Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Celebi and Melmetal are both Mythical Pokémon, but there was a significant difference between them. The difference lies in whether they possess a unique ability.

Among the Steel-type Pokémon, Melmetal is recognized as a Mythical Pokémon, but it doesn’t have an exclusive ability of its own. Among Mythical Pokémon, it is considered quite ordinary, without any particularly distinguishing features.

Celebi, on the other hand, is different. While it is not known for its combat power, everyone familiar with it knows that Celebi has the ability to travel through time.

It can traverse from the present to the past, and if it wishes, it can choose to live in a specific period of time.

This is its unique ability—something Melmetal does not have.

Other Mythical Pokémon with special abilities include Jirachi, Hoopa, Mew, etc. Among all Mythical Pokémon, those with their own special abilities are considered the most unique.

If you were presented with a Celebi and a Melmetal and had to choose one, anyone who truly understands Mythical Pokémon would undoubtedly pick Celebi, which possesses the ability to travel through time.

Although Melmetal is powerful, it lacks a unique ability and can essentially be considered a different type of "pseudo-legendary."

Of course, Julian didn’t mean to look down on Melmetal—this was simply the reality of the situation.

"Why have I visited your place so many times and never seen Celebi?"

Upon seeing Celebi, Nicole momentarily forgot her worries about her grandfather and instead looked at Julian with dissatisfaction and curiosity.

'Does this girl have a problem with her brain? If she didn’t see it, what else could it mean? Obviously, I hid it.'

"Celebi was on the second floor, you just never went up," Julian replied.

Any Pokémon scholar would be thrilled to see a Celebi. If the situation weren’t so special right now, Julian wouldn’t have let Celebi be exposed at all.

Fortunately, not many people knew about it yet.

"Then you could have called it down."

Nicole clearly didn't believe Julian's nonsense, and looked at him angrily.

It was Celebi! A real Celebi! She had been to Julian’s house so many times and had never even noticed it.

"It said you're ugly and didn’t want to see you," Julian replied calmly.

Without hesitation, he threw Celebi under the bus.

If the situation weren’t so serious, Nicole might have bitten Julian on the spot. What kind of response was that? She was one of the top ten campus belles of Imperial University!

"My dear grandson, is this how you court girls?"

John gave Julian a strange look and whispered in his ear.

"Grandpa, I'm not pursuing her, women will only distract me from reaching greater heights."

Julian turned to look at John, wondering if his grandfather had misunderstood something.

"Good grandson, the highest state for a man is to marry a wife and have children."

Patting Julian's shoulder, he seemed to have thought of something, and his tone carried a hint of melancholy.

"I'm planning to visit Grandma in a while, do you want to come?" Julian asked.

His grandmother was alive and well, so there was no need to overthink. The reason she had never appeared was simply that she and John had divorced a long time ago.

As for why, Julian had never been able to get an answer from either his grandfather or father so far.

"What's so great about seeing that old woman? Count me out."

John immediately shook his head. For once, his expression showed hesitation, which was quite a sight for Julian.

"I'll be sure to pass your exact words on to Grandma," Julian said flatly.

John's body stiffened, his expression turning unnatural, but he still kept his tough stance. "Then you better not forget."

"There’s going to be some commotion when you go, so I'll give her a heads-up."

"Mm."

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, Celebi had already flown to Duke's side.

It seemed the healing was about to begin, so everyone turned their attention to Celebi. Nicole, in particular, was staring intently, her phone in hand—perhaps finally remembering her actual profession.

"You can study it yourself, but don’t spread the footage," Julian warned.

But Nicole didn’t even turn her head, her eyes locked onto Celebi with an intense gaze.

At this moment, maybe even her grandfather’s life or death wasn't as important as Celebi.

Duke: (◎…O)

Celebi hovered above Duke, murmuring softly as if chanting some kind of spell.

John and Nicole couldn't understand a word.

But Julian could, and his face darkened immediately.

Celebi: "My existence surpasses all things."

"I am not the ruler of the sky, yet the blood in my veins refuses to bow."

"This street belongs to me."

"Grip your sword tightly, young one."

Julian: 'What the hell is this thing talking about? Has it been brainwashed by anime!'

Holding his forehead, Julian looked utterly pained.

'Just let the world end already, I'm exhausted.'

Cringeworthy as its words were, Celebi was indeed casting a "spell."

At Parkway Hospital in Orient City, every plant—be it a small office potted plant or the large trees lining the streets—began to glow with faint green light.

And this effect was spreading rapidly, expanding towards the entire Orient city with Parkway Hospital as the center.

Potted plants at home, trees on the sides of the road, grass in the parks, forests, aquatic plants in rivers, vegetable gardens, orchards, and weeds—all green life began emitting tiny, sesame-sized specks of green light.

These green lights seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, rising into the air and flowing toward the direction of Parkway Hospital.

Nearly everyone in Orient City witnessed this phenomenon. Some reached out, trying to grasp the glowing particles, but the lights simply passed through their hands.

Countless streams of green light flowed from all directions, converging toward Parkway Hospital.

Some streamers doing live stream quickly pointed their cameras at the glowing spectacle.

“What is this? Some kind of special effect?”

“Streamer, this special effect is insane!”

“It’s not a special effect, I’m in Orient City right now, and the whole place is filled with these green lights.”

“This is crazy! My money plant just let out two little green lights from its leaves, and they floated away!”

“Streamer, hurry to Parkway Hospital! My friend says all these green lights are gathering there!”

A phenomenon of this scale was no accident. Something extraordinary was definitely behind it.

Many trainers in Orient City quickly realized that this was most likely the work of a Pokémon.

With that thought, they immediately rushed toward Parkway Hospital.

At the same time, a massive crowd of civilians also began making their way there.

Inside the hospital—the very center of this event—the medical staff were naturally curious. However, they had already received prior instructions.

'Do not panic. Do not be afraid. Continue your work as usual.'

"My dear grandson, this is the ‘small commotion’ you mentioned?”

John stood by the window, looking at the massive green river of energy formed from the life essence of every plant in Orient City, and couldn't help being a little speechless.

Faced with his grandfather's question, Julian didn't know what to say. In fact, he hadn’t expected Celebi to go this overboard either.

Had he known, he might’ve just spent ten thousand points to buy an antidote himself.

Now the entire city was in an uproar. There was no hiding the fact that a Pokémon was behind all of this—especially from those paying close attention.
