After 41 hours of soaking in the Dragon Pool, Dragonite's potential remained unged at Purple. This didn't surprise Julian.
If the Dragon Pool could elevate potential to Gold, then Dragonite's father would already be at Gold instead of Purple.
However, there was now a faint trace of gold within the Purple, much like wheagross ed the Heart of Arceus.
Though subtle, it did slightly improve Dragonite's potential.
As for strength, Dragonite has reached the peak of pseudo-Elite rank.
Its energy reserves were suffit to asd to Elite-level, but its body was temporarily weakened due to the violent infusion on Pool energy. Immediate progression wasn't advisable.
This was simir to Dyn's Samence, which broke through to Elite-level after soaking in the Dragon Pool and abs suffit energy.
Additionally, the power onite's Dragon-type moves was enhahanks to the Dragon Pool.
However, this wasn't a guarantee for all Pokémon—when Dyn's Sameno suha was noted. Clearly, the duration of the soak pyed a critical role.
Championite: "Sohis."
Dragonite's father handed over a thumb-sized, jelly-like object.
Julian, unfamiliar with the item, used his Probing Eyes to i it:
Dragon Pool Crystal: A crystallized form on Pool energy. ption enhances overall physical strength. Most effective fon-type Pokémon.
Without a doubt, this was a treasure among Dragon-types.
It enhanced prehensive physical attributes, including speed, strength, reflexes, and durability.
Julian quickly searched for it in the system store and found it listed for 30,000 points.
'e hit jackpot!'
Julian gri Dragonite's father, shamelessly asking, "Got any more of these?"
After all, he had a Gabite waiting in line, and even non-types could be from the crystal—though it worked best fon-types.
The Champion-level Dragonite shook its head and said, "This crystal only forms three pieces every hundred years. I'm down to my st one. If you want, I'll save the one for you."
Julian immediately his Dragonite was worth befriending— such treasures so generously.
"How long until the one appears?"
"About 80 years. It'll pass in no time."
Julian: (?_?ノ)
'Eighty years? I don't even know if I'll live that long!'
Fonite, whose lifespan stretched over a thousand years, 80 years felt like a blink. But for humans, 80 years was nearly aire lifetime.
The average life expe Drakoria hadn't even reached 75 yet.
"Alright, I'll have my grandson pick it up wheime es"
Julian said resolutely. Even if he wasn't around to cim it, his desdants would. And if he somehow survived, he'd e to retrieve it himself.
"Oh, I fot you humans are such short-lived creatures. If you die, I'll have my son deliver it to your desdants"
The Champion-level Dragonite replied, a hint of mencholy fshing in its eyes.
This Dragonite, now over 200 years old, had once been bonded with a trainer.
After its trainer passed away, the trainer's desdants had returned Dragoo the Dragon's Den. That trainer was now sidered an aor of the Drake family.
Julian: "How polite of you."
It was a fact, though—Julian would likely pass away first. None of his Pokémon had short lifespans.
Even his Growlithe, the oh the shortest potential lifespan, could live 70-80 years. If it evolved into an Are and reached Elite-level, it could easily live over a tury.
This was one of the reasons prestigious families survived feions. Their loy wasn't just about wealth or es—it was also because of the Pokémo behind by their aors.
When aential crisis loomed, these aral Pokémnizing the bloodline of their inal trainers, would interveo protect the family.
Take the Drake family, for example. While they might ck a visible Champion-level traihey had plenty of powerful aral Pokémon.
This Champion-level Dragoself beloo one of their forebears. If the Drake family faced annihition, this Dragonite would step in without hesitation.
Such was the foundation of a top-tier family—an uable reserve of hidden cards.
The Walker family had simir resources. Within the Oreburgh Great Wall Secret Realm y a Champion-level Metagross, another aral Pokémon of the family.
After ing the Dragon Pool Crystal from its father and a Full Restore provided by Julian, Dragonite healed rapidly, and its body tio grow stronger.
Julian and the Champion-level Dragoood by, watg as Dragonite closed its eyes.
Its aura steadily intensified, its life essence climbing to new heights.
It was about to break through!
Julian's breath quied as he fixed his gaze onite.
The leap from pseudo-Elite to Elite was not just a level breakthrough; it marked a profound transformation in the essence of life itself.
Dragonite's breakthrough wasn't dramatic or earth-shattering. Amidst the winds and snow at the summit on Mountain, it calmly advao the Elite level.

Julian's first true Elite-level Pokémon was officially born.
This wasn't the result of Mega Evolution or a temporary Elite-tier enha from ae Experience Card; this was a genuine, undeniable breakthrough.
Julian had expected his ace, Metagross, to be the first to reach Elite tier. However, to his surprise, Dragonite cimed the milestone ahead of it.
The primary reason for this achievement was undoubtedly the Dragon Pool.
The pool, however, had paid a signifit price fonite's breakthrough. Its water level had dropped by at least ohird due to the massive energy absorption.
Rest it to its former state would take approximately ten years.
