Chapter 921: Chapter 1138: Motivation
Anglia's Advanced Secret Realm No. 18 was a Steel-type dominant secret realm, but it wasn't of the Special kind that focused entirely on one Typing.
Within the Secret Realm, Steel-type energy was simply more abundant than other elemental energies.
"No need waste time. Metagross, go find the Bisharp group," Julian said.
He had already gathered relevant information about this secret realm beforehand. Obtaining this information didn't require any special methods—one only had to log into Anglia Trainers' official website.
There, information about almost all secret realms was publicly available, except for Special Advanced-level secret realms, Top-tier secret realms, and Primal secret realms.
Publishing such information was meant to help domestic trainers explore these realms more safely and reduce casualties.
In fact, many countries did the same—including Drakoria.
After all, once most trainers could enter a secret realm, it would be impossible to hide information about it anyway. In that case, it was better to publish the details openly.
After only a few seconds, Metagross brought Julian to the territory of the Bisharp group.
The main resource of secret realm was precisely this Bisharp group, so Anglia protected it very carefully.
Only a small number of capture quotas were issued each year.
The entire Bisharp group consistently maintained a population of around 150 Pokémon.
Its leader was at the mid-stage Elite-level, and there were also three early-stage Elite-level Bisharp under it.
The rest were all below Elite Bisharp and Pawniard.
Julian's own Bisharp was currently level 61, with strength at the early-stage pseudo-Elite level.
Looking at the gap in levels between the two sides, Julian fell into thought.
It seemed he had forgotten the most crucial point.
Although his Bisharp had reached the level requirement for evolution, it still wasn't at the Elite-level.
For an early-stage pseudo-Elite Bisharp to defeat a mid-stage Elite Bisharp, the chances didn't seem very high.
Moreover, the Bisharp leader in front of him was far from ordinary.
Being able to command nearly one hundred Pawniard and dozens of Bisharp, including three early-stage Elite ones, clearly showed how exceptional its strength was.
Meanwhile, Julian's Bisharp hadn't used any Ultimate treasures yet. Although it had consumed quite a few potions that enhanced its six base stats, the time since it had been with him had been relatively short.
If it had been Metagross at the same stage, Julian wouldn't have been worried at all.
If Julian had another six months, even if Bisharp couldn't reach the Elite-level, it would certainly reach the peak of pseudo-Elite.
At that point, he would absolutely be confident in defeating the opponent.
But it didn't matter; Julian had a way to temporarily increase Bisharp's strength.
[Serious Mint: After inhaling this mint, all six base stats increase comprehensively. (single use only)]
[Dark Seed: After use, Dark-type Pokémon's level temporarily increases by five levels for five minutes. (side effect: weakened for one day)]
[Steel Power: After use, Steel-type moves are enhanced by 30%. (duration: ten minutes)]
[Dark Power: After use, Dark-type moves are enhanced by 30%. (duration: ten minutes)]
Julian directly purchased these four items from the System Shop. They weren't particularly expensive—100,000 points total.
Of course, that was because Bisharp's level was relatively low.
If it had been Metagross, each of these items would have cost one million points.
The System would never allow Julian to exploit such loopholes. The price of these strength-enhancing items was determined by the Pokémon's own strength.
The stronger the Pokémon, the higher the price.
After using these four items, Bisharp's aura visibly intensified, and its level temporarily rose to 66.
Now it was capable of fighting that mid-stage Elite Bisharp.
However, the Bisharp leader had no intention of fighting at all. It even wore an expression that clearly said, 'I look down on you; you're not worthy of battling me.'
As if dismissing a pest, it sent out an early-stage Elite Bisharp to battle instead.
But that wouldn't do.
For his Bisharp to evolve into Kingambit, it had to defeat the leader of the group.
"Metagross."
Julian called out softly.
Metagross immediately understood.
The next moment, aside from the Bisharp leader, all the other Bisharp and Pawniard suddenly found themselves unable to move.
"Defeat my Bisharp, and your clan members will be fine."
With its entire clan being threatened by Julian, the Bisharp leader had no choice but to agree.
Moreover, it clearly understood that since Metagross could control its entire clan so easily, eliminating them would be effortless as well.
"If you lose, I will kill all your clan members."
Julian felt that this Bisharp needed a bit of motivation, so he deliberately added that line. He was worried that it might hold back in the battle because its clan was in Julian's hands.
Originally, the Bisharp leader was indeed distracted by its clan being under Julian's control, unable to focus entirely on the fight.
But upon hearing Julian's words—
Its eyes immediately turned red, and a violent killing intent surged out.
Now it had no retreat; it absolutely had to defeat the Bisharp in front of it.
An intense fighting spirit and killing intent assaulted Julian's Bisharp. Any Pokémon with a weaker will would have been terrified into immobility.
But Julian's Bisharp wasn't just any Pokémon.
Its willpower was so astonishing that even Julian had been impressed by it. Otherwise, he would never have made an exception and captured a Pawniard with only Green-grade potential back then.
Bang!
As the Bisharp leader's Slash came down, Julian's Bisharp met it with the same move.
When their arm blades collided, sparks flew into the air.
Not intending to continue the contest of strength, the Bisharp leader changed tactics. It lightly stepped back, retreating its body while emitting a piercing Metal Sound from its mouth.
Julian's Bisharp used Swords Dance. And as its body spun, it blocked out the Metal Sound, not only successfully defending against it but also boosting its own attack power.
Seeing that Metal Sound had failed, the Bisharp leader showed no disappointment in its eyes.
It stomped its foot, cracking the ground beneath, and with the added force, its body transformed into a streak of light.
The distance between the two Bisharp had already been close. With its full burst of speed, it was almost like teleportation, appearing directly in front of Julian's Bisharp.
Raising its bladed arm, enhanced by Steel-type energy, the blade extended into a three-to-four-meter-long edge. As it swung down, the air itself tore with a sharp, piercing screech.
At this moment, Julian's Bisharp had just finished its Swords Dance.
Looking up at the incoming Guillotine, a glint flashed in its eyes. Just as the attack was about to land, a emerald-green Protect shimmered into existence, barely in time.
Although Protect lasted less than a second, it was enough for Bisharp to dodge.
BOOM!!
Shattering the Protect, the Guillotine's remaining force crashed into the ground, carving a fissure several hundred meters long into the earth.
Unfortunately, it failed to hit Julian's Bisharp.
Having his surefire strike dodged, the Bisharp leader felt a twinge of disappointment and anxiety deep inside.
