Chapter 971: Rare Candies
The next day, Julian’s onstage performance at the concert naturally caused a sensation throughout Drakoria and even the entire world.
Basically, news outlets in countries around the globe reported on the event.
In Drakoria, it became the top trending topic, with even the top five trending topics all related to Julian.

> "Even his singing is this amazing, how are other trainers supposed to compete?"
> "To the lady who got Champion Walker’s clothes, please contact me if you see this message. I’m willing to pay three million for that piece of clothing."
> "That outfit is high-end custom, with a total cost of nearly a million. I’ll offer six million."
> "Abs, abs—am I the only one whose eyes were glued to those abs?"
> "The only person in this world more handsome and stylish than me is Champion Walker."
> "Hannah, what were you trying to do with your hands?"

Julian’s move had practically reset the entire entertainment industry.
With that professional singing skill and voice, along with the infuriatingly good looks and physique, if this guy were to enter the entertainment industry, there probably wouldn’t be much left for the others.
And wealthy women absolutely adored Julian’s type.
As for the song Julian performed, "Aim to Be a Pokémon Master," it became the number one in downloads and clicks across all major music platforms.
The quality of the song was outstanding; it wasn't just a fast-paced hit that would fade quickly. It was safe to say that this song could remain popular for decades.
Pokémon, Pocket Monsters, and Poké—these terms all referred to the same creatures known as Pokémon. Due to cultural and translation differences, the names varied.
In Drakoria, for things like songs, they were more commonly called as "Pocket Monsters."
So many people wondered why Julian’s song was titled "Aim to Be a Pokémon Master" instead of "Aim to Be a Pocket Monster Master."
Julian: 'The system gave it this title, and I couldn’t be bothered to change it.'
However, in Formosa, many people referred to them as "Pokémon" rather than "Pocket Monsters."
As for the relationship between Formosa and Drakoria, the whole world knew about it.
So, many people even speculated whether Champion Walker had some intentions regarding them.
The high-level officials in Formosa held an emergency meeting overnight, and as of this morning, no conclusions had been reached.
If Julian truly had any intentions toward them, there was simply no way they could resist.
Now, even Celestria dared not to interfere in matters between Formosa and Drakoria.
As for the central figure in all this, Julian, after finishing breakfast, went to the Cavendish family's indoor battle arena. It was practically empty inside, as the family head had already cleared everyone out.
"Aggron."
Along with a slight trembling of the ground, the Totem-class Aggron appeared before Julian.
He took out four Rare Candies, rewards from the system for completing yesterday's Temporary Mission. These four Rare Candies could only be used on Pokémon below the Champion tier.
Currently, Aggron was at level 88, the highest among Julian's Pokémon below Champion-level.
Seeing the candy in its trainer's hand, Aggron's eyes instantly lit up. It had eaten quite a few of these candies and knew that consuming them would raise its level.
All of Julian's Pokémon had eaten Rare Candies before.
Pawniard: 'I haven't eaten any.'
"Here."
Julian tossed three Rare Candies toward Aggron, who opened its mouth and swallowed them directly.
The next second, Aggron's aura began to rise.
89… 90…
Very quickly, its level rose by two, reaching the peak of Pseudo-Champion level.
However, the rising aura suddenly paused. Julian thought that the 'buff stacking' had failed and that one Rare Candy had been wasted.
But then, Aggron's aura surged once more, instantly breaking through to level 91, becoming a Champion-level Pokémon.
"ROAR!!"
The turbulent, surging power within its body caused Aggron to let out an incomparably exhilarated roar. The soundwave, accompanied by the Champion-level aura, continuously spread outwards in all directions.
At this moment, every Pokémon in the Cavendish family estate trembled in fear; even Elite-level Pokémon did not dare to move.
The Champion-level aura spread across more than half of Orient City, though it was, of course, continuously weakening.
Even so, it still affected tens of thousands of Pokémon, and all major families in Orient City sensed the abnormality.
On the streets of Orient City, many Pokémon were so frightened that they stayed frozen in place, refusing to budge no matter how their trainers spoke to or scolded them.
Many people had no idea why their Pokémon had suddenly become like this.
Even some of the prominent families could not understand it.
Of course, those families in Orient City that had produced Champion-level Pokémon knew what was most likely causing this situation.
The Heath family matriarch, also Ember's grandmother, sensed this aura and looked in the direction of the Cavendish family.
"Could it be that some family has produced a Champion-level Trainer?" a Hearth family elder exclaimed in shock.
He had once witnessed up close the process of a peak Pseudo-Champion Pokémon breaking through to the Champion-level. That aura was exactly the same as what he felt now.
Moreover, this current aura seemed even stronger than what he had experienced before.
"…The Cavendish family is the most likely source from this direction."
"But the strongest in the Cavendish family is Evelyn, and she's not even at the peak of Pseudo-Champion!"
"This is strange. Could the Cavendish family have been hiding a peak Pseudo-Champion all along?"
"If that's really the case, then the power structure of Orient City is about to change."
Every major family had its own hidden trump cards and concealed strength. But if the Cavendish family truly had been hiding a peak Pseudo-Champion Trainer, then their concealment had been far too deep.
They would be the ultimate stealth masters, the kings of playing it low-key.
"It's not the Cavendish family. It's Julian. He's currently at the family visiting his grandmother. If I'm not mistaken, it's his Pokémon that has broken through," the family matriarch said calmly.
The fact that Julian was in Orient City was now known to the whole world.
"No way! His Gengar just broke through to the Champion-level not long ago. Now another one?" A certain elder's pupils dilated slightly, seemingly unable to believe it.
Julian became a Champion at age 22, and now he wasn't even 23 yet. That meant in this past half-year or so, he went from having one Champion-level Pokémon to now having four.
Since when did the barrier for breaking through from peak Pseudo-Champion to Champion become easier than advancing from pseudo-Elite to Elite?
In Drakoria, there were over a dozen known peak Pseudo-Champion Trainers, and each major family likely hid a few more, bringing the estimated total to around seventy or eighty.
Look at Brandon, the head of the military. He had been stuck at the Pseudo-Champion peak for over a decade, with not a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough.
Then look at Julian. In just over half a year, he had four Champion-level Pokémon. No one would believe it if you said it out loud.
But now, the facts were right before their eyes.
This Champion-level Pokémon aura was, with very high probability, really Julian’s.
