c013 Go Crazy! Everyone Wants To Conquer Riolu!
For Xu Jing.
The reaction from people like Yang Chao did not exceed Xu Jing's expectations.
Within Pokémon Experimental High School, Yang Chao's reputation was not good, and everyone knew it.
It was common for someone like him to bully weaker classmates simply because his family was rich, and he acted as if money were the same as strength.
In a reasonable situation, Xu Jing was too lazy to bother offending the other party at all.
If he had enough time to listen to that guy talk big, brag about brands, or pretend he was as strong as those trainers in the manga's Sinnoh chapters, it was better to make use of the good-luck card while it was still within the validity period.
Wander around more! Catch something useful!
However, Xu Jing didn't care.
But someone cared!
Earl Dervish Forest was different from a genuine hidden Secret Realm like the ones that appeared when Diamond met Riley on Iron Island in the Pokémon Adventures manga.
There was network coverage here! Signals were full!
In the group chat of Pokémon Experimental High School, everyone was already complaining that the Earl Dervish Pokémon missions were too painful and exhausting.
"Does anyone know where I can capture Fire-type Pokémon?"
"You know that rocky mountain out east? Yes, that rocky mountain. I checked there are no Fire-types there, unlike the special training mountains Riley used with Riolu."
"Thank you!"
"Let me go, why are you still asking that? Let me show you some shocking ultra-high-definition pictures I just took. Class One students should zoom in carefully!"
While everyone was chatting, suddenly a student posted several ultra-high-definition shots, and everyone subconsciously tapped to enlarge them.
"???"
"What the hell Riolu!?"
"Riolu!? Riolu!? Someone brought Riolu into Earl Dervish Forest!?"
"Isn't this blatant cheating? Damn it! You can't bring outside Pokémon in here. How did he get past inspection? Even Riley didn't smuggle Riolu he trained it legally!"
After Riolu's high-definition photos appeared, the group exploded the way readers reacted when Riolu first debuted in the manga and displayed its Aura manipulation.
Dozens of Xu Jing's classmates lost control.
The group notification instantly hit 99+!
Everyone started forwarding the photos to their own small cliques, asking what was going on.
Seeing the chaos, the student who posted the images hurried to explain that Riolu was actually the Earl Dervish Pokémon Xu Jing had captured inside Earl Dervish Forest legally, properly, unlike smuggling.
For a moment, the chat went silent.
They were probably too shocked, just like when readers learned that Riolu could sense negative emotions in the manga, so everyone started to talk about Xu Jing all over again, but Xu Jing didn't even have time to take out his cellphone and join the group.
Some people who knew the news first couldn't help but get angry. Why was that guy so ignorant? The moment he posted the picture, everyone would learn Riolu lived inside Earl Dervish Forest. Didn't he understand that every student would now hunt for Riolu, the same way villains chased Aura Pokémon in the manga?
And in fact, this was exactly the case.
Especially the students who were in the same class as Xu Jing, they all couldn't bear it anymore. Those who had Xu Jing's phone number directly called her, only to discover that Xu Jing… had turned off her phone almost like how, in the Sinnoh chapters of the manga, Riley kept silent contact when outsiders chased Riolu for its Aura.
But it didn't matter; the message had already been sent.
The news that someone had captured Riolu inside Earl Dervish Forest spread like wildfire, just like rumors did when villains in the manga learned Riolu could evolve into Lucario and sense Aura!
Most people wanted to give it a try!
What if they found Riolu too?
What if they were the next person to conquer Riolu? What if they awakened a partner as rare as the one Riley trained?
Just before everyone started taking action
another piece of news ignited everyone's emotions!
Xu Jing had not only conquered Riolu, but had also obtained a secret treasure in Earl Dervish Forest!
Good guy, are you serious now?
It wasn't crazy enough just having Riolu, right?
Now even secret treasures had appeared like the "mysterious items" in the manga that boosted Aura abilities on Iron Island?
There were pictures and there was proof!
Was Xu Jing the chosen one?
Were all the good things destined to fall into her hands?
So…
Most of the students in several Pokémon high schools took action!
Everyone ran toward Riolu and the secret treasure!
The leaders monitoring the communication room couldn't sit still anymore…
Everyone looked at Vice Chairman Jiang Nian.
"President Jiang… this…"
The students all wanted to track Riolu, to tame Riolu as their own Earl Dervish Pokémon. Some even hoped that, like in the manga where Byron and Riley understood Aura lineage, there might be another Riolu somewhere.
The problem was there was only one Riolu, and it had been captured by Xu Jing. There was no second Riolu hiding out there.
If they ignored this situation, something would definitely happen.
It might cause most students to waste all their time, fail to catch any Earl Dervish Pokémon within three days, and end up eliminated before the exam even ended!
Jiang Nian stayed extremely calm and directly ordered the teachers:
"Spread the news that there is only one Riolu. Spread the news about the treasure in the secret realm. Don't say anything else."
"Yes, President Jiang."
President Jiang gave the order.
The teachers immediately broadcast the notice to every student.
Hearing that there was only one Riolu was like pouring cold water over all the excited teenagers! Even braver students went quiet Riolu rarity was just like in the manga timeline, where each appearance was fought over.
However, once they heard there were secret treasures, the students were excited again. If they couldn't get Riolu, maybe they could still find a secret treasure? That could still equal millions of Alliance coins!
Meanwhile, after Xu Jing shut down the device that caused this entire commotion, she led Riolu to find two more wild Pokémon to defeat just enough to complete her task quota, the same way manga protagonists trained step by step before challenging gyms.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, side task 4 is completed. You have obtained Primary Card Draw × 1]
Obtaining another primary draw card, Xu Jing used it directly without hesitation!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have drawn the Strengthening Potion Manifest Card]
[Strengthening Potion Manifest Card: Use the secondary card and you will obtain a potion that strengthens your physique, improving your body in all aspects.]
Xu Jing was stunned. It actually affected her?
Could this god-level draw card system help her grow stronger the way Aura guardians in the manga trained their bodies before using Aura?
"Okay! Use it as soon as I get out!" Xu Jing was so excited she wished she could experience the strengthening potion's effect on the spot.
