In Drakoria, the main starter Pokémon were Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur. These three Pokémon were carefully bred by the Breeder's Association of the country for hundred years.
Both their growth potential and species strength were the best of all known regular Pokémon.
But the price was also very high, their Pokémon eggs started at one million.
If Will's starter Pokémon was really a Charmander, he was already ahead of most people.
"Julian what is your starter Pokémon."
The relationship between the two of them was good, and Will was also curious about what Julian's starter Pokémon was, but it would definitely not be as good as his own Charmander.
"You'll know after summer vacation."
Julian smiled and had already started to pack the textbooks on the table and stuffed them into the schoolbag.
Because of the existence of Pokémon in this world, the learning content of school was not only mathematics, science, foreign languages, but also about Pokémon, which was also a main subject.
Even if you didn't want to be a Trainer, Pokémon knowledge was a must.
Just like English, most people wouldn't use it when they learned it, but you had to learn it.
It was just that in the third grade of high school, it was divided into regular class and trainer class, and the proportion of Pokémon learning in the total score would be different.
Lake City was the capital city of Yale Province, and it was also a very famous city in Drakoria. The main reason was that there was a National-level Gym here.
There were only 18 National-level Gyms in the entire country, corresponding to the 18 Typings of Pokémon, and the one in Lake City was a National-level Steel-type Gym.
A person who wanted to be a National-level Gym Leader had to have at least three Elite-level Pokémon, and the Drakorian Trainers Association would send people to inspect the Gym every three years. If the Gym Leader failed the assessment twice in a row, the Gym Leader would be dismissed.
The National-level Steel-type Gym was located on the outskirts of Lake City. After more than two hours, Julian arrived at the door of the Gym.
The entrance was ten meters high and five meters wide, and the whole body was made of bronze. There was a stone statue of Metagross on the left of the entrance, and a stone statue of Aggron on the right.
These two Pokémon were the symbols of the Steel-type Gym, and they were also the two strongest Pokémon of the Gym Leader.
"Ding Dong~"
Julian rang the doorbell on the left side of the gate.
Soon a happy voice came from the camera above the door: "My son is back, mom will open the door for you."
Not long after, the heavy bronze door slowly opened, and a silver Metagross flew out immediately. Metagross gently rubbed Julian with his big head.
"Meta~"
A happy voice came out of Metagross's mouth.
"Metagross, I can be a trainer tomorrow," Julian patted Metagross's head happily.
Julian usually lived on campus, and only went home on Fridays. Every time he went home, Metagross would rush out to pick him up when the door opened.
The usual Metagross was blue in color but this one was silver, apparently this was a Shiny Metagross.
Metagross itself was a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon, plus it was a shiny, its value was already immeasurable, and shiny Pokémon also had a special trait.
The trait of this Shiny Metagross was that its body's hardness was one and a half times that of a normal Metagross.
The Steel-type Pokémon itself was known for its strong defense, and the defense of this Metagross was even higher than that of a normal Metagross.
This made it a nightmare for all trainers who wanted to challenge this Gym.
To challenge a National-level Gym, the minimum trainer requirement was to be a pseudo-Elite.
Julian's identity had finally been revealed now. He was the only son of the Leader of this National-level Steel Gym, the son of Jake Walker, a well-known Elite Trainer in Yale Province.
When you walked into the Gym, you would see a huge battle-field, bigger than two football fields. After all, the lowest level of challenger the Gym saw was a pseudo-Elite. If the arena was too small to allow the Pokémon to display its due strength it could also be opened so that Flying-type Pokémon would not be restricted.
Julian's home was at the back of the battle-field. He could continue walking from the gate of the arena, and then circle around to get home, but it would take a lot of trouble.
So he went directly from the arena, as the distance was the shortest.
After passing through the area, there was a front yard about the size of a basketball court. And behind the front yard was a three-story villa, which was Julian's home.
At the back of the villa was a huge backyard, where most of his father and mother's Pokémon rested.
Following Metagross into the house, Julian threw his schoolbag on the sofa, and immediately lay down on it.
Metagross opened the refrigerator with psychic and pulled out an ice-cold Coke.
"Thank you Metagross," Julian said.
Just then, his mother, Tina, walked out of the kitchen, holding a knife in her hand, and said in a displeased tone, "Drinking iced Coke on a cold day, I'll see what you do when you have a cold."
"You too, Metagross, don't you know what to do with him?"
*'Well, I was scolded as soon as I got home, and I brought Metagross along.'*
Julian had already gotten used to it. After drinking a sip of the iced Coke, he said, "Mom, where's dad, why isn't he here?"
As the Leader of a National-level Gym, you didn't need to think about how busy you were, in fact, there might not even be a few challengers in a month.
After all, for a challenger the most annoying requirement was to be a pseudo-Elite, and there were 18 Gyms in the entire country.
As long as you collected eight National-level Gym Badges, you could participate in the World Trainer Competition.
The Steel-type Gym was the most difficult one to overcome among the 18 National-level Gyms, so unless you had absolute confidence in your own strength, you would not come to challenge.
"There has been some movement over at the Oreburgh Great Wall in the last few days. Your father went to take a look. He should be back soon," Tina said.
"Something happened in the secret realm, why didn't he bring Metagross?" Julian said worriedly.
Metagross was his father's main Pokémon, and he was a little worried about Jake not taking it with him.
"It's just a small problem, and he brought Aggron, it's fine," Tina comforted.
Julian was relieved after hearing that. And his father was an Elite-level Trainer and had experienced many battles. If something major really happened in the secret realm, he would definitely take Metagross, not just one of his main team Pokémon.
While talking, Julian had finished drinking the iced cola on the table. As Lake No. 1 Middle School was a key high school in Lake City, there were no canteens for fast food in it.
Julian had fantasized about this iced cola for five days.
