John's two sons and a daughter, each achieved remarkable success in their respective fields. However, the third generation of the Walker family consisted of only one person—Julian.
At first, the other families assud that if Julian’s talent was rely average, the Walker family's influence would gradually decline under his leadership.
At the very least, they believed the Walker family would lose its dominant position as the face of Steel types.
But no one expected that Julian, the lone heir of the Walker family, would beco a prodigy after becoming a trainer—a living embodint of the word "monster."
Since his debut, no trainer had ever defeated him in an official match.
After reaching the rank of Elite, he no longer had any rivals among his peers. Even veteran trainers were repeatedly defeated by him.
Fred: 'I'm sorry for disgracing the older generation of trainers.'
Now, with Julian under the protection of two Champions—John and Duke—any underhanded tricks or shady tactics against him were impossible.
Every influential family knew that as long as Julian didn’t fall unexpectedly, the Walker family's glory would remain as dazzling as ever—if not even greater, thanks to him.
Unable to beat him, many families instead tried to align with him.
Letting the beautiful girls from their clans to hook up with Julian, hoping to tie their family to the Walkers through marriage. This tactic beca so common that nearly every family, except those directly opposing the Walkers, joined in on the sche.
If Julian had been even slightly indulgent in romance, he would have long been drained of all his energy by now.
The Spencer family was a Ghost-type clan, with most of its mbers specializing in Ghost-type Pokémon.
However, as the eldest grandson of the family, Leon was an Electric-type trainer.
"Electivire, Thunderbolt!"
A blinding surge of electricity erupted from Electivire, striking tagross in an instant. Sparks danced around tagross's body, crackling violently.
Electivire was a powerhouse among Electric types. It was said that a single Electivire could generate enough electricity to power an entire skyscraper for a year.
Yet, despite the direct hit, tagross remained completely unscathed.
Leon’s face showed little excitent—he had expected so damage, but tagross hadn't even flinched. It had taken the Thunderbolt head-on without using any defensive moves, and still, not a single scratch appeared.
"Electivire, keep using Thunderbolt!" Leon ordered in disbelief.
Electivire launched three consecutive Thunderbolts, yet tagross stood firm, unmoving, as if nothing had happened.
tagross: "Keep it up, little bro."
Electivire: (◎_◎;)
"Grandpa... tagross doesn’t have the Motor Drive ability, right?"
Jessica’s voice was filled with doubt, wondering if her knowledge of Pokémon abilities was sohow flawed.
Charles shook his head with a wry smile. "Even at the sa peak pseudo-Elite level, Electivire is simply no match for tagross."
Although he had known before the battle that Leon was no match for Julian, actually witnessing the overwhelming difference was still hard to swallow.
Who wouldn’t want their grandson to surpass their opponents?
A Pokémon’s level could represent its combat power to so extent, but it wasn’t absolute.
There were always exceptional trainers who could battle above their level.
Julian was one of those trainers—he could fight and defeat opponents a whole stage above him. Leon, too, could battle above his level, but he could only manage to surpass opponents by three to four levels.
That was the difference between them.
"Julian, fight back already! Letting tagross stand there without moving—are you looking down on ?"
Leon glared at Julian with dissatisfaction, and at the sa ti ordered his Electivire, "Use Focus Punch!"
Although Electivire was a pure Electric-type Pokémon, its physical build made its Fighting-type moves incredibly powerful as well.
Julian: 'I’m just giving you so face here.'
'So many family mbers are watching you. If tagross one-shot Electivire, wouldn’t that be embarrassing for you?'
Leon: 'Oh, thanks a lot. That’s so face I’d rather not have.'
But it was ti to end the battle.
"teor Mash."
As Electivire’s Focus Punch arrived, tagross t the attack head-on with its gleaming steel fist.
A loud "bang" echoed through the arena.
The spectators only saw a flash of yellow streak by. The next mont, Electivire was already slamd against the protective barrier.
"Electivire!"
Leon called out, but Electivire was already unconscious, unable to hear him.
Jessica stared at tagross in disbelief, her mouth slightly agape.
She couldn’t fathom how there could be such an enormous gap between two Pokémon at the sa level—especially without a type advantage.
With the battle over, Leon recalled his fainted Electivire and walked over to Julian.
"Next ti we et, let’s have another match," he said with a grin.
There was no trace of bitterness or frustration on his face—only a fiery eagerness to battle again.
Julian nodded lightly.
"Grandpa, I’m heading off. The team still has so things to deal with."
Leon said hurriedly before dashing out.
The main reason he had co ho was to have a battle with Julian. Now that his goal was achieved—despite being completely overpowered—he was already looking forward to the next fight.
Leon’s departure was just as swift and boisterous as his arrival.
With his personality, no defeat would ever leave him with a so-called "psychological shadow."
"Good thing it was just us watching, if the younger generation from the clan were here, they would have been completely demoralized by you," Charles chuckled.
He didn’t know if the younger generation would be discouraged or not, but as an old man himself, he certainly felt a blow to his own spirit.
'I feel like I've lived my whole life as a dog.'
Arcanine: 'Hey! Show so respect.'
"Elite Spencer, you’re too kind. Leon becoming an Elite is only a matter of ti."
"He’s still far from catching up to you, though."
"That's true."
Julian simply nodded.
For a mont, Charles was stunned into silence, unsure of what to say next.
"Elite Spencer, I’ll be heading out now."
If not for Leon, he would have left much earlier.
"I’ll have Jessica see you off," Charles said.
Witnessing Julian’s monstrous talent firsthand, he naturally wished to bring Julian into the family.
He had heard that Champion Duke’s granddaughter was also trying to get close to Julian. However, she was already a year older than him—a bit of an "older woman."
His own granddaughter, on the other hand, was younger.
After all, most n preferred younger won, right? And at eighteen years old, his granddaughter was at the perfect age.
As they drove away in the Spencer family’s car, Jessica glanced at Julian and asked, "Are you heading back to the hotel?"
"No, just take to the airport."
"I have to go to Yale Province, and I am going to visit ho while I’m at it."
Jessica understood and said, "The Yale Province High School League has already started. If you go, the champion of the individual tournant is sure to pick Imperial University."
"Looks like I’ll have another competitor."
"Use the two months of sumr break to raise your Pokémon’s levels. The competition in the special recruitnt class is going to be intense."
Since he had personally recruited Jessica, he naturally hoped she would be among the top perforrs.
He didn’t expect her to be the absolute best, but she should at least rank in the top ten.
"Mm, I’ll do my best."
Jessica nodded seriously.
She had heard plenty of rumors about the fierce competition at Imperial University. In fact, it wasn’t just Imperial—every top-tier university was the sa.
No one wanted to be eliminated, which ant they had no choice but to word hard.
