With the fusion of the Pokémon world and their world, the size of the planet had continued to expand. Even though it had been two hundred years, according to scientists' estimate, the size of the planet was still expanding, but it was much slower than at the beginning.
Also because of the fusion, Ruins and Secret Realms had appeared.
Ruins were rare and very mysterious, and each time something was brought out of the Ruins, it could make people more aware of Pokémon and promote the development of technology.
Ten years ago, a Ruin suddenly appeared in the southern part of Drakoria. The Drakorian Trainer Association immediately sent five Elites and ten top researchers to form an expedition to enter it.
They also blocked the surrounding area to prevent spies from other countries from sneaking in.
From this Ruin, the expedition team brought out the device about Poké Ball transmission and more advanced Poké Ball production technology, such as the Luxury Ball that appeared in these years was the product of this expedition.
Before that, the Poké Ball transmission technology had only been possessed by Celestria on the other side of the ocean. Under the monopoly of technology, the Celestrians exchanged a large amount of resources and country-specific Pokémon with other countries.
Now that Drakoria also had such technology, and many countries that were unhappy because of Celestria's use of this technology to oppress them wantonly were looking for Drakoria to cooperate.
As for the price of bringing out these technologies, three of the five Elite-level Trainers who entered died, and the Elite-level main Pokémon were almost all killed in battle.
There was only one Elite Trainer, relying on his psychic-type Pokémon's Teleport brought the rest back, and his Alakazam suffered a serious decline in strength due to excessive use of Psychic energy.
Why they lost so much was because they met the Regi-trio and many other Advanced-level Pokémon in the Ruins.
Therefore, each exploration of the Ruins represented a huge harvest, but also represented serious danger.
As for the Secret Realms, they were similar to the Ruins, but the beings living in the Secret Realms were all Pokémon, and there was no technology in them.
The Secret Realms were divided into Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Top level. There were only five Top-tier Secret Realms in the entire country, and traces of legendary Pokémon and a large number of Advanced-level Pokémon had been found in them.
The Top-tier Secret Realms were strictly controlled by the Drakorian Trainer Association. Unless you had contributed to the country or achieved extraordinary achievements, you were not eligible to enter.
Below the Top-tier Secret Realms, were the Advanced-level Secret Realms, and their number was relatively large. The entire country had more than 50 Advanced-level Secret Realms.
Eighteen of them were the Special kind, and they all contained Pokémon with a specific Typing.
For example, the Oreburgh Great Wall Secret Realm in Lake City, where all Pokémon were Steel-types, so the Drakorian Trainer Association built a National-level Gym here.
The duty of a Gym Leader was to guard the Secret Realm and prevent the Pokémon in the Secret Realm from running out and disturbing human society. Of course, the Trainer Association also arranged an army at the gate of the Secret Realm.
If there was a riot of Pokémon in the Secret Realm, it was far from enough to rely on the National-level Gym Leader alone, and the cooperation of the army was necessary.
Five years ago, there was a riot at Blue Lake, an Advanced-level Secret Realm in Pearl City, Central South Province, and more than 300,000 Pokémon rushed out of the Secret Realm, including seven Elite-level Pokémon and a dozen pseudo-Elites.
As a result, nearly half of the Pearl City at that time was destroyed, and there were countless casualties. The battle lasted for seven days before the Trainers repelled these Pokémon and successfully drove them back to the Secret Realm.
At that time, the Leader of Pearl City's National-level Gym, a water-type Elite was killed in the riot, and three other Elites were also killed, not to mention the ordinary Trainer and Pokémon.
The National-level Gyms were closely related to these Advanced-level Secret Realms. Although the Advanced-level Secret Realms were dangerous, they could also provide countless resources and powerful Pokémon.
The Leader of a National-level Gym could enter and exit the Advanced-level Secret Realm under jurisdiction, but could not capture more than six Pokémon per year.
And if the Secret Realm Pokémon rioted, the Gym Leader had to lead the way, which was an equivalent exchange.
In addition to these Special Advanced-level Secret Realms, the other Advanced-level Secret Realms were controlled by major top universities and companies, and of course the majority were owned by the Drakorian Trainer Association.
As for the Secret Realms of Beginner and Intermediate levels, the degree of danger was much lower than that of Advanced Secret Realms.
Especially Beginner-level Secret Realm, ordinary trainers could enter after paying a price ranging from 30,000 to 80,000.
With the integration of the Pokémon world, the Drakorian Trainer Association was established.
At that time, Julian and his family had been a big clan in Lake City. The ancestors of Julian's family had a very accurate vision and saw that the Drakorian Trainer Association would be a huge organization in the future, so they quickly brought all the clansmen to join them.
After two hundred years of development, the family also had a certain right to speak in the Trainers Association, and even controlled the entire Yale Province, but they were very low-key, and most ordinary people didn't know it.
Julian was also very low-key in school. No one knew that his father was a National-level Gym Leader and an Elite-level trainer.
In addition, his grandfather was a Top Drakorian Elite.
There were currently more than 500 Elite Trainers registered in the Drakorian Trainer Association, and the top eighteen Type-Elites stood in front of all Elite Trainers.
If you wanted to become a top Fire Elite among the 18 Elites, then you had to collect 8 National-level Gym Badges, which served two purposes.
One was to participate in the five-yearly World Championship.
And the second was for the Drakorian Elite Challenge.
If you could win the Elite Challenge, you would have the opportunity to challenge the top 18 Type-Elites, in a 6V6 match. If you officially defeated them, you could replace them as the new top Type-Elite.
Therefore, Julian's grandfather was the No. 1 trainer standing above all Steel-type trainers, and was the Steel Elite.
'Grandpa is one of the 18 strongest Elites, dad is a National-level Gym Leader and an Elite, and mom is a senior breeder.'
Rather than all roads leading to Rome, it was better to be born in Rome.
Julian was born directly in Rome. With such a family background, he saw the hope of becoming the strongest trainer ever.
After all, Trainer was a very expensive profession.
The market value of a piece of Fire Stone was more than 100,000, and if the purity was high enough, the value was even more than one million.
If it was replaced with Moon Stone, Sun Stone, some extremely rare evolution stones, the price would be even more than five million.
Evolution stones could not be made with current technology, and could only be found in major Secret Realms and Ruins, so the price had always been high.
If you wanted to raise an Elite-level Pokémon, if it had enough qualifications, the resources you put down would reach almost 100 million.
And because of the integration of the Pokémon world, the planet became larger, so the territories of the countries also became larger.
Now the total population of Drakoria was about 2 billion, and there were 300 million registered Trainers, but so far there had only been more than 500 Elites. It was obvious how difficult it was to become an Elite Trainer.
