After the auction ended, Julian returned to the room where he was staying. Ella had initially wanted to go in and sit for a while, but as soon as Julian stepped inside, he closed the door right behind him.
Having been left out in the cold, Ella stomped away angrily.
anwhile, inside the room, Julian imdiately released Lucario.
"Luca~"
After appearing, Lucario glanced at Julian, then fixed its gaze on the Heart's Tear in his hand. Although it felt a surge of excitent within, it showed no trace of desire on its face.
In terms of composure, Lucario was miles ahead of Arcanine. If it had been that dog, its tail would have been wagging like a fan, and it would have been drooling all over.
"Here," Julian said, without any intention of teasing Lucario, and handed over the Heart's Tear.
As soon as Lucario's hands made contact with the Heart's Tear, the gem slowly began to rge into its body.
Once the Heart's Tear had fully integrated, Lucario's aura underwent a dramatic change—its level rose from 81 to 83.

"Luca~"
Lucario closed its eyes tightly, feeling the transformation within its body. After a short while, it opened them again, its aura now completely stabilized.
Just then, a ding sounded in Julian's mind.
---
[Hidden Quest Completed!]
[Treasure Master: Possess and use over 20 Ultimate treasures.]
[Reward: Rare Candy ×3 (usable below the Champion tier), wtwo Fragnts ×6, Ultimate Treasure: Fury Fist]
---
The voice in his head made Julian’s face light up with surprise. He hadn’t expected to complete a hidden quest by accident.
So he already had and used over twenty Ultimate treasures?
Julian hadn't really kept count, but after a rough calculation, it seed he had indeed used twenty. tagross alone had used four Ultimate treasures, two of which even belonged to the World-class.
[T/N: I don't rember if this term had co up before, but I will explain here; World-class treasures are categorized as Ultimate-treasures but can be considered as the very best among them.]
The second most enhanced one after that should be Gengar, who had used three Ultimate treasures so far.
After recalling Lucario back into its Poké Ball, Julian released Moltres.
Moltres looked around curiously, not understanding why it was being let out inside a hotel room. Didn’t its trainer worry that it might accidentally set the whole place on fire?
Julian took out the Rare Candies and said, "Eat these."
Moltres swallowed it, blinked, and smacked its beak—'hmm, a bit sweet—not bad at all.'
But the next second, it suddenly felt the energy within its body surging wildly. In an instant, its level rose from 87 to 90.
It had gone from late-stage Pseudo-Champion to the very peak. It was now just one step away from reaching the Champion tier.
Its level had inexplicably increased by three, leaving Moltres completely stunned. It quickly realized it must’ve been because of the three candies it had just eaten.
Back when Julian had just beco a Trainer, the system used to reward Rare Candies quite often. But as his rank increased, they beca much rarer.
Since Moltres had joined Julian’s team later on, it had never eaten a Rare Candy before. Of course, the Pokémon that joined after it hadn’t eaten any either.
Moltres: "Do you have any more? Just one more of these, and I can beco a Champion!"
It looked at Julian with eyes full of hope.
But Julian shook his head.
"No more. I gave all three to you."
When Moltres heard the first half, it felt sowhat disappointed. But after hearing the second half, it imdiately perked up.
Moltres: 'All three were for ? So I really am Master’s favorite! What tagross, what Arcanine—they can all line up behind !'
Just by looking at the silly bird’s expression, Julian could tell what it was thinking. He didn’t say anything—simple-minded humans and Pokémon often tended to be happier.
Moltres had the highest level among his Pokémon, second only to tagross. To maximize the effect of the Rare Candies, it was best to give them all to Moltres.
It was a pity it didn’t reach the Champion tier. Although it was now at the peak of Pseudo-Champion tier, taking that final step was no easy task.

Julian currently had 84 wtwo Fragnts. Counting the 6 new ones, he now had 90 in total—just 10 more and he would be able to summon wtwo for real.
"The future looks promising."
Julian grinned.
He then recalled Moltres and released ltal, giving it the Ultimate treasure, Fury Fist.
[Fury Fist: Increases the power of punching moves by 30%.]
This treasure was practically tailor-made for ltal. After all, ltal’s ability was Iron Fist, which already increased the power of punching moves by 20%.
With both effects combined, ltal’s punching moves now had their power boosted by a full 50%—a terrifying enhancent.
As one of the first Pokémon to follow Julian, ltal had only consud one Ultimate treasure so far, which was sowhat unfair to it.
"ta!"
After consuming Fury Fist, ltal felt an itch in its fists. If it hadn’t restrained itself, it might have punched the floor right then and there.
After recalling ltal back into its Poké Ball, Julian murmured, "Tomorrow, I’ll take care of Eric."
It was about ti—he couldn’t delay it any longer. Otherwise, Groudon would really reach Victoria, and things might spiral out of control.
"Jirachi, tomorrow—no problem, right?"
Jirachi: "No problem! Just leave it to ."
