The Chapter get Retranslated
After completing a mission, Jiang Chen now had over 24,000 points, but this amount was still insufficient to buy what he wanted in the system mall.
A Champion-potential Pseudo-legendary Pokémon Egg costs a million points. Directly purchasing a Champion-strength Pokémon starts at ten million points.
Legendary Pokémon are even more expensive, with even Sub-legendary Pokémon costing over a hundred million points.
After completing the mission to own six Pokémon, the system refreshed with another mission.
[Mission: Win the Friendly Exchange Match with Imperial Capital Pokémon Academy. Mission Reward: TM: Hyper Beam, Talent Potential Enhancement Fruit (Elite Four) ×1, Points +30,000!]
Class teacher Old Zhang had said that the top five in the Campus Ranking Tournament would qualify for a Friendly Exchange Match with Imperial Capital Pokémon Academy.
Tianhai Pokémon Academy and Imperial Capital Pokémon Academy have long been in a competitive relationship, holding Friendly Exchange Matches every year, but Tianhai Pokémon Academy usually loses more than it wins.
After Alakazam brought him back, Jiang Chen found his father at home.
"Does this mean the Riolu I wanted is here?"
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
Otherwise, his father might not come back even once in ten to fifteen days. An Elite Four has a lot of matters to handle.
In this world, there are also evil organizations that might suddenly cause trouble, and when Pokémon outbreaks occur, Elite Four are needed to deal with them.
The Xia Country has twelve Elite Four and four Champions, but its territory is vast. After the Pokémon World merged, the planet itself expanded considerably. Each Elite Four is responsible for a large area and is very busy every day.
"That's right, for this Riolu, I paid a huge price to get it for you."
Jiang Yuan handed a Poké Ball to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen immediately released Riolu. Riolu's body was gray-blue, with black legs and an upper torso, resembling a small dog standing upright.
[Riolu]
Gender: Male
Strength: Normal Stage 3
Talent Potential: Champion
Attribute: Fighting
Ability: Steadfast
Moves: Quick Attack, Endure, Rock Smash, Force Palm
Seeing Riolu's talent potential, Jiang Chen gave his father a thumbs up. This was Champion potential!
"In the future, get closer to Ling Wanqiu in your class and give her this Pokémon."
Jiang Yuan ignored Jiang Chen's thumbs up and took out another Poké Ball, placing it in front of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen released the Pokémon inside, and a Dratini appeared.
"Isn't this the Dratini that hatched from the Pokémon Egg your Dragonite and Mom's Dragonite laid recently? Weren't you planning to raise it yourself?"
Come to think of it, this Dratini should be Jiang Chen's Dragonite's younger sister.
"I was planning to raise it myself, but for your Riolu, didn't I just go all out?"
Jiang Yuan could tell that this Dratini's talent was excellent, likely having the potential to become a Champion.
[Dratini]
Gender: Female
Strength: Normal Stage 5
Talent Potential: Champion
Attribute: Dragon
Ability: Marvel Scale
Moves: Leer, Twister, Thunder Wave, Dragon Tail
This Dratini indeed had Champion potential. Originally, Jiang Yuan had intended to raise it as his main force, but that plan was now falling through.
Dragon-type Pokémon are powerful but difficult to breed. It was already a feat for his Dragonite to lay two eggs in these past few years. To get pregnant again would depend on luck.
If lucky, it might be a few years; if not, it might be over a decade.
"Dad and Mom's Dragonite are really amazing, laying two Pokémon Eggs, both with Champion potential."
Even two Champion-potential Pokémon might not necessarily produce Champion-potential offspring. Jiang Chen's mother's Dragonite only had Elite Four potential, so giving birth to two Champion-potential offspring was terrifying.
"Did you get this Riolu from Elite Four Ling?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"That's right, besides him, we'd probably have to go abroad to find a Riolu with potential." Jiang Yuan nodded.
"Trading Dratini for Riolu feels a bit like a loss. I even said so many good things to him. You better prove yourself and abduct his daughter to piss him off."
Jiang Yuan patted Jiang Chen's shoulder, making Jiang Chen's mouth twitch.
It was rumored that Elite Four Ling Zhantian was a doting father; wasn't he afraid of getting his leg broken?
"The Alliance will reward a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon for announcing the Fairy-type. I chose Garchomp. How about I compensate you?" Jiang Chen said to his father.
"Forget it, I wouldn't dare. I'm afraid your mom would kill me."
Jiang Yuan quickly waved his hand.
"Sigh, it was already hard enough dealing with Ice-types, and now another Fairy-type has appeared."
Thinking that there was another type super effective against Dragon-types, Jiang Yuan didn't want to talk anymore, especially since Fairy-types are immune to Dragon-type moves.
"Even with Fairy-types, it won't shake the Dragon-type's status," Jiang Chen said to Jiang Yuan.
Dragon-types only being super effective against other Dragon-types, yet still holding a dominant position, relies on the inherent powerful strength of Dragon-types themselves.
"You're right."
Dragon-type Pokémon can learn many moves and are flexible and adaptable. The threat of Fairy-types isn't considered very significant.
In fact, for Jiang Yuan, the threat of Fairy-types was even less than that of Ice-types, as his Pokémon were either Dragon-type or Flying-type, making them completely vulnerable to Ice-types.
"Dad, I remember you have a Slowbro in your second team, right?"
"Yes, that's right. Isn't it just by the artificial lake behind the mountain? What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan looked at Jiang Chen puzzled.
"Let me take it with me for a few days."
"Okay."
Although Jiang Yuan was puzzled, he didn't refuse.
His father suffered such a big loss to help him get Riolu, so Jiang Chen planned to compensate him. Slowbro is also called Slowpoke; it's a Water-type and Psychic-type Pokémon.
The Mysterious Slate can help it break its talent limitations. Don't look at Slowbro being one of Jiang Yuan's second-team Pokémon; in reality, that Slowbro is also Elite Four Stage 9 in strength.
If it breaks through its limitations and advances to Champion-level, it will definitely become Jiang Yuan's main force, and he can then aim for Champion.
The Mysterious Slate can definitely help Slowking break its limitations and reach Champion-level.
