Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 949: Chapter 1166: Jake Is Back

"Son, I heard you've caught another First-class Legendary."

After finishing breakfast, Julian was lying in the backyard on Arcanine's belly, basking in the sun. The sunlight shone on him, making him feel completely lazy and relaxed.

"Dad, you're out already?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Julian immediately turned to look and saw his father walking toward him.

"What do you mean 'out'? Makes it sound like I was locked up somewhere."

Jake pursed his lips, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Where's Grandpa?"

Julian didn't see John.

"Your grandfather went to Orient City to visit your grandmother," Jake said.

"Grandpa went alone? Won't they end up arguing, then?" Julian asked worriedly.

Both his grandparents had strong and stubborn personalities—that was one of the reasons they divorced. If they met alone, Julian felt they might end up fighting.

"They're definitely going to argue," Jake said.

He could already imagine John trying to show off his five Champion-level Pokémon in front of his mother—only to get scolded in return.

'Hmph, serves you right for always favoring this rebellious brat.'

"Dad, control your expression a bit."

Seeing the barely concealed schadenfreude on Jake's face, Julian felt speechless.

They were your own parents. Can't you hope for something better for them?

"There's nothing wrong with my expression, kid. Don't talk nonsense," Jake warned.

"Mhm-mm."

Julian nodded.

"How were the gains from the secret realm this time?" Julian asked.

At that, Jake became visibly excited. "Huge. My Aggron has reached the Champion tier—I have two Champion-level Pokémon now."

"Your grandfather's Scizor also broke through to the Champion tier."

"Doesn't that mean Grandpa now has five Champion-level Pokémon?"

"Yeah."

"What about the others?"

Just like last time, all of Drakoria's Champions had entered the secret realm. Since Jake and John had gained so much, the others should have as well.

"Old man Duke's Alakazam reached level 97. And that old guy William also gained another Champion-level Pokémon."

A level 97 Alakazam—that put it at late-stage Champion-level.

In terms of level alone, Duke was probably ahead of all the other Champions.

The appearance of the Primal Secret Realm had made it much easier for Champion-level trainers to improve, and it had also greatly increased the chances for peak Pseudo-Champions to break through into the Champion tier.

Of course, the danger was also extremely high.

If Julian hadn't taken the lead earlier and obtained nearly complete information about the secret realm, there was no way John and Jake would have broken through so easily.

"What about that new First-class Legendary? Let me see it," Jake said impatiently.

"Deoxys."

Julian called out, and the next second, Deoxys appeared in front of them.

Looking at Deoxys's peculiar form, Jake was full of amazement, but then spoke with obvious jealousy, "You brat really have ridiculous luck—another First-class Legendary. Why don't I ever have this kind of luck?"

"Dad, even if you do catch a First-class Legendary, you'd probably lose your life over it. If Mom remarries then, I'm not stopping her."

Julian rolled his eyes.

If it weren't for his passive ability Unown's Protection, his lifespan would have already been drained dry.

Under normal circumstances, even if a First-class Legendary was willing to follow you, the moment you commanded it—even for something as trivial as pouring you a glass of water—it would consume one or two days of your lifespan.

Moreover, unless you were at the Champion-level, even if you were a peak Pseudo-Champion commanding a willing First-class Legendary, any order you give would instantly drain your lifespan.

As for Champion-level trainers, the lifespan consumed depended on the scale of the command.

"Jade has one too. I'll just go command that one to get my fix," Jake said.

When he came out of the Primal Secret Realm, the relevant staff had informed him of everything that had happened during that time.

Among those things was the matter regarding Deoxys.

However, regarding the remnants of the Wynn family, the staff member didn't know, as Julian had handled that matter in secret.

Even though he had mobilized Drakoria's intelligence department, someone at the staff's level didn't have access to such classified information.

"Dad, while you and Grandpa were inside, the Wynn family showed up again."

Jake, who had been in a good mood, immediately turned grim upon hearing that. A cold killing intent radiated from his body.

"What did they do?"

"Of course—they tried to assassinate me."

Julian shrugged.

"And where are they now?"

"I naturally got rid of them."

The fact that Julian had nearly been poisoned to death by the Wynn family back then was an absolute nightmare for every member of the Walker family.

Don't let Jake's usual "brat this, brat that" fool anyone, deep down, this matter was something no one in the Walker family could ever let go of.

After all, Julian was his only son.

If it hadn't been for intervention at the national level back then, Jake wouldn't have just stopped at wiping out the Wynn family—he would have annihilated even their affiliate clans.

It was just that John wasn't a Champion at the time. If he had been, Jake probably would have gone through with exterminating them.

"…Are you sure they're all dead?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, this time they should be completely wiped out," Julian nodded.

He didn't go into detail, since it involved Organization Y. If he explained it, he would have to mention his deal with them as well.

After already being lectured by his Grand Uncle, Julian had no desire to be scolded again by his father—so he simply kept quiet.

"Dee!"

Bang!

Love suddenly appeared behind Jake and slammed the rolling pin it was holding directly into the back of Jake's head.

"Dee! Dee! Dee!"

Love scolded as it swung.

Love: "You couldn't even finish killing them properly!"

"Do you know my cub was almost poisoned to death again by the Wynn family?!"

"What kind of useless father are you?!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The rolling pin kept striking without pause.

Jake dodged while shouting, "Love, that was Dad's unfinished business, not mine! It wasn't me!"

Unfortunately, his movements were far too slow in Love's eyes; he couldn't dodge a single strike.

Jake understood why Love was hitting him and didn't think he was completely innocent. He just hoped Love would go a bit easier on him.

At the same time, he was already thinking about making John experience the same treatment when he got back.

Sons screwing over their fathers—it was probably a tradition of the Walkers.

"Love, Dad just got back. A hundred hits or so should be enough. He'll be home for a while, so you can hit him every day. No need to rush."

Julian said with a grin as he watched the scene unfold.

"You brat! What did you just say?! I'll beat you to death right now!"

Jake was furious and rushed toward Julian. But after just one step, his leg was struck by Love.

With a thud, he fell flat on the ground.

Then Love's rolling pin began "massaging" his back.

"Arghhh!!!"
