Chapter 135: The Golden Pearl Treasure

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Golden Pearl Treasure

A/N:5/8 Bonus Chapters

-----------------------

The ancient writing on the golden pearl could be studied carefully once he returned to the Gym.

Julian smiled and said, "Gengar, thank you for the gift. I really like it."

Gengar let out a proud, wicked giggle.

As the most evil Gengar in the whole world, he understood very well what kind of gifts humans liked.

It was getting late. They needed to go and see how Kai’s training was going.

Julian understood Kai’s personality. When arranging his training volume, he had not pushed it to Kai’s limit.

He had deliberately left some room for Kai to add extra training.

Combined with Kai’s unique recovery ability, it would not leave hidden injuries in his body.

This apprentice of his really did have a bit of the Green Beast about him.

That man’s success could not be separated from ten years of relentless hard training.

But the training method of the Eight Gates harmed the body far too much.

Night Guy was excellent. No doubt about that.

But the Might family line had also ended because of it.

In the Pokémon world, there were many ways to maintain a martial artist’s body.

With Julian using Aura to check Kai’s body, there was no need to worry about him overtaxing himself too much.

Before leaving, Julian pointed at the stones Electabuzz used for training.

"The largest stone can become the lightest weight you use after evolving."

"You need to choose new medium and heavy stones according to that ratio."

Electabuzz nodded. Just now, he had also tried lifting all three stones.

The largest one really did feel similar to the smallest one from before.

"There are many stones over there. You can come with me and pick two. I’ll help you carry them back."

Electabuzz nodded.

They arrived at the rocky mountain path where Kai and Geodude were training.

Sure enough, this kid Kai had added more practice!

Kai was holding a stone and doing squats.

"Six hundred and sixty-six!"

"Six hundred and sixty-seven!"

Julian shook his head.

"Kai, pause your training first."

They both immediately stopped, panting as they greeted him.

"Master."

"Kai, did you complete the training I arranged?"

Kai nodded.

"I completed it. But because I didn’t complete the training in one go, as punishment, I need to add one thousand push-ups and one thousand squats."

Julian used Aura on Kai and confirmed there were no problems with his body.

"Fine. Finish the remaining squats, then drink your nutritional supplement."

Kai nodded and continued burning with youth.

Geodude had also used a rope to tie a stone beneath himself, bending his arms while upside down in the same way Kai was doing squats.

Julian took Electabuzz along the mountain path to choose stones.

They found two stones of suitable weight without any effort.

But their shapes were not good.

Julian released Gallade.

"Gallade, use Brick Break to help Electabuzz trim these two stones."

Gallade nodded, kicked the medium-sized stone into the air, then extended his elbow blade and leapt up, trimming the stone flat so Electabuzz would not be hurt by rough edges during training.

He left two handles, making it convenient for Electabuzz to grip.

Then came the large stone. Gallade stretched out both hands and threw it into the air.

Once again, before the stone landed, he trimmed it smooth.

Electabuzz watched Gallade’s move in a daze.

Then, facing a small rock nearby, his arm suddenly chopped down.

The small rock was directly split in half by Electabuzz.

Julian raised an eyebrow.

"Brick Break?"

Electabuzz’s comprehension was actually this outstanding too?

Because he trained Thunder Punch, the muscles in Electabuzz’s arms were already well developed.

For him to learn Brick Break, all he needed was to grasp the technique.

He had long satisfied the conditions to use the move.

Julian smiled and said, "Electabuzz, your Brick Break still has a few small flaws. The correct way to use Brick Break should be like this."

As he spoke, Julian’s palm shaped itself like a blade, wrapped in faint white airflow, and he chopped another small rock cleanly in half.

Kai’s eyes instantly widened.

"Master, I want to learn that!"

Julian waved his hand.

"Kai, don’t rush. I’ll teach it to you."

Kai nodded and continued seriously doing squats.

Electabuzz was also somewhat surprised. Julian’s move had indeed been used very skilfully.

Although its power was not as great as Gallade’s Brick Break, the technique itself was very refined.

If he learned Brick Break by following Julian’s example, Electabuzz felt he would improve quickly.

After sending the stones back to Electabuzz’s home, Julian waved goodbye to him.

"Electabuzz, goodbye. Next time, I’ll bring Combusken to battle you again."

Electabuzz nodded. Compared to Sirfetch’d, he also felt Combusken was more suited to be his opponent.

When Julian returned, Kai had just finished one thousand squats.

After drinking the nutritional supplement, Kai followed the stretching exercises Julian had taught him to circulate his blood and recover energy.

The two of them sent Gengar back to the pool together. Julian smiled and stroked Gengar’s head.

"When I rest in a few days, I’ll come back and play the little duck race with you again."

Gengar nodded repeatedly.

The race had to be played with a friend. Only then was it interesting.

To Julian, catching Pokémon was like cooking. Timing was extremely important.

Through this visit, he had brought himself closer to Gengar and Electabuzz.

But the timing was not quite right yet.

When he visited Gengar next time, he should be able to catch him.

As for Electabuzz, perhaps he would have to wait until autumn, when the Berries welcomed their harvest, before Julian could bring up the invitation to join his team.

After returning to Veilstone Gym, Julian began deciphering the ancient writing on the golden pearl.

His luck was good. It happened to be a type of ancient script he had studied.

The golden pearl was not very large, but the writing on it was extremely small.

Such a small pearl actually recorded quite a lot of content.

According to what Julian deciphered, the golden pearl belonged to an ancient tribe. Before encountering destruction, they stored some treasures they could not take with them inside Mt. Coronet.

Mt. Coronet was enormous. Who knew where that ancient tribe had hidden the treasure?

The golden pearl was the key to opening the treasure.

On the night of the full moon, by throwing the golden pearl into Crescent Spring, the seal on the treasure could be opened.

Once the golden pearl was activated, it would guide its holder to the correct direction of the treasure.

However, the pearl did not record the method for activating it.

Julian first tried using qi, only to discover that the golden pearl had no reaction to it at all.

Then he tried psychic power. He vaguely sensed the seal inside the pearl.

But psychic power could not open it.

Finally, he tried Aura.

Although Aura was not the correct activation method for the golden pearl either, like a wire used to pick a lock, it could open the seal.

Julian only needed to try a few more times.

The treasure of an ancient tribe...

Or rather, an ancient ruin!

To Professor Carolina, it should have considerable value.

Julian planned to wait until he found the specific location of the ancient treasure.

Then he would invite Professor Carolina to jointly develop that ancient ruin.

He would take the treasures, and the ancient documents would be left to Professor Carolina for research.

A tribe that used this kind of ancient script should not have been weak.

Even after so many years, the high-quality treasures that tribe had collected should not have become rotten or ruined.

Many treasures would lose their former power under the erosion of time.

Items that remained preserved were truly valuable treasures.
