Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 918: Chapter 1135: Going Abroad

"Commander, regarding the Bisharp groups—I've already found three."

Early in the morning, Ella had already called Julian.

Julian's Bisharp could now evolve into Kingambit, but the evolution condition required defeating three Bisharp within a group that carried a Leader's Crest.

To be considered a group, the number of Pokémon must be no fewer than one hundred.

In other words, a small tribe consisting of a few dozen Pawniard and one or several Bisharp could only be considered a small clan, not a true group.

And Bisharp groups large enough to qualify usually only existed inside Secret Realms.

Both Pawniard and Bisharp were rare Pokémon, and within the secret realms of Drakoria there were currently no Bisharp groups.

So Julian had asked Ella to investigate which countries had them.

"Babath, Anglia, and Maplia each have Bisharp groups."

"Except for Anglia, the other two countries have already agreed to let you enter."

Babath was basically the backyard of Drakoria now and didn't dare refuse—their former "godfather" had long since abandoned them.

Maplia was considered relatively strong internationally, but they were also famously soft-spined. Facing the global hegemon, how could they dare to refuse?

"I'll continue negotiating with Anglia," Ella added.

"No need. They're just trying to drive up the price. I'll go there personally," Julian said calmly.

He then hung up the phone.

Julian wasn't surprised that Anglia had refused.

After all, that country had always been aligned with Celestria, and its own strength was also quite solid.

And their refusal was likely influenced by Celestria as well.

On the other end, as soon as Ella heard that Julian himself planned to go to Anglia, she immediately understood what he meant. But before she could say anything, Julian had already ended the call.

She initially thought about calling him back, but knowing Julian's personality, she gave up on the idea.

After hesitating for a moment, she took Liligant with her and headed to the Grand Elder's office.

"Ella, did you tell Julian about my solo dance performance?" Lilligant softly asked while following behind Ella.

Ella stopped in her tracks, turned around, and said with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, Liligant, I forgot. After we're done at the Grand Elder's office, I'll let the Commander know."

"Mm-hmm."

"When the time comes, I'll have Julian watch the dance I've learned—he'll definitely be surprised," Liligant said with a smile.

During this time, Ella had been taking Liligant to various dance performances and even hired many dance instructors to teach it. Liligant's talent in dance was truly astonishing.

Now, it had already started preparing for a solo dance performance.

It also got along very well with Ella, and the two had become inseparable best friends.

"When I perform on stage, I absolutely have to have Julian play the piano for me, and Milotic sing."

After all, it had seen Julian's special exhibition performance in the Grand Festival finals. It wasn't just the overwhelming visual experience—Julian's piano playing and Milotic's singing had deeply moved its soul.

If those two elements were paired with its dance, the entire world would surely be shaken.

"Well, that depends on how you convince the Commander. But based on my understanding of him, he'll probably refuse because he thinks it's too troublesome."

Ella shook her head.

By now, she had already arrived at the Grand Elder's office. After nodding to the guards at the entrance, she knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Grand Elder."

"Oh, it's Ella—have a seat."

James looked at Ella with a warm expression. After all, he was the one who had chosen her to be Julian's secretary, and at the same time, he hoped she would become Julian's future partner.

"Grand Elder, the Commander said he wants to go to Anglia personally. I'm worried that, given his temperament, he might cause trouble over there," Ella said.

"He will definitely cause trouble."

"That kid has been spoiled by John since he was little. Although he has a good heart and has never bullied others, his temper isn't actually that great."

"He's exactly like John in that regard."

"Anglia refusing to show him respect like this—do you think he's going to take that lightly?"

"Don't worry, I'll handle this matter. You should just focus on how to get closer to him. If all else fails, use some "medicines"..."

What started as a serious discussion suddenly took a turn that made Ella's face flush red.

He even brought up using "medicine."

But the problem was, she couldn't even see Julian's face right now, let alone have an opportunity to use it.

Blushing deeply, Ella hurriedly left.

Meanwhile, James thought for a moment, then took out his phone to call Julian.

"Hello, Grand-uncle."

"When you're in Anglia, don't stir up too much trouble. And don't involve civilians."

"Got it."

"Grand-uncle, I thought you were going to try and stop me from going."

Julian's tone on the phone carried a hint of curiosity.

"Trying to persuade you wouldn't have worked, and Anglia needs to be taught a lesson anyway—they still haven't realized who's in charge now."

"Exactly. Disrespecting me is disrespecting Zekrom and Reshiram."

After chatting with James for a bit longer, Julian hung up the phone.

"Julian, are we going abroad?"

As soon as he put down the phone, Celebi and Jirachi excitedly flew over. They had clearly heard the conversation just now.

"Mm."

Julian nodded. First, he would give Anglia a lesson, then enter their secret realm where the Bisharp group was located.

"Yay!"

The two little ones high-fived each other excitedly.

"We're going to the birthplace of fried chicken and fries!"

"Wait, isn't the birthplace of fried chicken and fries Celestria?" Julian asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a mocking look from Celebi.

"The real birthplace is Anglia. It just spread quickly in Celestria, which is why most people mistakenly think it originated there."

When it came to fried chicken and fries, Celebi spoke like an expert, while Jirachi beside it kept nodding repeatedly in agreement.

"Oh, but why are you two so happy?" Julian asked calmly.

"Because we're going abroad!" ×2

The two little ones exclaimed excitedly.

"Wrong. It's not 'we'—it's 'I' who's going. I never said I was taking you two along."

Julian raised his index finger and wagged it at them, signaling that he was going without them.

The two little ones were instantly stunned.

'What!?'

They looked at each other, then Celebi and Jirachi immediately pounced on Julian, each hugging one of his legs, and said in a very flattering tone:

"Dad, please take us with you!"

When it came to being shameless, the two of them were perfectly in sync. Julian had already grown quite accustomed to it.

"Hm… I'll consider it."

Julian's lips curled slightly upward as he pretended to hesitate.

"Dad, I still have some pocket money. I'll treat you to milk tea later," Celebi quickly offered.

"I'll treat you to barbecue tonight!"

Jirachi went straight for the big move. It seemed the pocket money it had saved up was quite substantial.
