Julian didn't have to wait long at the entrance of the secret realm. After about ten minutes, a Pidgeot appeared in the sky and quickly swooped down, nding firmly on the ground.
Pidgeot is one of the most popur Pokémon for Traio rent or raise because it's ideal for travel, escape, and pursuit.
It's affordable, and there are plenty of Pidgey avaible as a starting point.
Many Trainers who don't specialize in Flying or Normal-types usually choose to rent Pokémon long-term. The rented Pokémon don't t toward a Trainer's official roster slot and aren't meant for battles.
"Teacher Frank?"
Julian was surprised to see that the visitor was his head teacher, Frank.
Frank looked disheveled, with his clothes torn from battle.
As ae Trainer, he'd clearly faced an equally skilled oppo.
It made sense for Frank, as ae-level Traio be among the first to reach Yuan ty, he was likely fighting the Elite trainer of Z anization.
Frank g the sleeping Pokémon and the restrained members of Team Z, all subdued by Akazam.
He hadn't realized that Julian was the one who'd stopped everything.
Feeling proud, he said, "Julian, you did well. The Trainer Association will reize your efforts and reward you accly. Thanks to you, Yuan ty and its two million residents are safe."
Julian was taken aback, uo hearing his usually strict teacher sound so expressive.
"Teacher Frank, I'll leave them in your hands."
Julian inteo hand over the criminals a, as Lucario and Slowking were still waiting for him in Yuan ty.
Despite their strength, the chaos in the ty made the situation uable.
"Solrock, restrain these people"
Frank anded, releasing his own Pokémon.
Julian looked at it with his Probing eyes.
Level 76—a mid-Elite Pokémon, though it wasn't clear if this was his teacher's trump card.
Solrock, a rare Rock/Psychic-type Pokémon, only found in some specific high-level secret realms.
Solrock used its Psychic abilities to trol the captives. Akazam then released its psychic hold auro Julian's Poké Ball in a fsh of red light.
Frank, aware that Akazam was Julian's bodyguard, didn't question it.
"Teacher, I'll head baow"
Julian said, recalliagross and Steelix.
"Yes, return to school. If anyone questions you, just tell the truth," Frank replied.
"Got it"
Julian nodded and mounted his Dragoaking off toward Yuan ty.
"Ding!"
"Temporary Mission Released: Rescue Yuan ty. "
"Mission rewards: Depend on the final results."
"Ding!"
"Temporary Mission pleted."
"Rewards: Rare dies X3 (usable below level 60), oe Experience Card (level 80), Mewtwments X2, plus 1,000 points."
In mid-air, Julian almost slipped off Dragoartled by the system's annou.
"Did you just lose e?"
Julian was quite speechless. He had wondered why the system hadn't assigned him a mission during such a critical event, as it usually did.
Only after he'd pleted his support did the system release the mission and immediately delivered the rewards too.
System: "-yes."
Julian: (A ;)/
Julian had always assumed the system was just a program, nothing more—certainly not intelligent.
Now, though, it seemed the system could actually respond on its own.
"System, are you male or female?"
"System, why did I e to this world?"
"System, why didn't you speak before?"
"System—"
He fired off a series of questions, but the system remained silent. If not for its earlier response, Julian would've thought he'd imagi.
"Fine, an arrogant system, it is than," he muttered, letting it go.
Julian was thrilled with the mission rewards. Rare dy was nice, but the Elite experience card was the real prize, and this one was at the Elite peak.
Previously, when he used ae initial experience card oagross, it mao hold off nearly 20,000 Pokémon with Light S.
And Akazam, as a peak Elite, had directly hypnotized the entire horde of 20,000 in just over a minute.
That demonstrated the true strength of the Elite css.
If Metagross used this Elite peak experience card, it would rival Akazam's strength.
Julian had still been a little distressed about using the Elite experience card before, but now that he had been rewarded with ae peak experience card, he was quite happy.
As for the Mewtwments and points, he'd think about them ter.
As he flew over Yuan ty, Julian used his Aura powers to locate Lucario.
There were still plenty of Flying Pokémon in the area. Even though he'd destroyed the mae, the residual effects hadn't worn off yet.
However, the root cause had been solved, and the Flying-type Pokémon here had no follow-up support, and he believed that without further interferehey'd be brought under trol soon.
When he finally found Lucario, he noticed Luis, Hugo, Ian, and several other special css students gathered nearby, including Dalton from the Fighting css.
"Boss Walker!" Dalton was the first to spot Julian and eagerly waved.
"You're here too?"
Julian jumped off Dragonite and checked on Lucario and Slowking. Both were a bit scratched up, but nothing serious.
However, what really caught his attention was Lucario holding a little girl's hand.
"Brother Walker, you're amazing, really amazing!"
Luis came over, pushing past Dalton to look at Julian with admiration.
"Brother Walker, Metagross dropping from the sky aing up Light S to bloearly 20,000 rioting Pokémon—it was incredible! That's got to be in this year's top ten Pokémon moments," he gushed.
Clearly, Luis had watched the live broadcast by Pidgeot.
The other special css student, were equally impressed, also having seen it.
"Boss Walker, let's take a selfie!"
Dalton stood beside Julian, snapping a picture before he could even respond.
"Julian, Did Metagross broke through to Elite?"
Ian asked curiously.
The people around were also looking at Julian curiously. They were not novices. A pseudo-Elite Metagross wouldn't have been able to shield against such a massive horde.
But Metagross had only retly reached pseudo-Elite.
As for Akazam, they didn't ask.
ing from noble families, they, too, had protective Pokémon around.
"No, it just used some special methods," Julian expined.
