Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 967: Temporary Mission

"You came to watch a concert? I knew it wasn’t really to see this old lady. Watching the concert is your real goal, my dear grandson—I’m just an afterthought."

At the dining table, Julian had accidentally mentioned that he was planning to attend a concert and immediately realized his mistake. Sure enough, he saw his grandmother looking at him with a teasing expression.

"Grandma, what are you talking about? The concert is just an afterthought—seeing you is the main reason I’m here."

Julian naturally wasn’t about to admit what his grandmother had just said. He smiled as he explained, and even picked up some food for her and put it into her bowl.

Only the two of them were at the dining table—even the Cavendish family head wasn’t present. He had wanted to join, but when Evelyn said she wanted to eat alone with her dear grandson, he naturally didn’t dare to sit down.

Evelyn was practically the supreme authority in the Cavendish family now. Even the family head wouldn’t dare contradict her. After all, it was her grandson who had brought glory to the family.

"You know, although this girl comes from an ordinary background, our Walker family’s status today means we no longer need to care about origins. But if she ends up with you, she can’t keep being a celebrity. What kind of impression does it give, parading herself in public like that?"

At this point, Evelyn was clearly talking about Catherine.

However, she did harbor a certain degree of disdain for people in the entertainment industry.

This was also quite normal—those born into prominent families generally looked down on people in the show business. Almost no direct descendant of a major family would ever dabble in the entertainment industry.

Elite Catherine was an exception. She came from an ordinary background and built her capital through her acting career, eventually becoming the Fairy-type Elite.

That was why she had not given up her acting career to this day. For her now, it was more about passion than making money.

"Grandma, Hannah and I are just classmates—it’s nothing like that," Julian explained.

Even though she had shown him some very private photos, Julian adhered to a policy of not refusing, not taking responsibility, and not admitting anything.

Talking about having no woman in one’s heart and drawing a blade with divine ease—yet in reality he was extremely scummy.

"If you don’t like her, that’s fine too. Anyway, it would be her good fortune to become my dear grandson’s lover."

In Evelyn’s eyes, her grandson was the most outstanding man in the world. For a woman to marry him would be a blessing accumulated over eight lifetimes.

"But if you’re too shy to bring it up, I’ll do it for you. And there’s also the girl from the Eastbrook family—though the girl from the Aldridge family might be a bit of a stretch."

Seeing his grandmother getting further and further off track, even considering Nicole as a potential mistress, Julian quickly interrupted, "Grandma, eat your food, eat your food."

Julian stayed at the Cavendish family for a few days, during which many prominent families from Orient City came to visit. Their intentions were obvious.

The Cavendish family head didn’t dare make any decisions on his own, so he could only ask for Julian’s opinion.

Julian ended up meeting with five major families from Orient City. After all, the Cavendish family was his grandmother’s family, so he had to give them some face.

These five families were all local Orient City clans with significant influence in the city.

Originally, Julian had wanted to contact Ember, but her phone had no signal.

He figured she was probably exploring the wilderness or some Secret Realm.

The Orient City Kricketune Concert Hall was scheduled to host the concert at 6 p.m.

As the new generation national goddess, Hannah had an extremely massive fan base.

Starting from the afternoon, the roads around the concert hall were already jammed like sausages.

This was where having a flying license came in handy—you could just fly there. The skies never faced traffic jams.

Of course, if you had the money, you could also hail a flying taxi.

The starting fare was 100,000, a price that ordinary people could only admire from afar.

[Ding!]

[Temporary mission: Perform 'Aim to Be a Pokémon Master' live at the concert]

[Note: Lyrics and music have been input into Metagross’s memory]

[Mission reward: Rare Candy × 4 (usable below Champion tier), 80,000 points.]

---

Julian, who was on his way to the venue, was slightly taken aback when he heard the system's voice.

The System rarely issued Temporary Missions, but whenever it did, the rewards were quite generous.

Unfortunately, Julian still hadn’t figured out the conditions for triggering Temporary Missions. They seemed more like randomly issued tasks.

There was no way to exploit the BUG.

"Singing, huh? Aah-ah-ah, woo-oh-oh—"

Riding on Salamence’s back, Julian tested his voice. It really did sound quite good—even top-notch, actually.

This was because he had received top-tier singing skills and vocal talents as rewards from Daily Missions.

Daily Missions were issued every day, and besides the guaranteed points, the other rewards were incredibly diverse.

Things like brewing techniques, calligraphy skills, master-level piano playing, postpartum care for Tauros, trap-digging-and-ambush techniques, rebar tying skills, barista know-how, and so on.

Julian himself had no idea exactly how many skills he had mastered.

Even if he wasn’t a Trainer and didn’t have the Walker family background, he could live very comfortably just by relying on the skills he had acquired.

Soon, Julian arrived at the Kricketune Concert Hall.

Hannah and her manager, Marissa, were already waiting there. When they saw Julian jump down from his Salamence, they immediately walked over.

Marissa was a bit hesitant to approach. The aura emanating from the Salamence made her legs feel a little weak.

But Hannah had already jogged up to Julian.

Looking at Hannah’s slightly flushed face and excited eyes, Julian smiled and said, "Long time no see, big star."

Hearing Julian’s teasing tone, Hannah replied coyly, "In front of Champion Walker, I wouldn’t dare call myself a big star."

Although Julian wasn’t in the entertainment industry, he was a celebrity Trainer. He had fans—not just in Drakoria, but all around the world.

If he were to debut, he would undoubtedly become a global superstar.

"Your Bagon has already evolved into a Salamence?"

Hannah looked at Salamence. She had seen Julian’s Bagon before, but after graduation, she hadn’t seen Julian again except for the incident last time, let alone his Pokémon.

"Sal~"

Salamence also remembered Hannah and greeted her with a growl.

"Yeah, the little guy from before has grown into a reliable big fellow now."

Julian patted Salamence’s body, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

Salamence affectionately nuzzled Julian with its head.

To outsiders, Salamence appeared fierce, but in front of Julian, it was like a well-behaved cat begging for affection.

Sensing the fear of the people around him, Julian returned Salamence to its Poké Ball.

Salamence’s ability was Intimidate. Even though it had restrained itself a lot, the unconscious aura it emitted was still too much for ordinary people to withstand.

Hannah had been able to approach because she was overjoyed to see Julian, and also because she was a Trainer herself—though her Trainer rank wasn’t very high.

"Hello, Champion Walker. I’m Hannah’s manager, Marissa."

Seeing that Julian had returned Salamence to its Poké Ball and the unsettling feeling had disappeared, Marissa finally walked over.
