On Julian’s side, when the Poison-Type Treasure dyed half the sky green, the trainers who had been surrounding him immediately stopped their attacks.
Without hesitation, they withdrew their Pokémon and rushed toward the location of the treasure, afraid someone might snatch it first.
Within just a few seconds, there were no more Pokémon or trainers left in front of Julian.
Arcanine: "Don’t go..."
A few Pokémon turned to look at Julian, as if asking whether they should give chase or not.
Julian paused to think for a moment but didn’t act immediately, he just stood still for about a minute before suddenly saying, "Perfect timing."
Then, he climbed onto Metagross and said, "Let’s go check it out."
With a Teleport, Metagross brought Julian straight to where the treasure had emerged.
By the time he arrived, the battlefield was already in chaos—the trainers who had attacked him earlier, along with those who had been hiding, were now fighting each other.
Everyone here was an enemy, even the trainers who had teamed up against Julian before had now turned against each other.
Julian’s arrival didn’t stop the battle. Instead, the other trainers became wary, glancing at him with caution—but no one made a move.
Pokémon were constantly getting injured or killed. and the presence of the treasure had amplified human greed to its limit.
In a situation , let alone strangers—even lovers could backstab each other for the sake of claiming the treasure alone.
"Relax, I’ve already given up on this treasure."
Julian noticed that many trainers around him were already showing hostility toward him. Maybe it was because he had been standing back and observing, making them think he was waiting to swoop in like a fisherman collecting the spoils.
"There’s only one treasure, but more than a dozen of us here. I don’t want my Pokémon to suffer unnecessary losses," Julian explained.
In such an uncontrolled and brutal fight, the risk of trainers and Pokémon dying was far too high.
"My Pokémon are much more important to me than some unknown Poison-Type Treasure," Julian said.
With that, he rode Metagross away under the watchful gazes of the others, making it seem as though he had truly left for good.
"Did he really leave?" one trainer muttered.
"Maybe, his Pokémon are indeed rarer than the treasure itself," another trainer commented.
"Or maybe he’s just hiding."
Regardless of whether Julian had actually left or not, one thing was certain—he was no longer here for now. Of course, they remained cautious.
For all they knew, other cunning trainers could still be lurking nearby, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Meanwhile, Julian had completely left the area. With several consecutive Teleports, he had already arrived at the exit of the secret realm.
Just as Julian arrived at the secret realm’s exit, several trainers rushed in from the outside, flying at high speeds toward a specific direction.
"It seems that the news has already spread," Julian muttered to himself.
The direction they were flying in was exactly where the Poison-Type Treasure had appeared.
It was expected—someone inside the secret realm must have sent word to the outside. Treasures , no matter how dangerous, would always attract countless trainers.
Outside the Secret Realm;
As soon as Julian stepped out of the gate, he was met with the sight of a massive military presence.
The military had deployed a large force, fearing that the emergence of the Ultimate Poison-Type Treasure might provoke the Pokémon inside, causing a stampede that could break out of the secret realm.
The moment Julian came out, a soldier with a major general’s insignia quickly approached him.
"Julian, Marshal Walker is on his way here."
Since the secret realm blocked all outside signals, Julian had informed his family beforehand that he would be exploring Secret Realm No. 98.
Who would have thought that this exact secret realm would be the one where an Ultimate Poison-Type Treasure would appear.
The moment John Walker heard about this, his first thought was that his beloved grandson was inside the secret realm. He was worried that Julian might get caught up in the fight over the treasure and would be bullied by some shameless older generation trainers.
Julian was momentarily stunned but quickly pulled out his phone to call his grandfather.
"Hello? Julian, are you hurt?!"
John’s voice came through the phone, carrying a hint of urgency.
He had confidence in Julian’s strength, but the temptation of the Poison-Type Treasure was too great. In a situation , Julian’s identity, instead of help-might become a target on his back.
It was very likely that the trainers inside would team up and eliminate Julian first.
"Grandpa, I’m fine. I’ve already left the secret realm, and the Poison-Type Treasure is still inside the secret realm."
"We don’t need that thing. Remember—whenever you encounter something , do exactly what you did today: leave immediately. Our family doesn’t lack treasures."
The more talented a person was, the more easily they became a target.
Regardless of the fact that Julian was already an Elite Trainer, and backed by the Walker family, hidden dangers still lurked everywhere.
His talent had already made many powerful families uneasy, and they would rather see him fall than allow him to grow stronger.
What Julian didn’t know was that, behind the scenes, John and Jake had already eliminated numerous threats, including several influential families, that had tried to move against Julian.
Some of them were even major clans.
"I understand, Grandpa," Julian nodded.
After exchanging a few more words, Julian ended the call.
Then, he left the area, riding Metagross back to his hotel.
Meanwhile, the news of Julian leaving the secret realm quickly spread among those who had been paying close attention.
"So he really gave up on the Poison-Type Treasure..."
"What a shame. If he had chosen to fight for it, he might not have made it out alive."
"Maybe he sensed something."
"Did our people expose themselves?"
"No. We didn't even get a chance to act—Julian left before we could make a move."
"In that case, our priority is securing the Poison-Type Treasure. With it, our family might be able to produce a Champion."
Inside his hotel room, Julian drew the curtains shut.
His expression was filled with excitement as he said, "Alright, let’s see it!"
From his shadow, a white Gengar emerged with a grin.
Extending its red tongue, the ghost Pokémon revealed a small, emerald-green orb, no larger than a thumb.
Julian immediately activated Probing Eyes to analyze it.
[Poison Pearl: Poison-Type Ultimate Treasure]
- A Pokémon that consumes it will gain complete immunity to Poison-Type moves.
- Any Poison-Type attack used by the Pokémon will always poison the target upon hitting.
- Poison-Type move power increased by 50%.
Seeing the description, Julian's eyes widened in shock. This treasure’s effects far surpassed the Fire Crystal he had obtained before!
Ultimate Treasures also had different tiers, and the Fire Crystal belonged to one of the lower ranks among Fire-Type treasures, but the Poison Pearl was a high-tier Poison-Type treasure, the kind few could ever lay their hands on.
Gengar floated excitedly around Julian, its crimson eyes fixed on the orb in Julian's palm.
The pearl’s presence was so irresistibly alluring that, if not for its trainer holding it, Gengar might’ve already devoured it on the spot.
"Definitely worth the trip!"
Julian grinned, tossing the Poison Pearl toward Gengar.
Without hesitation, Gengar snapped its jaws shut, swallowing the treasure in one gulp.
