Although Julian didn't dare to test his defenses against attacks, he could still assess other aspects, such as his body's rea speed and resilience.

  "Lucario!"

  With that in mind, Julia out Lucario.

  "Meta~!"

  Metagross: You won't believe this, I've been lifted up by our trainer just now.

  Lucario: What the hell, You didn't wake up properly!

  Seeing the two iing Pokémon, especially Metagross, who rarely showed emotion, Julian cleared his throat and said, "Lucario, punch me with a hundred pounds of strength."

  Lucario, as a Fighting-type, excelled in trolling his power. If he aimed for 100 pounds, he wouldn't exceed it by even a gram. Metagross, oher hand, might hit 200 pounds.

  For an ordinary person, a punch with that force will definitely hurt a lot, but it will not be fatal.

  "Meta~!"

  Metagross: The trainer is telling you to hit, just do it but don't be surprised ter.

  Lucario looked at Julian aagross, they were not ag normal, but then he delivered a quick punch.

  Julian instinctively stepped to the left.

  Lucario: [?_??]

  "Cough, let's start with my reflexes. Gradually increase the speed of your punches."

  Lucario's initial speed was impossible for Julian to dodge before; now, however, he ma easily.

  At this time, Lucario also found that his trainer was a little abnormal.

  At one-fifth of the speed: dodge.

  At one-quarter of the speed: dodge.

  At ohird of the speed: hit.

  It wasn't until Lucario used ohird of his speed that he hit Julian, with a hundred pounds of force hitting him. The tter didn't seem to feel much pain.

  Looking at Julian, if it wasn't for the familiar Aura exuding from his body, Lucario would have thought that the other party was ged by a Ditto.

  How did Julian suddenly bee s?

  After a series of tests, Julian grasped the extent of his Mega Pallet Town physique.

  His speed, strength, rea time, and bat abilities had all signifitly improved, although the exact metrics were still unknown.

  At least now, Mom wouldn't have to worry about him dying in a Pokémon battle's aftermath.

  He took out some Rare dy a Metagross e it, raising its level from 51 to 54.

  Lucario had no opinion on this, Metagross is the stro among them; the stronger Metagross became, the stronger Julian would be.

  Just 7 more levels aagross could reach pseudo-Elite status— which is a brand new field. Before heading to Imperial Uy, Julian aimed to push Metagross to Advanced-level peak.

  Julian also got three Mewtwments from the rewards, plus seven he'd gathered before, leaving him just y fragments short of the one hundred.

  'Hmmmm - y fragments more and I'll be able to summowo.'

  "Extract Psychic!"

  With the extra of the intermediate Psychic, Juliahat his spiritual power had beely improved in an instant.

  Si was freshly awakened, his Psychiergy radiated untrolbly, causing objects around his room to float.

  "Meta~!"

  Metagross quickly used its own Psychic to suppress Julian's untrolled outburst and looked at him with doubts.

  "It's okay; I just awakened my Psychic," Julian forted when he saw the worried eyes of the two Pokémon.

  With Intermediate Psychic, he could now unicate telepathically with Pokémon and humans—one-way, uhe other had telepathy too.

  With Metagross possessing both Steel and Psychic types, now Julian having awakened his intermediate Psychice his power is bined with Metagross' Psychic, both their strength will be further increased.

  Psychic served another critical fun: as a radar. By radiating Psychiergy, Julian could visualize everything within 500 meters, though the rger the area, the more mental energy it ed so it won't st for much time.

  Psychic also has another important role, which is to increase the time of Pokémon's Mega Evolution.

  A Pokémon's Mega Evolutioh depended orainer's physical aal stamina. Any exhaustion would prematurely end the transformation.

  Julian's Psychic was closely tied to mental power. Stronger mental power meant more potent Psychiergy.

  With his Mega Pallet Town physique and enhanced Psychic, Julian could make his Pokémon Mega Evolve longer— it will definitely make his Rivals despair.

  'Iure, I will not use my feet to walk, but float.'

  Then Julian looked at the st reward.

  Soul of Totem: verts a Pokémon into a Totem Pokémon (only for Pokémon below level 10).

  (T/N: kind of like royal gene/ king's gene or alpha pokemon type stuff)

  Totem Pokémon is another kind of existehat is different from ordinary Pokémon besides Shiny Pokémon.

  Shiny Pokémon is a differen color, and Totem Pokémon is a differen size.

  Totem Pokémon are more than twice the size of their peers.

  The leader of a is not necessarily a Totem Pokémon, but a Totem Pokémon must be the leader of the .

  Like Shiny Pokémon, Totem Pokémon are rare, usually found in the wild, secret realms, or ruins, nearly impossible for humans to cultivate.

  And Shiny Pokémon involves a probability problem; as long as there are enough of the same species, a Shiny Pokémon will eventually appear.

  For example, the most avaible shiny Pokémon is a Magikarp.

  Gold Magikarp, Bck Magikarp, Purple Magikarp, Blue Magikarp, etc., every year in some aus there will appear a different colored Magikarp.

  Lucky fishermen might cate and sell it for a fortune.

  As long as the heteroatic Magikarp ot be evolved into a Gyarados, its biggest role is just a decoration.

  There is a golden Magikarp in the Lake City Aquarium. It has been more than ten years and there is no sign of evolution at all.

  Given the level restris for using the Soul of Totem, none of Julian's current Pokémon were suitable, so he'd have to wait for the right one.

  No rush there.

  Overall, the mai rewards were impressive, and Julia secure knowing he could protect himself. He no longer had to fear being caught off-guard by a wild Pokémon.

  Now, he especially hoped for the system to release the mai, but such quests typically arise from his usual enters.
