After dinner, Jacob lay on his bed scrolling through his phone.
I haven't checked the stone marketplace for a while. I wonder if there are any good ones available.
He reviewed the private ssages he'd received recently—most showcased useless stones that looked fancy but had no practical value. The rest were just scamrs posting advertisents.
After another fruitless search, Jacob changed his location settings to the capital city. This would allow more local sellers to see his posts, increasing his chances of finding valuable treasures in the capital.
With the stone issue temporarily set aside, Jacob browsed through his other ssages. Among them, Kyle had sent several photos showing himself training with his Lycanroc. Like Jacob, he had taken leave to undergo special training at the Rock Secret Realm.
To this close friend, Jacob replied with just two words: "idiot." Their brotherhood required no elaborate expressions.
Aria had also ssaged him, asking how he was doing in the capital and ntioning that her three-month internship at the Fla Secret Realm was ending soon. She wondered if she could extend her stay.
Jacob felt confused. Why was she telling him this? He could only reply politely: "If you can't stay there, you're welco to co to the Grass Insect Secret Realm in Starlight City. Starlight City would welco you."
There were nurous other ssages, mostly from young won who had joined him at the barbecue stall previously. Many sent ssages like "Hey, you're so handso!" or "Do you have a girlfriend?" The bolder ones sent Jacob provocative photos. Jacob ignored all these ssages—though he did look at all the photos. Consequently, he had trouble falling asleep and didn't get to bed until midnight.
...
At six o'clock the next morning, Jacob maintained his usual two-hour training routine. When he finished, Nanny Abigail had already prepared breakfast.
The family ate while watching the news.
"The Aurora Club has been caught poaching rare Pokémon, causing significant losses to the Pokémon Association."
"Another terrifying ghost incident has occurred in the Capital. Ghost-type Pokémon are suspected to have appeared. The Pokémon Association has dispatched masters of Psychic, Dark, and Ghost types to investigate."
"Darkrai has disappeared. Experts speculate it may appear in Demon City."
"The strongest Lucario: The Pokémon Association intends to recruit Ryan as a special investigator."
...
While watching the news, Jacob packed his essential belongings and prepared to head to the Dragon Secret Realm.
The Capital's Dragon Secret Realm offered only 30 training positions each year. These spots were rarely made available to the public—they were reserved for those with connections. Obtaining a position required more than money; it demanded connections, power, strength, and reputation.
This year's thirty positions had been allocated a month ago. Naturally, Jacob hadn't qualified for the Dragon Secret Realm training camp. The most he could normally do was pay daily fees to train there and enjoy the blessing of dragon energy within the realm. However, the highly respected Elder Scott had intervened, asking Dragon King Maximus, who oversaw the Dragon Secret Realm, to make an exception and add a position for Jacob.
...
Upon arriving at the Dragon Secret Realm, Jacob first went to the dormitory where he'd be staying for the next six months to drop off his luggage. After saying goodbye to his family, he hurried to the training grounds under staff guidance to join the camp.
The Dragon Secret Realm training camp had begun two days earlier, aning Jacob had already missed two days of training. When he reached the training grounds, the thirty students were all seriously training their Pokémon. Almost everyone had one or two Dragon-type Pokémon, which made Jacob realize how different the capital was—so many trainers with Dragon Pokémon, including several Pseudo-legendary specins, as if they were common items at a market.
In the corner of the training ground, a tall, charming young woman leaned casually against the wall, glancing at Jacob as he arrived.
"Instructor Nina," the staff mber said, bringing Jacob to the woman and bowing slightly. "This is Jacob. He's the newcor to the training camp that Dragon King Maximus ntioned."
"I understand," the woman nodded, examining Jacob.
Nina was very tall. Despite Jacob's height of 6'3
