Lu Yuan had a little secret:
He was bound to the [Water-Type Champion System] and had a Champion-level Shiny Milotic.
But his parents were simply too dazzling:
His father was a Fire-Type Champion. A casual blast from his Charizard could burn straight through a mountain.
His mother headed a financial conglomerate, and all the breeding facilities around the world belonged to her family.
To avoid stealing their thunder, Lu Yuan decided to keep a low profile and develop quietly.
When he turned sixteen and got to choose his Starter Pokémon, he "reluctantly" picked an Oshawott that spent all day lying flat.
The teachers shook their heads, his classmates laughed at him, and even his rival, Chen Rui, mocked him: "That's the Champion's son for you?"
Then, during a practical class, Chen Rui sent out a Shiny Torchic to provoke him.
Lu Yuan sighed and tossed a Poke Ball. "Milotic, go easy on him."
The Champion-level Shiny Milotic appeared. The whole class fell silent.
Chen Rui's father, a Fire-Type Gym Leader, came to put pressure on him?
Lu Yuan's father made one call: "Who do you think you are, meddling in my son's business?"
His mother was even more direct: "Son, I've assigned the South Sea breeding facility to you. Raise whatever you like."
And that lazy otter everyone had looked down on...
In its first Gym battle, it stretched and dodged every attack.
On its second expedition into a secret realm, it yawned and learned Aqua Ring.
In its third brush with death, it sleepily... evolved?
The All-Knowing Eye's data refreshed at a furious pace:
[Seal unlocked: 10%... 30%... 50%...]
[Potential: Gym-level -> Overlord -> Champion -> Champion-tier -> Divine!]
When Oshawott finally evolved into the Sea Emperor Samurott, and Milotic revealed its true Primal Reversion form...
Lu Yuan sat on Gyarados's back, looking helplessly at the Dark Team leader begging for mercy before him.
"I told you, I really didn't want to show off this much."
"But my Pokemon... don't seem to agree."
I feel good for the time being. The plot is okay, mainly because the span is a bit too big. How does Shui Lalan talk without talking about the next chapter? Just a new form is a bit poisonous.
So-so... In many places the preface does not match the postscript...
