After completing one mission, Jiang Chen already had over 24,000 points. However, this amount was still not enough to purchase the items he desired from the system's store. A pseudo-legendary Pokémon egg with Champion potential alone cost 1 million points. Directly purchasing a Champion-level Pokémon required at least 10 million points to start. Legendary Pokémon were even more expensive; even a Tier 3 Legendary required over 100 million points.
After completing the mission of having six Pokémon, the system refreshed with a new mission.
[Mission: Win the friendly exchange match against the Imperial Capital Pokémon Academy. Mission Reward: TM Hyper Beam, Talent Potential Enhancement Fruit (Elite Four) x1, 30,000 points!]
The homeroom teacher, Old Zhang, had said that the top five in the campus ranking competition would qualify for a friendly exchange match with the Imperial Capital Pokémon Academy. Tianhai Pokémon Academy and Imperial Capital Pokémon Academy had long been in competition. They held friendly exchange matches every year, but Tianhai Pokémon Academy usually lost more than they won.
After being brought back by Alakazam, Jiang Chen found his father at home.
"Is the Riolu I wanted finally here?"
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. Otherwise, his father might not have time to come back for ten days or half a month. Elite Four members had many things to deal with. This world also had evil organizations that might suddenly pop up and cause trouble. Additionally, when Pokémon populations erupted in unrest, Elite Four members were needed to handle them.
There were twelve Elite Four members and four Champions in Xia Country, but the territory was vast. After the Pokémon world merged, the planet itself became much larger. Each Elite Four member was responsible for a large area and was busy every day.
"That's right. I paid a great price to get this Riolu for you."
Jiang Yuan handed a Poké Ball to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen immediately released Riolu. Riolu's body was gray-blue, its legs and upper torso black, resembling a small bipedal dog.
[Riolu]
Gender: Male
Strength: Ordinary Stage Three
Talent Potential: Champion
Attribute: Fighting
Ability: Steadfast
Moves: Quick Attack, Endure, Rock Smash, Force Palm
Upon 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 from 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 born by your Dragonite and my mom's Dragonite not long ago? Weren't you planning to raise it yourself?"
Speaking of which, this Dratini should be Jiang Chen's Dragonite's sister.
"I was planning to raise it myself, but for your Riolu, I had to put down a lot of money, didn't I?"
Jiang Yuan could tell that this Dratini had excellent talent, probably with the potential to become a Champion.
[Dratini]
Gender: Female
Strength: Ordinary Stage Five
Talent Potential: Champion
Attribute: Dragon
Ability: Marvel Scale
Moves: Leer, Twister, Thunder Wave, Dragon Tail
This Dratini indeed had Champion potential. Originally, Jiang Yuan wanted to raise it as his ace, but that plan was now going to fall through. Dragon-type Pokémon were powerful but also had difficulty reproducing. It was already not easy for them to have laid two eggs in these few years. To get pregnant again would depend on luck. If luck was good, it might take a few years. If luck was bad, it might take more than ten years to wait.
"Dad and Mom's Dragonite are truly amazing, giving birth to two Pokémon eggs with Champion potential."
Even two Pokémon with Champion potential might not necessarily produce offspring with Champion potential. Jiang Chen's mother's Dragonite only had Elite Four potential, so for it to give birth to two offspring with Champion potential was terrifying.
"This Riolu, was it obtained from Elite Four Ling?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"That's right. Besides him, you'd probably have to go abroad to find a Riolu with potential." Jiang Yuan nodded. "Trading Dratini for Riolu felt like a bit of a loss. And I had to say good things to him for a long time. You fight for me and steal his daughter back, that'll really piss him off."
Jiang Yuan patted Jiang Chen's shoulder, making Jiang Chen's lips twitch.
'It's rumored that Elite Four Ling Zhantian is a doting father. Aren't you afraid my legs will be broken?'
"After the Fairy-type was announced, the Alliance will reward a pseudo-legendary Pokémon. I chose Garchomp. Should I give it to you as compensation?" Jiang Chen said to his father.
"Forget it, I wouldn't dare. I'm afraid your mom would beat me to death."
Jiang Yuan quickly waved his hands.
"Sigh, it was already difficult enough facing Ice-types, and now a Fairy-type has appeared."
Thinking that there was another type that countered Dragon-types, Jiang Yuan didn't want to talk anymore, especially since Fairy-types were immune to Dragon-type moves.
"Even with Fairy-types, they can't shake the Dragon-type's status."
Jiang Chen said to Jiang Yuan.
Dragon-types only countered other Dragon-types, yet they held a dominant position, relying on the Dragon-type's inherent powerful strength.
"You're right."
Dragon-type Pokémon could learn many moves and were flexible. The threat of Fairy-types was not that great. In fact, for Jiang Yuan, the threat of Fairy-types was even less than that of Ice-types. After all, his Pokémon were either Dragon-type or Flying-type, and were completely countered by Ice-types.
"Dad, I remember you have a Slowbro in your second team, right?"
"Yes, that's right. Isn't it at the artificial lake next to the back 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 great loss to help him get Riolu, so Jiang Chen planned to compensate him. Slowbro, also known as Slowking, was a Water/Psychic-type Pokémon.
The Mysterious Slate could help it break its talent limitations. Although Slowbro was one of Jiang Yuan's second team Pokémon, it was actually at the Elite Four Stage Nine strength. If it broke its limitations and advanced to Champion level, it would definitely become Jiang Yuan's ace, and he could then challenge for Champion status. The Mysterious Slate would definitely help Slowking break its limitations and reach Champion level.
