Chapter 969: Singing
On stage, Julian made a downward pressing gesture with his hand, and immediately the applause from the audience gradually faded until it completely disappeared.
A concert hall with over a hundred thousand people was now utterly silent.
The level of control spoke for itself.
Holding the microphone, Julian said, "I became a registered trainer at 17, won first place in the Yale Province High School League individual competition at 18, and was specially recruited to Imperial University that same year."
"Also at 18, I participated in the Hundred Schools League. My performance was decent—I took first place."
"At 20, I became an Elite trainer. It seems like nothing special, and really it's not that difficult."
"At 22, I became a Champion. That was a bit challenging, and there was also some opportunities involved."
"I’m almost 23 now."
"That’s right, I’m saying all this just to show off, hahaha!"
Julian laughed heartily, then continued, "The profession of a trainer, as I think everyone knows, is incredibly dangerous. Even I have faced life-and-death crises several times along the way."
"If you are exceptional enough, this profession will bring you money, power, and glory, but also dangers."
"This is a path filled with thorns. The road ahead is long, but with our Pokémon by our side, let us encourage one another."
As his words ended, a line of text appeared on the large screen behind him, accompanied by the sound of music.
Song: "Aim to Be a Pokémon Master"
Lyrics: Julian
Composition: Julian
Performed by: Julian
[T/N: You can find this on youtube by the name of "Mezase Pokémon Master" sung by: Rica Matsumoto, the real voice actor of Satoshi (Ash). In fact this is the theme song that plays in the final Leon vs Ash battle in the original Japanese episode. Their isn't any official English translation for the lyrics, so yeah don't pay them much mind. The lyrics here are a mix of this and from a fan made cover I found.]
The "Master" rank was above Champion, but since its inception, no trainer had ever reached it. Because to become a Master, one had to have a First-class Legendary.
From this perspective, Julian had actually already achieved it, but one could also say he hadn’t, because the First-class Legendaries he had captured were not trained by him.
As the music began, Julian’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
"Pokémon, I will get you!"
The passionate words, filled with anticipation for a future trainer’s journey, rang out.
"Through the fire and the water and the grass and in the forest—
My best efforts I'll exert~"
He walked across the stage, his body slightly leaning forward.
"Also deep inside the ground and way up high above the clouds—
And even under that girl's skirt~"
"It’s really, really—
Really, really tuff but~"
The words, "It's really, really—really, really tuff—" resonated deeply with the vast majority of trainers. This profession truly was arduous. Even if you came from a great clan, from a prestigious family, the sweat you must shed was not one drop less.
"Gonna get you for sure! Gonna get you, Pokemon!"
"Yea-i-yea-i-yea-i-yea-i-yea-i-yea-i-yea-i-yeah~"
"So long Lake Town, sayonara bye bye~"
The lyrics were slightly adapted; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.
"My journey starts today, with my pal~"
As he sang this part, Metagross appeared beside him.
"Meta!"
Metagross: 'Now you know who the true main partner is, right?'
The silver Metagross floated beside Julian, steady and reliable.
Julian extended his fist and gently bumped it against Metagross's claw.
"We'll win at every battle, with moves we’ve honed~"
—
Line by line, the song continued. His singing was steady and powerful, his voice and technique undoubtedly top-tier.
There was no shortage of professional singers in the audience, and many of them wore expressions of surprise. They never expected the famous Champion Walker to have singing prowess that matched his trainer rank—so impressive it was absurd.
This level of skill could rival even Catherine.
Hannah's mouth was slightly agape. She had no idea Julian could sing this well. This level of professionalism—it completely surpassed her.
"Wiped out from my battles, sleep well, good-night~"
"If I just close my eyes, the memories replay~"
"A flame burns deep inside me, a wind blows like a roar~"
As he reached the passionate part of the song, Julian felt his clothes were hindering his performance. So, he simply took off his suit jacket.
He revealed his strong upper body: broad shoulders, a narrow waist, well-defined pectoral muscles, an eight-pack below, and solid biceps subtly flexing.
His entire upper torso was like an ancient Greek sculpture—flawless to the extreme.
Sweat slowly traced a path from his cheek down his neck, flowing over his body.
An aura of raw hormones washed over the crowd.
Whether it was the live audience or those watching the stream, seeing this scene, they instantly erupted.
---
> "Ahhhhhhhh!"
> "Is this something I can watch without paying?!"
> "It's over, it's over. As a fellow man, is Champion Walker trying to kill us?"
> "Sisters, quick, start licking the screen!"
> "I'm already soaked."
> "I want to lick all the sweat off his body..."
---
"That a friend you had today will be your friend the next day too~"
"And that's a friend who'll stay with you~"
"Ah, how I long to be a Pokemon Master~"
"Wish I could be one, gotta become one~"
As he sang to this part, Jirachi appeared.
Julian felt a bit puzzled, thinking, 'I didn't ask you to come out, why are you showing up?'
Jirachi indicated that since it was talking about a wish, that clearly meant itself.
Julian scooped Jirachi up and placed it on his shoulder.
He continued singing:
"It's destiny's call~"
"I'll give it my all~"
"Dreams will come true one day."
"That's just what I'm gonna do!"
At this moment, Celebi also appeared. Without giving it a chance to show off, Julian grabbed it and placed it on his other shoulder.
Then, the Poké Balls at his waist began to shake one by one. In the next second, over a dozen beams of light flashed.
Dragonite, Melmetal, Lucario, Arcanine, Steelix, Aggron, Slowking, and more—even Reshiram and Zekrom emerged, dancing above Julian's head.
With the appearance of Julian's Pokémon, the atmosphere reached its absolute peak. Everyone was screaming wildly, waving their glow sticks with frenzied expressions.
> "Someone fainted over here!"
> "We have people fainting here too!"
> "Doctor! We need a doctor!"
The excitement was overwhelming. The intense shouting caused the oxygen levels in the area to drop, and some individuals with weaker constitutions fainted due to temporary hypoxia and excessive agitation.
Fortunately, the concert preparations were thorough. Medical teams quickly arrived and began providing on-site treatment.
"It's destiny's call~"
"I'll give it my all~"
"That's just what I'm gonna do!"
As the music faded, Julian sang the final lines, breathing a little heavily as he listened to the cheers of the live audience, and to his own heart, pounding fiercely in his chest.
Julian began to understand why singers loved holding concerts so much. Besides making money, the atmosphere at a concert was truly intoxicating—making you forget yourself and all your worries.
This feeling was completely different from battling.
No wonder many professional trainers enjoyed taking on side gigs in the entertainment industry.
Five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes passed...
It took nearly half an hour for the atmosphere in the venue to gradually calm down. Only then did many people realize their voices had gone hoarse from shouting.
Taking the water Hannah handed him, Julian drank it in large gulps. 'Damn, singing is really exhausting.'
He had only sung one song, while Hannah had sung over a dozen. How had she not collapsed from exhaustion?
Watching Julian tilt his head back to drink, Hannah subconsciously reached out, wanting to touch his pectoral muscles. Just as her fingers were about to make contact, she suddenly snapped back to reality and hurriedly pulled her hand back.
Her face flushed red instantly, and she felt a pang of regret. 'I already reached out... why did I pull back...'
