Imperial University;
Julian had spent nearly a month inside Secret Realm No. 98, so by the ti he returned to University, Shen, Dalton, and Luis had already completed the assessnt tasks assigned to them by the university.
The Special Recruitnt Class had a total of thirty students, and in this semi-annual assessnt, five of them either failed their missions or did not complete them within the one-month deadline.
As a result, these five students had to leave the Special Recruitnt Class.
Next month, the top five students from the regular classes would take their places.
Julian was the first to complete his task, and after finishing it, he had gone directly to Secret Realm No. 98.
In the class group chat, Julian sent a ssage:
> Selling: level-20 Shiftry with Cyan-grade potential.
Inside Secret Realm No. 98, Julian’s gains weren't just limited to the Poison Pearl. He had also obtained two Cyan-grade Pokémon:
- One was a Level 20 Shiftry.
- The other was an early Elite-tier Sceptile.
Julian had already handed over Sceptile to his uncle for handling. As a businessman, his uncle could maximize its value.
As for Shiftry, Julian planned to handle it himself.
The Special Recruitnt Class group chat was usually quiet, with only Luis being the most talkative.
Now that Julian had suddenly sent a ssage—and even put up a Cyan-grade Pokémon for sale—the group instantly beca lively.
Luis: "Selling a Cyan-grade Pokémon right off the bat—definitely what I’d expect from Brother Julian!"
Dalton: "Boss Julian, did you catch this in Secret Realm No. 98?"
The first to respond were Luis and Dalton, which was expected.
As for how Dalton knew that the Shiftry ca from Secret Realm No. 98, it was because of the huge uproar surrounding the ergence of the Poison-type treasure there.
The whole incident had beco a hot topic, and Julian’s na had naturally been dragged into the discussions.
Every trainer who had entered the Secret Realm during that ti had been investigated.
Only a few remained unaccounted for—the ones who died, those who left early, and Julian along with a few others.
Right now, the outside world was buzzing with speculation about which trainer had obtained the Poison-type treasure.
Julian simply replied with a "Mm."
The Special Recruitnt Class had a total of three Grass-type trainers, and one of them quickly spoke up.
Grass-type Trainer A: "Julian, I’ll buy it for 300 million."
Shiftry wasn’t exactly a rare Pokémon, and Cyan-grade ones typically sold for around 250 million. Offering 300 million was clearly a gesture of respect toward Julian.
Grass-type Trainer B: "I already have a Shiftry."
Grass-type Trainer C: "Shiftry isn’t really my style."
The other two Grass-type trainers also spoke up shortly after, but they expressed that they didn’t need it.
So, Julian sold the Shiftry to Grass-type Trainer A.
Dalton: “Boss Julian, if you ever get a Fighting-type Pokémon, keep in mind.”
Julian: “OK”
“tagross, send this Poké Ball to the person in Villa 19.”
Julian handed the Poké Ball containing Shiftry to tagross. The buyer, a fellow classmate, lived in Villa 19.
At the sa ti, Julian also handed a bank card to tagross.
tagross, the delivery Pokémon, was now on duty.
“Arcanine, stop that!”
Julian turned to see Arcanine gnawing at a table leg. It had originally wanted to chew on the sofa, but since its trainer was sitting there, it didn’t dare.
The mont Julian shouted, Arcanine was startled and flinched. However, it failed to control its bite force, and with a loud crack, the table leg snapped off.
Julian: "Damn it, that thing was coated in tal!"
"Next ti, I’m putting mustard on it, let’s see if you still dare to bite."
Under Julian’s stern gaze, Arcanine crouched slightly, mouth slightly open, tongue hanging out, while its big fluffy tail wagged like a fan.
It clearly had no awareness of its mistake.
Wait, correction—in Arcanine’s mind, it never makes mistakes.
Looking at its silly but innocent eyes, Julian sighed helplessly.
He texted the furniture store, asking them to deliver a new table.
Thanks to Arcanine, Julian had single-handedly kept a failing furniture store alive.
The owner was even preparing to open a second store—right near Imperial University, so they could better serve their top custor.
Not long after, tagross returned. At the sa ti, Julian’s phone buzzed with a new ssage.
Opening it, he saw that 300 million had been transferred to his account.
All the students in the Special Recruitnt Class were from prestigious families, and not just that—they were the elite heirs of their respective clans. So, to them, spending 300 million wasn’t really a big deal.
Even soone from a weaker noble family, like Shen, could still casually pull out 100 million if needed.
Although for civilian trainers, having a Cyan-grade Pokémon was incredibly rare. But for noble heirs, especially the outstanding ones, having at least one or even multiple Cyan-grade Pokémon was the norm.
Even if a civilian trainer had the money, they would struggle to buy a Cyan-grade Pokémon. Why?
Because high-potential Pokémon were already monopolized by the upper class, so very few were ever sold to outsiders.
Take Julian, for example, he had an extra Cyan-grade Pokémon, and he sold it directly to his classmates.
In Julian's social circle, aside from Will, everyone else was from prestigious families.
“Luca~”
Julian, who was lying on the sofa, Julian suddenly heard Lucario’s voice in his mind.
A look of joy appeared on his face, and he imdiately headed to the backyard.
In the backyard, he saw Honedge was glowing with a bright white light—obviously it was evolving!
As the white light faded, it transford into two crossed swords—Doublade.

---
Honedge had already been very close to evolving, so it wasn't surprising that it had done so suddenly.
With the help of Julian, its potential had improved from Green to Cyan.
Seeing Doublade float towards him, Julian patted its hilt and said with a smile, “Well done.”
In response, Doublade’s twin blades rubbed against each other. Though the sound was harsh, it was its way of expressing joy and gratitude toward Julian.
At first glance, Doublade’s two swords appeared to be fixed together, but in reality, they could separate. When split apart, its fighting style beca more versatile.
Additionally, the two swords could communicate telepathically, allowing them to coordinate seamlessly.
It was as if they had two independent minds, making it feel like a pair of Honedge working together.
