⚜️40 Adavance chapter in Patreon ⚜️
Freshman military training is over, and the school has granted a holiday for the freshmen to unwind and relax. Originally scheduled for four days, the vacation has been extended by five additional days, making it a total of nine days off, leaving many working adults envious.
During these nine days, Alex didn't plan to stay at school the entire time.
As for the destination, Alex hadn't decided yet.
However, he received an invitation from Wendy to visit her home. She also wanted to buy a Shiny Pokémon that Alex had captured in the secret area of the redwood forest—Shiny Nuzleaf.
Alex didn't refuse. After discussing with his counselor, he received permission from the school to release this Nuzleaf and sell it to Wendy, as a gesture of goodwill.
Today, after dining alone, Alex returned to the dormitory. As for the other three roommates, they had long since gone off with their girlfriends, traveling and shopping. Alex found himself the lone occupant in the 427 dormitory.
However, an unexpected surprise awaited him. Alex received a message from the school indicating that the rewards had arrived ahead of schedule.
"Student Alex, the rewards for the freshman military training have been delivered. Please come to the Shangshan Building to receive them."
"..."
The quasi-god had arrived? Or rather, Larvitar had arrived. Alex didn't return to the dormitory; instead, he hopped on his bicycle and headed toward Shangshan Building.
The school is huge, and wherever you go, you need to ride a bicycle or a small electric scooter to avoid wearing out your legs.
More than ten minutes later, in the office on the second floor of Shangshan Building, several school leaders had already gathered, and Alex's counselor was there too, eyeing Alex with a flash of envy.
Larvitar—a quasi-god Pokémon, a must-have trump card for the powerful. To say they weren't envious would be a lie.
As trainers, the allure of a quasi-god's power is incredibly tempting for those aspiring to become stronger and one of the top trainers in the country.
However, rewards are rewards. Since they can offer quasi-god Pokémon as a reward according to the agreement, they naturally wouldn't renege now.
"Alex, right?" A confident school leader spoke directly, optimistic about Alex.
"Congratulations on securing first place in this freshman military training. This Larvitar is presented to you as a gift," the leader said, pointing to a Rock Ball on the table with a smile. "I hope you, Alex, will continue to work hard and bravely climb the peaks, aiming to become a Gym Leader or even an Elite member as soon as possible."
As for becoming a champion, they didn't dare to imagine that yet. Pokémon University has been established for decades and hasn't produced a champion yet—only one Elite.
"Thank you, leader!" Alex expressed his gratitude, both excited and maintaining proper decorum, thanking them before picking up the Rock Ball under everyone's expectant gaze.
"Open it," a school leader jokingly suggested, asking Alex to inspect the goods. It would be awkward to discover the Larvitar wasn't inside once he left the office.
"Okay," Alex said. As he held the Rock Ball, the excitement and joy in his heart gradually calmed. It was just Larvitar, after all. Alex convinced himself to remain composed.
"Come out! Larvitar!" With a flash of red light, a gray-green monster Pokémon appeared before everyone. Alex finally met the much-anticipated quasi-god—Larvitar!
Larvitar had rock-like gray-green skin, a long blunt horn on its head, red eyes, short arms, and single-toed feet, resembling a shrunken version of Godzilla from the movies Alex had seen in his past life.
Larvitar's abdomen was adorned with a diamond-shaped red scale, and its waist bore four diamond-shaped black holes.
"Kira-"
The moment Larvitar appeared, its eyes were still a bit blurry, and its bones seemed somewhat soft, as if not yet fully developed.
This action didn't go unnoticed by those present.
"This Larvitar..." one leader began, hesitating. Normally, the price of a quasi-god cub exceeds 500 million. Those with strong talent and good conditions fetch even higher prices.
But this time, the school hadn't spent that much, and the purchased Larvitar's condition and growth were concerning.
"..."
Jamie, a professional in the field, noticed immediately that something was amiss with Larvitar. However, due to her position, she couldn't voice her concerns.
Her gaze at Alex was tinged with disappointment.
However, a quasi-god cub is still a quasi-god cub, isn't it? This should be considered the best outcome.
At this moment, Alex also evaluated Larvitar. "Indeed," he thought, "not all quasi-gods are talented prodigies."

It was underwhelming. A quasi-god with only gym-level talent was unworthy of its status. Initially disappointed, Alex's heart softened when he saw Larvitar's confused eyes.
Immediately, Alex used the power of aura to connect with Larvitar's mind and communicate. "Don't worry, little one. You'll be my partner from now on."
Alex squatted down, unconcerned about Larvitar's current condition. Although a quasi-god cub like this was disappointing, it was still priceless. Alex was speechless, but fortunately, with an ace up his sleeve, he wasn't worried about raising this quasi-god into something formidable.
"Kira!" Larvitar was curious, surprised by the human's voice in its mind.
"Don't worry," Alex reassured, extending his hand. "I'll help you become stronger!"
