"Gardevoir, long time no see, have you missed me?" Ling Wanqiu looked at Gardevoir.
"Gar~!"
With a turn of its head, Gardevoir didn't even look at Ling Wanqiu.
"Ahem, Gardevoir said it missed you very much."
"Does it look like it misses me? It's probably disliking me."
Hearing Jiang Chen's explanation, Ling Wanqiu said with a twitch of her mouth.
It seemed that Jiang Chen's Gardevoir had never liked her much, and her asking Gardevoir if it missed her seemed to have had an answer from the start.
She just wanted to ease the awkwardness caused by Gu Shuangyue, but she didn't expect it to become even more awkward now.
"Oh, right, I also caught a Pokémon."
Ling Wanqiu released her newly acquired Pokémon.
"Swablu."
With its sky-blue body and fluffy, cotton-like wings, Jiang Chen instantly recognized this Pokémon.
It's a Normal-type and Flying-type Pokémon, but its type changes after evolution. After evolving into Altaria, it becomes a Dragon-type and Flying-type Pokémon.
"How is my Swablu's talent?" Ling Wanqiu asked Jiang Chen.
Having known Jiang Chen for so long, Ling Wanqiu knew how sharp his eye was. Basically, Jiang Chen could tell whether a Pokémon's talent was good or bad.
"Not bad."
Jiang Chen gave a "not bad" evaluation. Don't think Jiang Chen's evaluation wasn't high; it was mainly because his standards were high. For him to evaluate something as "not bad," it had to have at least Elite Four-level Potential.
This Swablu before them had Elite Four-level Potential.
"Just 'not bad,' huh?"
"Being evaluated as 'not bad' is already good enough. This Swablu can at least become an Elite Four."
If it stayed with Jiang Chen for a long time, it wasn't impossible for Swablu's talent potential to evolve into a Champion.
"It hasn't been that long since we last met, but I feel like your Pokémon have gotten much stronger. Your Garchomp hasn't reached Elite Four strength, has it?"
Ling Wanqiu looked at Jiang Chen's Pokémon. After noticing Garchomp's extraordinary aura, she couldn't help but ask.
Garchomp's personality was inherently arrogant, and its aura was completely unhidden. Ling Wanqiu, who often saw Elite Four-level Pokémon, clearly sensed this Elite Four-level aura.
"That's right, this Garchomp luckily reached the Elite Four level, and it just broke through to the Elite Four level today. It's quite proud now."
"I plan to let it be proud for two days, then I'll cut down its arrogance, lest its tail goes wagging to the sky."
Jiang Chen nodded to Ling Wanqiu, acknowledging her guess.
"Pervert."
"Are you referring to the Pokémon or me?"
"Both are perverts."
This wasn't an insult to Jiang Chen; it was mainly because his Pokémon's strength increased too quickly. Although some of it was due to the Pokémon's own efforts, it was definitely inseparable from the trainer.
"I remember it was just a Gible back then. It hasn't even been half a year, and it's already Elite Four level strength."
Thinking of her own Garchomp, Ling Wanqiu instantly felt disheartened.
It had been over two years, and her Garchomp was still stuck at the threshold of Quasi-Elite Four Ninth Stage. The more she thought about it, the more disheartened she felt.
"Less than half a year, and it's cultivated to Elite Four level."
Gu Shuangyue, who clearly heard this, showed a flicker of emotion on her face.
What kind of concept was this? Gu Shuangyue understood better than Ling Wanqiu how difficult it was to cultivate Pokémon, especially when crossing thresholds.
From Normal to Elite-level, and from Elite-level to Quasi-Elite Four, it wouldn't be too difficult as long as the Pokémon's talent potential wasn't too bad.
However, moving from Quasi-Elite Four Ninth Stage to Elite Four level was a huge hurdle. Otherwise, she wouldn't have only three Elite Four-level Pokémon even now.
No wonder she wasn't his opponent, and this was without him even using Divine Beasts.
Ling Wanqiu's earlier evaluation of Jiang Chen was indeed "not bad"; he was truly a pervert.
It wasn't an insult; it was, to be precise, a compliment.
Seeing the rare shocked expression on Gu Shuangyue's icy face, Jiang Chen didn't explain.
His Garchomp grew so fast not because Jiang Chen's training plan was so good, but mainly because of the Dragon Stone Slab.
Although Jiang Chen wasn't bad, and he didn't mean to belittle himself, the Dragon Stone Slab definitely accounted for most of the credit for Garchomp reaching the Elite Four level in such a short time.
Without the Dragon Stone Slab, no matter how capable Jiang Chen was, Garchomp would at most be around Quasi-Elite Four Stage 7.
"I even want you to help me cultivate my Pokémon."
"If you're willing, I don't mind at all."
Hearing Ling Wanqiu's words, Jiang Chen genuinely didn't mind helping her cultivate Pokémon. He could also earn Points by helping Pokémon break through.
The Points earned were much more than those from battles.
For example, defeating an Elite Four-level Pokémon only earned ten thousand Points, but if he cultivated an Elite Four-level Pokémon to advance, he could earn one hundred thousand Points.
Jiang Chen was particularly short of Points. He needed Points to exchange for Divine Beasts.
However, the Points he currently had weren't even ten million. It seemed he needed to work hard on completing tasks, as the task rewards also offered a good amount of Points.
Opening the Quest Panel, Jiang Chen's expression froze.
"A completed quest, forgot to claim the reward."
Jiang Chen found a completed quest, and it had been a long time since it was completed, yet he had forgotten to claim the reward.
Previously, after a quest was completed, the system would directly issue the reward, but because the reward would suddenly appear in his hands, it would be difficult to explain if others saw it.
So Jiang Chen discussed it with the system, not letting the system issue it directly, but rather having him claim it himself. As a result, he hadn't looked at the Quest Panel for a long time and forgot to claim the reward.
[Quest: Possess three Elite Four-level Pokémon. Quest Reward: A random Champion Talent Quasi-legendary Pokémon Egg, Lucarionite x1, Garchompite x1, TM: Giga Impact, Points +500,000 (Completed)]
This quest reward was very generous. A random Champion Talent Quasi-legendary Pokémon Egg alone was worth one million Points.
All the other rewards combined were worth several million Points.
"I'm going to my room to get something."
Jiang Chen said to Ling Wanqiu and Gu Shuangyue, then used Teleport to return to his room.
Jiang Chen had superpowers and could use Teleport himself, but he couldn't teleport very far.
After returning to his room, Jiang Chen directly claimed the reward.
Two Mega Stones, Garchomp's and Lucario's Mega Stones. With these two Mega Evolution Stones, they could Mega Evolve.
Mega Evolution hadn't been exposed yet, and Jiang Chen hadn't demonstrated it in front of outsiders.
Putting the Mega Stones and TMs aside, Jiang Chen looked at the Pokémon Egg.
A Champion Talent Quasi-legendary Pokémon Egg, he wondered which Quasi-legendary it was. He hoped it was one he didn't already have.
"System, what is this Pokémon Egg?"
[Host, this is a Dreepy Egg.]
"A Ghost Dragon, huh?"
Jiang Chen's expression brightened.
Its final evolution, Dragapult, possessed unparalleled speed, and its attack wasn't weak either.
Besides Giratina, Dragapult was the only Ghost Dragon.
"To randomly draw a Dreepy Egg, my luck is pretty good. As long as it's not a Goodra, it's acceptable."
He placed the Pokémon Egg in the Incubator. He didn't know when Dreepy would hatch. He would let Ning Ya take a look when she had time.
Temporarily placing the Incubator on the table, Jiang Chen held the Mega Evolution Stones and pondered, deciding to compile some information about Mega Evolution Stones to give to his father.
It wasn't to make it public, but to have his father search for Mega Evolution Stones. These items, if they appeared in this world, would definitely be incredibly important.
Even in Champion battles, Mega Evolution could play a huge role.
For example, if Gardevoir, currently at Elite Four Stage 3 strength, Mega Evolved, its strength could rival an Elite Four Stage 9 Pokémon.
Jiang Chen wasn't sure if Mega Evolution Stones existed in this world. It would be best if they could be found, but it didn't matter if they couldn't.
Opening the Quest Panel, Jiang Chen glanced at the other quests on the panel.
[Quest: Win the Hidden Dragon Cup Trainer Competition. Quest Reward: Champion Talent Eevee x1, 5,000,000 Points]
[Quest: Possess six Elite Four-level Pokémon. Quest Reward: 10,000,000 Points]
[Quest: Obtain eight Gym Badges. Quest Reward: TM: Draco Meteor, 1,000,000 Points]
He looked at the Quest Panel, and the second quest was almost completed.
Currently, Jiang Chen had five Elite Four-level Pokémon: Dragonite, Gardevoir, Metagross, Wobbuffet, and Garchomp. He only needed one more to get ten million Points.
Although this quest had no other rewards, it was actually the most generous of the three quests. Items like the Champion Talent Eevee and TM: Draco Meteor could be bought with Points.
Conversely, items could not be exchanged for Points.
If items could be exchanged for Points, Jiang Chen might have exchanged the Blue Orb for Points and directly exchanged for a Kyogre.
After claiming the rewards, Jiang Chen walked out of the room.
In the courtyard, Ling Wanqiu and Gu Shuangyue were not talking.
Gu Shuangyue was too cold, and seeing her so icy, Ling Wanqiu didn't bother to communicate with her.
"Oh, there's one more thing I almost forgot to tell you."
Seeing Jiang Chen walk out, Ling Wanqiu approached him.
"What is it?"
"My dad invited you to my house tomorrow. Are you busy tomorrow?"
"If Elite Four Ling invites me, of course I'll go."
Jiang Chen didn't ask what Ling Zhan invited him for, but since he was invited, Jiang Chen had to go. He couldn't just ignore him, after all, Ling Zhan was half his teacher.
"If you're busy, I can help you decline. Don't feel obligated. I guess my dad just wants to check on Lucario's condition."
Ling Zhan was quite concerned about Jiang Chen's Lucario, as it was his Lucario's progeny.
"I'm actually not busy right now, no need to decline."
Apart from challenging Gyms, Jiang Chen had nothing else to do, and he wasn't in a hurry to challenge Gyms anyway.
Three months was enough time for Jiang Chen to collect eight Gym Badges.
