Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"Hello, I'm Ning Zhu, a notary from the Alliance Notary Office!"

The next morning, Mu Yun saw a capable woman dressed in office attire downstairs at the hotel.

She looked young, around thirty, and wore frameless glasses. Her hair was naturally draped over her shoulders, giving her the look of a sophisticated urban woman.

"Hello, Mu Yun."

Mu Yun greeted them, and the two boarded the notary office's car and headed to the Xu family's residence.

To be precise, it is the Xu family's secret realm.

Just like when we went to the Liu family to get the Gastly's Pokémon egg, we also need to go to the Xu family's secret realm to get the Beldum's Pokémon egg.

The reason is simple: apart from the Secret Realm, no place in Jiakou City dares to accept a pseudo-legendary Pokémon egg with champion-level potential.

If something goes wrong, no one can afford the consequences.

"This is the Silver Steel Secret Realm of our Xu family."

On the bus, a young man from the Xu family gave an introduction.

The name "Silver Steel Secret Realm" comes from the old patriarch's silver giant monster and the attribute that the Xu family excels at most—steel.

Although their development time is not as long as those established families, their overall strength is in no way inferior to those established families, thanks to the power of quasi-gods.

This was said by the young man himself, his face beaming with pride as he spoke.

Mu Yun neither confirmed nor denied this.

Mu Yun didn't know what level others were at, but he had seen a bit of the Changqing Liu family.

The sheer number of champion-level ancestors alone is probably beyond the reach of ordinary families.

After all, Ghost-type Pokémon are known for their long lifespans, and when it comes to accumulating experience, who can compare to the Ghost-type family?

"This is the location of our Xu family's Silver Steel Secret Realm. Please put on your spatial isolation shields to avoid any accidents."

As usual, after attaching spatial shields to the empty Poké Balls around their waists, Mu Yun and the others followed the Xu family into the secret realm.

After a relatively smooth teleportation, Mu Yun entered the Silver Steel Secret Realm.

Because it has been artificially restored, it still looks like a normal building, but the architectural style is very rough, with mostly silvery-white steel.

Besides the buildings, Mu Yun also saw many members of the Xu family on patrol, each accompanied by a Steel-type Pokémon.

One of them was accompanied by a gigantic silver giant monster floating beside him.

"Young Master!"

Upon seeing the silver-haired, giant-faced young man approaching, the Xu family members immediately greeted him.

The young man nodded to the group with a warm smile on his face.

He then walked straight to Mu Yun's side, smiling and extending his hand, saying, "Xu Kaijun, nice to meet you, welcome to the Xu family!"

"Mu Yun".

Mu Yun shook hands with him.

With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and thick calluses on his palms, it's clear he's put in a lot of hard work in terms of physical fitness.

"Leave this to me, I'll take him there," Xu Kaijun said to the Xu family members beside him.

Soon, the group arrived at the place where the Pokémon eggs were stored.

There were many unhatched Pokémon eggs here. Mu Yun glanced at them and found that almost all of them were Steel-type.

Following Xu Kaijun's steps, Mu Yun and the others soon arrived at a room specifically for storing Metagross Pokémon eggs.

The space here is large, and the temperature and humidity are specially controlled, making it the most suitable environment for preserving Metagross Pokémon eggs.

There are three in total.

Among them, two with the potential of a king are on the left and right, and one with the potential of a champion is in the middle.

..............................

[Pokémon: Iron Dumbbell]

Gender: None

[Attribute: Steel + Psychic]

Level: 0 (Egg)

【Ability: Immortal Body (Unaffected by the opponent's moves and abilities)】

[Move: Impact]

【Items to bring: None】

[Potential: Champion Level]

[Racial stats: 300]

[Special Bonus: 1. Champion's Offspring (First Generation): Energy quality increased by 20%, meaning the power of all moves is increased by 20%]

..............................

How to put it? This is arguably the least impressive champion-level potential that Mu Yun has ever seen.

There are no special moves, and the bonuses are not high.

Since they are genderless, the sprite eggs reproduce entirely on their own, so there is no double offspring bonus.

But there's nothing we can do about it; Iron Dumbbell is just that kind of Pokémon that's incredibly useless in the early game but becomes incredibly powerful in the late game.

Fortunately, these were minor issues for Mu Yun.

You'll get upgrades to move power and such in the future.

The only thing that made him a little disappointed was that it was just an ordinary, un-skinned iron dumbbell.

It would be great if it were a silver version with a different color.

He quite liked the silver Metagross.

Just as Mu Yun was waiting to receive the elf egg, Xu Kaijun's voice rang out again.

"These three are just the eggs of elves born from the Elite Four level Metagross monsters; yours is further inside."

Oh?

Could it be that there's still a chance?

Mu Yun followed him into the inner room.

Sure enough, there was a smaller room in the inner room, but the facilities were just as good, and a silver-white elf egg was quietly placed inside.

However, after seeing the information about the elf egg, Mu Yun's anticipation instantly cooled.

..............................

【Pokémon: Iron Dumbbell (Silver)】

【Ability: Immortal Body (Unaffected by the opponent's moves and abilities)】

[Potential: Champion Level]

[Racial stats: 300]

Special Bonus: 1. Crown Prince (First Generation): Energy quality increased by 10%, meaning the power of all moves is increased by 10%.

2. **Color Bonus:** ① Significantly increases own potential; ② Increases the power of own physical attack moves by 50%.

..............................

This is a rare, unusually colored iron dumbbell with the potential to reach champion level, but its special enhancement attribute is only that of a descendant of a king.

This means that he is merely the offspring of a Megalomon of the Heavenly King level.

They were just lucky and a positive mutation occurred.

Even though he finally got his hands on the silver iron dumbbell he had been longing for, and his potential had reached the champion level, he felt no joy, but rather some anger.

Even if he got the ordinary iron dumbbell with champion-level potential outside the door, and then realized with his own eyes that he had missed it, he wouldn't be too angry. At most, he would just lament his bad luck.

But now, this feeling of being made a fool of makes him very angry!

However, he didn't say anything, and his expression didn't even change much; he remained calm and composed.

Xu Kaijun did take a few more glances at him.

A boy from a small town is surprisingly calm when he sees a pseudo-legendary Pokémon egg with "champion-level" potential.

Was his method of substituting the prince for the raccoon cat wrong...?

Do not!

How could an outsider possibly distinguish these things!

Iron Dumbbell, a champion-level talent, is one of the few that the Xu family has. How can they just give him away like this!

Even if the League provides resources, how can they compare to the rarity and power of Metagross!

As for whether it will be discovered?

With the help of a Megalodon to plan and scheme, every step, including the video recording, was done by him personally. No one else was involved, so even his own people couldn't tell, let alone outsiders.

Even the notary office staff would never be able to see through the actions of this Megalomon who had studied in Xindu.

"This is his birth certificate and records."

Xu Kaijun handed a document to Ning Zhu, who was acting as a notary.

Ning Zhu opened a Poké Ball from her waist.

A sprite resembling a wind chime appeared in the room.

Wind Chime, the evolved form of Bell Ringing, is a Psychic-type Pokémon. Although its base stats are not high, it is quite intelligent for a Psychic-type Pokémon.

"Lingling~~"

After careful and meticulous verification, Ningzhu and Fenglingling each pressed their fingerprints on the document.

Mu Yun didn't say much, and followed suit by pressing his handprint.

Xu Kaijun did the same, and smilingly placed the elf egg in the incubator and handed it to Mu Yun.

"Congratulations on obtaining the Iron Dumbbell. If you have any questions about its training, feel free to come to the Xu family to find me anytime."

"I will!"

Mu Yun smiled; his smile was sunny and radiant.

It's just like the sun at eight or nine o'clock, bright and energetic.

He will definitely come, but perhaps he won't be called Mu Yun anymore then.
