At 8 o'clo the evening, the award ceremony was held at the venue, Most of the trainers came to participate, and looked at the three people standing on the podium with admiration.
Julian stood among them, expressionless, clutg the gleaming golden trophy that signified his victory in the individual petition.
The trophy, half a meter tall, gleamed uhe lights, shaped like two hands g a Poké Ball. It bore the inscription: "86th Yale Provincial High School League, Individual Champion, Julian."
"That trophy 't be pure gold, right?"
Uhe stage, Will looked at Julian's golden trophy. Because of the lighting, the golden light of the trophy was even more dazzling.
"Trophies are always gilded," replied Han.
"Pure gold? Only if you win the Elite Challenge and bee one of the Top 18 Elite Trainers. Then the Drakorian Trainer Association will give you a pure gold trophy."
While the Yale Provincial High School League was a notable event, the senior ma viewed it as mere child's py.
The primary aim was to identify talerainers and to let these students who have just bee trainers not long ago to foster healthy petition among each other.
This will help them increase their strength faster.
"Ding."
"Hidden Mission plete: First Trophy (First Prize)."
"Reward: A ten-minute Elite experience card (avaible only for Pokémon below level 70)."
The voi his head made Julian, who had no expression at first, smile a little, this was really an ued gain.
'Although I have the prote of ae Akazam, after all, that's grandpa's Pokémon, and it will not e out unless I'm really in danger.'
'If my own Pokémon also has Elite-level bat power, although it will only be short-lived, it be used as a trump card for a eback at a critical moment.'
The ceremony cluded in about half an hour.
"Julian, which -qualified Pokémon will you ask for?"
On the way back to the hotel, Shen asked curiously, Will, Han, and Zosh also raised their ears.
The rewards for the first p the Yale Provincial High School League were very generous.
The first-pce prize included a qualified Pokémon egg, a Yale proviicket for an advanced secret realm, and 80 million in resource exge.
"I haven't decided yet,"
Julian shook his head, he now had four Pokémon, aually wanted an Aron for the fifth one, but he had yet to find an Aron with qualification.
If he asked the Yale Provirainer Association, they probably also didn't have one, so he was w whether to temporarily ge his choice of the fifth Pokémon.
He also thought about the advanced secret realms in Yale Provihere are eight advanced-level secret realms iire Yale Province, and only two being special secret realms like Oreburgh Forest, which was guarded by the Walker family.
The other being the Grassy Green Grassnd.
Advanced Secret Realms are suitable for trainers seudo-Elite to Elite level. With Julian's current strength, although he fight pseudo-Elites, Juliao maximize the bes he should wait until he reached pseudo-Elite status to explore them.
There was no time limit for tickets anyway , so he was not in a hurry.
After returning to the hotel, Julian opehe Drakorian Trainer Association app to check his resource exge banillion had just beeed.
Although there was no she of money, but more money always makes people happy.
"Diamonds, three hundred pounds"
"Broken Dragon Fang"
He spent the entire 80 million resources owo items, with diamonds costing 50 million and Broken Dragon Fang being 30 million.
The Broken Dragon Fang was from a pseudo-Elite dragon-type Pokémon, the price of a plete one was more than 100 million and ae-level one was even more valuable.
The Broken Dragon Fang was naturally not fonair to hold, but to grind it into powder a Dragonair eat it, which more or less increase the dragon energy in Dragonair.
Post-shopping, he checked WeChat, receiving gratutory messages from cssmates and his teacher, Sam.
As he scrolled through Moments, Julian turned into a like madman again, and liked eae by one.

*Like.*

"Ding"
"Temporary Mission: Capture an A-level wanted criminal"
"Reward: Top quality Steel-type Energy Cube X20, Top quality Dragon-type Energy Cube X10."
Top quality energy cubes, one box was 2,000 points, very expensive. Usually Julian only buys it once every two weeks, and that too only one box.
The prospect of such valuable rewards made Julian leap from his bed.
The more lucrative the mission, the tougher it was likely to be.
A-level wanted criminals were definitely pseudo-Elite, while S-level ones were Elite.
A fast-moving red dot appeared in his mind, indig the location of the wanted criminal.
"Dragonair, let's go!"
He called, opening the window. Dragonair uood, s out into the night.
With newfound ce from his Mega Pallet Town physique, Julian leaped after him, catg a brief moment of panic as he free-fell before Dragonair caught him.
"Whoo! So Exg!"
Julian excimed, feeling the rush of adrenaline. He quickly fot his fears of heights, fog on the mission ahead.
"Head to the White River Forest in the east"
He instructed, noting that the red dot had paused in the forest's midst.
White River Forest was not a part of Lake City, but a uncimed wild forest, home to numerous wild Pokémon. The Forest was vast, c 5,280 square kilometers, which was equivalent to the area of ??a prefecture-level city.
There were four wild forests like this iire Yale Province. In terms of area, White River Forest ranks third while fourth in danger rating.
Though Julian had traversed wild forests before, but they were all small, uhis one.
However, The red dot lingered he forest's edge, suggesting the criminal was wary of venturing deeper in the forest at night.
The wilderness at night be dozens of times more dangerous than during the day.
With Dragonair's wings expanding, they accelerated.
Julian grabbed Dragonair's ightly, lowered his body, and looked at Ground below. He couldn't help but fear heights, thinking about whether to make a Flyi.
