Chapter 964: Face Judgment
The incident of Julian getting into a fight and effortlessly winning shot straight to the top of the trending charts, even gaining traction internationally.
Julian found the whole thing quite novel. He opened a related webpage and skipped straight to the comments—often, the comments were far more entertaining than the articles themselves. Netizens were a remarkably talented bunch.

> "This was the one chance anyone had to beat a Champion, and that useless guy still lost."
> "Was all that muscle just for show? Time to double the training."
> "So Champion Walker is this skilled in hand-to-hand combat too?"
> "Here’s a joke: a professional Trainer who can’t fight."
> "I’m actually jealous of that guy—he got beaten up by Champion Walker."
> "Arcanine took on two, and Champion Walker defeated their Trainer. A double victory."
Many were discussing why Julian was so adept in combat. After all, judging by the other guy’s movements, he wasn’t exactly weak—yet Julian took him down in one move.
Most professional Trainers were quite capable fighters themselves. In the wild or in Secret Realms, your Pokémon couldn’t protect you every second. Having some self-defense skills greatly increased your chances of survival.
> "I’m Champion Walker’s junior at Imperial University. The story of him defeating the inheritor of Baji-quan is still legendary on campus."

Aside from Julian, the other "protagonist" of the incident also went viral.
It was only after a friend notified him that he realized the "pretentious guy" who beat him yesterday was actually Champion Walker. Instead of being angry, the guy was thrilled.
He was one of the few people in the world who had the opportunity to spar with Champion Walker in a real fight. Even an Elite Trainer might not have had the chance to spar with Champion Walker like that.
As for losing? That was a given. His opponent was Champion Walker—there was no shame in losing. If anything, it was an honor.
Far from causing any negative fallout, the fight actually boosted Julian’s popularity even further.
Given Julian’s status, if he had really wanted to do something to that man, no one would ever know how he disappeared. But Julian did nothing of the sort—he just fought him, without even seriously injuring him.
This attitude made many people feel that Julian wasn’t some distant, untouchable figure. He was just like everyone else—he got angry, he got into fights.
It was a pity he won—if he had lost, the entertainment would have been even greater.
Because of this, Julian even updated his TikTok.
"I can take on ten!"
A video paired with his fierce expression made the whole thing even more amusing for everyone.
Meanwhile, Celebi and Jirachi were expressing their discontent. Julian got into a fight and didn’t even call them? Such a showy moment and they missed it!
"Dee!"
Love, who usually watched TV or browsed its phone after finishing housework, naturally also heard about Julian's fight.
Her cub actually got into a fight—Love was angry.
Watching the video, it was clear that the other guy threw the first punch.
Her cub was so well-behaved, how could that person hit him?
Thankfully, he wasn't hurt.
"From now on, if there's fighting, let Metagross and the others handle it, understand? What if you get hurt?"
Love looked sternly at Julian. Fighting—such rough work—wasn't suitable for him.
"Love, don't worry. Against guys like that, even a hundred wouldn't be my match."
Julian flexed his bicep to Love. It must be said, the muscle definition was quite impressive.
"So you still want to fight?"
Meeting Love's stern gaze, Julian immediately sensed danger and hurriedly said, "Of course not! Fighting is too dangerous. If you lose, you go to the hospital; if you win, you go to jail. It's not worth it, not worth it. Next time, I'll just let Arcanine bite them."
Love nodded in satisfaction.
After asking Julian what he wanted for dinner, it left with its little apprentice, Magearna.
As for Slowking, it was now known in Lake City as "Master Slowking."
Today, Slowking was serving as a judge at a culinary competition hosted by Lake City's Chef Association, so it didn't have time to keep an eye on Julian. But with Love around, Slowking felt perfectly at ease.
Munching on the fruit Love had sliced before leaving, Julian idly flipped through TV channels, feeling a bit bored and unsure how to kill time.
"Julian, let's play Pokémon Glory!"
Celebi and Jirachi flew over holding a phone.
"Oh, right, I forgot you got reported for feeding and your credibility score is too low to play ranked matches."
Celebi really knew how to deliver sarcasm.
As soon as this was mentioned, Julian became annoyed. He grabbed both sides of Celebi's cheeks with his hands, "You have the nerve to say that! It was you who reported me, I saw it!"
"Who told you to throw the game?! 0 kills, 20 deaths, 1 assist! You sabotaged my promotion match like that!"
Celebi was furious too. Because of Julian, it failed its promotion match, then went on a losing streak afterward. Now, forget promoting—even maintaining its Star rank was uncertain.
"How is that my fault?! The Support stayed with the Off-laner, their Mid and Jungler kept ganking me, and you and Jirachi were glued together as a duo. The Jungler and Mage were a couple. I was an orphan with no one watching my back!"
Julian held Celebi’s cheeks with both hands. The more he spoke, the angrier he got, and naturally the stronger his grip became, making Celebi bare its teeth in pain.
Celebi smacked Julian's hands away. "Didn't you always boast about taking on 1v5? It was only 1v4 and you already got crushed. Don't brag anymore!"
"I held off four enemies by myself, and you four couldn't even defeat one. You're all trash!"
"You're the trash!"
"You're trash!"
"You're the biggest trash!"
"Greatest trash!"
Celebi even stopped playing the game and started trading insults with Julian.
Watching this, Jirachi just shook its head, muttering "Kids these days..." Then it quietly picked up Celebi's phone and tried to order fried chicken delivery.
But the app showed insufficient balance.
It had clearly seen Celebi top up 100 yesterday—how could it be out of money already?
Unless... Celebi ordered food behind its back?
Come to think of it, Celebi did disappear for a while yesterday and claimed it was sleeping upstairs. Turns out it was secretly ordering food, huh?
No wonder its face looked oily at the time.
Thinking about how it always shared its own orders with Celebi, Jirachi instantly felt cold inside. Its genuine kindness had been fed to a dog.
So it charged over, pinned Celebi down on the sofa, and shouted to Julian, "Julian! I'm holding it down! Spank its butt! Punish this selfish jerk who eats alone!"
Celebi was stunned. Why did its buddy suddenly "betray" it? Then, hearing Jirachi's words, it immediately realized yesterday's solo feast had been exposed.
Just as it tried to explain, its backside got slapped by Julian.
"Here, I'll hold it—you do the spanking!"
Julian held Celebi down so Jirachi could vent too.
"People who hog food are unforgivable! Face judgment, Celebi!"
Jirachi pulled out a fly swatter from who knows where and whacked Celebi's rear end mercilessly.
