were still eleven that hadn't been collected yet.

A full eleven more.

He figured they should either upgrade his existing abilities again or add new ones.

But these guys were really hard to find.

If he hadn't had the Unown Guidance Card before, he wouldn't have been able to find this 'Y' Unown. And the System Shop had changed the Unown Guidance Card to a non-sellable item.

'Damn it. You're willing to sell even Arceus's plates, but you won't sell this Guidance Card?'

Did that, to some extent, indicate that the Unown's status was in no way inferior to Arceus?

Thinking about it again, Julian felt that might actually be possible.

In ancient legends, the world was originally a chaotic void, and within that chaos, one egg and twenty-eight Unown were born.

Julian had translated this from the text on a proto-ancient stone tablet.

At the time, he hadn't thought much of it.

After all, Arceus stood at such an incredibly high level. Even though the Unown were mysterious, they shouldn't be on the same level as it… right?
