Chapter 241: Garchomp: Now I Lack Nothing

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Garchomp: Now I Lack Nothing

A/N:3/4 Bonus Chapters

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

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Through his battle with Machamp, Julian proved the strength he now possessed.

He personally joined in and led his Pokémon through training.

For a martial artist, as well as reckless types like Ash, this kind of hands-on teaching method was direct, simple, and effective.

In truth, there was no need to prove anything.

Miraidon had the most say.

Julian had already been strong before, but now there was an inexplicable pressure around him too.

When Miraidon saw Julian, his first reaction was to rush up and fight him.

But his second reaction was to shrink his neck and obediently train.

Compared to before, the current Julian felt even more like a ferocious dragon wearing human skin.

He did not dare move carelessly at all.

He obediently followed Julian’s instructions and trained.

Even Miraidon’s least favourite physical training had successfully increased in intensity by thirty percent over these seven days.

Julian combined all his abilities, sharpening the blade for seven days. Fast, clean, and effective.

Julian stood with his hands behind his back.

"The Pokémon coming with me on this adventure will be Hakamo-o."

Hakamo-o stepped forward, revealing the steadiness of a starter Pokémon.

"Gallade."

Gallade stepped forward, his elbow blades shining with the edge in his heart.

"Goodra. Miraidon."

Goodra stepped forward, curiosity in her eyes.

She wanted to know whether the forest contained Pokémon from her era.

Miraidon looked somewhat helpless.

A place that sounded dangerous like this was somewhere he truly did not want to go.

"Sirfetch’d. Toxicroak."

Toxicroak’s gaze was cold, looking forward to the challenge ahead.

Sirfetch’d’s face remained expressionless.

Wherever Julian told him to strike, he would strike!

"Combusken. Electabuzz."

Combusken and Electabuzz glanced at each other. Both looked eager and impatient.

"Primeape. Gengar."

Primeape let out a breath of relief.

His recent Rage Fist training had indeed been a little aggressive.

He had thought he would be left behind to cultivate his mind and temper his arrogance.

Unexpectedly, he could still participate.

Gengar flew around with a grin. As long as a place sounded interesting, he wanted to go and take a look.

As long as it did not involve the title of most evil Gengar, Gengar was very friendly.

"Eevee. Bagon!"

He was only bringing them to feel the atmosphere. In truth, there was basically no chance for the two of them to appear in battle.

Even so, Eevee and Bagon were so excited they jumped around.

"Veevee!"

"Gaha~"

The specially made belt could hold six Poké Balls on each side.

With Julian’s control over his body, there would be no situation where he could not throw a Poké Ball in time.

Since he also had to bring quite a few gifts for the researchers at the History Research Institute, Julian still rented a car. The gifts filled the boot completely.

Before he left, Darius waved his fist.

"Work hard. Try to bring your girlfriend home soon."

"Last month, because the number and quality of Trainers we received improved during this period, the League issued a subsidy of three hundred thousand."

"I heard there’s also a set of Fighting-type Essences. As for exactly when they’ll be delivered, I’m not too sure."

Julian raised an eyebrow.

"That much? How many bottles are in a set?"

Darius shook his head.

"I’m not sure, but it should be six bottles?"

The corner of Julian’s mouth twitched.

Previously, Veilstone Gym had always received the bare minimum. That had made Julian mistakenly think that Gym subsidies only consisted of a few hundred thousand cold League dollars each month.

So there were also expensive, precious essences!

"When will they arrive?"

Last time, Julian had bought a few, and afterwards not only had he run out of money, but the market had run out of stock too.

Energy Essences were not the kind of item that could be mass-produced.

They were sold at Pokémon Centres, but Miss Joy would not sell them to just anyone.

A Trainer’s potential was also part of the requirement.

Darius thought for a moment.

"Maybe next week? Once you come back, I’ll give them all to you. That way, you’ll have a better chance of passing the assessment."

Julian blinked.

"Is the Gym assessment that difficult?"

Darius nodded.

"In any case, I had to go through endless hardship to pass it back then."

Julian thought about his Pokémon.

Hakamo-o, Gallade, Primeape, Sirfetch’d, and Toxicroak should all be fine.

Combusken was still a little immature. He would have to give Combusken more opportunities to grow next.

What if the assessment was a six-on-six battle?

After driving to the History Research Institute, Julian took out all kinds of snacks and incense and distributed them to everyone.

"Eiko, where’s Cassia?"

Eiko smiled.

"Cassia went to handle a newly discovered ruin. For the details, you should call her and ask."

Julian knowingly asked, "Why has Cassia gone on another business trip?"

Cynthia walked out of the research institute with a cold expression.

"You still ask why? Don’t you know the reason yourself?"

Cynthia pulled Julian out of the research institute and into a corner, then questioned him.

"Last time, I created such a good opportunity for you. What did you do with it?"

Julian scratched his hair.

"I just felt I wasn’t ready. It would’ve been too sudden. Next time."

Cynthia glared at Julian.

"Next time? I won’t help you again!"

Julian cheerfully took out the TM and handed it to Cynthia.

"Don’t be angry. I prepared a special gift for you. Guess what this is?"

Cynthia opened it and looked at Julian in confusion.

"Why are you giving me a TM?"

Julian smiled and asked, "What move do you think this TM contains?"

Looking at Julian’s deliberately suggestive expression, Cynthia suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Don’t tell me this is a Dragon Dance TM?"

Cynthia narrowed her eyes, a dangerous light appearing in them.

Julian nodded, as if he had not sensed the killing intent at all.

"That’s right. It’s Dragon Dance. And it’s a Dragon Dance that Garchomp can use!"

Cynthia’s eyes widened.

"Are you sure?"

"Whether it works or not, won’t we know once Garchomp tries it? Don’t worry. The source is guaranteed. It took a lot of effort to get."

Cynthia immediately went into the research institute and took out a TM machine.

She inserted the disc, released Garchomp, and had her wear the machine.

Very soon, the method of using Dragon Dance was transmitted to Garchomp.

Cynthia removed the machine and looked at Garchomp nervously.

"How is it?"

Garchomp nodded firmly, then somewhat stiffly used Dragon Dance.

Cynthia was overjoyed.

"It really is Dragon Dance!"

For the sake of Dragon Dance, she would forgive Julian this once.

But there would be no next time!

After one round of Dragon Dance, Garchomp raised her head and let out a joyful roar.

Now she lacked nothing!

The TM popped out of the machine. Its colour was somewhat dimmer, but it had not shattered into particles like a one-time-use disc.

Cynthia’s eyes widened.

"It can actually be used multiple times?"

"Julian, where did you get such a treasure?"

Julian was also somewhat surprised. He had originally thought it was a one-time-use disc too.

As expected of a system product. It had to be high quality!

Hm?

Since Dragon Dance could be used multiple times, then Electro Shot...

Did that mean it could be reused too?

Garchomp used Dragon Dance several times. In less than half an hour, she was already very proficient and could use it in actual battle.

Cynthia revealed powerful fighting intent.

"Julian, are you ready?"

Julian smiled slightly.

"Of course."

With Garchomp gaining Dragon Dance, Cynthia was filled with confidence.

The current her was invincible!
