Chapter 360: Bros Before Romance?

Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Bros Before Romance?

After thinking it over and over, Julian felt that he still needed to consult someone else.

Reggie was also single, and that guy did not keep secrets well.

It would be easy for Paul and Maylene to find out.

Julian took out his phone and sent a message to his good brother, who had not sent any news since going off on that mission last time.

[Kommo-o_Who_Loves_Singing_And_Dancing:Bro, let me ask you something. I have a friend who likes a girl, but the gap in status between them is too big]

[Kommo-o_Who_Loves_Singing_And_Dancing:Especially since the girl might achieve something soon, making the gap between them even bigger. He asked me whether confessing after the girl achieves results would make him look a bit opportunistic]

The message was sent out, but he did not receive a reply.

He waited for a while, but his friend still did not respond.

Julian frowned.

"What kind of mission is he carrying out? Why has there been no news for so long?"

Julian then prepared to set off home.

He found Kai, who had spent the past few days mingling with the Primeape Trainers, and discovered that he was holding a Pokémon Egg incubator.

Inside was a white Pokémon Egg with some brown markings.

"What Pokémon’s Egg is this?"

Kai smiled and said, "I don’t know. It belongs to one of the older guys here. After his Primeape finished training, it slept under a big tree. When it woke up, it found this Pokémon Egg on the grass nearby."

"Primeape brought the Pokémon Egg back, but they don’t have time to look after it, so they gave it to me."

"I asked Yuzo to help me check it, but he couldn’t tell what Pokémon’s Egg it was either."

Julian stretched out his hand and released Aura towards the Pokémon Egg.

"It’s a very healthy Egg. Let’s take it back and have Nurse Joy take a look."

Julian already had a vague answer in his heart.

It was rare for the Rowan Laboratory to gather so many Primeape. There were males and females, and they were all elites among Primeape. Their bodies contained quite a lot of Ghost-type energy.

Kai had found treasure.

Julian sensed faint Ghost-type energy inside the Pokémon Egg.

This might be why Yuzo had misjudged it after examining the Egg.

Kai’s Mankey might naturally master Rage Fist after evolving and even if it could not, understanding Rage Fist should be very easy.

This was another plan Professor Rowan wanted to carry out.

Optimising the Primeape bloodline to increase the possibility of evolution and reduce the risk of death.

Thinking of this, Julian pulled Kai along and went to find Professor Rowan again.

"Professor, look at this Pokémon Egg."

After Professor Rowan finished checking the Pokémon Egg’s data, he said, "That’s right. It should be a Mankey Egg. I’m not as specialised as Professor Elm, so my judgement may not be perfectly accurate."

"But this Pokémon Egg still allows me to see the possibility of transforming the Primeape bloodline. I plan to invite Professor Elm to my laboratory to cooperate on this subject."

"When the time comes, you and Kai should come again. Your Annihilape can also take the opportunity to ask about a method to learn Aerial Ace."

Julian nodded.

"I’ll definitely come then."

Although Kai did not understand everything, it seemed that the Pokémon Egg in his hands was very impressive.

At this stage, this Pokémon Egg was still a rare specimen.

By next year, it might become an ordinary Mankey.

For example, if Julian’s Annihilape found an Annihilape wife, or even a Primeape wife, the Ghost-type bloodline contained in the resulting Pokémon Egg would definitely be higher than this.

Kai raised the Pokémon Egg towards the sunlight and shouted, "Let us burn our youth together!"

For a moment, the Pokémon Egg seemed to release a faint white light in response.

Or perhaps it was the sunlight.

Kai did not know whether his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Julian said calmly, "You didn’t see wrong. This Pokémon Egg was responding to you. It has accepted you as its Trainer."

Kai revealed a brilliant smile.

"Master, I felt the power of youth. I’ll train even more seriously. Once the Pokémon Egg hatches..."

"I’ll be able to raise it with an all-new attitude and make it even more youthful!"

Julian patted Kai.

"Good. Very youthful!"

They drove all the way back to Veilstone Gym. After Julian and Kai put down their luggage, they first went to the market to buy supplies, brought them back by car, then returned the car to the rental shop.

During that time, Julian checked his phone multiple times.

There was still no reply.

Of course Cynthia had seen the message Julian sent.

But who was Cynthia?

As a tactical master, she could tell at a glance that the "friend" Julian mentioned was Julian himself!

Combined with the context, how could Cynthia not understand that Julian was considering confessing to her after she became Champion?

Back then, Julian had said he liked that appearance, which was why Cynthia, as if possessed by a strange impulse, dressed up as Cassia and went to Veilstone City.

In the end, after the two of them spent time together and kept spending time together, Julian said he liked Cynthia!

Then what was the Cassia identity she had worked so hard to disguise supposed to count as?

She could not let Julian confess just like that!

Cynthia had not had enough fun with this love war yet!

A confession was not the horn signalling the charge.

It was the song of victory.

Were the two of them not already dating right now?

Julian could choose Cassia.

He could also choose Cynthia.

But if Julian dared to choose anyone else, even if Julian knew Wicked Blow, Cynthia would let him know what a Garchomp was!

And then there was Julian’s awful username.

Cynthia did not even want to talk about it!

If Garchomp had not already learned Dragon Dance and Brutal Swing, Cynthia would have been so angry she would have lost sleep for nights on end.

Late at night, Julian still had not received a reply.

He was a little worried.

Not worried about whether he should confess.

He was worried whether his good friend had sacrificed himself during a mission!

He didn’t even get a chance to learn his good real identity.

There was no way to investigate whether he was alive or dead.

[Kommo-o_Who_Loves_Singing_And_Dancing:Bro, if you’re done being busy, remember to send me a message]

Cynthia picked up her phone and saw the message Julian had sent.

She smiled slightly.

She had not replied, and Julian was even worrying whether she had died carrying out some dangerous League mission.

Good.

Let him worry a little!

Cynthia tossed her phone aside.

Sleep!

Julian looked at the bright moon in the sky.

If he wanted to know his online friend’s identity, he might really have to wait until Cynthia became Champion, then ask Cynthia to help investigate.

The Sinnoh Champion should be qualified to learn about the mysterious unit he belonged to.

Forget it.

Sleep!

If he was still alive, then Julian did not need to worry.

If he was dead, then he should sleep early, wake early, train his Pokémon, and become stronger so he could avenge him!

When Cynthia woke up the next morning, she did not see any new message from Julian.

A little angrily, she threw her phone onto the bed and pointed at it as if she were pointing at Julian’s head.

"You don’t think to message your bro for so long."

"Then when you suddenly send a message, it’s because of your girlfriend. You really are the kind of guy who forgets his friends once romance appears!"

She had completely forgotten that she was the one who had said she was carrying out a secret mission and that it was inconvenient to contact her, telling Julian not to message her.
