The success of the experiment did not cause any waves. Except for a few parties involved, the news has been kept secret. Only the top leaders of the Pokémon Association know about it, and the Pokémon Association has begun to secretly collect exclusive Z-Crystals.

At the same time, the reward that the Pokémon Association had originally planned to give to Jacob was temporarily shelved and had to be started over again.

It is obvious that Jacob's current contribution has far exceeded their expectations. With Jacob's current outstanding contribution, it is not an exaggeration to say that he should be rewarded with two Pseudo-legendary Pokémon. However, given the nature of the alliance, only one Pseudo-legendary Pokémon will be rewarded at a time. The remaining rewards will either be distributed in other forms or you have to wait a few years to get a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

There was a heated discussion within the Pokémon Association regarding Jacob's reward plan.

...

"Let's talk about how to reward Jacob." The gray-haired old man sitting at the conference table was the first to speak: "The original reward is definitely not enough. Young people like Jacob are worth our investment."

"Given Jacob's contribution and his age, he should be recognized and rewarded as a typical figure. I think he should be given rare rewards such as Pseudo-legendary." Aris, vice president of the Pokémon Association and Jacob's uncle, naturally supported his nephew without hesitation.

"I don't agree." At this time, a middle-aged man in his fifties suddenly spoke up.

This man is also one of the vice presidents of the Pokémon Association, named Ruben, who specializes in Fairy-type. After five years of waiting in line, his son finally caught the last train this year and got the chance to receive a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

However, once the association decides to give Jacob the Pseudo-legendary Pokémon as a reward, his son's place will be squeezed out and postponed for another year. Therefore, since the last time, he has strongly opposed giving Jacob the Pseudo-legendary Pokémon as a reward.

This time he also knew that his opposition would most likely be useless, but he still had to show his attitude.

"Although Jacob is very talented in scientific research, it does not mean that he is also very talented in the path of being a trainer. I heard that his strongest Pokémon is only at the elite level. Giving Jacob a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon is a complete waste. I suggest that he can exchange it for other rewards. As for the Pseudo-legendary Pokémon, it should be given to those who need it more."

"Ruben, what do you mean by someone you need more? Don't beat around the bush. You want to leave it to your son, right?" Aris ruthlessly exposed Ruben's little thoughts. He would not indulge Ruben.

Seeing Aris pointed it out directly, Ruben was not annoyed. Instead, he said calmly: "Compared to Jacob, my son is indeed more suitable for catching the Pseudo-legendary Pokémon. I admit that my son cannot compare with Jacob in scientific research, but from the perspective of a trainer, my son is far better than Jacob."

"How old is your son? How old is Jacob? Jacob only started to become a trainer this summer." Aris was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead. He put his hands on the table, pinching the edge of the table, looking at Ruben, and wanted to continue talking.

Suddenly, Maximus at the side suddenly said, "I think Jacob is fully qualified to get a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Not to mention that his contribution is more than enough to get a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon, his talent as a trainer is also very good. In the past month in the Dragon Secret Realm, he performed very well and his strength improved rapidly. Besides, when will the Pokémon Association issue rewards? There are so many things to consider."

Seeing Maximus interrupting, everyone fell silent. Maximus's strength and status were the best among all the people. Although everyone here were all king-level trainers, there was still a big gap between them and the real Heavenly Kings.

After all, if you have a Pokémon with the strength of a king, you can be called a king-level trainer. Most king-level trainers cannot ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Kings, and can only enter the Pokémon Association to take up some positions.

The Heavenly Kings are the four strongest people in the entire region. Basically all of their Pokémon are at the King level. They have at least two Pseudo-legendary Pokémon in their hands. Compared with those trainers who have just entered the King level, the difference in strength is like heaven and earth.

As long as the champion didn't show up, Maximus would be able to walk sideways in the imperial capital. Seeing Maximus speak, others also began to express their opinions.

"I agree to give Jacob a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon."

"I agree..."

...

Jacob naturally had no idea what was happening inside the Pokémon Association. After recuperating from his injuries for a day, he flew directly back to Frosthollow Province.

The plane landed, accompanied by Scott and Jude. This was the first time for the two elders to come to Starlight City in so many years. As for the eldest uncle Lewis and the younger uncle Aris, they had to rush home on the wedding day because they were too busy with work.

Jacob felt particularly at home when he returned to Starlight City. Although Starlight City was just a small city, it was Jacob's home in this world.

Because of the Grass Insect Secret Realm, Starlight City has developed extremely rapidly in the past month, and housing prices have skyrocketed, from 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per square meter to 12,000 to 13,000 yuan per square meter, and the price is still rising.

Jacob took the two elders home. A sumptuous dinner had been prepared at home. Rory stood in the house and felt a little embarrassed when looking at Scott and Jude. He could only smile awkwardly and invite them to eat.

The relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law has always been not very good. The fact that Scott and Jude came here also gave enough face to Rory and Zoe.

Because of Jacob's return, the family members who had not seen him for a month were very happy. Only Zoe felt distressed when she saw Jacob's tightly bandaged arm.

When the meal started, there was a constant stream of topics at the table and the atmosphere was extremely lively. Even Scott and Rory, the father-in-law and son-in-law who disliked each other, drank for the first time. Although the two did not talk much, at least they seemed to be able to get along well and they drank the wine.

After dinner, Zoe chatted with the two elders, while Jacob was grabbed by his brother to try on the best man's suit.

...

"Not bad, not bad, you are worthy of being my brother. You are indeed the most handsome man in the world besides me." Asher looked at Jacob who was wearing a best man suit and nodded with satisfaction.

"With you in my name, I'm also the most handsome one, okay?" Jacob responded bluntly.

"You are so arrogant. You dare to challenge my appearance. Forget it. I won't bother with you. Go quickly and change your clothes. Don't get them dirty."

Asher took Jacob towards the gym and told Asher about the changes in the past month. Thanks to the Grass Insect Secret Realm, the gym had made good profits recently and had a lot more apprentices.

"How is the training of your Darumaka going?" Jacob asked curiously.

"Very good, that Darumaka has made rapid progress." Asher said with a smile, and then turned the topic to the Bulbasaur: "By the way, what are you going to do with your Bulbasaur? Are you going to bring it with you this time?"

"I don't want it. Of course it's for you or my dad." Jacob waved his hand and refused: "Open up your mind, Comrade Asher. I want to be a man who trains Dragon-type trainers. I don't care about anything other than Dragon-type trainers. Moreover, the grass and poison-attributed Bulbasaur can effectively attack the water, rock, and ground weaknesses of Darumaka. Comrade Asher, that Bulbasaur is yours."

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a month. Are you getting cocky? Do you even look down on non-Dragon Pokémon?"
